Chapter 485
The VIP ward was a luxury suite with all the bells and whistles. Even the bathroom boasted a jacuzzi. Welton International Hospital had only three such suites, and they cost a small fortune. Few could afford them. Eliza's suite was being used for the first time. "Elle, this jacuzzi is really comfy, perfect for... a couples' bath," Casper teased, flashing a grin.
Eliza glared at him, her eyes blazing, "You said you didn't want to take advantage of me? Casper, have you no shame? I only agreed to give you a chance, and if you keep this up, you'll blow it."
"I was just offering to help you bathe, not suggesting we share a couples' bath," he chuckled, reaching to unbutton her clothes, his lips brushing her ear, "Ms. Eliza, you're thinking dangerously."
Eliza's ears turned crimson. "I wasn't thinking anything inappropriate. You're the one trying to take advantage of me," she stammered.
"If I wanted to take advantage of you, given your current state, I would have...," his slender fingers gently traced her cheek, his voice as soft as a whisper, low and husky, "...had you eight hundred times over." "Shameless." Her fair neck flushed deep red.
He laughed, triumphant, "Alright, undress and behave."
"Get out, I can wash myself," Eliza protested. Just because she was blind didn't mean she was okay with being exposed, "Hurry up and leave."
"Okay, I'm leaving. Be careful," he said, turning to walk away, reaching for the doorknob.
As the door closed with a thud, Eliza's dim eyes twitched slightly, "Casper? Have you left?"
"Casper?"
"Casper, did you really leave?"
Receiving no answer, she began to undress herself.
And the man, who had never left his spot by the door, watched closely as her fingers moved...
Eliza's figure was stunning, rivaling top celebrities and models, even after having a child.
To put it simply, it ignited a fire in him.
An inevitable reaction occurred.
He couldn't deny his desire for her, wanting her more than once.
But he couldn't act on it.
Suppressing his desire, he stood still, carefully watching her fumble, not daring to be distracted.
Her movements were clumsy and cautious.
But she took each step with great care.
This reassured him somewhat.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Watching her carefully step into the bathtub, he deliberately made noise with the doorknob.
"Casper?" Eliza, startled, hugged her chest, "Why did you come back in?"
"Here to help you wash," he said, striding to the bathtub, "Need help scrubbing your back?"
"No need." She just wanted a simple soak, worried about what he might do, "Leave, I'll call if I need help."
"Such a stranger." He smiled, "We haven't even filed for divorce yet, we're still husband and wife. No need to be so formal."

"Casper." Eliza was getting angry, blind though she was, she could sense his presence, "Keep provoking me, and I'll end your chances of winning me back right now.
"Don't, please." He was genuinely worried, dropping the playful tone, turning serious, "I need to tell you, you'll need another surgery on your eyes. After the surgery, you should regain your sight."
"Oh." She knew it was only a matter of time, but the thought still infuriated her, "If you hadn't gotten engaged to Susan, she wouldn't have targeted me. I must have owed you in my past life to suffer this much now."
Guilt was evident on Casper's softened expression.
