Chapter 32: Spilled Water

Chapter 32: Spilled Water

Joshua pretended not to hear her, and he calmly turned his head.

Hazel was stunned, and she suddenly couldn’t help but laugh. "Are you terrified of taking medicine?"

Joshua looked gentle and steady, giving her the feeling that he thought he was profound and invincible, but he is actually afraid of taking medicine?

His eyes flashed. "Not afraid, I am annoyed by taking it."

"That's the same." Confirming the assumption in her heart, Hazel laughed louder.

Seeing her laughing and being so happy, Joshua felt somewhat vulnerable.

"If you are sick, you should take medicine. Otherwise, how will you get better?" Hazel smiled and handed the medicine to him. "Nanny Carter told me to make sure you took it."

Joshua's eyebrows lifted. “Have you met Nanny Carter?”

"Yes." She nodded.

"What did she say?"

"You mean Nanny Carter?" Hazel looked at him strangely. "She was very nice, she didn't say anything." Joshua grimaced.

Hazel looked at him, frowning. This guy is not going to shift the topic to avoid taking medicine deliberately, is he?

"Open your mouth, ah," Hazel suddenly said, "Let me see what is going on."

"You can tell?" Joshua smiled.

"My dad is a doctor," Hazel's voice contained a proud tone. "I have been learning about these things since childhood. This is an easy situation, of course, I can handle it."

Joshua was suspicious, but he was still obedient and opened his mouth.

Hazel took the opportunity to throw the pills in his mouth.

Joshua closed his mouth and looked at her, disheartened.

"Do not spit them out, hurry up to swallow them." Hazel handed him a cup.

Joshua took the water cup weakly, but his hand shook, and he could not hold the cup steady. The water in the cup spilled on the sheets and Hazel's chest as it fell to the ground.

"Ah!" Hazel screamed. The water was not hot, but she was startled by it.

Joshua still had not swallowed his medicine. He felt very uncomfortable, and Hazel’s cheeks turned red, but there was nothing he could do to fix this.

He quickly grabbed a tissue from the table next to him and placed it on Hazel's chest to help her wipe the water.

Hazel intuitively wanted to push him away.

"Mr. President, your secretary has a few documents that you need to sign..." Jaxson pushed in and behind him followed Joshua's secretary.

Jaxson raised his head up from the documents he had been reading, he looked at the scene in front of him. What was he seeing? Was Joshua, like a pervert that just reached out and touched Hazel’s chest? And he did this even after Hazel seemed reluctant?

"I didn't see anything! You continue, we will come back later." Jaxson quickly closed the door.

Hazel pushed him away angrily, "It is all your fault!"

Joshua finally swallowed the dry pills and saw Hazel was getting ready to leave. He grabbed her wrist. "You are going to leave like this?"

Hazel looked down at the water stains on her chest. "What do you suggest I do?"

"I have clothes in the closet, you can change into something of mine," he said.

Hazel opened the closet door, she saw rows of men's clothes hanging inside.

"You will let me wear one of these?" Hazel said curiously.

"You find something to put on,” Joshua said. " Then I will get Nanny Carter to dry your clothes."

"Okay." Hazel picked a t-shirt and went into the bathroom.

The t-shirt was too big for her, and the neckband kept slipping from her shoulders.

Hazel thought for a moment and simply pulled the t-shirt below her shoulders and tied the two sleeves in front of her with a simple bow.

It was as if the plain t-shirt had become a beautiful dress. The water also spilled on her pants, so the dress worked out perfectly.

Hazel picked up her pile of wet clothes and walked out of the bathroom.

Joshua's eyes lit up.

"What are you looking at?" Hazel watched him with awareness. "Your clothes are too big. So, I hope it is okay that I am wearing it like this.”

"It doesn't matter, it looks good." He whispered.

"Oh..." Hazel was glad. She thought he would reprimand her for changing his clothes.

There was a knock on the door, and Hazel ran to open it.

Nanny Carter stood outside the door, and she smiled. "Mr. President said that you would like me to dry your clothes.”

Hazel handed her clothes to Nanny Carter. She managed to stutter, "Tha…thank you."

"You are welcome. I know it is Mr. President's fault." Nanny Carter looked at Joshua with blame. "You are still sick, and you don't know how to stop! Can't you wait until you recover? What if you scared Hazel?"

Joshua did not reply, and it was obvious that Nanny Carter had misunderstood what happened.

"Well, your secretary is here," said Nanny Carter. "Do you need me to bring them up?"

"No, I will go down to see them," Joshua whispered.

"Okay." Nanny Carter nodded. "Did he take the medicine?"

"No need to worry, I took it.” Joshua was weak.

Nanny Carter gave Hazel a strange look and praised her without reservation. "Hazel, you are really clever!"

Hazel was a little embarrassed. She obviously used deception, how can this be the answer, though?

Joshua saw that Hazel was following behind Nanny Carter to leave with her. Joshua asked her to stop, "Hazel."

"What?"

"Come and help me get a coat."

"You can't get it by yourself?" Hazel was hesitant.

"I have no strength." He said in a low voice.

"Then you can let them come in..." Although she was reluctant, Hazel went to the closet and helped him pick a suit jacket.

"I don't like other people coming into my room." He said.

Hazel's body was slightly stiff, and she was somewhat embarrassed.

"Except you," Joshua added.

Hazel's cheeks were red, and she threw a coat at Joshua. “Here you go!”

He put on his jacket and got out of bed, but he was still a little unstable.

"I guess I owe you!" Hazel helplessly spat and walked over to help him.

Joshua smiled, and he naturally reached out and grabbed Hazel's shoulder.

Hazel's cheeks were a little redder, but he could see that she could help support his weight. He wasn’t just taking advantage of her, he clearly needed the support, so Hazel didn’t say anything.

They quietly walked downstairs, with Hazel helping Joshua.

Jaxson and Janet Flores, Joshua’s secretary, sat on the sofa in the living room and saw the two coming downstairs together. Jaxson laughed and said that Janet was acting unfriendly about the whole situation.

"Jaxson, don't just look and laugh, go to help Mr. President." Janet said, "Don't make Miss tired."

"Oh, oh." Jaxson hurried forward, and Hazel escaped from Joshua's arms.

Joshua looked at Jaxson deeply as if he had done something wrong. He obviously just wanted to help.

Sitting on the sofa, Janet asked with concern. "Mr. President, are you okay?"

"Small illness, I will be fine after two days," Joshua said.
