Chapter 62 Isaac Opened His Arms for a Hug
"Griffin, you've written even more explicit than last time," Isaac dangerously squinted his eyes.
Griffin chuckled, "Thanks to Isaac for inspiring me. Every time I see Isaac, my writing flows smoothly!"
Wesley kicked him in the leg and warned him in a low voice, "You idiot, if you don't want to die, shut up!"
Griffin touched his head in distress.
He hadn't done anything wrong, so why did everyone think he did?
"Wesley, pair him up with Rhys!" Isaac suppressed his anger and gritted his teeth.
Wesley wanted to plead for Griffin.
But after looking at Isaac's gloomy face, he didn't dare to speak and could only nod, "Yes, I'll arrange it right away."
Isaac picked up Nora and walked back to the room with big strides.
He placed Nora on the bed.
Nora finally regained her composure. She glanced at the bed beneath her, a hint of repulsion in her eyes, and immediately sat up, preparing to get out of bed.
Earlier, she hadn't given it much thought because she was worried about Isaac. Now that she was certain Isaac was fine, her thoughts returned to her, and she felt a strong sense of rejection and aversion towards the bed and the room.
That night, Isaac had called Kalista back and they had sex in this room. The bedsheets and blanket on this bed might even be the ones they used that night. The thought made her even more repulsed.
"Don't worry, this bed has only been slept in by you and me," Isaac seemed to see through her thoughts and explained with a half-smile.
"Everything else in this room that others have touched has been replaced."
Nora's eyes flashed with surprise. Kalista didn't get on the bed that night? Did they do it while standing?
"Put away your strange thoughts. Nothing that you imagine ever happened in this room!" Isaac scolded in a low voice as if he could read her mind.
Nora looked at him in astonishment. Nothing that she had imagined happened? Could it be... "So, nothing happened between you and Kalista that night?" she blurted out the question in her mind.
"No," Isaac answered awkwardly.
Nora felt as if she could hear her own heartbeat accelerating. Her mood instantly became elated. But then she realized that this was not a time to be happy. She quickly collected herself and looked at his abdomen, asking worriedly, "How is your injury?"
Isaac said, "No internal organs were injured. The external wound has been stitched up, it's not a big deal. It'll be alright once the wound heals."
Nora let out a sigh of relief. "That's good. Since you're fine now, I'll be heading back. Rest well." After she finished speaking, she stood up and prepared to leave.
Isaac lowered his gaze and looked at her with a feint smile, "I got such a serious injury saving you, and now you're planning to leave like this?"
Nora paused in her steps. She bit her lip and said sincerely, "Thank you for saving me. I will give you a gift to express my gratitude for saving my life."
"Do you think I'm someone who lacks gifts?" Isaac teased.
Nora's face was full of embarrassment. ‘Yes. He's so rich, he has everything at home. He doesn't lack anything at all. Besides, just giving a gift to show gratitude for saving her life seemed insincere. ‘
"Then what do you want? You can make any requests, as long as I can do it, I will." She raised her eyes, her clear gaze meeting his deep eyes.
Isaac said, "I won't make things difficult for you. Just take care of me until I recover."
Nora furrowed her brow.
Taking care of him meant staying and spending time with him.
She had finally developed some feelings for Steve and feared that being with Isaac again would make her fall into that same trap.
"If you don't want to, then forget it. I won't force you," Isaac said softly.
Nora clenched her teeth but couldn't bring herself to be ungrateful.
"Fine, I promise to take care of you until you recover!"
"Okay."
Isaac slowly extended his arms.
Nora's face grew hot, feeling awkward she said, "Um...isn't this not a good idea?"
She had only agreed to take care of him, not to engage physically. What did it mean for him to ask for a hug?
"What's wrong?" Isaac frowned and asked.
Nora didn't know how to respond, her face burning.
She bit her lip and mustered up the courage to embrace him.
He had saved her life, so hugging was just a form of comfort, right?
Isaac's body tensed up instantly.
He lowered his gaze, looking deeply into her eyes. "What are you doing?"
Nora said, "You opened your arms, didn't you want a hug?"
Isaac's mouth twitched, "I asked you to help me change my bandages. When I hugged you just now, it caused my wounds to bleed."
Nora's mouth twitched as well.
All the blood rushed to her face.
Her entire face turned red in an instant.
"Will you let me go?" Isaac reminded her with a half-smile.
Nora suddenly snapped back to reality, and in a panic, she let go of him and hastily moved back, creating distance between them.
She lowered her head, afraid to meet his gaze, feeling so embarrassed she wished she could sink into the ground.
"I... I misunderstood your intentions..." Nora stammered.
A trace of amusement gleamed in Isaac's eyes as he said calmly, "Stop apologizing and quickly help me change the bandages."
Nora took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down.
Then, with a red face, she reached out to unbutton his shirt.
She unbuttoned them one by one.
His fair, strong, and muscular chest was revealed.
Further down, his well-defined abs were also visible.
The exquisite contours and smooth skin were like a perfect work of art, emitting a strong aura of masculinity.
Nora's heart raced faster, and her face grew increasingly hot.
Although she had seen and touched it countless times before, she still couldn't control her accelerated heartbeat every time she saw his physique.
Around his waist, a bandage was wrapped.
The area on his left abdomen was already stained red with blood.
Nora saw the blood-red color and her heart contracted, leaving behind only worry and concern as her romantic thoughts were instantly extinguished.
"You sit down first, I'll go get the first aid kit," Nora immediately went downstairs to find the kit and returned to the room.
Isaac had already sat down beside the bed.
Nora walked over with the medicine kit, trying hard to ignore the charm emanating from him.
She picked up the scissors and cut open the bandage around his waist.
Then she disinfected and removed the bloodstains.
Finally, she applied medication and bandaged him up.
When wrapping the bandage around his waist, she had to loop it around his back.
Her hands weren't long enough, so she had to lean closer to him, circling the bandage around him inch by inch.
The distance between them was very close, and when her hand looped back, her body almost pressed against his chest.
She could almost feel his burning breath.
Her already blushing face turned even redder, as if blood was about to drip out.
Isaac lowered his eyelids, his deep eyes fixed on her small head, which was almost touching him.
At such a close distance, he could clearly smell the fragrance on her.
Suddenly, he felt restless, as fiery heat quickly gathered within his body.
"It's bandaged now. Let me go get you some clean clothes to change into," Nora quickly stood up and said awkwardly.
"Okay," Isaac's lazy voice somewhat hoarse, "Bring a pair of pants too, help me change into them together."
After a few seconds, he added, "Change my underwear too."
