Eliana took the bandage from his hand and continued changing his dressing “What are you afraid of? You’re my

Theodore couldn’t help pressing. Tin your what?”
“Never mind.” Lliana wasn’t good at sweet talk, but she could prove with actions that his wounds didn’t scarsher.
But when the bandage fully fell from his chest, Eliana felt like crying. She took a deep breath and said, “Thankfully, the wound didn’t crack”
Theodore glanced at the neatly stitched wound. “Samuel is highly skilled”
I must thank him properly someday,” Eliana said.
Theodore frowned. “Why thank him? My recovery is all due to my tough vitality”
Eliana rolled her eyes. If he could heal by vitality alone, he wouldn’t need Fortis Serum injections
After cleaning the wound, she applied medicine. Noticing his chest was taut, she asked, “Am I hurting you?”
When he pressed his lips without answering, Eliana leaned in and gently blew on the wound. Theodore let out a muffled groan–not just his chest, but his entire body tensed.
She immediately looked at him nervously, afraid she’d caused pain.

“Mrs. Russell, don’t do that,” Theodore gazed at her deeply, restraining his desire. “I’m a man, I can’t help it.”
Eliana suddenly realized his chest was a sensitive spot. “I didn’t mean to just see you as a patient.”
“I know. You wouldn’t dare do this if I weren’t injured.” Theodore sounded regretful. If unhurt, he would’ve carried her to bed already. Then, silence fel
between them.
Finally, Eliana wrapped the bandage and tied a pretty bow on his shoulder.
Theodore laughed, “Why tie such a nice bow on me?”
“Because it looks cute. It’s my masterpiece,” she said.
This marking like act deepened Theodore’s smile. Before he could speak, a knock sounded at the door.
He said seriously, “Mrs. Russell, no matter who it is, say I’m bathing”
“Got it.” Eliana washed her hands quickly to remove the medicine scent, then left the bathroom, and opened the door calmly.
Outside stood Anthony. “Eliana, I’m here for Theodore”
As he tried to enter, she blacked the door with her small frame. “He just got in the shower. Tell me what you need.”
To back her up, the shower started running in the Wathroom.
“Seems I came at a bad time.” Anthony took an imitation from his suit pocket. “Mr. Turner’s birthday is in a few days. The Turner family sent this
invitation,”
Elana nodded. “Leave it to me. I’ll give it to Theodore when he’s done.”
“Thanks.” Anthony smiled, handed over the invitation, and turned to leave

Theodore, dressed in black, showed no emotion
“What’s wrong? Can’t get in the water? Need my help?” Anthony held out a hand from the water, aiming to pull Theodore in and check for a gunshot wound.
Just then, the maid rushed over. “Mr. Russell”
Theodore turned expressionlessly, “What is it?”
“Mrs. Russell vomited this morning and wants you back immediately, the maid panted.
Theodore dashed toward the elevator. Anthony smiled darkly at the maid. “Are you
u true?”
“I saw her pale face,” the maid said, intimidated.
Anthony waved her off
He thought, “Eliana vomiting could she be pregnant?‘ Anthony’s heart sank. He would never allow Theodore to have a child.
Meanwhile, Theodore raced back to the room. Seeing Eliana in bed, he asked anxiously, “Ellie, are you alright?”
He always called her “Ellie” when nervous. Eliana winked cunningly. “I tricked the maid.”
Relieved, Theodore shook his head with a laugh.
“I just wanted to help,” she whispered. “If you’d gotten in the water, your gunshot wound would’ve been exposed.”
“You did a good job” This time, she’d truly saved him.
As they spoke, someone knocked on the door, “Eliaga, are you unwell? Should we call a doctor?”
It was Anthony. Eliana feigned weakness. “Call Dr. Wilson. He treated me when I had a fever after falling in
