Everybody cracked up when she had to change the millionaire’s diapers. But one night, she spotted SOMETHING down there that gave her goosebumps…

Surprise, perhaps recognition. Neither of them realized that this moment would change both of their lives forever. The first three days of caring for Lucas Bennett, passed in a whirlwind of routines.

Emma always arrived early, reviewing his charts and preparing everything before the rest of the staff started their shifts. It offered the privacy she knew Lucas valued as he adjusted to his temporary condition. While Lucas gradually came to terms with his dependence, his frustration often surfaced in sharp remarks.

A creative genius who now can’t even pour his own glass of water, he said one afternoon. His tone tinged with bitterness. Emma, remaining calm, replied while checking his vitals.

Your body is healing. Sometimes patience is its own kind of strength. Outside his room, the gossip continued to ripple through the corridors.

Bet she’s aiming for the Mrs. Millionaire title, Ben joked during a break, drawing laughter from a few others. Dr. Harper nearby smirked subtly but said nothing. Lucas wasn’t oblivious to the whispers.

One morning, as Emma walked in with a tray of medications, he looked at her with hesitation. What are they saying about you out there? He asked. His voice tinged with guilt.

Emma paused, setting the tray down. What they say doesn’t matter, she replied. What matters is that I know why I’m here.

Lucas held her gaze for a long moment, the sharpness in his blue eyes softening. He was beginning to see that Emma wasn’t just a skilled nurse, but also someone with unwavering determination and self-respect. One quiet evening, with most of the staff gone, Emma was finishing Lucas’s physical therapy exercises.

The warm glow of the room’s lighting made the space feel more intimate. Lucas broke the silence, his voice softer than usual. Did you always want to be a nurse? Emma paused, adjusting the position of his leg before replying.

Not at first, she admitted. I grew up in a struggling family. I saw loved ones not get the care they deserved because they couldn’t afford it.

It changed how I viewed the world. Lucas studied her thoughtfully. I understand that feeling, he said.

Before my company, I was a broke college kid drowning in debt, working out of a run-down garage. People only see the success, not the nights I slept on the cold floor. Emma, surprised, sat down next to him.

I thought you were someone who’d never had to fight for anything. And I thought you were someone who never let fear hold you back, Lucas replied, his gaze both inquisitive and filled with respect. They both laughed lightly, a rare sense of connection forming between them…
