Chapter 189 “Dr. Smith, you don’t have to tease me like this.” Cameron chuckled awkwardly as Tara approached him. “Hey, handsome, I’m not teasing you. I’m serious,” Tara coquettishly replied. “Come on, lift your shirt. Let me check on your wound.” “Um… I think that’s unnecessary.” Cameron felt a bit embarrassed. The opposite sex hadn’t teased him in this way before. But he couldn’t deny the allure of Tara’s mature charm, especially with her wearing a white coat. Cameron knew she was treating him as a research subject. If he agreed, he’d likely end up on the operating table again tonight, but this time, as a specimen for dissection. “Hey, handsome, don’t be shy. If you’re embarrassed, just let me help you.” Tara reached out. “Dr. Smith, this isn’t appropriate!” Cameron’s brows shot up, and he quickly clutched the sheets around him. Tara giggled at Cameron’s reaction. She found it amusing that he was so shu Most men would jump at the chance to strip down in this situation, but Cameron was different. It only piqued her interest even more. “Alright, handsome, I’ll stop teasing you. I’m serious about examining you, though. As your doctor, it’s only natural for me to care about your recovery,” Tara said earnestly. Cameron raised a brow and asked, “Really?” “Really.” Tara nodded. “Okay then,” Cameron said, finally lifting the sheets and exposing his body wrapped in bandages. Tara leaned in and began her examination. She gently extended her delicate fingers and gently pressed on Cameron’s Injury. She asked softly, “Does this hurt?” “A little.” “And how about here?” 217 Tara moved her fingers to Cameron’s chest. “Not at all.” Cameron shook his head. He was well aware of his own body. Given his fit physical condition and the support of his vigorous energy, even with the knife piercing his chest, it would typically heal entirely within 27, hours, leaving at most some scars. However, due to the penetration of the steel rod and the extended duration of his wounds, the abdominal injury had a more extensive damaged area and would take longer to heal. It had just been ensured that the wound would not reopen. Still, it would require at least three to four days to recover completely. “It doesn’t hurt?” Tara exclaimed in surprise. Her eyes widened as she looked up at Cameron. “Is it numbness or a genuine absence of pain?” “Genuine absence of pain.” Cameron added, “Dr. Smith, my chest is fine now.” Tara couldn’t help but inhale sharply at his words. Her eyes gleamed with curiosity and excitement as if she was beholding a rare treasure. “Um, Dr. Smith… are you alright?” He regretted speaking out earlier. How could he forget Tara’s keen interest in researching him? But Tara’s intense curiosity had indeed been heightened by Cameron’s earlier words. She looked at him with a seductive smile. “Hey, handsome, do you mind if I undo the bandages on your chest?”
