Chapter 959
As soon as Trevor moved his hand, Victoria suddenly bent down and grabbed his wrist, shaking her head and saying, "No!"
Due to her injury and the operation, her legs and feet couldn't get in touch with water, so they had not been wiped for a long time. Regardless of whether they were dirty or not, only she knew how unpleasant they were.
Very reluctantly, Victoria even curled up her slightly exposed toes.
When he saw the obvious reaction from her feet's movement, Trevor felt warmth surging from the bottom of his heart.
"No, I'll do it myself!" Victoria said.
The doctor said that her legs were allowed to be in touch with water, and even suggested her to take more foot baths in the future to promote blood circulation in order to speed up the healing. She had asked the servants to prepare everything, but she had never intended to get anyone else to do it for her!
Victoria felt that only she would not detest her own body and filth. She would have to take care of her own legs and feet!
"Sit down!" Trevor said.
Trevor pushed her back, and began to unwrap her bandages lightly as he said,
"I've seen every part of your body, no matter good or bad, pretty or ugly."
Trevor paused for a second and looked up at her before he said,
"We're married. We should not only just look at the most beautiful parts of each other, but we should also be able to accept the worst of each other. No matter how you look like, you are still you! In front of me, you don't need to hide or pretend!"
As he loosened the bandages slowly, their eyes looked at each other from time to time. Pursing her lips, Victoria whispered, "However, I want to leave a good impression on you. I don't want you to see such a terrible image... maybe you will feel disgusted or sick!"
What if the sight of any side effects on her made him hate her?
Trevor smiled faintly and said,
"It's normal for people to have this kind of feeling when facing bad things, but it's my duty to try to accept it and eventually be able to do so. Just like when I heard that your legs might be amputated, I felt regretful and sad, but I also have to accept the reality and adapt to all of these! Vicky, there is no perfect human in this world. Since we have chosen each other, we should fulfil our commitment to each other, right? I am working hard!"
Marriage was not just a piece of paper, but also a wall that was built together, and a real responsibility. Since he chose to enter into it, he had to take the responsibility, no matter whether it was for better or for worse!
Victoria nodded and smiled, and the tension on her body faded away. She said, "I will also work hard!"
As the white bandages were removed, a swollen foot covered in dark cracked skin was revealed, and it was also slightly swollen due to the edema. It was not pleasant to look at, but it was not very ugly either.
After testing the water temperature, Trevor then said,
"Don't rush it, and don't force it. I'll slowly put it down and let you feel the temperature first. Don't worry. Try not to move too much. Remember to tell me whether it's too hot or too cold!"
Holding her foot, Trevor sprinkled a little water on it and let her feel the temperature. Then, he put her heel slowly into the water first.
"Oww... It's hot, it's a little hot!" Victoria cried.
"Can you bear it? Foot baths need to be a little bit on the hotter side!" Trevor said.
As they spoke, Trevor added a little cold water and slowly lowered her foot into the clear water, letting it soak in it. Victoria let out a relieved sigh as Trevor continued to sit by her side and talked with her for a while, and helped her to add some hot water from time to time.
Victoria's feet jolted involuntarily and she turned her head away instinctively. She stuck out her tongue and asked, "Wow... why would it be like this?"
Her feet jolted unexpectedly and almost splashed the water to her face!
Trevor took a tissue to help her wipe the water on her hand, and explained,
"The doctor told me that when the nerves are stimulated, they will have reflexive jolting reactions, and sometimes they will also jolt suddenly when you are sleeping. This is a sign of recovery. If you could feel it and if you could control your feet, that would mean that they are unimpeded, and that is the best situation..."
"All right..." Victoria said.
She curled her toes cutely and tried to feel around. Then, they looked at each other and smiled.
After soaking her feet for more than 20 minutes,
Trevor squatted down and wanted to wash her feet, but Victoria said again,
"I want milk tea. Can you make some for me?"
Looking at the dirt between her toes and the murky water, Victoria didn't want him do that even though she was touched. "Okay..." Trevor said.
After seeing the servant bring in some hot water, Trevor turned around and walked towards the pantry.
Victoria bent down quickly, and rubbed the dead skin off her feet. Seeing the water turned dark gray and murky instantly, she couldn't help but felt disgusted.
Oh God, how thick was the dead skin? No wonder they had grown twice as large as before!
After removing the thick dead skin and dirt, her pretty little feet were back to their fair and tender appearance.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
When Trevor brought back the milk tea, he immediately understood her intentions earlier. He glanced at her with slight dissatisfaction and then ordered the servant to remove the water, and said,
"You're again not listening to me!"
After changing another wooden tub for her, Trevor trimmed her toenails that had slightly thickened.
He cleaned them up and washed her feet with clean water again. Then, he prepared the medicine and let her soak her feet in it.
Her whole body felt warm, and the gentle force on her feet faded away. She rubbed her feet again unconsciously and exclaimed happily, "It's so comfortable! Hehe..."
It was hard to imagine that a man like Trevor would be willing to lower himself for a woman. Once again, Victoria was deeply attracted to the handsome man in front of her!
"It feels like I can exert some strengths now!" Victoria said.
She exerted some force on her feet. Clearly feeling her own strength made her blush excitedly.
"Don't push it!" Trevor said.
Afraid that she would move around dangerously, Trevor held her shoulders down and said, "Don't ever stand up on your own. Do you understand? Better safe than sorry!"
If her condition relapsed again, the pain she would have to endure would be even greater!
"All right, I know! I won't be stubborn and make you worry! I'll just use a wheelchair if the doctor doesn't allow me to walk after I get examined!"
She had to make sure that she could stand up properly without any risk! She wanted to stand by his side and watch the sunset together instead of being the burden on his back!
It was a very comfortable night, and
she was physically and mentally relaxed. Soon, she felt tired and felk asleep in a daze. In the middle of the
night when she woke up again the
Trevor was lying beside her with some documents in his hands. His slight snores sounded like wonderful music from the heavens.
Gently reaching out, Victoria took the pen and paper from his hands, placed them neatly between the two pillows and slowly covered him with the
quilt.
It was really not easy for men! With greater power came greater responsibility, just like Trevor!
Fluttering her long eyelashes,
Victoria suddenly felt that her life
seemed to have gone back on the
right track. Her future was again within reach, just like she had anticipated...
