Chapter 56 Wait For Death
“I’m your caregiver. Do you have a problem that I control you?”
After a pause, Celeste added, “Of course, if you don’t want me to control you, then go back to your next door. This way, no matter how much you drink, I won’t be able to control you.”
Marcus opened his mouth. At this moment, he looked very helpless. “You’re really…”
“What?”
Marcus met Celeste’s provocative gaze and ate the steak on his plate. “You’re the first woman who dares to speak to me like this.”
Celeste put down the glass in her hand. “Don’t worry, there will be another woman who dares to speak to you in such a tone in the future.”
“Who?” he asked.
“Your future wife,” she said.
Marcus’s body stiffened, and his expression seemed a little uncomfortable.
He didn’t even have anyone he liked now, so he didn’t know where his future wife was.
Marcus did not speak. Instead, he ate his steak quietly.
After the meal, Celeste drank a large bottle of wine and she began to feel a little drunk.
Her cheeks were red, and her eyes were slightly tipsy. She burped and covered her mouth awkwardly. “I’ll do the dishes.”
Marcus looked at the seemingly drunk Celeste and took the plate from her hand. “Go back to your room and rest. I’ll wash this plate.”
Celeste did not stand on ceremony with Marcus. She hummed and returned to her room under his gaze.
After Celeste returned to her room, Marcus washed the dishes and took his computer to deal with the documents on the sofa in the living room.
Suddenly, a loud bang made Marcus subconsciously look at Celeste’s room.
He put down the computer in his hand, stood up, and went to Celeste’s room to check on her.
As soon as he entered, he saw Celeste sitting on the ground and rubbing her ankle. She had accidentally knocked onto the coffee table and sprained her ankle.
Celeste grimaced in pain. When she tried to stand up, she seemed to be struggling because her knees and ankles were injured at the same time:
When Marcus saw this, he strode forward to pick Celeste up from the ground and placed her on the bed.
He crouched at her feet to examine the damage to her ankles and knees.
“How did you hurt your knee and ankle together?” he asked.
Was this hard to guess?
She twisted her ankle after kneeling on both knees.
Celeste pulled her ankle back from Marcus‘ hand with an uneasy expression. “I fell and ended up like this.”
Marcus raised his eyebrows and asked, “Do you need me to rub it for you?”
Celeste declined politely. “No need. Bring the first aid kit over for me and leave. I can rub my ankle myself.”
Marcus took the first aid kit for her according to her request. Then, under her gaze, he took out the medicinal wine and rubbed her ankle.
Celeste shrank back in pain. “Mr. Hale, I can do it myself.”
Marcus grabbed Celeste’s slender ankle and ordered, “Don’t move.”
Celeste didn’t know what to say.
This was the first time a man had touched her ankle.
This place made her very sensitive.
Celeste’s ears were red. She sat on the bed an Successfully unlocked!
quite good when he was serious.
As Marcus massaged again and again, Celeste let out a moan. “It hurts.” When Marcus heard her sobbing voice, he actually had the urge to do something to her.
Not only was she beautiful, but her voice was also so pleasant to the ears.

Marcus gradually let go of Celeste’s ankle and began to massage her knee.
Looking at her fair skin dyed with a layer of greenish–purple, he suddenly felt that this color was especially irksome.
Marcus‘ rough fingertips rubbed back and forth on Celeste’s legs. Celeste’s entire body felt numb.
Realizing that something was wrong with her, she shyly snatched her leg back and took away the medicinal wine in Marcus‘ hand.
“Mr. Hale, I can massage this knee myself. I won’t trouble you.”
Marcus looked at the faint pink color on Celeste’s face. His Adam’s apple could not help but move.
Then, he tugged at the tie around his neck to relieve the heat in his body.
Celeste sensed that something was wrong with Marcus. She said awkwardly, “Mr. Hale, I’m fine here. You can go out now.”
“Yeah.” Marcus cleared his throat. “Call me if you need anything.”
Celeste nodded and watched Marcus leave.
The moment the door closed, Celeste lay on the bed and muttered, “Celeste, why did you make such a misunderstanding sound just now?”
How embarrassing! How embarrassing! Her face was burning. Celeste took a deep breath and lay on the bed, kicking her legs.
She groaned in pain when her wound was pulled. Afraid that Marcus would hear her, she even covered her mouth.
She couldn’t! Otherwise, Marcus would come in later.
After Marcus left Celeste’s room, he took off his shirt.
He clearly did not drink wine, but why was his body so hot now?
Marcus gripped the clothes in his hand tightly and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
The moment he finished washing up, he suddenly remembered that he could not take a shower for the time being.
The bandages on his body were drenched. If Celeste found out, she would be angry again.
Wait, there seemed to be something wrong. Why did he care if Celeste was angry?
Marcus gave up on rinsing the upper part and directly rinsed the lower part where it raised his head.
Not long after, Marcus finished bathing and was about to take out the ointment to apply it on himself, but he suddenly realized that he did not have the ointment.
Previously, he had been using Celeste’s medicine. He originally thought that since he had applied the medicine for himself, there was no need to look for Celeste anymore.
However, it seemed like he still had to look for her. Marcus put on his pants and went to Celeste’s room to knock on the
door.
Celeste heard the commotion and sat up from the bed. “Come in.”
Marcus pushed the door open and entered.
As soon as he entered the room, Celeste found his wet hair and his still–dry upper body.
The shyness on Celeste’s face instantly turned into anger when she saw Marcus‘ expression.
“Marcus! Didn’t I tell you that you’re not allowed to bathe for the time being? And that you can’t touch water with your wounds. But why won’t you listen to me?”
Marcus was stunned by Celeste’s roar. How could her mood change so easily?
Marcus went to her side and sat down. “It was a little hot just now, so I took a cold shower. After washing up, I realized that
my
wound had touched water. Can you help me bandage it again?”
Celeste was speechless.
He actually washed in cold water!
“Marcus Hale!”
Celeste was so angry that she stood up from the bed and pulled her injured ankle. She sat down again in pain.
“You… You’re really looking for death! I told you if you don’t listen to me, I won’t care about you anymore! Now, I’m officially informing you that I’m not going to be your caregiver anymore. Please go back to your next door and wait for death!!”
