In the small guest room, Connor brought a basin of hot water, wrung a hot towel, and gently wiped Natalie Niles' face and hands.
Johan Niles had stripped her down to a small camisole and panties in order to examine her injuries.
If Connor weren't there, Johan might have stripped her completely—he is a doctor, and to him, the human body is just a body. He wouldn't have other thoughts; he's seen far too many bodies, which is the main reason he experiences no physiological arousal or emotions when seeing the opposite sex.
But he didn't want Connor to see his sister completely exposed—he still didn't know that the two of them had not only seen each other completely but also shared an unparalleled closeness.
After he left, Connor lifted the quilt and used the hot towel to wipe Natalie's body.
Her body was covered in countless specks of dust, completely soiled.
Connor could imagine how she survived the explosion.
He cleaned her bit by bit, revealing skin as fair as snow.
