Since this was the first time Lana had ever seen James being so assertive with her, she found herself momentarily at a loss of what to say. Taking that chance, James quickly carried her into one of the tents before heading out and returning with a basin of warm water…
“I boiled some water over an open fire earlier, and don’t worry, I made sure to delegate most of it to those who need it. This is your portion, now get yourself cleaned and have some rest, alright?”
Before Lana could reply, James had already exited the tent, making sure to zip the entrance along the way…
Lana herself remained too startled to even register all that had happened for a while. After all, as a doctor, she usually took care of others, and things almost never happened the other way around… So this was what it felt like to be cared for, huh…?
In the end, Lana wiped herself clean… and it was only when she tried to lift the basin away that she realized that he had also brought some clean clothes for her, lingerie included. How observant… But also, how embarrassing!
Unbeknownst to Lana, her silhouette could faintly be seen from outside the tent… and James had to use every bit of his might to refrain from looking at her. Even if they were married, he needed to still be a gentleman!
Thankfully, he soon heard the sound of a tent unzipping… and this prompted him to turn around and ask, “All done? If so, head to bed. I’ll wash your clothes for you.”
…Wait. Did he want to hand wash her clothes? Lingerie included…?!
Noticing how troubled she looked, James couldn’t help but raise a slight brow before adding, “…Do I need to be more assertive again?”
…Definitely not! Following a helpless sigh, she handed her dirty clothes to him before heading back into the tent.
Alas, the thought of him handling her intimate clothing made it literally impossible for her heart to calm down! At least, that was what she thought. After all, it was only a few minutes later that she dozed off, clearly exhausted…
