My Accidental Husband Is My Revenge Partner - Chapter 166

Chapter 166: You Will Take Care Of Me
From the corners of Allison’s eyes, she saw Olivia storming out of the hallway before she  slammed the door shut.

On the bed was Kace, already changed out of his casual clothing to what looked like a hospital gown.

“Are you going to continue staring at me like that without saying a word?” He asked her with a faint smile on his lips.

‘How can he smile like that when he’s injured,’ she wondered but didn’t dare to voice out her thoughts.

“Come take a seat.” He tapped the side of the bed, urging her to take a seat beside him.

Allison walked forward, but instead of sitting on the bed, she took a seat on the couch opposite the bed.

Kace pouted his lips in disappointment.

“What did the doctor say?” She asked him.

He stared at her for a few seconds, silently urging her to take a seat on the bed instead, but Allison simply stared at him, waiting for him to speak.

Sighing in defeat, he parted his lips to speak, “I broke a few ribs, and won’t be recovering anytime soon.”

Allison stared at him, overwhelmed by a wave of guilt. If he hadn’t shielded her from the falling pole, he wouldn’t have sustained any broken bones.

“I’m sorry,” she mumbled.

“You don’t have to apologize. Although, I do find it weird that a pole fell on stage, also, that shadow…” he drawled.

“What shadow?” Allison asked, her eyebrows furrowed in curiosity.

“It’s nothing,” Kace smiled. “My eyes must have been deceiving me, that’s all.”

Allison gave him a pointed look, but didn’t dare persuade him to talk. He was still injured.

“Allison, can you pour me a glass of water?” He requested.

Immediately, she walked over to the water dispenser and poured him a glass of water. When she was done, she handed him the glass, their hands touching slightly, sending sparks to fly in the air before Kace gulped down the contents inside the glass.

“So, about my broken ribs…” he drawled, staring at her. “I will need someone to help me with everything until I get better.”

“What’s that supposed to mean?” She asked, high on alert as she blinked at him.

“You’ve visited my house before and you know I have no servants that can help me cook and clean daily. I can’t even walk properly on my own,” he explained. “So, since you are the reason for my broken ribs, you are going to have to take care of me,” he declared.

Instantly, Allison stood up from the couch as she opposed, “I’m not doing such a thing. I never asked you to shield my body with yours. You were the one who put yourself in this condition. If you don’t have a servant, then hire one. You are rich enough to hire as many servants as you want. But there’s no way I’m going to take care of you.”

Kace blinked at her, completely surprised by her outburst.

He’d only been teasing her, but seeing her reaction, he was deadpan on making her take care of him.

“Do you expect me to sit and watch you get pounded to death by a pole? My ribs are broken, and I can barely move right now. Who’s going to bathe me, feed me, and clean me up?”

“What the heck?! If you want someone to take care of you, just get a caregiver or a nanny. I’m neither of those, Kace,” she retorted.

‘He expects me to bathe him? Who do I look like, his mother?’ She wondered as she shot daggers at him with her glare.

If looks could kill, Kace would probably be six feet under already.

Kace raised his hand in surrender.

“Alright alright. So maybe you can’t help with everything. But you still need to take care of me since this is your fault,” he reminded her.

Allison gave it a thought. She was still grateful he saved her, but taking care of him was something she wasn’t sure she should do.

Derek was asking her to come back to him when they hadn’t even broken up, which only meant he wanted her to stay away from Kace.

But due to this incident, she would have to be around Kace most of the time.

“I have rules,” she said. Kace raised his eyebrow in curiosity as she continued. “I don’t want to bathe you or clean you up. You are going to have to get a servant for that or do it yourself if you can. Your hands aren’t broken so you should be able to feed yourself,” she reminded, her eyes pointed to his arms before she looked back at him. “But if you need help with that, then I will offer to help you with it and other thing you want me to do,” she finished.

Kace tried to hide the grin that wanted to break free on his lips.

‘That was easier than I thought it would be. She would be coming to my house every day now to take care of me,’ he thought to himself.

“That works fine by me,” he agreed.

“Why did you do that to Allison? You nearly killed her,” Derek asked the lady in front of him as he took a puff of the cigarette in between his fingers.

Olivia took the cigarette from Derek’s hands and took a puff as well with her eyes closed. She released the smoke through her mouth and nostril, taking a deep breath before she opened her eyes.

“She’s just lucky she survived. I won’t give up though. I’ll make another attempt to get rid of her,” she answered.

Wrapping her hands around Derek she pouted at her lips. “I overheard your conversation with her earlier. Why would you want her to come back to you when you already have me?” She asked. “Am I not enough for you, Derek? Do you still need Allison by your side?”

Derek responded by wrapping his hands around Olivia.

“Remember, I’m only using her. Without a thought, you are so much better than her. I just need to remind her where she belongs—under our feet to step on. Once I’m bored with her, she can go to hell for all I care,” he responded.

Olivia smiled against his lips, loving his plans before their lips clashed against each other.
