Chapter 1539

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 wound, 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."

Elisa, 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.
