Chapter 36 Meet Your Request Once
Time rewound back a moment.
As Elianna received the bottled water, she silently mouthed the words, instructing Case to barge in after ten seconds.
In the instant the door closed, the girl indeed made her move.
Elianna was prepared, swiftly evading the attack. Just as the girl was about to strike again, Case silently sneaked in from behind and ambushed her, subduing her.
"Impressive."
Upon hearing this, Albert looked at Elianna with newfound respect, giving her a thumbs up, "Truly deserving to be Jeff's woman."
Their relationship was so blatantly revealed, causing Elianna to instinctively glance at Jefferson.
Jefferson didn't seem to mind, beckoning her with a wave of his hand, "Come over."
After a moment of hesitation, Elianna walked over.
"Are you hurt?"
Jefferson's gaze fell on her arm.
Elianna nodded, "Just a scratch."
After all, the girl wasn't an ordinary person, so a little injury was normal.
Jefferson glanced at the girl on the ground and gestured to Case with a nod of his chin.
Understanding his intent, Case picked up the dagger from the ground and aimed another strike at the same spot on the girl.
This strike was much heavier than Elianna's, directly cutting through to the bone and grazing the bone gap.
The girl let out a muffled groan and she was covered in a cold sweat.
Jefferson waved his hand dismissively, "Take her away and deal with it."
The girl was dragged away, casting a resentful gaze towards Elianna.
Why? She had believed it all, so why did she suddenly turn hostile? Where did things go wrong?
However, she would never have the chance to find out.
-
"It hurts."
The cotton swab pressed against her wound, causing Elianna to involuntarily cry out in pain.
"Endure it."
Jefferson's movements were far from gentle.
Elianna couldn't bear the friction anymore, and she tactfully suggested, "Maybe... I should ask someone else to help me with this."
"Okay."
Jefferson was surprisingly easy to talk to, and Elianna found it hard to believe.
"After I take care of this, I'll make a cut for you to let someone else bandage it."
"...No need to trouble it."
The wound wasn't deep, and it just looked intimidating, with a long gash that could be wrapped with gauze.
