Twin Cupids at Work Daddy Come Home novel Chapter 673

She knew Julian was just trying to make her feel better. This wasn’t some small cut that would heal overnight. Getting her sight back wasn’t going to be easy.

“Okay.” Madeline tried to sound relaxed, giving a little nod. If Julian wanted to comfort her, she’d let him.

“Do you still want to freshen up?”

Madeline shook her head. “It’s fine. We’d probably just mess up the bandages. No need to bother. I can wait.”

“I’ll help you.”

She blinked, surprised. “Huh?”

“I’ll help you.” Before she could protest, Julian scooped her up and started carrying her toward the bathroom.

“Wait… hold on.”

Something felt off, and Madeline’s face changed. “Julian, I’m still hurt, remember? I can’t—you know—do anything with you right now. Are you sure you can keep yourself under control?”

Julian shot her a look she couldn’t quite read and said quietly, “I’ll manage.”

Madeline wanted to back out, but he was already undoing her buttons. “Lift your arm.”

Embarrassed, Madeline bit down on her lower lip. “Can’t we just call a nurse?”

“I don’t want anyone else seeing you,” Julian said, firm but gentle.

“The nurse is a woman!”

“I don’t care. That’s not the point.”

A fierce heat flooded Madeline’s cheeks, blooming down her neck until she felt like she might spontaneously combust.

She bit her lip harder, not daring to meet his eyes.

Julian paused, his fingers lingering just a second longer, his breathing suddenly heavier.

She couldn’t see, but she could sense the shift in the air between them.

“You…” she started, then just closed her mouth. No words came out.
