Chapter 1808 Uncontrollable Desire
Facing the woman he deeply loved, it felt as if the whole world had faded away.
For a moment, Elisa was unable to react. Meanwhile, Gareth was overjoyed, thinking Elisa didn't dislike him or might even have feelings for him because she didn't push him away.
Just as he became more emotional and wanted to kiss Elisa more fervently, Elisa pulled herself away from him.
"Sorry… I was abrupt. I…" Gareth didn't know how to explain. It was a mix of impulse and deliberation.
Elisa didn't know what to say. The scene of their lips touching filled her mind.
Gareth's desire for Elisa became stronger as he saw her in a gaze, but he managed to control himself.
His expression was complicated when the doctor started dressing his wound. Furrowing his brows, he didn't complain about the pain but squeezed Elisa's hand occasionally. Although Gareth's action didn't hurt Elisa, her heart ached for him.
Elisa felt uneasy seeing the doctor's inept handling of the wound. Finally, when Gareth squeezed her hand again, she spoke up.
"Please let me take over." She said to the doctor.
Startled, the doctor wiped away his sweat and quickly stepped away. Dressing the wound of the great Mr. Wickam was a stressful task, not to mention his intimidating aura. Just the fact that everyone in the room was watching made it difficult.
The doctor even thought Gareth's sturdy subordinates would beat him up if Gareth winced in pain.
He knew his performance wasn't at its best under such immense pressure, but he couldn't simply chicken out. So, when Elisa offered to treat Gareth's wound, the doctor felt like she was an angel sent to his rescue.
Elisa took over the cotton swabs and started carefully treating the wound.
Gareth gave Thomas a look. Perceiving Gareth's intention, Thomas let out a cough and quietly led the others out, leaving Elisa and Gareth in the spacious room. The room was so quiet that they could hear each other's breathing.
Elisa concentrated on applying ointment to Gareth's wound while Gareth fixed his gaze on her.
It was a harmonious moment. How Gareth wished it could last forever.
Gareth couldn't tell if it was because he was too distracted staring at Elisa or if Elisa was indeed more skillful, but he felt less pain when she dressed his wound.
He only had a stinging sensation when the alcohol was applied, and the level of discomfort was negligible.
It was only after finishing Gareth's wound did Elisa realize the others had left, and she noticed their ambiguous postures.
Recalling the kiss in the car, she blushed to the root of her hair.
Gareth stared at her intently and wanted to make playful remarks, but before he could say anything, Elisa packed up the medical kit and said, "I should go and prepare dinner…"
Gareth swiftly grasped her hand. "You’re not too upset. It means there's still a place for me in your heart. Am I right?"
