Gloria restated and re-explained to him when she saw Jordy had kept silent.
"I don’t want to keep telling and explaining. Let me help you with your dressing," said she as she rose to her feet.
She opened the gauze. The stitched wounds were ugly and swollen.
She put the herbal medicine she had specially made on.
She knew the medicine could be strong, but unexpectedly Jordy restrained himself well and only frowned a little bit.
She admired Jordy’s ability to withhold pain.
The last time she had helped him with the dressing had been after the surgery. And Jordy was awake this time.
She reached her hand to his back, which brought the two of them very close.
Jordy smelled of herbs mixed with his own light masculine hormone. She could hear his rhythmic heartbeat...
Her breath started to get harder all of a sudden.
This was the first time they had been this close to each other after their divorce.
"Gloria."
