Captivated by the Ruler of the Underworld
Chapter 236 Applying Ointment

Sylvester held Lela's hands around his waist and said indulgently and gently, "Sweetheart, you should go to sleep."

He could tell that Lela was tired.

Lela, in a daze, slowly opened her eyes and didn't let go of his hands. "No."

She wanted to apply ointment to Sylvester; He still had wounds on his back.

She had been worried about it.

Sylvester turned around, looking down at Lela's head resting on his abdomen, and raised his hand to stroke her soft hair. "Darling, you're tired. Have a good sleep."

Lela raised her head and held his right hand with her left hand. Her silver pupils were shining brighter in the warm, soft light of the room, and her face still flushed. "It's all because of you that I'm tired. Clearly, you still have wounds, and yet you act recklessly."

Sylvester chuckled softly, sat down decisively, pulled her into his arms, and pinched her soft cheeks. "Darling, these two things don't conflict. I suppose I'm the one who did the most part in that. Why are you so tired?"

Hearing this, Lela felt her face heat up, finally burying her face in Sylvester's chest. After a while, she said, "I... I don't know, either."

Sylvester was truly mischievous.

Sylvester's heart was filled up with affection when he looked at Lela's delicate appearance.

He had never seen a girl like Lela, who had a good overall sense of justice and was gentle to those she cared for, and yet she could also show extraordinary brutality when facing her enemies. Despite enduring such torture, she was still as bright a girl as ever.

However, Sylvester didn't know that the reason Lela was slowly changing wasn't that she chose to be obedient and rational but that she chose him.

Because of him, she chose to start following the rules of this world.

Sylvester pinched her slender neck, lifted her from his chest, and looked at her. "Don't you feel suffocated by lying on my chest like this?"

Then he held her and walked to the tray.

Lela held Sylvester, looking down at the medicines in the tray and not knowing who sent them over. Nor did she ask. She just blinked her eyes. "Sylvester, I'll apply the ointment for you." "Okay."

The wound on Sylvester's back was long, even deep enough to see the bone.

Seeing Sylvester's wound, Lela couldn't help but feel uneasy. Fortunately, it didn't get infected due to water exposure. In fact, the wound was cleaned because of the medicinal bath.

Feeling sorry, Lela couldn't help but sigh and thought, 'Sylvester's body is indeed strong.'

"Sylvester, don't you feel any pain?"

After all, Sylvester still made love when injured.

Sylvester knew Lela was worried about him, but he had been involved in dangerous activities since he was young. Getting injured was a common thing. Coupled with the monthly pain from hereditary diseases, he had developed some immunity to physical pain.

"It's fine. A kiss from you makes the pain go away."

Hailey entered and happened to see the scene.

Lela had just finished bandaging. Upon seeing Hailey, she quickly wrapped Sylvester's body with clothes, proclaiming her possessiveness.

Except for her, no woman could see Sylvester's body.

Seeing her reaction, Sylvester smirked slightly.

Lela covered Sylvester with clothes and then turned to Hailey. "Hailey, why are you here?"

"Miss Sarah, you're awake."

Before Hailey could finish her sentence, Sylvester interrupted, reaching out his hand, devoid of the gentleness he showed Lela, and said, "Take the medicine here."

Hailey approached, handed the medicine to Sylvester, and didn't want to disturb the intimacy between the two. She just smiled and paused upon seeing the color of Lela's pupils, but she didn't ask and then left.

The divine doctor, whose disciples and servants all had high etiquette and knew what to ask and what shouldn't.

Lela got up from behind Sylvester, moved to his front, sat face to face in his arms, blinked her eyes, and looked down. "Sylvester, what is this medicine for? Haven't your wound already been medicated?" She thought, 'Do we need to do that again?'
