Gareth teased with a smirk, "What are you doing, Elisa? Are you this impatient?"
Elisa rolled her eyes at him and blurted, "I'm applying medicine for you."
Gareth raised his brows and cooperatively allowed Elisa to remove his shirt. After cutting open the bandage, Elisa
applied medicine to his wound.
Gareth had strong recovery ability. Besides, Elisa had been looking after his diet the past few days, so his recovery
was better than expected, which made Elisa relieved and feel less guilty.
Elisa attentively and gently redressed his wound. Gareth could occasionally feel the cotton bud rubbing against his
wound, but it wasn't too painful. There was a slight burning sensation when the medicine came into contact with his
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwound, and his body felt warm.
Looking down at Elisa, he could see her long, feather-like eyelashes and… her ample bosom. He awkwardly shifted
his gaze toward the door.
Just then, someone turned the door knob. Gareth instantly pulled Elisa onto the bed and instinctively pressed
against her body. Julia came to ask if they were full from breakfast but was stunned when she caught sight of their
ambiguous posture, and her cheeks flushed upon realizing what they were doing.
When Gareth looked toward her, she quickly covered her eyes and left the room. "Sorry to disturb you. I didn't see
anything. Carry on!"
After closing the door, Julia couldn't help envying the energy and passion of the young people and was impressed
by their progress. Then, she quickly instructed the servants to prepare protein-rich dishes to boost Gareth's health.
Meanwhile, Gareth heaved a sigh of relief when the footsteps outside the room gradually faded away. He lowered
his head to see Elisa meekly lying beneath him. She seemed in a daze, and he found her wide-eyed expression and
pinkish cheeks adorable.
This look was very different from her usual shrewd and resolute demeanor, and the contrast was intriguing.
At this proximity, Gareth could smell the fragrance of Elisa's hair, which was strangely enticing. He instinctively took
a sniff.
"Can you move away already?" Elisa's voice was soft, but Gareth heard every word.
With his eyes darkened, he instantly got up. Elisa, too, got up with a frown.
Gareth looked at Elisa apologetically and explained, "Sorry, I didn't mean it. I just didn't want Grandma to see my
wound. We shouldn't let her know about my injury. Otherwise, she'll be worried."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmElisa, for once, didn't sing a different tune. Everything happened so quickly that she had yet to regain her
composure. She shook her head and asked Gareth not to worry. However, her mind ran wild as she continued
redressing Gareth's wound.
The close proximity with Gareth just now did not repulse her. They hadn't had such close contact in a very long
time… Or rather, they had never had such an experience. Her heart was still racing after the unexpected episode,
and she didn't know what to say to Gareth.
She took a deep breath to clear her mind. After finishing the bandaging, she said, "It's done." Then, she was ready
to go downstairs, but Gareth quickly grasped her arm.
