Chapter 71 An Awkward Attempt
- Every time Serena went to look after Logan as he recovered, Holly stood there, looming over them. It made her feel awkward and judged as she did her work. She peeled Logan’s hospital gown back, opening it up over his chest and down far enough that he was almost entirely exposed in the front. Keeping her eyes trained on the bruises down his abdomen, she gently pressed them, watching for reactions of pain. “What are you doing?” Holly asked when Serena palpated Logan’s stomach. Her hands were rather close to his exposed groin, but she was doing a proper medical examination. Serena’s eyes flitted to Logan’s and he smirked at her. Shaking her head, Serena covered Logan up again. “A medical exam, to make sure that there is no internal damage that we missed initially and to make sure he is healing properly,” she said shortly.
- “Holly, why don’t you go get me something to eat?” Logan asked. “You don’t have to be here for this.” Holly rolled her eyes, but she left. “You didn’t have to send her away,” Serena argued. “I’m capable of doing my job with an audience.” Logan chuckled. “Oh, I know,” he said. “I just thought it might be awkward to be mostly naked in front of two females. That hasn’t happened to me for a while.”
- Despite herself, Serena cracked a stiff smile. Logan was trying to joke with her, that meant he wasn’t mad at her anymore, but she still hadn’t decided how she felt about him.
