Ex-husband's Sweet Trap novel Chapter 67

"You should stop making your wound worse."

Even if it didn't get infected, it would still be life-threatening if he lost too much blood.

"But I'm not feeling well now."

Henry lay on the bed. His hair was damp with sweat due to the pain, which softened his features.

"You don't feel well? Are you dizzy? Is your vision blurred?

As soon as Luz heard that he was unwell, she became anxious again. Could it be that he had lost too much blood?

Henry was enjoying being fretted over. He waited a couple of minutes because saying casually, "I haven't had a shower in a week."

Since he was injured, he had never taken a shower. He had been sweating a lot over the last few days, so he felt sticky all over.

Luz was stunned at first, and then she understood what he meant. The red on her nose spread to her cheeks as well.

He was asking her to help him...

"Help me clean myself up. You don't want to bear with the smell either, do you?"

"I... my nose has been stuffy these few days so I didn't smell anything." She made a hurried excuse and turned her face towards the window. Even though they had been married for a year before, and had seen each other naked several times before as well, but the thought of cleaning him made her blush.

"Then I'll have to do it myself."

Henry was completely unfazed. He reached out a hand to grab the towel in the basin. Luz, afraid that he would agitate his wound again, grabbed the towel before he could.

"I'll help."

The man on the bed curled up his lips into a smile. "Wipe down my entire body."

"..."

His words made her regret her actions, but when she thought of the image of him covered in blood, she gritted her teeth and put up with it.

She could do it. They'd seen each other in all their naked glories seven years ago anyway. Nothing much could have changed in seven years.

She pushed the warm towel over his body, starting from his ankle. Henry's back was a little stiff, but he tried not to show any discomfort so that he wouldn't pull at the muscles around his wound. However, as Luz neared the sensitive areas, the endurance quickly became torture.

The muscles inside his thighs tightened, and even his waist and butt were pulled back. Henry pressed his lips together tightly. He had done this to himself.

The towel in Luz's hand moved slower and slower. Soon, she arrived at his groin.

Her face was red as she kept her gaze outside of the window.

"That's enough."

Henry could have gone with it if she hadn't stopped, but now that she did, he could feel all the blood in his brain rush to the area between his thighs. He had to stop her.

Otherwise, when his desire was awakened, he wouldn't be able to control himself and he would have to bear the consequences.

"Okay, then I'll... go get some water."

Like a criminal who had been granted a special pardon, she quickly picked up the basin on the side and walked out hurriedly.

Henry took a few deep breaths and managed to calm down his burning desire. There was a flash of regret in his eyes. He should have waited a few days before asking her to clean his body.

In the yard, Luz walked back and forth with a red face. The farmer's wife got up to go to the bathroom and was shocked when she saw her pacing.

"It's so late. Why aren't you sleeping?"

"I... I'm enjoying the night scenery."

She raised her head and pointed at the dark sky. She instantly felt extremely embarrassed. The sky was so dark there was nothing to see.

The next day, both of them woke up late. The farmer's wife had left some food for them, which made Luz embarrassed. They were just borrowing the place to recover, not to have a vacation.

"Auntie, we'll get up early for breakfast next time."

"It's fine, I was young once too. Sometimes young people feel tired in the morning after that."

As she spoke, she did not forget to wink at her. She knew that everyone who had ever been young would understand.

"..."

Hearing that, her face turned red. She quickly returned to her room with the food in her hands. Lying on the bed, Henry saw her coming in with a red face. Coupled with the loud voice of the farmer's wife, it wasn't hard to know what had happened.

"Don't use that excuse in the future when there is no moon."

"..."

Luz knew that he was making fun of her lame excuse last night.

She glared at him. It was because of him that all these were happening!

With her careful care, the wound on Henry's back healed much faster, but he was not the only one who was healing.

As night fell, although the two of them were still a certain distance away from each other on the wooden bed, they were clearly relaxed. He placed his hand on her waist casually and said, "I have already called Lucas. He will come to pick us up tomorrow."

"Tomorrow?"

She should be happy to leave this place and go home to see her son. But somehow, she was a little reluctant. Although there was nothing here, being so far off the beaten track, but she would never forget her time here.

"We can stay for a few more days if you like."

Henry saw the subtle changes on her face. Not only her, but he was also reluctant to leave this place.

Because this was where they could start over.

"No, no need. If we don't go back soon, Logan and grandma will worry."

She quickly shook her head. Unknowingly, half a month had passed. If she continued to stay here, the little fellow might disown her.

Henry tightened his arms slightly. "If you miss this place in the future, we can come and here for a while."

The deep and sexy voice in her ear warmed her heart. If she had not been kidnapped as a hostage by drug dealers, she would not have dared to imagine the possibility of a future between her and Henry.

The next day, before dawn, she heard a buzzing noise outside. Instinctively, she covered her ears and tried to go back to sleep, but the man beside her got up.

"Are they here to pick us up already?"

Henry also frowned. He looked at the dawning light outside unhappily. Lucas was too early.

As soon as Luz got dressed and walked out of the room, she saw Lucas and Mia getting off the helicopter. When she saw that her best friend was safe and sound, she was finally relieved.

Mia ran the few steps between them and gave her a bear hug. "Thank everything good and holy that you're okay!"

"You're fine. Of course, I am too."

Besides, she had family waiting for her. She would grab every glimmer of hope if it meant she could go home to Logan safely.

"Where's Henry?"

Lucas watched as the two best friends hugged each other tightly. He wondered if he should give his friend a hug too.

"He..."

Luz was about to say that Henry had been shot in order to save her, but was interrupted by a cold and domineering voice. "Of course I'm here."

The door was pushed open, and Henry walked out of the room. Although he was just wearing a cotton shirt instead of his usual high-end tailored suits, it didn't affect his noble disposition at all.
