He worked faster , catch a cold again , and quickly placed her in the bathtub .

Sienna turrowed her e eyes , taking a deep breath .

It wasnt because she was cold that she couldnt stand it was all the external injuries all over her body .

He finally knew why the doctor had kept warning him .

He bowed his head and sincerely apologized , Im sorry .

It wont happen again .

If it ever happens again , he wouldnt be able to forgive himself no need for Howard to intervene .

He reached for the showerhead and told Sienna , Close your eyes and lean back a little .

Ill wash your hair , Sienna wasnt surprised by this .

Ever since that first night at Silver Beach , he had always taken care of her like this after their intimate moments .

At first , it felt weird , but eventually , it became just part of their routine .

She figured it was his way of showing affection .

Who knew how many girlfriends he had washed hair for over the years ? Josiah washed her hair , and when she had soaked enough , he wrapped her in a dry towel and carried her back to the bed .

Then he dried her hair and finally brought out the ointment Whats this ? Sienna frowned , clearly resisting the ointment .

I already said , no medicine 1/2 Chapter 183 This isnt something you take orally .

Josiah replied , thinking she was just nervous about taking any medicine .

The doctor had said her fever wasnt too high , so she didnt need to take anything if she didnt want to .

All she really needed was to drink more water , get plenty of sleep , and see how things went .

Jonah was okay with Sienna skipping the medicine , but she really needed to use the ointment .

He held her wrist , reassuring her gently , You dont need to eat this .

Just apply it to your skin .

Werent you just gasping in pain a moment ago ! If I keep refusing , will it raise his suspicions ? Sienna pondered for a moment and said .

Im feeling a bit thirsty .

Could you please get me some hot milk ? No problem , Josiah agreed immediately .

Til go just after you apply the ointment .

Now ! Siennas patience wore thin , and she was about to lose it .

Still unwell , her cheeks turned slightly red along with her eyes .

Her eyes glisten with tears or ignite with fire , bursting with a lively glow , seemed Josiahs heart pounded , his mouth went dry , and he swallowed hard .

Now , he could promise her anything .

Alright , Im getting you some milk now .

Once he left .

Sienna opened the box , unfolded the instructions , and read them thoroughly safe for pregnant women .

She sighed in relief .

Even if she wasnt pregnant , she was trying .

So she couldnt use medicine randomly.

When Josiah returned with a mug of hot milk , he noticed a faint smell of medicine in the room .

He handed the cup to Sienna and asked .

Did you put the ointment on by yourself ? Yeah .

Sienna said , holding the milk .

It was a bit too hot , so she sipped it slowly .

Josiah , still worried , asked , Did you apply it all over ? Why didnt you wait for me ? Got it all .

Its not hard Sienna finished the milk and handed him the empty cup Taking the cup Josiah asked .

Do you want some soup ? I made pancakes , too .

Want to try one ? Not hungry right now .

I just want to sleep .

Sienna waved him off , looking a bit tired .

As she spoke , she wa was already lying down .

Josiah didnt insist .

Instead , he tucked her in and placed some ice under her arm .

Alright , go ahead and sleep .

Ill be right here .

Just call if you anything Sienna didnt say anything .

She just turned her back to him .
