Chapter 1219 Help Him Change Clothes

The next day. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Alex had hardly slept all night, and it was almost dawn when he finally fell asleep. He slept until nine in the morning, and if Jewel hadn't come to wake him, he probably would have slept a little longer. His entire body ached as if he had run dozens of miles, yet he felt unexplainably exhausted. After that, he realized that he should start working out more frequently.

In the past, he could go without food or drink for a day, fly to three different countries, and engage in three negotiations without feeling any different. Yet now, after only one bout, he was a broken man.

As she tidied up the sheets, she muttered, "I'll have Olivia take a look at your injuries. They have good medicine here. My older brother also recovered quickly from his injuries last time."

Alex smiled and reached out from behind to pull Jewel into his arms, resting his chin on her shoulder. His voice was filled with indulgence as he said, "You're so good to me, Jewel."

However, she pressed her lips together and silently chuckled. "Alright, go change your clothes."

He obediently agreed, letting go of her and carefully supporting his injured waist as he slowly approached the luggage.

Watching him struggle with walking, she couldn't bear it anymore and blurted out, "Okay, stop moving. Let me help you!"

Alex froze in his tracks, then turned his head slowly, his eyes filled with surprise and a glimmer of excitement. Does she want to help me change clothes? My Jewel has grown up!

Seeing his excited expression, Jewel knew he had misunderstood and quickly explained, "I meant I'll help you find clothes. Don't think too much." Honestly! What is he thinking?

As soon as he heard this, the spark of anticipation in his eyes went out. He thought he would get some benefits from being sick. He looked at her frantically, searching for clothes for him, and sighed playfully, "I'm afraid to stretch my arms because it hurts when I do."

She frowned and commented, "Then, try to move as little as possible and avoid hurting yourself."

"Still, how am I supposed to put it on?" He sneakily glanced at her, fiddling with the shirt like an elderly person who couldn't take care of themselves and could not put it on no matter how hard he tried.

Jewel became anxious while watching Alex struggle. She resisted for a while but eventually gave in and walked over to assist him in putting on the shirt. Then, she looked at the pants. Uh... She raised her gaze to him, thinking that she couldn't possibly help him put on his pants, right?

At this instant, her eyes happened to meet his gaze.

In the meantime, his eyes seemed eager and scorching, as if they could melt a person.

Nevertheless, she instinctively averted her gaze, her face burning with embarrassment. This is going too far! It's one thing to ask for assistance with the shirt, but asking me to help with the pants is too much. Never before have I put pants on a man!

On the other hand, Alex found Jewel's shyness extremely endearing. Despite saying nothing, he could interpret all of the messages conveyed by her eyes. Soon, a mischievous smile played on his lips. "Jewel, if you don't help me, I won't be able to put them on."

She shot him a stern look that communicated, 'Don't push it,' even though she remained silent.

He smiled and leaned closer, whispering in her ear, "We're boyfriend and girlfriend. We'll have to do many things together in the future. How will we handle it if you're always so shy?"

After considering it for a moment, she realized he had a point. Even with limited knowledge, one can still make reasonable decisions. Isn't he bullying me for being shy? Then, she pushed him away and pointed at the bed, commanding him, "Well, sit on the bed first."
