Her Sweetness 8

"Young Madam, are you feeling better?" Elijah adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and looked away from the creases on the bed sheets that Logan had just pressed down on.

He was clearly evaluating the relationship between the two, with some truth and some falsehood.

"You're awake now, and I've called the doctor in to check on you." While Logan was on the phone with Old Master Wilson, the family doctor who had been waiting downstairs came in.

After a careful examination of Skyler's body, the doctor removed the drip.

"Madam's body is fine now. The fever has gone down, and the small wound on her hand has been treated. Just take a tetanus shot to prevent infection. The most important thing is the deep wound on her forehead. Although it doesn't need stitches, it still needs to be taken care of to avoid scarring."

"In addition, the ankle sprain needs to be well-rested. I have some ointment provided by Young Master Pei here. Madam should massage it before bed every day to promote blood circulation and remove stasis. During this time, try to avoid excessive movement."

Elijah carefully noted down the usage of the antibiotics and a bunch of nutritional supplements for Skyler.

Just then, Logan finished his call and walked in from the balcony.

"Young Master Lee, I've written down the usage and dosage of these medicines. Please remind Young Madam to take them on time." Elijah's tone was flat, but the meaning was clear.

He hoped that Logan could personally massage Skyler's ankle with the ointment.

As Elijah handed the bottle of ointment to Logan, Skyler's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

Her breathing became tense.

As a married couple, Mr. Xiao's proposal was, of course, not a problem.

But the problem was that she and Logan were not really married.

To let that cold man apply medicine for her and even let him massage her ankles... Skyler couldn't even imagine such a scene.

Just as Skyler was worried that Logan would sweep away the medicine bottle from Mr. Xiao's hand in the next moment, Logan took the medicine from Elijah's hand and said, "Got it."

He lowered his eyes and looked at her, his long fingers rubbing her hairline.

"Mrs. Lee, did you hear that? You have to be good... When Mr. Lee applies the medicine for you, you can't act spoiled, okay?"

Logan's deep voice was filled with an indulgence that she had never heard before.

The rough fingertips gently pinched her soft cheeks, and the warmth transmitted from his fingertips made Skyler's eyes slightly moist.

She looked at the man's serene eyes.

Skyler, who was being "indulged": "..."

Elijah had just left the room.

Logan's touch on Skyler's cheek disappeared.

The faint smile at the corner of his mouth faded away, and the indulgence in his eyes disappeared, replaced by a cold and icy expression.

He raised his eyebrows and stood up, throwing the bottle of medicine next to Skyler. "Apply it yourself."

The once cool and deep voice was now devoid of any warmth.

It was as if the caring "Mr. Lee" who had been with her in front of Xiao Assistant was just a figment of her imagination.

However, Skyler was only momentarily surprised for a few seconds.

She didn't feel any disappointment because she knew all along that Logan could never be good to her.

In his eyes, she was a woman with a messy private life, malicious intentions, and even a dirty thief.

She was self-aware and wouldn't misunderstand his feelings towards her.

"Um." Skyler lightly pursed her lips and held the medicine bottle in her hand. "But I have another question... Although I know everything is just to deal with Xiao Assistant, this room only has one bed... How... should we sleep?"

Skyler cautiously asked the question that concerned her the most.

Logan's bedroom was expensive, but it was obvious that there was only one large bed in the room.

She couldn't even sleep on the sofa because the only sofa in the corner of the room was a single-seater.

"Skyler, how could you ask such a stupid question?" Logan's low and cold voice came from the closet.

"What?" Skyler was confused.

The man's thin lips curved into an elegant arc, revealing a cold and ruthless glint. "When did you hear that a commodity has the right to choose its own place to stay? If you forget who the employer is and who the commodity is in the contract, it's best to review it."

Logan returned from the closet with a thin woolen blanket draped over his long arm. He casually tossed the blanket onto the floor at the foot of the bed.

"Elijah is staying here, so we can't have any extra bedding in the room... From now on, this is where you'll be sleeping," Logan said.

"I... I sleep there? On the floor?!" Skyler pointed to the ground, gesturing toward the thin woolen blanket.

Logan raised an eyebrow, his cold gaze returning to Skyler's surprised face.

On his handsome and peerless face, there was an indifferent chill that spoke volumes.

Yes!

He didn’t even need to speak, as the answer was already written in his eyes.

Skyler never expected that Logan, this man, would be so lacking in sympathy!

In the dead of winter, he was making a sick person sleep on the floor!

But she knew he was right.

He was the boss, the employer, the one who paid the bills!

If she didn’t sleep on the floor, was she going to make him lower himself and sleep there instead?!

"I understand, Master Lee. Goodnight then." Skyler was so angry she didn’t even bother taking her medicine, rolling off the bed and wrapping herself in the blanket to sleep.
