Chapter 5: Are you in a lot of pain right now?

At this moment, the hospital room froze in time.

Emily stood with her hands on her abdomen, her posture dignified, her smile unchanging regardless of what the man on the bed did.

How could any normal man resist such temptation? Underneath the blanket, Ethan’s lower abdomen was noticeably raised.

Blair frowned, a flash of anger in her eyes as she strode toward the bed.

Ethan’s head was immobilized, and he watched his sister approach with intense unease swirling in his heart.

What on earth does she want? Any normal woman would either be embarrassed or pretend not to notice such a scene.

What are you doing here?

Stay away!

Ethan roared inwardly, but his lips remained sealed.

He watched helplessly as Blair reached the bed and yanked away the only thing covering his modesty, revealing the stretched fabric of his clothes below.

The hospital gown was quite loose, so even though it was stretched, it wasn’t damaged.T/his chapter is updat/ed by nov(ê(l)biin.c/o/m

After seeing clearly, Blair’s anger turned to confusion. After a moment’s hesitation, she reached out, lifted the edge of the gown, and peered inside.

Ethan’s eyes widened in shock.

My sister, what are you doing?

After Blair inspected the inside of the gown, she withdrew her hand nonchalantly and covered him back up.

When she looked up, Emily was standing beside her, a smile on her face.

The two exchanged glances, falling into silence.

“I know, Blair. You were worried someone was playing a prank, right?” Emily spoke softly, her voice gentle and soothing.

“Yeah.” Blair nodded, then turned her gaze to Ethan. Her eyes were complex, filled with sorrow, pity, and a mix of emotions, her eyes gradually reddening.

Ethan, unable to speak, observed the rich emotions in his usually indifferent sister’s eyes for the first time.

He felt a mix of emotions. His sister, who usually paid him little attention and seemed indifferent, also had a feminine side.

He wanted to say, you don’t need to look at me as if I’m already dead; I’m still salvageable.

Emily gently patted Blair on the back. “Blair, may I have a moment to speak with Ethan?”

Ethan remained silent, hoping that when he could sit up, she would still maintain her previous demeanor.

Emily stood up and said to Blair, “Sorry, I couldn’t be of more help.”

Blair shook her head, escorting her out of the room. They stood at the door of the hospital room.

“Thank you,” Blair suddenly said.

Emily smiled, a hint of sadness in her eyes. “He’s also an important classmate of mine. It feels like it was just recently we were studying together.”

With a sad look in her eyes, Emily gave Blair a simple smile before leaving.

Blair turned back into the room and sat down in the chair Emily had just vacated, her gaze fixed on Ethan.

The room fell into a silent hush.

Ethan looked at his sister, dressed in masculine attire, his eyes moving desperately, hoping for a response.

The task was to touch Aunt’s black stockings to earn 1000 points.

One attribute point enhancement cost 500 points.

That meant three tasks could enhance his stamina to a normal human level of six points.

No matter how he moved his eyes, Blair did not respond, just sitting there, staring at him.

Ethan grew desperate, his eyes bulging as he stared until they reddened.

Blair finally noticed his distress and leaned in to examine his eyes.

Her eyes, as blue as sapphires and similar to Aunt’s in their elongated shape, held a questioning look.

Ethan struggled to move his eyes, his gaze fierce from the effort.

My sister, please understand what I’m trying to say.

At least understand that I have something to say.

Blair’s frown deepened, her focus sharpening. After a silence, she asked, “Are you in a lot of pain right now?”

Ethan was startled. Although it wasn’t what he expected, it was a good start.

“I understand,” Blair said, her brow furrowed. “So you have a crush on Emily, is that your wish? I’ll help you fulfill it.”

Ethan was baffled.
