Cynthia's sudden display of weakness caused Albert's expression to soften slightly. In truth, he wasn't angry because she refused to quit her job, nor was he upset because she had accidentally hurt his foot. What really angered him was that when he had asked her to help him take a bath, she had refused without hesitation.
Although his request wasn't entirely innocent, her refusal to take care of him hurt him deeply. If he had truly been gravely injured today, unable to move, would she just leave him like this, with no concern at all?
Despite her beautiful body teasing him from behind, he still held his composure and asked her in a low voice, "When we got married, what did you swear in front of the priest? If I were truly hurt today and couldn't move, would you leave me like this? Couldn't you even help me take a bath?"
