A Billion Dollar Exchange-Chapter 102: Babysitting

It took Liling sometime to come to herself. After a few minutes, she slumped on the ground and watched the stairs leading to his room.

'How was she going to face him? What was she going to say was her reason for being in his pool in the first place?

And now he's paralyzed. Wait.. he's paralyzed... that means... that means...

SHE'LL HAVE TO BE HIS BABYSITTER!!!

Her brain bulbs switched on as her eyes widened at the recent realization.

Wait... would she have to feed him? bath him? His hands were okay right?

As these questions flooded her mind, she immediately stood up and rushed upstairs to check for herself.

He should just be paralyzed on the legs... just on the legs... please..

She prayed earnestly, just the mere thought of bathing him sent shivers down her spine.

This was not what she bargained for... at all!!

When she approached the door, she slowed down her steps. Moving quietly, she gently knocked on the door and almost immediately she heard a 'come in' from the inside.

Liling stood outside for a few seconds before lightly pushing open the door. She stepped in, one foot after the other.

Liu Wei was sitting upright on the bed, his laptop beside him.

Before Liling could say anything, he had already started talking.

"Liling, could you help me lift this laptop to my laps please? I can't seem to be able to carry it.. "

'NO... NO... NO!!!'

Liling stood at the spot gazing at him, she didn't want to believe that he couldn't use his hands properly, so she asked him.

"Your hands, are they paralyzed too? "

Liu Wei looked up at her and after a few seconds, a frown appeared on his forehead.

"Is that the apology you should be rendering right now?, if I could make use of my hands, would I ask for your help?"

Liling, realising how foolish she had been immediately apologized.

"I'm sorry, Mr Liu Wei!!. I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you, I.. I... please don't call the cops okay?, I'll take care of you till you recover fully. The doctor said in a few months, you would be fully recovered, please don't call the cops on me... "

She put her hands together and closed her eyes, showing how sorry she was.

After sometime, Liu Wei responded.

"First, start by helping me with the laptop.. "

"Oh.. "

Realizing herself, she immediately rushed to his side and placed the laptop on his laps and opened it. Liu Wei told her to help him place his hands on it which she did.

'God, what have I gotten myself into!!'

Liling bit her lips as she stood by the side watching him.

"Sit over there, when I need your help I'll call you. "𝑓re𝘦𝔀𝗲𝘣𝘯𝘰νℯ𝒍.c𝗼ｍ

"Uh.. okay"

She immediately walked over to the sofa and sat down.

Only Liu Wei knew how much joy filled his heart knowing that his plan had worked perfectly.

He had told the doctor to pronounce him paralyzed, though it would be temporal.

He was so happy that this accident had happened, this was a perfect opportunity to be closer to her and he was not ever dropping the act till she falls for him, so the earlier she started liking him, the better for both of them.

Liling on her part was thinking about her new job.𝗳𝒓𝚎e𝚠𝒆𝐛𝐧𝐨v𝚎Ɩ.co𝓶

'How would she bath a grown man? not to talk of someone as strikingly handsome as Liu Wei!!

Was has she gotten herself into? '

She sat there praying that he would not ask her to bath him, it was going go be extremely awkward.

After sometime, Liu Wei asked a question which threw her off balance.

"So why were you kissing me back at the pool? "
