"Really? !" Nancy frowned. "I was thinking of adding some of these little things to make you feel better."

"It seems worse," Eric pursed his lips and put on the bow button-down underpants he hated so much. "Dr. Nancy, please don't do this again. I feel very helpless."

"All right," Nancy looked at him apologetically, scratching her head in a daze as if she had just thought of it. "Oh, by the way, you're a grown man and a soldier. You probably don't like this style. It's a pity I couldn't find any camouflage pictures. If there were any..."

"I don't like that either," Eric interrupted her. "I just like something simple and normal."

'All right.' Nancy gave him a blank look, and just then she saw Eric struggling to straighten his back, and the majestic masculinity burst into sight. Nancy blushed and let out a scream as she rushed out.

With a frown of confusion, Eric glanced at the door for no reason, and only realized what she was screaming when he lowered his head to put on the trousers that were cut to the size of a diaper.

A slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and Eric blushed as well.

Lying in bed, Nancy couldn't fall asleep at all. The iron frame folding bed creaked as she turned over.

Eric raised his eyebrows and opened his eyes in the darkness, saying, "Do you have bugs on you? !"

A voice with a hint of sternness, as if lecturing subordinates. Nancy stiffened and the folding bed stopped creaking. A second later, Nancy lay flat and there was another creaking.

"......" Turning his face and staring silently at the curtain, Eric's haughty eyes narrowed slightly. "Can't sleep? !"

After a long while, a muffled "um" came from behind the curtain.

"I thought you were asleep," Eric asked again with a silent grin. "Why can't you sleep? !"

"I..." Nancy looked up at the ceiling and shook her head. "Nothing, just sleep."

She wanted to grab someone to make a joke about what was happening to her, but the thought that Eric outside the curtain was just her patient left her speechless.

What could she say? ! Tell him your life is a mess? ! Or complaining about family, relationships, there's always so much trouble? !

Hearing her self-mocking muffled laugh behind the curtain, Eric withdrew his gaze. "My feet, I don't feel much."

'Huh? !" Startled out of bed, Nancy lifted the curtain and ran to Eric's bedside.

Although the light was not turned on, he still saw that her face was full of tension and worry.

In the moonlight that seeped in through the window, Eric looked at her with a light gaze. Her simple white silk nightgown was slightly translucent, blending with her fair skin like a fragrant gardenia, giving off a rich aroma.

"How, do you feel it? !" Nancy reached into the blanket and gently massaged his calf.

The cool touch of the skin, smooth and delicate, Eric took a deep breath and said slowly, "What does it feel like? !"

He knew there was nothing wrong with his leg, but the injury was so severe that it had gone numb from the pain.

The important thing was that he just wanted to talk to her, so that she wouldn't be tossing and turning on the folding bed like a bug dropped into a pan of oil.

"Really not feeling? ! It shouldn't!" Nancy frowned. "I've examined you. There's nothing wrong with the bones, and there's nothing wrong with the positions of your uninjured hands and feet."

After thinking for a moment, Nancy looked at him again with a look of pity. "You... Is it really painful? !"

Nancy hasn't heard a word of pain from him since he was brought in as the chief physician after the operation, no, she hasn't heard a word from him since the first time she saw him on the operating table.

"It's okay," Eric said nonchalantly after a long silence. "I'm a man and this pain is nothing."

Frowning speechlessly, Nancy blurted out subconsciously, "What ideas have you been instilling in yourself? Does a man have to be afraid of pain? ! It's not just an ordinary bump or scratch, but you... '

Nancy couldn't go on. She asked herself that she wouldn't be able to bear such pain, not even daring to think about it.

'What about you? !" Eric raised his eyebrows and looked at her calmly and comically.

Those eyes seemed to have the ability to see everything, and Nancy's side of the face collided straight with his gaze.

Looking away in a panic, Nancy lowered her head, a little sad, "I'm afraid of pain."

"You know that's not what I'm asking," Eric curved his pretty lips. "I'm asking why you can't sleep."

Being questioned by him, Nancy didn't know what to say either. Recalling what Doris had said after going to Peak High School to handle matters for her that night, a bitter feeling welled up in her heart. "Actually, what's at home is not a big deal."

Nancy's flat tone made Eric look at her intently, and he saw clearly that there was a trace of distress on her face, but she didn't say anything.

With a "um", Eric replied, "It's no big deal, just think it over."

Could she come to terms with it? !

May made it clear that she wanted the White family to pay, so she made an excuse to say to Carl that she was going to the class reunion. Doris, without mercy, exposed May's lie in front of her. In fact, she was taking advantage of what she wouldn't tell Carl.

Nancy grinned, not knowing what to say.

Looking at her forlorn expression, Eric somehow reached out his hand and pinched her face. "I'm not a teenage and rebellious kid. How could there be a dead end that can't be found?"

"What about you? !" Nancy asked him, "Apart from Ben and Sam who will contact you, it seems that no one has ever come to see you."

Eric didn't answer.

After a while, Nancy, seeing that he had not answered her, moved closer and saw that he had already closed his eyes.

Eric didn't expect her to do that. He could tell the distance between Nancy's face and his own, breathing evenly mixed with the fragrance.

He gritted his teeth and held his breath, thinking with a hint of annoyance - was this woman confused or really stupid? ! So close to him!

Feeling inexplicably hot, with a sudden burst of flames, he suddenly opened his eyes, reached out and pulled her into his arms...

Nancy fell into Eric's arms, and before she could react, a strong palm had already pinched her jaw, and cold lips were pressed against her trembling red lips...

"Um..." Nancy opened her eyes wide in terror, her hands resting against him.

Her reaction annoyed Eric a little, and with a forceful finger, she opened her mouth wide in pain, her face flushed red.

She slapped him with her hand, but in return, he launched an even more fierce attack. Her heart was beating so fast that she lost her mind under his influence. Her hand loosened, her body softened, and she began to involuntarily fit in with his rhythm...

His body was hotter than usual, and his hand set fire on her, all the way down...
