Chapter 53 Hot Spring
Amelia raised her hand to check her temperature when she realized what was going on. Maybe I took som medicine for my fever, but it didn’t work. I’ll just go back and sleep it off later? She sounded weak, and is voice was hoarse.
Dylan looked at the side of her neck, where there were deep, purple bruises that went down her back
“You’re hurt?” he asked.
Amelia was injured. Someone had hit her with a rake on her first night in Greenvale, and her back had hurt ever since.
She had seen it in the mirror while she was taking a shower last night. Her bruised back looked scary.
“Amelia, go rest after you’ve finished eating.”
“Okay.”
Watching his retreating figure,
suddenly felt that he wasn’t as cold as he seemed.
She hadn’t had time for a real bath last night. After eating and resting for half an hour, she grabbed the provided robe and headed for the hot spring recommended by the staff. She’d heard that after soaking there, your skin would become incredibly smooth.
The pool was more than 100 square men size, and the mist was so thick that it was almost impossible
to see anything. A light scent hung in the air as Amelia walked in.
It was strange that such a great place hadn’t been built yet. It would be a gold mine if someone were to turn it into a natural hot spring resort.
She swam in the pool for more than ten minutes before leaning against the edge, her cheeks red from the heat.
Amelia could hear the sound of water splashing/She turned around and saw Dylan lying down with his eyes closed nearby. She didn’t even see him come in.
Amelia jumped out of the water, but then she remembered she was naked. She was flustered and quickly sat back down, her face burning red.
She had only put on a bathrobe before coming in. The only staff member had told her that the water had been changed overnight and that no one else had used it yet, so she could bathe naked if she wanted to.
But no one told her there might be someone else. And by judging the situation, Dylan had arrived before. her.
Amelia instinctively wrapped her arms around her chest, feeling embarrassed, so she kept her head down, not daring to look at him.
It was so foggy in the pool that you couldn’t see anything until you got close. That’s why she didn’t see Dylan.
He was also bare–chested, but he had pants on underneath.
The pool arranged several bottles of premium liquor and fruit. He knew how to enjoy himself.

Chapter 53 Hot Spring
If Amelia weren’t completely naked right now, she’d probably have greeted him with ease
But she was some distance from where she had entered the water. To get her robe, she’d have to pack righ by Dylan.
She was too scared to move, so she sat still.
As Dylan slowly opened his eyes, water dripped from his hair.
Amelia scooted away, worried she might offend him. They were so close that she could practically feel his body heat.
Dylan’s face and physique were almost unreal, especially in this misty setting. It was hard to look away.
Amelia stole several glances before hearing him ask, “Haven’t you seen enough?” Only then did she realize she’d been staring at him for a full minute.
There was probably nothing more embarrassing than being naked in front of someone, so she found herself trying to calm down.
“Just appreciating something beautiful. Mr. Hale is the most handsome man I’ve ever seen.”
After the compliment, Amelia remembered Dylan was also her boss. She fell silent, staring down at the
water.
A low, gentle laugh drifted to her ears, making them tingle.
She thought she was imagining things, but when she turned, she saw Dylan was indeed smiling. His cool eyes lifted at the corners, like a sudden burst of spring.
Amelia was dazed for a moment until a bathrobe fell on her head.
“Use mine for now,” Dylan said.
With the robe covering her, she could only hear his pleasant voice, so he had noticed she wasn’t wearing anything.
Well, she had swum right past him without realizing it. Her cheeks burned red as she hurriedly wrapped the robe around herself, tying it tightly.
Perhaps because Dylan was so composed, Amelia’s embarrassment faded, and she calmed down as well.
Perhaps her body didn’t matter to him. Maybe he just didn’t like women. She felt a lot better after thinking about this.
It was so lovely in the hot spring that she didn’t want to leave yet. She leaned back and let out a happy sigh.
Suddenly, footsteps could be heard, and Nathan’s voice called out. “Mr. Hale, we’ve found out that Eric ordered the hit in Sienna Valley.”
Eric Hale? Wasn’t that Nolan’s father?
Amelia was worried that Nathan would see her. Especially since his impression of her was already terrible. She instinctively sank lower, submerging herself in the water.
Nathan had reached the edge of the pool, his tone respectful. “Eric left traces everywhere with his clumsy
