My Bossy CEO Husband

Wendy went into the bathroom to take a shower.

While she was gone, Ryan decided to have the bed sheet and quilt cover changed again, except this time he didn't do it himself.He called for room service instead.

Once that was done, he walked over to the bathroom door and knocked.

"Wendy, how are you in there? Almost done?"

"Yes, almost."

The calmer tone in her voice eased Ryan's worries.

The bathroom door was frosted, and Wendy's silhouette could be seen faintly from outside.

Ryan suddenly felt hot.He took a deep breath and turned around to sit on the sofa.

Unlocking his phone again, he decided to continue researching about how else to care for women on their periods.

Distracting himself with this gradually calmed him down.

In the bathroom, Wendy let the warm water run all over her body.

The coldness in her body began to evaporate.

However, with the weather getting chilly recently, she knew better not to take too long in the shower.

Once she had washed away all the sweat, she turned off the water and wrapped a towel around her body.

When she stepped out of the shower, she took a wrong step and slipped.

"Ahr" Wendy shouted, finding herself kneeling on the cold, hard tiles in less than a second.

"Ouch!" She groaned loudly.

Wendy began to tear up from the pain.She had fallen down on her knees.

Pain surged all throughout her legs.

‘God! How unlucky I am today!’ She put her hands on the floor to help herself up, but the bathroom door suddenly bust open.

"Wendy!" Ryan's face was filled with concern.

"What happened? Are you okay?"

"I...I just fell down.I'm fine."

Ryan squinted at her and walked over.

"Don't move.Let me help you up." He reached down to help her up.

But because the fall had loosened Wendy's towel around her body, it slipped off as soon as she stood up.
