The buzzing sound of the razor was audible in the quiet ward as soon as Veronica turned it on. Wrapping the razor in her delicate fingers, she leaned over to Matthew and carefully shaved his beard.
His eyes were fixed on her as her faint scent lingered in his nostrils. It brought him back to when they were in Bloomstead, where they had first met and fallen in love, which was so very lovely. As Veronica leaned forward a little, a wisp of hair hung playfully on her forehead, adding a bit of mess to her otherwise soft appearance.
Matthew’s heart raced in response. However, he held back the urge to embrace her and instead raised his hand to gently tuck a strand of her hair behind her ear.
She paused slightly as she shaved him, looked up, and met his beautiful eyes. Two pairs of eyes were all that were involved, but they were able to sense the intense love that lay between them.
While maintaining eye contact, they grinned, and the joyful energy spread throughout the space and lingered. They mysteriously experienced a sense of calm at this precise moment.
“All done.” She held the razor as she finished shaving, sat up straight, and turned to face Matthew. “My husband is so good-looking,” she praised sincerely. “Really?” Matthew arched a brow, assuming she didn’t mean it.
“Of course!” “Prove it to me.” “How do you want me to prove it to you?” Veronica shot back. He took the razor in her hand and placed it on the table, wrapped his arms around her waist, and passionately kissed her crimson lips.
He became a little fixated on her lips because they were soft and sweet like lollies and he lightly sucked them with greed while refusing to let go. As he was overcome by his desires, his breathing became heavier.
Veronica noticed the bulge in a specific area of his body and pushed him away. Matt, you are still recovering! Focus on getting better.” If she hadn’t intervened, he would have acted in an unexpected manner despite being hurt.
He put his large hand behind her neck, his voice low and husky. “I want you, Roni.”
Hearing that, Veronica couldn’t help but laugh. She stretched her hand to gently poke his wound. “Hello! Does this not hurt here anymore?”
“It does.”
“Well, control yourself!” “Nothing, not even pain, can hide my need for you.” He chuckled as he said this. Then, he took her hand in his, playing with her fingers, and said, “Since meeting you, my self-control has become very poor. What sort of magical ability did you possess to drive me so crazy?”
“I suppose…”
Veronica intentionally spoke slower while cocking her head and considering the question. She suddenly moved closer to his face which sported a charming and playful smile. “This is just your true self!”
“Huh?” He arched his eyebrows, grabbed her firmly, flipped her over, and pressed her down. ‘I’ll reveal my true self to you now!” Veronica became dizzy at this point, and when her vision cleared, she discovered she was already lying on the bed. Shaking her head, Veronica said, “Stop fooling around. Let’s wait until you get better.”
“The wound isn’t deep, thanks to Mrs. Kings’ mercy. I’m fine!” Matthew pretended to have a serious injury today in front of everyone, but it was all an act with Veronica. After that, to fool everyone, he was transferred to another hospital.
Some of the doctors in this hospital worked for him, so he felt assured to rely on them. Right then, Veronica no longer had the heart to refuse him anymore, so she gave him what he wanted.
Shortly after that, a sound that might make one blush could be heard in the room. As things heated up, the two were savoring each other’s company and losing themselves in one another.
One hour later, Matthew hugged Veronica tightly and stroked her flushed cheek with his broad hand. He leaned over and pecked her forehead. “I wouldn’t be willing to let you go so easily if it weren’t for the fact that you can’t stay for too long.
