The Devil's Hands

Fiancee??

"May let's go! First thing first, we need to get you to the hospital, I don't want people to think that I abused my fiancee."

"Oh, right! I forget about that, make sense. Ok, then let's go! Which hospital? The saint? Hmm thinking from your point of view, it won't be good if we go there right? People will not only think about that but also see the evidence, though they haven't asked you what happened, you know people speak first ask later. And then rumor getting bigger and bigger until what should be wrong become right because of public opinion."

"Well,  I think you must have a really bad experience with people! Anyway, you are right about one thing, we should not go to The Saint hospital. So where should we go?"

"How about this, I go by myself to the hospital and we meet after that? You don't need to follow me anywhere, we haven't begun the act until I am introduced officially. For your safety I will ask Jacob to follow you first, he is very good at becoming someone's shadow, you won't realize it!"

(this woman is a loner, she likes to do everything alone) "Well, but that's against my principal. I don't leave injured people alone, moreover, she is a woman."

"Don't get me wrong Dr.Liu..."

"It's Liu Fei."

"Yes, Liu Fei! I don't want you to follow me to a hospital since I think all Doctors, Nurses, and Hospitals here must have been familiar with your face, right? So no matter where I go, the rumor that we want to avoid spreading will spread wildly."

"You've got the point there, but still I don't feel okay by sending you alone. Hmmm got it! I forget about the checkup room at the house. We can go there for a check-up, if nothing is broken then you can relax, the tools there will be enough to treat you!"

"A room with full equipment in a house???? Well, I never heard anything like that!"

"Come on, I insist! The sooner we are getting along together the better, right? That will make people believe in our relationship."

"Fine, you are right..."

"Let's go then!"

The house is big and painted in white color, it has a big garden full of flowers everywhere. Well, the house is bigger than the last time. Liu's family surely has become very successful.

"I don't usually go home, I prefer to stay at my apartment since it's near the hospital so it's easier for me to go there if there is an emergency. My mom, who stayed here. She loved the flower. I even didn't want to go home after she died, She was everywhere in the house. She loved to do the decoration of the house. You know the decoration has just completed last year, though we have had this house for 5 years. That's just how she enjoys decorating every room in the house..."

"I am sorry, if this makes you uncomfortable we can go find a hospital and you just need to drop me off there. If you still think it's against your principal, you can wait in the car. I am sure it won't take long, this is just a small injury and some of them have been treated by you right?"

"No, it's okay! I think, I personally want to check up on my fiancee so that I know your health condition. After all, I am a doctor, right? I should know it, in case something happens and I need to answer some questions about that. Well, let's just hope that will never happen okay?"

"Hi, Aunty Xue. This is May Huang my fiancee she has just returned from the US to help me. May, uncle and aunty Xue are the people that my mother trusted for years to take care of the house. There are some other maids and gardeners but they report to uncle and aunty Xue. And they don't live here, they just come in the morning and go home in the evening."

"Good evening, Miss Huang! Dr. Liu has mentioned your coming last week, we have been waiting for you! You know since Prof.Liu died... this house is very quiet. I am sure she would be happy if she knew Dr.Liu has had a fiancee, she loved little children very much. She sometimes talked that she couldn't wait to have a lot of grandchildren, she even had imagined how the room looks like."

(May's is blushing) "Aunty Xue, first please just call me May. And we have just engaged, we haven't thought about marriage so soon, right Liu Fei? "

(hey she is very cute when she is blushing, I wonder what else can make her blushing like that, Liu Fei thought) "Aunty Xue, May has just arrived please don't make her uncomfortable. As you see, she has just had an accident. A bicycle hit her while she was trying to save a little kid."

"Oh, how noble of you Miss May! Poor you, that must be hurt!"

"It's May aunty! and Don't worry! It is not hurt that much!  I like playing with boys since I was a little girl. So getting hurt like this is every day!"

"I am sorry Miss May, I make you standing too long. Let's get inside so you can get some rest! What can I make you? A hot tea or coffee and some snacks?"

"I am good now, aunty Xue. But I need to change my clothes."

"Oh, okay let me take you to the room I have prepared as Dr.Liu's requested. It is next to Dr.Liu's room and has a connecting door (wink her eyes)."

(whispering)"Next to your room with a connecting door, what do you want her to think?"

"You are my fiancee, after all, doing one or two things is okay, besides it will make you easier to protect me right?" (Liu Fei responds by whispering to May's ear)

"Here you are Miss May, please take your time and rest. I will prepare for dinner, is 8 o'clock all right Sir?"

"Yes, aunty Xue. It will be perfect!"

"So, how long will you need to change? Will 10 minutes be enough? I will wait in my room, then we go to the check-up room."

"Okay" (hmm hopefully...)

10 minutes later...

Liu Fei enter from the connecting door and surprise to see May's is struggling to take off the clothes

"May I forgot to tell you better use...Oh, why don't you tell me! That must be hurt so much! Let me help you, don't hesitate I am a doctor anyway. I have seen a naked body more than hundreds of times. Look at the sweat, it hurts so bad, right? Why don't you ask for help?"

"Please don't make it a big deal, doc! I mean Liu Fei. I can endure the pain, but the human body is not working as you want. I think because of the bruise here that has swollen, it makes me hard to raise my hand."

"Of course, Any man will say that it hurts, moreover you are a woman!"

"Liu Fei, could you please don't use gender to me? I am no woman okay, I can beat 10 adults at a time if needed."

(gosh, this girl must have gone through so much. Look at the body. that must be from bullets,  and how did she get those scars?) "Okay, let me help you, with that. Which clothes will you use?"

"Please pick a loose T-shirt, so it will be easier and comfortable for me. And if you don't mind I think I will skip dinner. Don't worry if something happens like bad people come here and threaten you, I can still protect you!"

"I believe you, but still you will need to eat something because you have to drink some medicine to help you through the night, otherwise the pain will be unbearable later."

"Will the medicine make me drowsy? If it is, I prefer not to take it. I have to be alert all the time."

"We will discuss that later, Is this T-shirt okay?"

"Yes, I think so... (why is he still standing right there?!!) Dr.Liu...I mean Liu Fei..."

"Yes?"

"Could you please go back to your room? I need to change..."

"I think I have told you I will help you, you even can't raise your arms right?"

"Huh?! Oh..."

"Now, let me help you..."

Liu Fei sits in front of  May, he starts lifting May's shirt up but May keep holding it down. The redness starts spreading on May's face. 

(Stop it May! He is just like other men who are in the training camp! He is another man who you need to cooperate with! God...)

"May...Let go, I need to do a whole body check on you. I am a doctor, I won't do or think any other thing, you are my patient. Now...let go..."

"Oh...(May slowly let her hands go)"

When the shirt is off finally, Liu Fei starts checking the bruised area. It's not only on her stomach but also on her shoulder and arm. When Liu Fei starts checking on it May tries so hard not to look at Liu Fei's face that is so near. She tries to look away, anywhere is better than look at his face. But the 10 minutes Liu Fei uses to check on May seem so long, May's eyes slowly going back to Liu Fei's face.

His eyebrow has become thicker than the last time she saw it, it makes him more manly. His nose, eyes, and lip still give people a serious impression, a cold impression as if all the problems in this world will be his. But if you look at his eyes from this close there is a warm feel, it proves that he is a good person.

"Okay if you are done checking my face, we will go to the examination room. (Liu Fei look at May's face and their eyes meet) Hmm... Don't you think we have met before? I feel something familiar..."

"Huh? Oh... I am ready to go to the examination room. Let's go...(Fei gege it's  me Xia Lin, but you mustn't remember me, knowing me will bring you danger.)"

"Okay let's go...(she doesn't hear my question or she avoid it?)"

(Oh What a room, all types of equipment are here!)

"Are you bringing the hospital here? or Is it many people come here to be treated?"

"Haha... No, it's just a hobby you know. Like a teacher likes to collect books, a mechanic likes to collect tools. It just for precaution when it's needed, like now! What do you like to collect May? What is your hobby?"

(Me? I like flying Fei Gege just like before) "Me? well, I don't have any hobby, I don't have time to do that. How about collecting wounds? Haha..."

"Don't joke like that May, why do you choose this dangerous job?"

"Dangerous? I just keeping someone safe, we usually work in a team, because no many women working in this field, I often protected by my team. They like giving me an easy task, like protecting a rich girl or even a celebrity. (I think that is a bodyguard job right?? More or less..)"

"Really? but your skill when you catch that thief doesn't show you are a spoiled bodyguard and those wounds..."

"Ahh, these...haha (laugh awkwardly) like I said I just love collecting wounds so those guys will think highly of me."

"You mean you have to get those wounds so to make them impress? That's unbelievable, why would a person wants to hurt herself just to impress. (Liu Fei shaking his head) This wound is from a bullet, right? (touching a bullet scar on May's chest) It's near your heart, it must really hurt and take a long time to heal."

(Avoiding the touch) "This is not as bad as you think, The bullet was only a little one, the recovery was very fast. (yeah 1-month bed rest and  2 months desk job, and after that doing a lot of tests to be back to a field agent)"

"Really? Who is the doctor, I have to make him my teacher? If me who operated on you, you should be at least 1-month bed rest and 2 months doing anything that doesn't need too much physical activity."

(Bingo!! You are a great doctor!) "Haha, you must love your patient so much so you take extra treatment than any other doctor (quick brain find an excuse, and stop sweating May!)."

"I don't think so, that is a standard treatment."

"Haha, all right I believe in you Liu Fei, can we start now? I start feeling tired."

"All right, let's begin."

Liu Fei began examining May. X-ray...ultrasound...

"Well, Lucky you nothing has broken. so after a couple of days, it will be okay. For 1 or 2 days you will feel stiff everywhere, and you will need my help to change clothes and other activities that need you to raise your hands. So please try learning to ask me for help okay?"

"Fine..."

"And the medicine I insist you should take it. If you worry about my safety, which I doubt that the bad guys will come so soon, I will sleep next to you so you will know if someone tries to kill me. I think this arrangement is not bad either since I also need to check your condition from time to time."

"Now let's get you back to the room, and I will bring you something simple to eat and also the medicine."

While Liu Fei is going, May is looking for a way out not to sleep in a bed with him.

(Hey, I used to sleep with everyone in the training camp, we never differentiate a woman and a man. I am even ready to have s*x if needed in an undercover mission. But this... why do I feel uneasy? What should I do? I should act nothing special right?! I should treat him like a thing to protect. Yes, that's right, just because I knew him, doesn't mean I can't treat him the same as people I have protected before. After all, you are a secret agent May. You should remember having a relationship will make people in danger. You will vanish from his life when this mission is completed. And that can be less than a year or even a month!)

Liu Fei bring some food, looks like he moves the dinner to May's room

"Hey, I was going to bring you a simple meal. But Aunty Xue told me and also has prepared "The meals for injured woman" that's what she called this. So let's appreciate her efforts and enjoy it. I promise you, you will feel a lot better after eating Aunty Xue's cooking. She cooks better than any other restaurant (wink)"

(Is it better than Chef ??, Fei gege?) "Wow, okay. I don't think anyone can resist those foods!"

After dinner...

"So... the food is really really delicious! I think I can sleep well tonight, no need for you to check on me. Besides this is just a small wound, you have seen my body, right? I have  experienced worse than this..." (please please say yes..)

"Also When I sleep, I will move around, you know I have some kung fu, right? If I kicked you in my sleep, It will surely hurt!"

"Hmmm (thinking) May you know we are now Fiancee, right? The faster we got used to each other the better. We need to convince people that we are engaged. Don't worry I am a doctor, I will treat you as a patient and won't do anything to you."

"As for your bad habit of sleeping, we'll deal with that later. I will move when I can't stand it, or when I think you are okay."

"Let's go to sleep, other things should be discussed tomorrow. I have taken a week off, to give us time to know each other, also I told people that I am taking care of my fiancee who has just come to this country."

"Mom... mom... where is daddy? Please don't mad at him anymore, let's find him, mom...

Mom..mom... I promise you I will be a good daughter please come back, I don't want to be alone. "

"May... May... Wake up! (put his hand to her forehead) she has a fever... May wake up, you must drink this medicine, otherwise, I have to inject you."

May open her eyes, but it looks very blurry. "Dad... Is that you? Where have you been?"

"May this is Liu Fei, you need to take this medicine, be good open your mouth okay?"

May open her mouth and drink the medicine."Ugh, it's bitter! Dad you know I don't like medicine, it doesn't taste good."

"Good medicine should taste bitter, May..."

In the morning...

Liu Fei, looking at May's face while thinking... What has happened to this girl? She is this little yet the wounds on her body that much. I don't know why I just feel familiar with her, but looking at the data they sent me, we should have never met anywhere. Weird.. this feeling...

May start opening her eyes and surprised to see Liu Fei staring so close to her...

"Wow... Liu Fei, I must do something bad last night, your eyes tell me that you don't have enough sleep last night. I am so sorry I have warned you right?"

"Come let's wash your face and come down to eat breakfast. We have a lot of things to do today. Let me help you, your body must be sore. Last night you have a fever, do you feel dizzy now?"

"Don't worry Liu Fei, I can do it myself!" (try getting up alone but fall down). s**t, what happens this is just a little wound, this should be nothing.

Liu Fei tries helping May... But May get away from Liu Fei's hand. 

"May, you know we have to get used to this right?"

"To what?"

"Touching each other and helping each other."

"Oh yes, fine. Sorry I have not entered the fiancee mode. Now let's do it! "(actually it feels nice to have someone when I am sick, and he is a doctor after all!)

"Aunty Xue you really are spoiling me, this food is beautiful and delicious! I wonder why don't you open your own restaurant?"

"Ohh thank you, Miss May, I am glad you like the food. Eat a lot then, you are too skinny for a woman. You know a woman should not be too skinny so that she can have a lot of children (wink her eye) This house needs a lot of children so it will become more lively."And let me tell you a secret Miss May, Dr. Liu has never brought any woman here before, so when I saw you yesterday I feel very happy. I took care of him since he was 5 years old. Anything you need to know about him just ask..."

"Excuse me, ladies, what are you talking about just now? Sound interesting..."

"Huh?! (surprised and blushing) Nothing, which part did you listen to, that you find interesting?"

"Please enjoy the breakfast, Dr.Liu...(aunty Xue walk past Dr.Liu and whisper) I like her a lot but she is too skinny." (wink her eyes)

"So what do you want to do today? (sit on the chair and grab some slices of bread) Actually, I have already written a list to do, do you want to see it?"

"Yes please, by the way, what did Aunty Xue whisper to you just now?"

"Oh, that... is... a secret haha..."

Frowning and reading the list...

1. Shopping

"What kind of shopping? is this? Grocery shopping, shouldn't we take Aunty Xue to do this? she is the one who knows what to buy."

"We need to buy you some clothes, I have seen the clothes you bring. It's definitely not enough to be my fiancee. I want to buy a few dresses for you, I often invited to a charity event, party, etc."

"They did invite you?! I thought a doctor should just stay at the hospital, checking on the patient, cure them, inject them or something like that. "(whisper to Liu Fei)" If I know I need to wear those dresses I should refuse this from the start. My limit in the clothes I am wearing is a skirt like yesterday, and it should only be worn once in a month I think". 

"Hmmm, I think it's too late to avoid that right? I always want to buy some dresses for my woman, and I haven't been able to do that since I still haven't found the woman, until now... "(smiling wickedly)

(Take out the handphone and start dialing) "Jake, tell the boss he should find a backup plan. I refuse to wear those fancy clothes and being seen in public in those dresses."

"Wow, Big sis stay calm! What is this all about?"

(take the handphone from May's hand) "Hi, Jake! This is Liu Fei. How are you?"

"Fine, what happens there Dr.Liu?"

"Nothing, don't worry! We just have our first couple's quarrel, haha... And I enjoy it!"

"Well, glad if you enjoy it, but.. you should be careful Dr.Liu. Big Sis is not someone you should mess up with. She is fierce, hahaha"

"Got it, Jake! don't worry about it! She has stuck with me anyway..."

"Fine (take a deep breath..) what is next?"

2. Learn to dance and yoga

"Dance and Yoga?? What the hell is going on?"

"Don't get mad first, this activity involved physical contact which will help us get along a couple. Wait... I haven't finished talking. It's also needed in some event where we should dance as a couple, and maybe sometimes we should be seen in a gym doing a couple's yoga (smiling)"

"I think you take this relationship too serious, and I should remind you I am here to protect you okay? That's the main job, being a fiancee is just a cover. Don't switch them!"

"Shhh... Lower your voice or Aunty Xue will hear us and if she knows about this...She likes you, it will make her sad if she knows we are only pretending. After all, I've already considered her as my Godmother, please let her happy (wink his eyes)..."

"Oh, God... How am I involved in this situation???"

"Fine...what is next?"

3. Do what a couple do...

"And what are they?"

"Watching movies, dating, walking holding hands, you should know those things... You are a grown-up woman after all"

"No, I don't know and I should remind you that we shouldn't be in public too often. Public places will be too dangerous for you. So keep it as minimum as possible. I think enough about attending some events to make people think that we are a real couple. Other than that we should be at home or the hospital. Is that clear?"

"The list can be added anytime is needed we just need to get used to each other okay? Now let's go, since your body still hurts is will not be comfortable for you to try clothes. How about we go dating?"

"Dating? what kind of dating? Don't you think it will be better if we just stay at home..."

"Stay at home and cuddle? hmm not a bad idea (smirking)"

"Liu Fei tries to be more serious, I think it's better if we avoid the crowd the fewer people who know about this relationship the better right?"

"But I haven't had any holiday for almost 5 years, and I always want to do what the ordinary couple does. Since we are just pretending, I don't need to be afraid to get attached to you. I am someone who is afraid of commitment you know, I don't believe in that thing called love.  My mom and my dad only see each other when my dad has time to spend with me, even that only to say hi, how are you, don't forget to send Liu Fei home on time he has homework. Don't misunderstand me, I love my mom and dad and I do believe they love me but the relationship is nothing but status in a piece of paper I think. "

"But sometimes I like to know how those couples can enjoy dating like that, are they enjoying or just pretending. You know I like experimenting with anything. So when I found out that my bodyguard will pretend to be my fiancee, I feel excited. After my mom died I just feel lonely, no one to be pleased..."

"So what are you trying to say by telling me that? Try convincing me to go dating with you? Sorry, I still have to refuse, I need to get familiar with this house so I know what to do when something happens. Do you have the blueprint? And I also remember you saying about the apartment, we need to go there too. I should look at the environment and discuss with Jacob and Jorel how to protect you."

"Fine, I agree with you this time we should stay at home for a day or two since your wounds haven't healed yet. We also need to get to know each other. Let's go to my working space, we will have more privacy there."

May is following Liu Fei to the second floor, but suddenly before she climbs up the stair Liu Fei stops and holds her hand. May is startled that she loses her balance and Liu Fei hurriedly holds her up.

"What are you doing just now? Why stops at the stair?"

"I forget about your wounds, you need help to climb the stair so the wounds will not re-opened."

"Oh, come on! It's not that bad, I once have a gunshot on my chest and no one to help me, but look I am okay now, right?"

Liu Fei is surprised hearing May's experience, he promises to himself as long as he is there this woman will not be alone when she is hurt.

"May...I am a doctor and I am here. So let me treat you, okay?" Liu Fei says softly.

"..." May is speechless.

Then Liu Fei helps May climbing the stairs one by one until they arrived at his working space. 

The working space is mostly decorated in a wooden style so manly. Some medical books are arranged neatly on the bookshelf, some just piled on the table. A comfortable grey sofa has been put near the window, and you can see the flower garden from that window.  Liu Fei leads May to that sofa and arranges some pillows to support May's back.

(What the hell...He is just a doctor treating his patient now May, don't overreact!)

"Are you comfortable enough May? Do you feel any pain?"

"Huh? Oh...I am fine..."

Liu Fei gets some paper on his desk and sits beside May.

"This is the data about you that Mr.Xi sent me, I need to ask some questions to get to know you better."

"Okay, what do you want to know Liu Fei?"

"Is this data real? Or is it made up only for this case?"

"Hmm...you..can say so... Don't worry whether it is made up or not it is me now, Nobody will doubt that."

"Well... I mean since we both will live together from now on, I think we at least should know each other favorite things, habits, maybe allergies and etc. What I wrote in the data that I sent to Mr.Xi is all real..."

"I get what you want to say, and I suggest that you believe in everything that has been written there, I wrote it by myself. I wrote everything you need to know about May the Fiancee, you won't have any trouble explaining about me and if someone tries to check on me, they will find it exactly as I wrote, Don't worry!"

"I see...but may I know what is the story of those scars on your body? if one day, though I hope that day won't happen, that you get into trouble and need treatment in the hospital when I am not around...the doctor who treats you will ask me about that..."

"Don't worry, it won't happen! I have a backup team if something happens they know where they should take me. Liu Fei, I will try to finish this case as soon as possible. And you will get your life back to normal like I never exist, I will make sure that we will never run into each other anymore." May said it while looking at Liu Fei's eyes.

"Oh..."(it's ridiculous I just know her for 2 days but hearing her said she will disappear from my life why my heart is in pain?!) 

(Heart what the hell are you doing? Why do you feel sad after saying the reality May? It's just what always happens in each case you are in, you will disappear after that. )

After an awkward silence...

"Liu Fei, I need the blueprint of this house and the apartment. Do you plan to stay in this house until the case solved or not?"

"What is your suggestion?"

"In each case that contains death treat, I usually limit the people around the target so it will be easier for me to protect. Sometimes the people that connected to the target, will be used by the murderer to get to the target. So I prefer we live in the apartment only both of us until the case solved."

"I see...how about if we leave this house after you are healed, everything we need to treat your wounds are complete here. And I don't want Aunty Xue to feel sad."

"Okay deal, we will live at this house until you get back to work. Give me the blueprint, I will discuss it with the twins."

A couple of hours later...

"Yes, we have agreed to stay here for a week, and then we move to the apartment. Can you find the blueprint for the apartment and check what we have to add to tighten the security?"

(knocking on the door)"May... Are you sleeping? You need to take the medicine..."

May opens the door and gives Liu Fei a signal to wait for a minute, she will finish talking on the phone in a minute.

"Yes...Jake...I agree with you...No, I will make sure we don't go out very often. So yes you can go prepare the equipment there, as we discussed before. Okay, thanks..."

"You haven't rested since this morning, have you? Don't you feel any pain?"

"Pain has become my friend since a long time ago (May said it smiling), so what can I do for you, Liu Fei?"

"Your medicine, and I hope you get a little rest until dinner time."

May take the medicine and drink it, "Thank you doc!"

"Good girl, now lay down and have some rest. I will call you when dinner is ready."

"Okay..."

May tries to sleep but she feels uncomfortable, she hasn't taken a shower since yesterday. She can't do it alone because she can't raise her arms, and she doesn't want Liu Fei to help her. 

"Maybe I can do it by myself now...No problem, just give it a try..."

She goes to the bathroom and tries to take off the clothes suddenly feel so much pain in her stomach. She starts sweating a lot and feels dizzy. She hurriedly sits on the floor of the bathroom and leans against the wall.

"Easy...May...This is just a normal reaction when the body feels so much pain and to make matter worse I haven't fully recovered from the last wounds. I just need to take a rest for a while." 

May think she just needs to close her eyes for a second, but she didn't realize that she passed out.

"May is dinner time..." Liu Fei calls May several times but no answer. He begins to worry but doesn't want Aunty Xue to come upstairs, he picks the key for the connecting door and opens it. He looks for her on the bed but sees the bed is empty and he sees the bathroom door open a little bit. He hurriedly goes inside there and finds May is laying on the floor, her lips have become a little bit blue. He picks her up and takes her to the bed. puts some blanket on her to get her warm. "May...May...wakes up..."

Liu Fei hurriedly gets the towel and soak it in the warm water, he put it on May's cold face. (Her face is like ice, how long has she passed out? Why didn't she call me, God this stubbornness has gotten into me. After she wakes up,  I surely will give her enough lesson to remember!)

Slowly May's face begins to be back to her normal color, she slowly regains her consciousness and opens her eyes. She was so startled to see Liu Fei's angry face just 10 cm from her. "What...?" May said nervously (I never feel nervous in any situation, that is my main strength to make my opponent loses his control, but what happens now?)

"I clearly remembered telling you to ask for help, if you need anything that needs some movement. But what have you done there in the bathroom? How long have you been there? If I come in when you have woken up, I bet you will never tell me that you have passed out in the bathroom, right?"

"Haha... well maybe... You are really good at reading people, you know? You can use that expertise to get a lot of money." May tries to humor Liu Fei. 

 "That is not funny at all, it's the worst joke I have ever heard.  A doctor will never joke about someone's health."

"Fine...I am sorry I just thought I was strong enough to take a shower by myself, I feel itchy all over my body because I haven't taken a bath since yesterday. You know I sweat a lot yesterday, running, fighting, and enduring the wounds. And I don't like...someone sees me naked especially when there are a lot of scars " May's voice almost can't be heard when she said the last part, she feels shy.

"As I have told you before, we are engaged whether it's real or not but that our status now.  And you are my patient, so you don't need to feel shy. Now if you don't feel dizzy anymore, let me help you take a shower."

"Huh?!..."

"Don't you said your body feels itchy?"

"Yes...but..."

"No arguing, come I help you take off your clothes and I will carry you to the bathroom."

"Come on, if you refuse my help I predict you will never take a shower until the next 2 or 3 days! That wound on your stomach and your arm will need that long time to heal."

Imagining she still has to stay dirty that long makes her upset, it's not the first time she has to skip the shower for a couple of days. Sometimes in her task, she has to hide in the forest for days, but that's different, nobody is around the last thing she has to worry about is her smell. This time she has to live with some strangers and some of them don't know about her real identity.

"All right...No need to carry me to the bathroom I still can walk."

Liu Fei helps May gets to the bathroom, they walk in silence.

"Come, raise your arm slowly when it hurts then stop. I will find another way to take your clothes off, remember don't try to push it! or it will get a longer time to heal."

May hesitantly obeys Liu Fei's command. This is her hardest challenge so far in life, she will choose to get head to head with a gun than being here naked and watched by Liu Fei. Luckily he didn't know about her real identity, so after this, she could easily disappear.

After takes May's clothes off, Liu Fei slowly cleans her body. He warns himself, this is just another patient's body. (God why is this so hard? I have treated so many patients, even celebrity who is prettier and sexier than her but never had any emotion involved. But why he feels passionate about her and at the same time he feels sad to see the scars and how skinny her body is.)
