“Get… Get a bath towel on first. Then, I will help you up.”
Adina said as she closed her eyes tightly.
Duke threw open his arms and said, “My left arm feels powerless. I can’t lift it up. I wouldn’t have called
you here otherwise.”
Adina was speechless.
Adina took a deep breath and opened her eyes a little bit. She scanned the bathroom and quickly found
the bath towel. She pulled it off the rack and threw it on him. “Wrap it around you, now!”
Duke let out a stifled laugh.
Why did she look so cute when she was shy?
He let out a subtle sigh and said, “Give me a hand. I really don’t have much strength.”
Adina wished she could kick him away.
She took a deep breath and hastily wrapped the towel around his body
In the midst of her panic, her hand touched his body. It was as cold as ice.
Only then did she notice that there was not a trace of heat in the bathroom.

She frowned and said, “Your injury is not yet healed. How could you take a cold shower? What if you
catch a cold?”
As she said that, she turned around and caught the man’s dark eyes.
His passionate gaze seemed to carry a hint of warmth that contrasted with his cold body.
“Help me up.”
Duke put his hand on her shoulder.
The arm was supposed to be cold, yet Adina felt like an arm that was ablaze was pressing against her.
Her heart was pounding. She could only force herself to remain calm as she helped him to his feet.
She was petite. So when Duke stood up, the pressure made her bend over. She fell forward
uncontrollably and hit the switch of the shower head.
Water rained down on Adina.
“I haven’t finished showering. Help me.”
Adina trembled all over.
She gulped a mouthful of icy air. “You … You should probably finish your shower by yourself.”
“If you leave me here alone in the bathroom, I will fall a third time.”
Duke said to her. His voice was hoarse. His eyes were dark with
sparks of fire in them. A gust of wind would spread the fire and burn everything down.
Adina knew what it meant if she stayed, but she could not lift her feet at all.
“Your clothes are wet. You will catch a cold if you keep wearing them.”
Duke lifted his hand and unbuttoned her collar.
Adina felt as if her breath had been taken from her. She remained stiff, not daring to move.
She knew what was about to happen. She was surprised that she did not feel any reluctance at all.
She even felt a little lost in this amorous and suffocating atmosphere.
“Addy, I love you.”
Duke cupped her face and kissed her gently on the lips.
Water from the shower was pouring down. They held each other tightly in the bathroom.
Adina did not even know how she got out of the bathroom or how she got thrown on the white wedding
bed.
The atmosphere in the room was steamy and romantic. 1
