Love Unbreakable by Bank Brook
Chapter 1530

He was making the biggest compromise.

Otherwise, why would he take a bath with his underwear on?

Nicole took a bath towel and threw it at Jarrod.

But he didn’t catch it.

Instead, he let it fall to the floor.

He raised an eyebrow and ordered arrogantly, “Give me a new one and wrap it around me.

”

Nicole stood there silently.

Jarrod scoffed.

“Since you don’t abide by the agreement, I guess I also don’t have to, right?”

Nicole was tempted to throttle Jarrod, but she took a deep breath to fight back the urge.

She grabbed a towel and wrapped it around him from behind.

But as she did, her fingers accidentally brushed against his skin.

She felt his tense and tight muscles were as hot as a kiln.

Nicole ensured Jarrod was covered before she looked at him and said softly, “Go ahead.

You’re ready.

”

Jarrod glanced at her before stepping into the non-slip mat and easing into the bathtub.

When he first submerged himself in the water, he felt like countless sharp needles pricked his skin.

Nicole squatted beside him, pressed his shoulder, and _ said solicitously, “Submerge your whole body.

The water’s temperature is just right.

The doctor said a hot soak is good for you.

”

Jarrod’s brows furrowed tightly.

The water’s temperature was just right? Damn! It was even too far from warm.

It was actually almost scalding.

The bathtub was filled to the brim with almost boiling water.

There was not a single drop of cold water mixed into it.

Nicole must do it on purpose.

When Nicole saw Jarrod’s efforts of suppressing his anger, she relished her moment of victory.

She won this round.

“Is something wrong? Are you not satisfied with the bathtub I prepared for you?” she asked in a voice dripping with sarcasm.

Teasing was a backhanded compliment, and Nicole had a gift for dishing it out.

She threw Jarrod’s words right back at him, leaving him dumbstruck.

Actually, Nicole didn’t mix it with cold water because Jarrod was still on the road to recovery.

If he soaked in cool water, his condition would only worsen.

The cool water might only hinder his recovery, and she’d be stuck nursing him.

It would only make her plans harder to pull off.

But she was unwilling to assist him in taking a bath, so she decided to give him a little dose of his own medicine.

Anyway, it wouldn’t cause him any serious harm.

It would only make him feel distressed for a while.

After all, how much damage could a little bit of heat truly inflict?

The heat in the large bathtub dissipated quickly, as well as their time to talk.

At this moment, the water’s temperature had already cooled down to only one hundred and eighty degrees Fahrenheit.

Jarrod endured it.

He lay there with his eyes closed, not saying anything.

His whole body had turned rosy red from the heat, but he never complained.

“Are you kidding? You personally prepared this bath for me.

How can I not be satisfied?” Jarrod’s voice was calm, but he was obviously enduring.

His wound had a fresh scab, and it became itchy when exposed to hot water.

The discomfort made him want to scratch it and tear his limb apart.

In a fit of pique, Jarrod reached out his lanky arm and yanked Nicole, who was watching the proceedings with glee, into the bathtub.

“Ah!” Nicole screamed in shock.

The water in the bathtub overflowed from the impact, drenching the floor.

“Jarrod, you bastard!” Nicole roared furiously, her entire body soaked to the bone.

Fortunately, the water had already cooled down a bit.

The heat was tolerable.
