The sound of Sean's low, melodic voice made Kate blush even more.She bit her lip nervously and
replied, This is a pastry brand I've been eating since I was young, and it's not from Merchant City, so
you wouldn't know it."
With that, she let out an exhale and, out of impulse, wanted to toss the entire box to Sean.However, as
soon as she turned around, she caught sight of his thickly bandaged hands.
Out of instinct, she opened the box once more, tore open another croissant, and then brought it to his
mouth.
"Seeing that you're a relative of my boss' friend, I'll take care of you for the time being."
Sean chuckled when he caught sight of how uncomfortable she was.
"Thank you."
Despite the atmosphere being a little awkward yet laced with amorous disposition, Kate proceeded to
unwrap all the croissants and feed them to Sean one at a time.
Even though Sean had accidentally brushed against Kate's fingers the first time around, he made sure
to take good care not to touch her again.
This finally made Kate's racing heart calm down, and she began to scrutinize this man as she
continued feeding him.He had a tall and lean figure, and his skin was darkly tanned.His sleeves were
rolled up due to his injuries, which exposed his strong, muscular arms that hinted at the figure hidden
underneath his shirt.
Not only that, but the tanned face...was handsome in a roguish, boisterous way.
Kate could not help being reminded of that man...
"Kate?"
Suddenly, a soft woman's voice rang out from the door.
Kate immediately came to and lifted her head in response.
Luke and Gwen were standing at the door, with Luke's arms wrapped protectively around her waist.
Their gazes fell simultaneously on Kate's hand, which was brandishing another croissant next to
Sean's mouth.
Seeing that Kate was staring at her, Gwen smiled and said, "This is the first time I've ever seen you
look after anyone; you look very kind and saintly."
Kate's face blushed scarlet upon hearing this.She quickly drew her hand back tossed the pastry box
aside.
"I—I just took pity on him being sick and decided to tend to him, that's all."
With that, she turned her head away so no one could see her expression.
"Gwen, I think you'd better arrange for some nurses to look after this young man.You guys should know
that I'm not very good at taking care of people."
"You're doing a tremendous job at it."
Gwen strode over, smiling, and shot Kate a gentle glance.
"You're the best we can ever ask for, and we don't need to hire anyone else."
Then, she winked playfully at Sean and added, "What do you think, Sean? Do you want Kate to
continue looking after you, or do you want Luke to help you find some nurses to do the job?"
Sean bit his lip upon hearing this.
He first glanced meaningfully in Kate's direction, then smiled.
"There's no need to go to so much trouble; having her here is enough."
Kate's face flushed an even deeper shade of red.
Gwen patted his shoulder in approval.
"You're a man of good taste.Then, she grabbed hold of Kate's hand and asked, "Shall we go get some
sundries that Sean might need?"
Kate nodded in agreement, then trotted after Gwen, looking as though she could not wait to escape the
room.
Before she stepped out the door, she instinctively turned to glance at the man sitting on the sofa.Sean
grinned at her.
"Be careful."
As soon as she heard this, Kate felt her breath catch in her throat.
