Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 2256

They were not divorced yet, and Mavis' eagerness to leave them to care for another man would soon have the entire hospital gossiping about their marriage.

A thick cloud of jealousy filled the room.

However, Mavis was not one to be ordered around.

She put on her shoes, saying, "He needs my care."

Nathaniel was taken aback. After all, Evan was not the only one injured.

Did he not need her care too?

When jealousy struck, even simple words took on a different meaning for Nathaniel. He stepped in front of Mavis, blocking her path.

"Give me a bath," he demanded.

"Mr. Nicholls, you can ask a nurse to help you bathe," Mavis replied, barely hiding her annoyance at his commanding tone.

"You know I don't like others touching me."

She was the exception. She was not just anyone.

However, Mavis did not catch his meaning. She was about to leave when she considered his chest wound, which was partly her fault. Besides, the sooner Nathaniel recovered, the sooner she could go to Vraeyce without him holding her back.

She was truly worried about potential issues at the company.

With these thoughts, Mavis conceded, "Fine, I'll help you bathe."

She entered the bathroom to prepare a basin and towel, but before she could fill the basin, she heard the door lock. Just as she turned around, she bumped into Nathaniel's chest.

To her surprise, Nathaniel was nearly naked, with only a towel around his waist. His body was covered in old scars, marring his pale skin in a jarring display.

"Start here," Nathaniel said, noticing her shyness.

He grabbed her hand and guided her movements with the towel.

Mavis felt the bathroom temperature rising, though she was unsure if it was just her imagination.

"Are you feeling hot?" Nathaniel asked, deliberately stepping closer.

They were barely a fist's width apart, their skin almost touching. In the enclosed space, they could clearly hear each other's heartbeats.

"A little. Maybe we should go outside," Mavis suggested, trying to sidestep him without waiting for a response.

However, Nathaniel would not let her escape so easily. He swiftly wrapped his arm around her slender waist.

His lips brushed her ear as he whispered, "If you're feeling warm, why don't we shower together?"
