Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After

Chapter 105 Could You

Check On Her

Collin hesitated, a flicker of uncertainty crossing his face.

He had intended to reveal everything to Linsey, but recent events had seeded doubts in his mind.

Would learning his secrets place her in greater peril?

Before Collin could reply, Linsey dismissed her suspicions with a chuckle. "I must be seeing things. You're in a wheelchair -how could you possibly..."

As she spoke, a grimace crossed her face, and she raised a hand to her temple. "My head's starting to ache a little..."

Reacting swiftly, Collin grasped her hand-the one affected by the IV needle-and called out, "Dominic, could you please come here?" His voice carried to Dominic, who had been watching the unfolding scene from the doorway, amused. "She's in pain. Could you check on her?"

Dominic entered immediately, assessing Linsey while a nurse tended to her hand where the IV had been placed.

"It's not serious," Dominic assured them after a brief examination. "Just a typical side effect of medicine. She'll be fine with

some rest."

He handed a tube of ointment to Collin. "She's got injuries. Make sure to apply this regularly."

Collin was taken aback. "Why are you handing this to me?"

Dominic rolled his eyes discreetly, muttering about Collin's naivete before explaining, "She's got injuries-some minor, but others, like the ones on her back and arm, are quite severe. Do you expect me to apply the ointment for her? Aren't you

her husband?"

Hearing this, Linsey felt a surge of discomfort.

Though they were married, their relationship had remained platonic.

Collin had always resisted any assistance with personal tasks, such as removing his shirt, so how could he be expected to

help with her wounds?

With this in mind, she reached for the ointment herself, saying, "I'll take care of it..."

Her abrupt movement aggravated the wound on her arm, causing her to wince in pain and inhale sharply.

The nurse intervened promptly. "We should apply the ointment now. She was too agitated earlier, which likely worsened it. Now that she's settled, the pain is more noticeable,"

Dominic gave the nurse a discreet thumbs-up for her timely assistance.

"We'll leave you two to it. If you need anything, just press the nurse button," Dominic advised, patting Collin on the shoulder as he led the nurse out and carefully closed the door behind him.

The room suddenly felt more tense. Linsey glanced at Collin, who remained silent, then made another attempt to reach for

the ointment.

Collin noticed her gesture and shifted to block her hand. "I'll handle it. Don't move."

His face was composed as he looked at her and said plainly, "Take off your hospital gown. I'll apply the ointment."

Linsey's cheeks turned a deep shade of red. She stuttered, "That's... not appropriate..."

Collin, his expression serious, countered, saying, "We're married. What's inappropriate about that?"

Linsey bit her lip, her mind wrestling with indecision. Finally, she turned away from him and slowly began to loosen her hospital gown. With a resigned sigh, she lay down on her stomach.

Collin's eyes briefly traced the curve of her slender waist, causing him to swallow hard for a moment.

However, the sight of the bruises across her back brought him back to reality. One deep wound, in particular, looked freshly aggravated, and her arm was visibly swollen and reddened.

His expression turned grave as he picked up a sterile cotton swab and started to apply the ointment with careful precision.

Linsey felt the cool, tingling sensation of the ointment on her skin.noveldrama

"Don't worry," Collin whispered softly, his tone low and soothing. His touch was gentle, each application of the ointment thoughtful and tender.
