However, Mitchel had other plans. He gently shook her, whispering, "Wake up. It's time for a shower."

Eyes shut, Raegan pretended to sleep, hoping to avoid the awkwardness.

Mitchel suddenly stopped, and the room fell into silence.

Just as Raegan secretly started to rejoice, Mitchel surprised her by picking her up from the couch and placing her under the warm water, tenderly helping her wash away the night's events.

Raegan couldn't pretend to be asleep any longer because she couldn't stop trembling.

She gently opened her blurry eyes and internally recoiled at the intimate position. She whispered, her voice muffled by the steam, "I can handle it myself..."

Under the warm, yellow light, Mitchel locked eyes with her.

He said in a low, husky voice, “I know you are tired. I can help you take a bath."

Raegan's cheeks turned even more crimson, and tears welled up in her eyes as she shook her head. She responded on the verge of tears, “No, I'm not tired."

All she wanted was for him to leave as soon as possible. She would not tell him that her back was aching after their intimacy.

Mitchel stared at her intently and asked in a hoarse voice, "Are you really not tired?"

Raegan angrily denied it.

“I'm not tired."

Her soaked hair clung to her shoulders, and a delicate blush still adorned her lovely face, a lingering testament to the sexual intercourse she had just experienced. There was an implicit invitation in the air, irresistibly alluring.

"I was worried you might get tired, so..." Mitchel began, leaning in and holding her hand in a dominant gesture.

He left his sentence unfinished, but the bathtub water splashed, creating an atmosphere of love and tenderness.

When the water started to get cold, Mitchel reached out and turned on the warm water tap.

They spent the night together, every corner of the hospital room bore witness to the intensity and rediscovery of their love.

Mitchel finally brought Raegan to the bathroom to clean her up, and she was too fatigued to refuse.

The following morning, Raegan woke up well into the afternoon.
