Chapter 825 Naturally An Auspicious Day

“It’s better to apply some ointment, lest you end up disfigured.” Prying his hand away, Arissa got up and searched for the ointment. Benjamin’s mouth twitched.

He lay on the bed and watched as she rummaged for a while before revealing, “The ointment is downstairs.” Ugh! You should’ve said that earlier!

Shooting him a glare, Arissa whirled around and left the room. She went downstairs to look for the medical box and took the ointment upstairs.

Then, she sat on the edge of the bed and poured the ointment into her hand before massaging his chin. Benjamin studied her focused expression intently, the corners of his mouth lifting a fraction.

“Are you hoping that I’ll stay wide awake that you’re applying so much ointment on me?”

The ointment was potent, so the smell of it seeped right into his lungs. Arissa threw him a look. “I’m not applying that much, and it’ll all be gone in a while.”

After screwing the cap back, she placed the ointment on the bedside table. Subsequently, she washed her hands before returning.

“Get in.” Benjamin jerked his chin up and motioned for her to climb into bed.

Arissa eyed him for a moment before she complied.

No sooner had she lay down than the man pulled her into his broad arms.
