Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1289

"Don't move," Luella immediately crouched beside him, expertly massaging his shoulders and legs to loosen the cramped muscles.

She started with his shoulders, then moved down to his legs. But as she massaged him, Jimmie felt something terrifyingly wrong happening.

He was actually...

"I'm fine now." Jimmie abruptly pushed her hands away, frantically pulling his jacket down to cover his lap. His face burned with panic and embarrassment. "I think the rescue team is here."

"They are?" Oblivious to his crisis, Luella spun around and yelled down the mountain. "Hey! We're over here!"

Jimmie leaned back against the tree, squeezing his eyes shut. His heart sank to the pit of his stomach.

He had actually gotten an undeniable physical response just from her touching him.

It was over. He was completely, hopelessly doomed.

At the hospital, everyone paced anxiously outside the operating room.

"Wait, so you're telling me you spent the entire night alone with Jimmie?" Melvin stared at Luella in sheer disbelief.

"Yeah." Luella blinked, feeling incredibly guilty. "It was an accident. I didn't mean for it to happen."

"And you didn't take the opportunity to assassinate him?" Melvin clicked his tongue, amazed.

Luella gave him a withering look.

"Melvin!" Juniper glared at her brother, and he instantly shut his mouth.

"But still..." Juniper stepped closer, lowering her voice. "You two actually survived a whole night without tearing each other apart? That's incredible."

Luella kept her mouth shut. Not only had they not fought, but he had held her while she slept the entire night. If Juniper didn't believe it, she wouldn't blame her; she could barely believe it herself.

"Luella, why are you blushing?" Juniper leaned in, her eyes narrowing suspiciously.

"I am not!" Luella vehemently denied it, guiltily taking a few steps back. "Oh look! The doctor's out!"
