Chapter 60-The Divine Beauty Of My Stepsister
Kaye:
"Helanie! Your wounds need to be cleaned, and you need a bath to help with your fever." I watched her stand hesitantly by the bed, hugging herself tightly and looking reluctant.
"I—" Her voice held a quiet hesitation, her gaze fixed on the ground as if she wasn’t really present. It felt as though only her body was here.
I walked over and, without touching her hand or arm, gestured toward the bathroom and started in that direction. As I neared the door, she slowly began to follow, her hand rubbing her elbow, eyes still cast downward. I’d never seen anyone with such pure innocence.
My brother’s words echoed in my mind.
No! She was nothing like her mother.
In fact, she seemed different from any other she-wolf.
Once she entered the bathroom, I gave her privacy to undress and settle into the bath. After a few minutes, when I stepped inside, I saw she hadn’t fully undressed—she sat in the water, wearing only her bra and underwear. I understood she wasn’t comfortable being fully exposed around me, and I respected that.
I sat beside her, holding the washcloth gently in my hand, pressing the warm cloth over her bruised back with the lightest touch.
