"Later?" I repeated and he nodded before glancing at Jay to continue his discussion about the company matters.

I already asked him in the morning and he repeated the same word and now after returning to the house as I got the water ready, he again uttered that word.

He didn't bathe for two days and with the accident, as far as I know, he must be irritated as I always saw him taking bath two times a day without fail. So, what happened now? Because of me?

"Otherwise, I can call Prathap and let him help you." I commented after Jay left to follow his orders.

"No Need!" I sighed hearing those words and just stared at him while he is scrolling down on his phone without looking at me.

"Are you shy that you need to remove your clothes?" I asked and he finally glanced up to stare at me.

"No!" He replied and I nodded before saying, "Because I already saw you without your clothes and so there is no need to feel shy."

"What?" he asked frowning and I nodded before reminding him of the day when he got drunk and wet in rain.

"So, you saw me?" He asked again and I nodded at his question.

I didn't see him at all as at that time he was fine for a few minutes at intervals and he changed his own clothes during that time and when I actually saw him without his clothes, he was soaking in the bathtub.

However, if I don't say those words, I don't think he will allow me to help him now. As expected, he immediately kept his phone away saying, "Then please help me."

I nodded returning to the washroom to bring the tup I filled with warm water and the towel I already arranged.

I need to finish this soon as Han mailed me saying she will have the class today and there is not much time before the class starts.

When I returned to the room, he already removed the shirt that Jay helped him to change into this morning.

I paused staring at him and he placed the shirt away before glancing at me saying, "Will you be comfortable?"

He is asking me that? Wasn't he the one who was hesitant from yesterday feeling discomfort? Why is he suddenly comfortable just because I told him that I saw him without clothes in the past?

I walked closer to him and placed the tub on the floor to sit on the bed beside him. When I squeezed out the water from the towel, I found him sitting still. I moved my hand and immediately paused with a frown on my face.

"What happened to you?" I asked staring at the long scar on his chest and placed my fingers over it and dropped the towel back into the tub to see whether it is the recent one but he immediately moved his hand to hold my hand.

I didn't see this scar when I was standing at the washroom door but now it is so clear but at the same time it is not.

"What happened?" I asked staring at his face and found him staring back at me with a frown.

"Didn't you say earlier that you already saw me..." I cut him off saying, "How could I do that when you were not in proper conscious? I gave you your privacy and you changed your clothes by yourself."

"I just said those words thinking you were feeling shy and you need to have this bath before you get any skin infection on top of these injuries." I added and he frowned hearing those words.

"This is nothing!" he mumbled and I nodded without asking any more questions.

"Okay! I will not ask. Can you let go of my hand?" I asked while trying my best to not keep my pressed on his chest because of his hand pressing over mine.
