Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 481

Chapter 481 Ten Days Without Intimacy

“It almost went deep into the bone, but luckily it didn’t,” Benedict remarked as he took a look at the medical scanner.

“Who did this to you?” Anastasia clenched her teeth in rage. First, Aliona kidnapped her son and then, she hurt Elliot. If Aliona was in front of her, Anastasia would kill her on the spot.

“It’s fine. I just need to get some rest.” Elliot reached out and took Anastasia’s hand in his, his eyes filled with consolation.

He is the one who got hurt.

“Don’t worry, Miss Tillman. President Presgrave is not as fragile as you think. He is someone who has traveled into the hinterland of the rainforest and returned alive.” Benedict quickly chimed in. Then, he added, “It seems that the electronic chip that was implanted in your body is truly top-notch, as it remained intact after so many years.”

Anastasia’s heart tightened at that moment. Elliot has been implanted with an electronic chip?

When she turned to look at him, Elliot rolled up his sleeve and showed her the practically invisible scar on his forearm. “When Richard, Arthur, and I parted ten years ago, we all had a chip inserted. The other two will not stand by while one individual is in peril,” he explained.

After he finished speaking, Elliot said helplessly, “Rey made a big deal out of it. Actually, there was no need to get them here.”

In contrast, Anastasia felt that if Rey hadn’t called for help, she would have been the first to collapse at that moment.

“I might not be able to see you now if it weren’t for them.” She was really grateful to Elliot’s two buddies.

“So, you were extremely worried about me this time?” Elliot’s eyes were filled with an affectionate smile, as if he had finally tested her feelings for him.

“Don’t let me worry so much in the future, or I’ll leave you directly, so I don’t have to be on tenterhooks,” Anastasia warned him gently.

This time was because he tried to save her son, so she forgave him.

“Okay.” After that, Elliot bowed his head and looked at Benedict, who was still securing the gauze. Why isn’t he done yet?

At this point, even Benedict was eager to finish the treatment, as he had had enough of the couple being lovey-dovey. Finally, he got up after securing the gauze and instructed, “Elliot, I’m leaving now. I’ll return in three days to replace the dressing. Don’t let the wound come into contact with water, and rest for a week. As for the next ten days… it’s better to avoid any vigorous activity.”
