How Could He Be This Embarrassed?

"Now, take off your shirt."

"...what?"

The flustered look on Lucas' face made Liliana chuckle. She said further, "Do you want me to re-apply the bandage on your shirt? Hurry, let me treat your back first."

"Oh! Yes, yes... wait."

Lucas turned around, letting his back face Liliana. He didn't know she was holding back laughter as she spotted how red his ears were.

How could he be this embarrassed?

Liliana filtered out the fact that she didn't feel as shy as last night. She waited until Lucas unbuttoned the shirt and pulled down the left side of the clothes. The place where he got injured was revealed to her, hidden by the gauze.

"I'll tear this bandage," Liliana moved closer to Lucas. She needed to kneel on the floor because of their height difference, "Tell me if it hurts."

The reply to Liliana's words was a muffled hum from Lucas. She laughed softly and saw his ears turn redder.
