Lily stared at the man currently in her room, lying on the bed that she had been sleeping on for the past few days.
All of the main guild members had their rooms upstairs on the top floors of the hotel, and they hadn't yet returned from the hunting trip.
So Lily had to bring the big boss over to her room to rest. It was not like she could drag him by herself all the way over to the penthouse suite, and the person seemed in desperate need of some rest.
Considering all of these, she did not hesitate and immediately brought Liam over to her room to make him comfortable, but now she was feeling very embarrassed.
She hadn't even gotten around to changing the sheets yet. The bed was probably smelling like her. Or worse, it was probably stinky?
Lily's mind was racing, and her thoughts were all over the place, but when she looked at the person's body and saw all the wounds, she quickly snapped out of it and scolded her naivete.
The person was injured. She needed to help him apply some first aid instead of foolishly standing around. She nervously adjusted her glasses and took a deep breath.
She then hurriedly rushed out and brought all the supplies that she needed. She personally did not have any experience in this field, but she had watched plenty of people do the same both before and after the world had changed.
Since not many people were around at the moment, she decided to do whatever she could to help him for now. At the very least, clean the wounds so they can heal faster.
She arranged everything near Liam and then, with a gulp, started removing the wet, sticky clothes from his body.
Lily gasped lightly as she could immediately see the lean, taut muscles that were hidden under the shirt. Even if it was currently riddled with numerous injuries, she had never laid eyes on a more perfect body.
She did not know why, but she felt very nervous, and her face heated up. Her hands were shaking.
She had been around attractive men before. However, the person right now in front of her was completely different. He exuded a different kind of charm. Perhaps this was the allure of a strong man.
In a world like this, the man was strong, powerful, and dependable, perhaps even indomitable. Who wouldn't feel attracted to someone like him? She let out a sigh and calmed herself first. She then bent down to finally start.
Lily had barely placed her hand when the door of the suite banged open. "Is he back?" Alex rushed in, shouting at the top of her lungs. Right behind her, Mei Mei, Shen Yue, Rey, Shin Soo, and a few others were standing.
Lily suddenly felt like a thief who had been caught stealing. Ah… She stared at the group with her lips parted.
Luckily for her, no one paid any attention to her. Everyone only saw Liam and Luna sprawled messily on the bed, and they rushed in to check on the duo.
"Is he alright? Is he hurt?" Mei Mei worriedly looked.
"Liam! Liam! What happened? Did you fight against someone dangerous?" Alex was not so gentle and started rolling him around to check just how severely he was injured.
The others gathered around the bed as well, all examining the injured person from top to bottom.
Lily smiled bitterly as she took a step back. She clearly did not belong here. She should just leave the room and give everyone some privacy.
But as soon as she turned around, she saw a breathtakingly beautiful face right behind her. "Thank you very much for taking care of him." Shen Yue bowed politely with a small smile.
"Ummm. I didn't do much." Lily became even more embarrassed.
Shen Yue acknowledged her with a nod before moving on to clear the crowded area. Lily watched the woman stand up assertively, like a mother protecting her cub, and with just a few words, she had everyone leaving.
Lily couldn't believe it. Shen Yue always gave off the impression of being gentle and shy, but at this moment, she was anything but that.
Lily wondered if she could also be strong like this person one day. With a smile, she left the room.
The rest of the group also followed her. Clearly, Liam wasn't seriously injured, so even though everyone was curious as to what had happened, they did not dare disturb his rest.
Only Shen Yue stayed back and helped Liam change his clothes, get cleaned up, and apply first aid. She then patiently waited on the chair by the side for him to wake up.
By the time Liam opened his eyes, it was already the morning of the next day.
"Hmmm?" He saw Shen Yue sitting up, her face tiredly resting on her hand. She even had her eyes closed, and a little bit of drool had leaked from the corner of her lips.
Liam laughed as he saw the enchantress in such a state, which didn't happen very often.
As if she sensed it, Shen Yue immediately snapped her eyes open. "You are awake! How are you doing?" She quickly got up and rushed over to him.
Liam smiled and wiped the drool from her lips. "Why did you sit over there? You should have just sat near me or just slept next to me."
Shen Yue immediately started blushing. The next second, she realized what had happened. "You are changing the topic. Are you fine now? Does it hurt anywhere? Please tell me what happened."
This person always carried all of his load all alone on his shoulders. She knew that she wasn't strong enough to share his burdens with him but at the least she wanted to be a little helpful.
Liam smiled again and pulled the girl closer to him, kissing her soft lips.
"I am fine now." He grinned and pulled her even closer, making her sit on his lap. He held her tightly close to his chest, feeling her warmth spread across his body as her hands wrapped around him.
He let out a small sigh. He had been fighting nonstop for 72 hours and was completely exhausted. He was also injured slightly in a few places, but none of that mattered as long as the ones he loved remained safe.
To protect these few, he would go even further, even if it was to the depths of hell.
He rested his head on Shen Yue's shoulder and started telling her everything about the dungeon.
