Doted by Many: I became the Top-Tier Celebrity!-Chapter 417 - 416: I Only Need Her

She really couldn’t understand why.

It’s known that Aiden Shaw comes from a prestigious family, is a germaphobe, and has a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder.

How could a man like him allow an expired bottle of wine in his room?

This bottle of wine almost took her life, yet also saved her, making her aware of the hidden poison in her body.

After thinking it over and not finding an answer, she had to ask him directly.

Steam rose in the room, and amidst the swirling mist, his features seemed a bit blurred. His eyes were closed as if enjoying the medicinal bath.

Tiana Thorne asked, "Why isn’t Master Four answering?"

Aiden Shaw’s voice was very clear: "A gift for an old friend."

Tiana Thorne couldn’t help but chuckle, raising her eyebrows slightly: "Master Four, you’re really stingy. Giving this wine to an old friend, you might be trying to kill them."

Aiden Shaw opened his eyes, the color of the sea, his voice deep: "You’re very noisy."

Tiana Thorne lazily curved her lips: "I’m your doctor, not your assistant. You can’t stop me from speaking, right?"

He fell silent, saying nothing more.

The room’s temperature gradually dropped.

Tiana Thorne reached out her hand to test the water inside gently. The temperature wasn’t very high, which could easily make one catch a cold.

She got up, ready to find Queenie Grant and Crystal Donovan, when suddenly, the door opened.

Tiana Thorne looked up and saw Jesse Rivers. She asked casually, "Where are Queenie and Crystal?"

Jesse Rivers brought in a bucket of water, smiled, and explained, "Master Four doesn’t like having women around when he bathes."

Tiana Thorne glanced at Aiden Shaw. His shoulders and neck were a bit flushed, probably from soaking for too long, but he still kept his eyes closed, sitting upright.

Doesn’t like having women around, then is she not a woman?

Oh.

She’s a doctor, not considered a woman.

After pouring the water, the temperature was right, a bit hot, but good for opening pores and detoxification.

Jesse Rivers left with the empty bucket and closed the door for them.

Then, Tiana Thorne approached him, and reached into the wooden tub with her hand.

Suddenly, Aiden Shaw opened his eyes. Within the narrow slits of his eyes, the dark green eyes were striking, staring at her intently, a thin mist within.

His aura was very cold and dangerous.

It seemed like a warning, telling her to keep her hands to herself and not try to touch him.

Tiana Thorne’s rosy lips curved into a slight smile, the small dimple on her cheek particularly seductive at this moment. She raised her eyebrows, purposely teasing: "Is Master Four shy now?"

Aiden Shaw squinted slightly, his gaze piercing, somewhat cold.

Seeing him like this, it wasn’t shyness, she suddenly remembered that he disliked physical contact with others.

However...

That’s his problem, her little lady’s interest being piqued, she just wanted to play with him a bit.

Thinking of this, she smiled gently, eyes suddenly uninterested, her lips with a teasing grin: "I am a doctor, touching you is a common thing."

Aiden Shaw’s dark brown pupils were very deep, his voice inexplicably magnetic and husky: "Is that so?"

"Of course," Tiana Thorne smiled.

Aiden Shaw leaned back against the edge of the tub, slowly closing his eyes again, his voice unusually lazy: "Then I hope Dr. Thorne will be more professional."

Tiana Thorne: "...???"

Uh...

How can this man be so inconsistent?

Indeed, Old Fourth Shaw is Old Fourth Shaw, never letting anyone see through him.

She went behind him again, reached out her hand, and placed it on his shoulder: "I’ll press some acupoints now, to help with the absorption of the medicinal bath."

"Hmm."

Perhaps after soaking in the herbs for a while, the body indeed felt a bit different.

Tiana Thorne was used to seeing his usual cold and unpredictable demeanor, but at this moment, he seemed like a little puppy.

Tiana Thorne pressed his upper body’s acupoints with varying pressure, amusing herself with this thought.

Cold and abstinent switching to a little puppy?

That seems very challenging.

Aiden Shaw kept his eyes closed, feeling her soft fingers, sometimes gentle, sometimes forceful.

Sensations that were by turns light as feathers and heavy as a mountain.

He trusted Tiana Thorne’s medical skills; from the way she pressed his acupoints, it was at least trustworthy for the time being.

With his eyes closed, he could feel the medicine causing some change in his skin, turning it a bit red.

The medicinal smell was quite bitter, and he didn’t like it.

Gradually, the changes in his body felt sometimes light, sometimes heavy, until eventually it was like a stagnant pool, without any ripples.

This feeling made one’s mood more tranquil than usual.

Tiana Thorne took about ten minutes pressing his acupoints before withdrawing her hands.

"Afterwards, your body might feel weak, which is a normal effect. Just have a good rest to recover."

"Hmm."

Tiana Thorne reminded again: "The herbal packs are in the box. Remember to soak twice a week. On the day of the medicinal bath, don’t use clean water to bathe again."

"...Hmm."

He hesitated for a while before agreeing.

Tiana Thorne chuckled inwardly, thinking Old Fourth Shaw’s cleanliness was so severe that every time he took a bath, it might almost kill her.

Tiana Thorne clapped her hands: "Alright, you can get up now."

She said, going to fetch the towel and bathrobe, placing them within his reach.

She just wanted to step out for some air when she heard a knock on the door outside.

Soon thereafter, Joyce Hughes’s voice full of concern was heard: "Master Four, how are you doing? Can I come in?"

"What’s the matter?"

"I heard you’re having a medicinal bath. How’s your body? I want to come in and have a look at you."

"Miss Tang is here."

Aiden Shaw was always a man adept at piercing hearts. His words implied he only needed her.

Joyce Hughes didn’t leave, knocking again outside: "But I’m just worried, let me come in and see you."

Heh, such a clingy woman.

Never realizing one’s position is the saddest way to live in this world.

Tiana Thorne lazily said, "Miss Hughes, didn’t you hear? I’m here, and that’s quite enough. You should focus more on your leg."

If even her own leg isn’t well, how can she take care of others?

It’s just possessiveness acting up.

"Master Four, please let me in."

Aiden Shaw’s handsome face showed no emotion, but his expression was ice-cold, his voice icier: "Get lost."

Outside, Joyce Hughes was shocked, standing motionless, as if she thought she misheard.

Did he actually tell her to get lost for another woman?

Why?

She’s the daughter of his savior!

Was Aiden Shaw truly that heartless?

Joyce Hughes’s anger turned into a difficult smile: "Take care of yourself. I’ll come again tomorrow."

Then her voice softened: "Miss Tang, it’s been hard on you during this time, let me know if there’s anything you need."

Tiana Thorne smiled, saying leisurely: "Don’t worry, I won’t hold back—I just fear what I want, you won’t be willing to give." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Outside, Joyce Hughes was filled with resentment, turning to leave.

Only then did Tiana Thorne turn back, just to meet Master Shaw’s silent eyes harboring endless coldness, seemingly layered with ice.
