When There Is Nothing Left But Love

Knowing that he was fuming on the inside, I did not make him angrier anymore. When I returned to the bedroom, he was not around, and I was sure he must have gone to the study.

I then went to wash up in the bathroom. It had anti-slip tiles, so I usually took off my house slippers when I went in.

However, I somehow managed to slip and fall a few steps into the bathroom.

“Ah!” I shrieked in fear.

Bang! The bedroom door burst open to reveal Ashton, panting by the doorway. It seemed like he had rushed over.

When he saw me on the floor, he frowned as he lifted me up into his arms. “Are you hurt?”

“I sprained my ankle.”

He then reached out to pinch my ankle, and I could not help but gasp from the pain. “Ouch!”

“So you know it hurts?” he snarled. “Do you use your eyes to breathe?”

Pouting, I whispered, “How am I to know that the floor is so slippery. Who in their right mind would want to fall?”

He gave me a taunting look. “Who can you blame if you were the one to not watch where you were going?” After a pause, he continued, “What were you about to do?”

“Shower!” Why does he have such a terrible temper?

He placed me gently into the bathtub and filled the tub before coldly saying, “Do you need me to wash you?”
