Melody returned to the master bedroom and finished washing up. Her usually clear eyes held an icy edge.
The memory of Gary’s pitiful apology replayed in her mind, making her chuckle quietly.
It was almost as if all her efforts in the past had been wasted, like throwing food at a stray dog.
After an exhausting day, she changed into a white lace nightgown and curled up in the corner of the bed. Her eyes were closed, but sleep eluded her.
The door to the master bedroom soon opened from the outside.
Edward entered with his long strides. Having only recently recovered, standing for so long had left him feeling weak.
His eyes softened as they landed on the small figure on the bed pretending to sleep. The dark look in his eyes faded, replaced with subtle warmth.
Then he grabbed his robe and headed into the bathroom.
The sound of running water from the bathroom was distracting, making it impossible for Melody to fall asleep.
Her chest felt tight with unease. In her treatment plan, she knew that healing his impotence was harder than treating his legs.
His leg muscles hadn’t deteriorated, and his nerves were still functioning. All it took was regular portable electrotherapy and massage.
She had been too caught up with other things to massage his legs every day and had even shown Bernard how to handle some of the physical therapy.
Her main focus was on his leg problem and the therapy for impotence.
It seemed tonight was the night to test the results.
Melody fidgeted restlessly on the large bed, her thoughts spiraling into what Edward might be doing in the bathroom.
Just when her mind was spinning with different ideas, the bathroom door swung open.

Edward stood not far away, his robe barely tied, revealing a broad chest.

Water still dripped from his short hair, sliding down his collarbone and defined abs, before disappearing into the folds of the loose robe.
Melody swallowed, eyes following the water droplets before they snapped back to his face.
Edward noticed her staring, a subtle hunger in her gaze. A slow, charming smile spread across his face, dimples deepening.
In the silence of the night, the tension in the room felt almost electric.
“Mel, why are you wrapped up like that? Are you waiting for me to unwrap you … and devour you?”
Edward’s voice was teasing, as he used one hand to towel–dry his hair, approaching the bed with an amused glint in his eyes.
As he drew near, his face was inches from hers, illuminated by the soft moonlight spilling in through the window.
His breath lightly brushed against her nose, and a smirk tugged at his lips.
Melody’s cheeks and ears burned red.
Whether in her past or current life, she had little experience with romance and was more of a talker than a doer.
Back when Edward’s condition kept him from doing much, she’d taken advantage and teased. him freely. Now, she wasn’t sure how far along his recovery was.
After all, the flirting had been part of his treatment, and she might’ve overdone it.
Ancient texts claimed that a bit of fiery teasing sped up the healing process!
She realized her habit of bundling herself up made her look like a present, neatly wrapped and ready for Edward.
It was so embarrassing!
Flustered, she buried her face in the blanket like a timid rabbit, softly murmuring, “Edward, do we really need to do this tonight?”
In one swift motion, Edward pulled the blanket into his arms, his warm breath grazing her
neck.
Peeking out from the blanket again, Melody’s voice trembled as she asked him, looking

Her large, bright eyes were soft yet resolute, as she nervously bit her lip, making up her mind.
Her tousled hair framed her flushed cheeks, making her look even more innocent.
Edward chuckled. “Mel, are you that eager to put me to the test?”
Moonlight bathed his features. His lips tinged red as they curled into an intoxicating smile.
Melody, mesmerized by his soft laugh, felt a light shiver run through her.
She suddenly pouted, pulling her head back. “What’s wrong? You don’t want to?
“Come on, old man, stop acting all virtuous.
“You were clearly itching for it earlier. As your doctor, do you think you can escape my treatment, no matter how out of control your energy gets?”
A skilled doctor always knew exactly where to press.
