I sat on the hospital bed, trying as much as possible to adjust my state of mind and ignore the impact Nurse Hu had just made on me.
But soon, the sound of water from the bathroom stopped, and Nurse Hu's voice followed, "Mr. Lin, um, I didn't bring any change of clothes, and they're all on my bedside table. Could you pass them to me?"
I verbally agreed, then rose to my feet and looked toward the neatly arranged clothes on the bedside table. On top were a pair of pink panties and a pink and white lace bra.
I swallowed hard, picked up the clothes, and walked to the bathroom door to knock.
The door opened from the inside, and Nurse Hu stretched out her fair arm to receive the items. Water droplets slid over her skin like pearls rolling across top-grade suet jade.
I handed the clothes to Nurse Hu and then fled back to my hospital bed as if escaping. My hand, which had made contact with hers, felt scorching hot.
