“Huh? Did | really say that?” Ethan asked, feigning innocence with an exaggeratedly innocent expression. “Lily,

are you sure you didn’t mishear? | don’t remember saying anything about punishments.”

Lily narrowed her eyes at him, glaring with suspicion. “Ethan... you did say it. Don’t even try to deny it!”

He sighed, realizing he had no escape. “Alright, fine. | admit it. You can punish me,” he said with an air of mock

defeat. “Don’t worry, I'll be completely obedient and at your mercy.”

Before Lily could make sense of his words, Ethan continued with a mischievous glint in his eyes. Leaning closer,

he gave her a cheeky wink. “You can do whatever you want with my body. Tie my right hand, blindfold me, and

then take off my clothes one by one. You could even use a whip or candles...”

Her eyes widened in absolute shock. The meaning behind his shameless words hit her like a bolt of lightning. Her

cheeks flushed bright red, and her jaw dropped in disbelief.

“Ethan!” she exclaimed, immediately covering his mouth with her hand. “Shut up! What nonsense are you even

talking about?”

He removed her hand with a pout. “What? Did | say something wrong? Don’t tellyou don’t like this kind of...

excitement?”

“Of course, | don’t-" she began to retort but froze halfway.

“Oh, you do like it!” Ethan interrupted, his eyes lighting up. “That's perfect! Then we can definitely try it-"

“No! No, | don’t like it!” Lily almost cried out, horrified at his brazen suggestion. “Stop saying such shameless

things, Ethan. That's not what | meant by punishment!”

Feigning disappointment, he sighed tically. “Oh, how tragic... But just think about it, Lily. Picture this: your

incredibly handshusband lying on the bed, his hands tied, blindfolded, and absolutely nothing covering his

body. Completely at your mercy. Just imagine it...”

Despite her best efforts, the vivid image he painted crept into her mind. She gulped, her cheeks burning hotter

than ever. Realization quickly snapped her out of it, and she shook her head furiously.

“Ethan!” she yelled, glaring at her mischievous husband. “You're in a hospital! What kind of nonsense are you

imagining?”

“I'm not imagining nonsense,” he replied, grinning wickedly. “I'm being completely practical. This is all for your

benefit, my dear.”

She rolled her eyes, scoffing at his absurd claim. “My benefit? Yeah, right. You're just a shameless pervert trying

to take advantage ofwhile you're injured.”

Feigning offense, he gasped tically. “That's not true! There are two benefits for you, actually. First,” he

said, leaning closer with a smug grin, “you'd get to see your incredibly handshusband... completely naked.”

Lily groaned, rolling her eyes so hard it almost hurt. “What's the second benefit?” she asked, crossing her arms

impatiently.

“Well...” He hesitated for a moment before smirking. “You'd be fulfilling the second condition my parents gave

you.”

Her eyes widened in surprise, “Wait, you were awake when they talked about that?”

He nodded, confirming it. “Oh, | heard everything. Which means,” he said, glancing meaningfully at her lips, “we

should probably start working on that condition. You know... the baby.”

Lily's face turned crimson as she realized what he meant. She instinctively moved a little further from him,

scolding, “Ethan! You're in a hospital! Where are your manners?”

“Manners?” he repeated with a smirk. “Never heard of them. When it comes to my wife, I'm a shameless pervert

through and through.” He laughed, then reached out to pull her closer. “Now, chere. | want to kiss you.”

“No!” she shot back, crossing her arms with a triumphant smile. “No kissing allowed-for a whole month. That's

your punishment.”

Ethan stared at her, horrified. “A month? No kissing? That's way too cruel! You can’t treat an injured man like

this, Lily. Have smercy!” he pleaded desperately, his voice filled with mock despair.

Lily felt her resolve weaken as she looked into Ethan's pleading eyes and saw the pout on his face. She sighed

softly, giving in slightly. “Alright... two weeks,” she said with a small smile.

“That's still too long!” he argued, his voice tinged with exaggerated despair. “How about one minute instead?”

Lily’s eyes widened in disbelief. “One minute? Absolutely not! It’s either two weeks or.... you can sleep on the

couch for a whole month. Your choice!”

Faced with her stern tone, Ethan frowned like a child who had just lost his favorite toy. “Fine,” he muttered

reluctantly. “Two weeks it is. No kissing for two whole weeks!”

“Good,” Lily replied with a triumphant smile, feeling satisfied with her decision.

Their moment was interrupted by a knock at the door. Turning her head, Lily saw the doctor and a nurse

entering. They greeted her warmly before approaching Ethan. The doctor asked him a few routine questions and

conducted a quick check-up to ensure everything was progressing well. After confirming that Ethan was

recovering properly, the doctor left the nurse to relay sinstructions to Lily.

The nurse carefully explained how to care for Ethan during his recovery, listing the dos and don'ts. Lily listened

intently, committing every detail to memory.

Once the nurse left, leaving the couple alone again, Ethan turned his attention back to Lily. He immediately

noticed the exhaustion etched on her face-the dark circles under her eyes, the slight droop in her shoulders, and

her overall fatigue.

“Have you eaten anything?” Ethan asked gently, concern evident in his tone.

“Yes, | have,” she replied, stifling a yawn.

Ethan shifted slightly and gestured to her. “Helpmove a bit.”

Lily hurried to his side, carefully assisting him as he adjusted his position on the bed. He scooted over to one

side, making enough space for her.

“The bed’s big enough for both of us. Chere and rest,” he said, patting the empty space beside him.

“But your injuries—" Lily hesitated, worried about causing him discomfort.

“Lily,” he interrupted, his voice soft yet insistent, “I already can’t kiss you for two weeks. At least lethold you

while | sleep. Please?”

She sighed, her concern warring with her desire to comfort him. In the end, his pleading eyes won her over.

Adjusting the bed slightly, she carefully lay down beside him. Ethan wrapped an arm around her, holding her

close but ensuring not to strain his injuries.

“Good night, Ethan,” Lily murmured, her eyes closing almost immediately.

“Good night, my love,” he replied, pressing a gentle kiss to her forehead before closing his own eyes.

In the quiet room, the steady rhythm of their breathing beca soothing melody as they drifted into a peaceful

sleep together.
