Chapter 855
Elisa's injury continued healing for the next ten days, and she chose to stop working from home. She
went to the office instead.
While she was working from home, Gareth hadn't revealed that she had been injured. Thomas just said
that Mr. Wickam had sent her to do other things.
No one would be suspicious if Thomas said Mr. Wickam sent her to do things. If he said that it was
what Elisa wanted to do, everyone would talk about Elisa and demonize her.
In the ten days, Gareth didn't go and see Elisa. When he knew that Elisa was coming back to the office,
his brows immediately wrinkled tightly, and he walked to Elisa's office.
He didn't knock and opened the door.
He saw Elisa, who was working, and his frown deepened. "Who asked you to come to the office?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtElisa was slightly surprised. She raised her eyes and saw that Gareth had shut the door. He walked
into the office while looking darkly at her.
She was startled that Gareth would come over, but she said softly, "My wound is almost healed."
Gareth pursed his thin lips tightly. He didn't want to say anything and walked toward her.
Elisa was a little bewildered, but Gareth said in a low voice the next moment, "Take it off."
Elisa was perplexed.
She looked at him, stupefied. "What do you mean?"
Gareth's face was cold. He didn't say anything, but he didn't force her to do anything either because he
was afraid he would hurt her wound. Meanwhile, Elisa came to her senses. He wanted to look at her
injury.
Elisa furrowed her brows tightly. What is Gareth doing with this hypocritical show of concern?
At the next moment, she said in a low voice, "I said my wound has healed. I know my limits."
It seemed like the impatience in Gareth's eyes increased, but he stayed standing by her side. The
pressure from him made others particularly uncomfortable.
There was sharpness on the man's handsome face. At the next moment, he said in an ice-cold voice
again, "I'm going to tell you again. Take it off. Unless you want me to take it off for you?"
Elisa was rendered speechless.
She didn't want to utter another word or say anything to the man.
But she didn't want to continue wasting time like this with Gareth. She would show him if he wanted to
look at it. What could he do to her?
The next moment, she turned to the side, where her back was facing the man. She said indifferently,
"Take a look for yourself."
Gareth was dumbfounded.
He had said what he did to make her show him her wound.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBut he was at a loss at her sudden actions.
At the next moment, he raised his hands and undid her zipper.
Elisa's wound was right below her shoulder blade, so he had to pull the zipper down low. Her clothes
fell off naturally and loosely.
With one glance, Gareth saw that there was still a layer of gauze on the wound on her back.
Elisa said calmly, "The gauze can be taken off. It doesn't hurt anymore. It's just a layer of protection."
Gareth's brows furrowed. He was slightly uneasy at Elisa's recklessness. Does she do the same if
other men want to look at her injury?
In an instant, his anger flared. He said coldly, "Do you do the same if other men want to look at your
injury?"
Elisa wrinkled her brows and said sarcastically, "Who is as nosy as you?"
But as soon as she said it, she felt that what Gareth said was slightly strange.
It was as though her subconscious reply improved Gareth's mood.
But... before he could remove the gauze on her back, the office door opened suddenly!
