Chapter 18
Elvira was focused on Zach's injury and didn't notice his change. She kneeled before him, removing his shirt carefully. His arm had turned red and the blister was horrifying. She hugged Zach as she cried. Zach panicked, hugging her back. "Don't cry. It'll be fine in a few days.
"Sorry. It's my fault. Zach, you're the first person who protected me," Elvira choked.
Zach's heart ached. His arms tightened around her. His voice was hoarse but firm. "Elvira, I will always protect you."
Elvira cried harder. She had never allowed herself to cry, but today, she couldn't stop. Zach's heart broke for her. His eyes darkened. Those who hurt Elvira must pay.
Elvira pushed Zach away, wiped her tears, and drove them to the hospital.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
"No need to go to the hospital. Just find a pharmacy and buy some burn cream," Zach told her.
Elvira had also been burned before and knew Zach was right. She hurriedly found a pharmacy, bought some medication, and applied it to him in the car.
Zach couldn't take his eyes off Elvira. She even blew on his injury so it would hurt less. His heart melted. It was strange and wonderful. Because of his childhood, it was hard to trust anyone and he disliked women. But Elvira found a way quickly into his heart, which even he found it unbelievable.
When Elvira was done, she wanted to touch his wound but was afraid of hurting him. Zach pulled her into his lap.
"Does it hurt?" Elvira stroked his chest gently, her eyes still red.
"Yes," Zach responded honestly. He held her hand still

"Do you need painkillers?" Elvira asked anxiously.
Yes, Zach replied. He dragged Elvira close and kissed her. Elvira's eyes went wide and she froze. Zach had Elvira hug him as he kissed her. That was the best painkiller for him.
The kisses lasted forever. They were so intense Elvira wanted to escape, afraid of his dominance and his passion. But Zach refused to let her go. He gave her time to breathe and then continued kissing. Elvira's eyes grew misty and her body went limp.
When Elvira felt him harden under her, she tried to move away. Zach held her close, his lips moving downwards. "Zach," Elvira called out. She knew what he was going to do, but he was injured. Wasn't he simply torturing himself? As though knowing what she was thinking, Zach bit her lightly.
Elvira's voice shook. "Z-Zach." Her
Her tone was soft and her
eyes were seductive.
"Do you feel bad?" Elvira looked at Zach's tormented expression and touched his face.
"Yeah... but I'm also happy. Zach closed his eyes and breathed in deeply.
Elvira gritted her teeth. "I'll help you."
Zach's eyes opened at once. He stared at Elvira, making sure he hadn't misheard. Thrilled, he hugged Elviraa and kissed her.
When it was o
over, Zach was surprised by Elvira's boldness. Elvira's face was red, and she didn't dare to look at him.
Zach took Elvira's hand and kissed it. His voice was hoarse. "I like it, Elvira."
Elvira's checks grew redder. She glared at him and asked, "Is your pain better?"
"I don't feel any at all" Zach grinned affectionately at her.
Elvira was speechless. Men would always be men.
Back home, Elvira told Zach to shower and change. Elvira went to change too. Her clothes were wrinkled and his were worse. The lingering sensation on her hand made her blush and her heart race. But his joyous expression just now made her heart melt.
Elvira wanted to leave, but Zach didn't let her. He pulled her to the sofa, hugged her, and kissed her again.
"We have to visit Tracy," Elvira reminded him. She was shocked at how insatiable he was.
"Grandma would be happy knowing what we're doing. Elvira, I'm hurting again." Zach pulled out his best excuse. Elvira surrendered easily.
The two of them made out for a long time. It was noon when they finally left. Elvira's face was red while Zach was calm, as though he hadn't just kissed her passionately.
After visiting Tracy, Zach received a phone call and had to go to work. Elvira told him she would take care of Tracy.
Tracy sensed the change in them and couldn't stop smiling. She even ate more for lunch.
After Tracy slept, Elvira went looking for Olivia. Olivia didn't have any consultations scheduled for the afternoon. She hugged Elvira when she saw her. "Elvira, you're amazing. How did you snag Zach so quickly? Spill! How's he in bed?" Olivia asked excitedly. She had admired the photo of them kissing. They looked so good together. "Nonsense. We just started dating." Elvira laughed and smacked her.
Olivia looked at the red mark on Elvira's neck and teased, "What's that on your neck then? Mosquito bite? That must be one big mosquito."
Elvira smacked her. The two of them joked around before Elvira brought up the real reason for her visit. "Did you prepare the medicine I told you to?"
