Though paralyzed, still radiantly charming!

Chapter 47: Ethan, I’m here to collect my payment today~

“Hey Aunt Scarlett! How are you?” Emily greeted, dressed in a white sundress that showed off her shoulders, looking youthful and stunning in her breezy outfit.

“Hello.” Scarlett was still preoccupied with the events of last night, feeling somewhat out of it.

It was only when she saw Emily’s outfit that she realized it was the weekend and school was out.

“I’m here to see Ethan.” Emily said cheerfully, holding a beautifully wrapped gift bag. After greeting Scarlett, she walked over and sat by the bed:

“Hehe, Ethan, missed your adorable girlfriend?”

Ethan, sensing trouble as soon as she arrived and hearing her words, almost jumped out of bed, nearly creating a medical miracle.

“Hey, I’m not your boyfriend, okay? Don’t start rumors…”

He glanced at Scarlett, noticing she was heading towards the door of the hospital room, seemingly oblivious to their conversation, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The things he had been forced to say before couldn’t be taken seriously.

Now, he and Aunt Scarlett were dating.

Although he could guess what Scarlett was thinking, he really wanted to date her properly and subtly change her perception of him, without any mishaps.

Something like cheating right after starting a relationship would definitely get him in deep trouble!

“Yo~~” Emily saw his frantic denial and wasn’t upset. Her eyes gleamed mischievously, like a fox, as she watched Scarlett leave.

Then, turning back to Ethan with a smirk, she leaned in closer: “Ethan, I’m here to collect my payment today~”

Ethan grimaced, remembering how he had asked her to investigate Scarlett’s so-called boyfriend, Henry, a few days ago.

Her condition was to let her see his nine-inch “Pecker.”

He had agreed at the time, out of desperation.

Now that she was actually here to collect, it was really awkward.

Scarlett stepped out of the room, quickening her pace after hearing Emily claim to be Ethan’s girlfriend.

She walked through the hospital, her mood complex.

It wasn’t jealousy,she was just feeling very peculiar.

Yesterday, she agreed to date Ethan, and today, here was this vibrant, beautiful ‘girlfriend.’

“Ah… what’s all this about?”

Scarlett covered her forehead with her hand, sighing in exasperation. Ethan was paralyzed, and yet he still managed to have a girlfriend.

What was this, a soap opera?

All Scarlett could do was give a wry smile,she didn’t know what else to do.

She sat on a bench by the roadside. Ethan had been thoroughly checked at the hospital, and all his indicators were healthy, with nothing unusual.

This meant that medical science alone couldn’t explain what happened last night.

Scarlett took out her phone, quickly scrolling through her contacts, and stopped at her best friend Jessica’s name. It seemed she couldn’t discuss this with anyone else but her best friend.

“No choice then.”

She sighed softly and dialed Jessica’s number.

Back in the hospital room.

Emily propped her chin with her hands, smiling at Ethan: “You won’t back out, right, Ethan? A promise is a promise.”

As she leaned forward, the neckline of her dress shifted slightly, revealing her pristine, white collarbone.

Her long, blonde hair draped over her shoulders, complementing her white outfit and giving her a first-love vibe.

“Of course, I’ll keep the promise,” Ethan said, knowing full well that despite her giggly demeanor, this girl was dangerously intense. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call her a bit of a psycho.

He spoke awkwardly, “But can we maybe pick another time? It’s broad daylight, and it’s kind of awkward, don’t you think?”

He planned to buy some time and figure things out later.

“Sure~” Emily’s eyes crinkled with amusement. She sat up straight, propped her hands on the chair, and crossed her legs. Her dress rode up slightly, revealing her bare, pale feet in low-heeled sandals. She playfully swung her feet, “But as interest, Ethan, you’ll have to lick my foot~”

Ethan swallowed hard, his gaze falling on her bare, snow-white toes.

He wasn’t particularly into feet, but he had to admit they were pretty.

“Though, you know, a woman’s foot has six times the bacteria of a man’s,” Emily said with a teasing smile, her fingers playing with her shoelaces. “Wanna try and see how it tastes?”

“Ew,” Ethan turned his head away, disgusted. “Who would want to lick a girl’s foot? That’s way too high an interest rate.”

“Oh, let’s change it then,” Emily tilted her head, her finger propping her chin as if she was seriously contemplating.

Ethan sighed softly, watching her think. He knew getting involved with this girl was going to be trouble.

Now that Aunt Scarlett had agreed to date him, it was a significant step forward.

He just needed to complete his task, and he could add two more points to his attributes. With a strength of 4, he’d have the constitution of a physically weaker woman, and normal life wouldn’t be a problem anymore.

He needed to accelerate the next steps.

But how to complete the task?

He was at a loss.

“Let’s do this, I’ll pick something simple~” Emily suddenly clasped her hands together, her eyes twinkling with mischief. “Confess to Blair!”

“What?” Ethan immediately refused. “That’s my sister, how could I do such a despicable thing! No way, absolutely not!”

“You just have to confess, and once she responds, you tell her it was a punishment game I set up for you,” Emily explained with a laugh. “That way, you won’t feel awkward. It’s just a normal truth or dare, right? How hard can it be?”

Ethan hesitated briefly, then shook his head firmly. “No, I can’t.”

His tone was resolute.

Blair was extremely important to him,he couldn’t joke about such things.

“Really?” Emily’s smile froze on her face. “Ethan, you’re starting to make me angry.”

“You keep going back on your word, I really don’t know what I might do to you next…”

“I can’t involve people who care about me,that’s my bottom line,” Ethan clenched his teeth. “So it’s just about showing you what a man’s penis looks like, right? I’ll show you right now!!”

Meanwhile.

Scarlett met Jessica at a coffee shop.

“Scarlett, I’m thirty years old, and it’s rare I get a weekend off. Can’t you let me have some personal time to find a boyfriend?” Jessica wasn’t in her police uniform, instead wearing a casual T-shirt and jeans. Her confident, mature demeanor and attractive figure drew glances from people around.

“I have something important to discuss with you,” Scarlett said, a hint of embarrassment in her eyes as she coughed lightly. She knew she was really imposing on Jessica.

“It’s about that Ethan again, isn’t it? I’m not a relationship expert, you know. You haven’t fallen for him, have you?” Jessica spread her hands.

“Being lonely for too long, even a dog looks handsome, and you start fantasizing about sleeping with it. It’s all an illusion.”

“It’s not that!” Scarlett glanced around frantically, relieved to find they were sitting in a corner. She lowered her voice and shared the events of the previous night.
