CHAPTER 29:HE'S A HERMAPHRODITE

"Young Master, are you feeling better?" Eli adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and looked away from the creases on the bed sheets that Dray had just pressed down on. He was clearly evaluating the relationship between the two, with some truth and some falsehood.

"You're awake now, and I've called the doctor in to check on you." While Dray was on the phone with Old Master Xander, the family doctor who had been waiting downstairs came in. After a careful examination of Sky's body, the doctor removed the drip.

"Master's body is fine now, the fever has gone down, and the small wound on his hand has been treated. Just take a tetanus shot to prevent infection. The most important thing is the deep wound on his forehead. Although it doesn't need stitches, it still needs to be taken care of to avoid scarring."

"In addition, the ankle sprain needs to be well rested. I have some ointment provided by Young Master Pei here. Master should massage it before bed every day to promote blood circulation and remove stasis. During this time, try to avoid excessive movement."

Eli carefully noted down the usage of the antibiotics and a bunch of nutritional supplements for Sky.

"And as Young Master is a [1]hermaphrodite he needs to take more supplement to prevent sickness. 

Just then, Dray finished his call and walked in from the balcony.

He heard what the doctor had said clearly which made him more sad "that's the reason he's always careless because he can just carry anyone's child" he thought. 

"Young Master Li, I've written down the usage and dosage of these medicines. Please remind Young Master to take them on time." Eli's tone was flat, but the meaning was clear. He hoped that Dray could personally massage Sky's ankle with the ointment.

As Eli handed the bottle of ointment to Dray, Sky's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

His breathing became tense.

As a married couple, Mr. Xia's proposal was of course not a problem.

But the problem was that he and Dray were not really married.

To let that cold man apply medicine for him, and even let him massage his ankles, Sky couldn't even imagine such a scene.

Just as Sky was worried that Dray would sweep away the medicine bottle from Mr. Xia's hand in the next moment, Dray took the medicine from Eli's hand and said, "Got it."

He lowered his eyes and looked at him, his long fingers rubbing his hairline.

"My husband, did you hear that? You have to be good... When Mr. Li applies the medicine for you, you can't act spoiled, okay?"

Dray's deep voice was filled with an indulgence that he had never heard before.

The rough fingertips gently pinched him soft cheeks, and the warmth transmitted from his fingertips made Sky's eyes slightly moist.

He looked at the man's serene eyes.

Sky, who was being "indulged": "..."

*

Eli had just left the room.

Dray's touch on Sky's cheek disappeared.

The faint smile at the corner of his mouth faded away, and the indulgence in his eyes disappeared, replaced by a cold and icy expression.

He raised his eyebrows and stood up, throwing the bottle of medicine next to Sky. "Apply it yourself."

The once cool and deep voice was now devoid of any warmth. It was as if the caring "Mr. Li" who had been with him in front of Assistant Xia was just a figment of his imagination. However, Sky was only momentarily surprised for a few seconds. He didn't feel any disappointment because he knew all along that Dray could never be good to him. In his eyes, he was a man with a messy private life, malicious intentions, and even a dirty thief. He was self-aware and wouldn't misunderstand his feelings towards him.

"Um." Sky lightly pursed his lips and held the medicine bottle in his hand. "But I have another question... Although I know everything is just to deal with Assistant Xia, this room only has one bed... How... should we sleep?"

Sky cautiously asked the question that concerned him the most. Dray's bedroom was expensive, but it was obvious that there was only one large bed in the room. He couldn't even sleep on the sofa because the only sofa in the corner of the room was a single-seater.

"Sky, how could you ask such a stupid question?" Dray's low and cold voice came from the closet.

"What?" Sky was confused.

The man's thin lips curved into an elegant arc, revealing a cold and ruthless glint. "When did you hear that a commodity has the right to choose its own place to stay? If you forget who the employer is and who the commodity is in the contract, it's best to review it."

Dray returned from the closet with a thin woolen blanket draped over his long arm. He casually tossed the blanket onto the floor at the foot of the bed.

"Eli is staying here, so we can't have any extra bedding in the room... From now on, this is where you'll be sleeping," Dray said.

[1] Hermaphrodite is common in this story but also rare.

It's the ability of someone two have two sexual gentile. So in this it's a Man who can carry and bear children.

That's the reason the Kin family used Sky as a commodity because they knew he could give birth.
