She was wearing a low-cut swimsuit, and her blushing cheeks spread all the way down to her chest, creating a pinkish hue. This view rendered Steve Burton's gaze rather heated. His throat slightly quivered, and he couldn't help but lean in closer to her ear, staring at her blushing earlobe. In a dark, deep voice, he mumbled, "Are you afraid that I'll get infected, huh?"
Along with his voice, warm breath sprayed onto Ruby Gregory's ear.
Especially the last word, "huh", he intentionally raised his pitch, imbued with a touch of teasing.
Ruby's face instantly turned a deep shade of red, as if ablaze.
Steve looked at Ruby's girlish expression, and his smile spread wantonly across his lips and features. His entire face seemed to glow with brilliance.
He reached out and gently touched her forehead, then extended his injured hand to her, "Weren't you worried about me getting infected? Check it now so your concern won't be in vain."
