She Got A Better Man

"That won't do. Elvira likes to eat the dishes I cook. I still have to cook for Elvira. I don't need you tomorrow. You can go to work. I'll be back soon." Skylar left quickly with her bag.

She was walking too fast. Zach was afraid that she might sprain Her ankle.

After closing the door, Zach walked back and sat beside Elvira. He looked at her arm and asked, "Are you thirsty? I make a drink for you."

I've already eaten a lot of chicken soup. I'm not thirsty at all now, Elvira shook her head. She was already full because of her mother-in-law. As expected of her biological mother-in-law. Skylar was too good to her. "Then what do you want to eat? Isn't it too boring to sit like this and do nothing?" Zach was worried that she would feel bored.

"Yes. So, let me go to the office. That way, I won't be bored," Elviza quickly said.

"No way-

You're injured. What if your wound inflames? If you're bored, watch a drama. I'll cut some fruits for you to eat," Zach said as he turned on the television.

"Forget it, I'd better deal with my work." Elvira's arm was burning with pain. If she did something, she could divert her attention and make her feel less painful. Hearing her words, Zach frowned and asked with heartache, "Does your wound hurt?"

Elvira didn't expect him to be so sharp. She didn't say anything, but he knew that her wound hurt. She didn't deny it.

Her denial would only make him feel that she was forcing herself. She nodded. "It does hurt a little. I can distract myself if I do something.

Zach's frown deepened. His hands were clenched into fists. If he could, he wanted to get hurt in her place.

"Hey, it only hurts a little. It's alright. Why don't you make me a cup of drink? I want to drink it." Elvira held his hand and squeezed it.

Zach's fist immediately relaxed. He smiled and said, "Alright, what do you want to drink?"

"Orange juice." Elvira smiled and ordered a glass of juice. It seems I can't just let myself have something to do. I have to let him have something to do, too.

After Zach left, Cole called. Elvira picked up. "Cole, what's the matter?"

Cole was silent. Elvira asked again. Cole asked, "Does your injury have anything to do with Carmen? Did she do it on purpose?"

"Why would you think so? I'm sure she didn't mean to. Everything was a last-minute decision, and there was no preparation beforehand. She didn't know I was going to take her out," said Elvira.

"Maybe she wasn't prepared for this. There's bound to be a chance for her. Also, why is your assistant so coincidentally allergic? Cole's chest was heaving up and down. When he learned that Elvira had beeg shot, he was about to explode. "That's impossible, Cole. Don't think much about it. Besides, I only suffered a superficial injury. It's not a big deal. I'll have to trouble you to deal with the company's matters." Elvira did not want Cole to think much.

"I understand. Rest well. Don't worry about the company. I'll help you take care of it." Cole hung up the phone after saying that Elvira could tell that he was angry and suspected Carmen.

Dec

Elvira rubbed her forehead helplessly. Cole's temper is even woe than I had expected. He used to be very obedient. Ever since he woke up from the fire, his temperament had changed. He is no longer the obedient little cutie from before! Elvira suddenly felt a little melancholic.

Zach came with the juice. "A call from Cole?"

"Yes, he asked me about my injury and work." Elvira put down her phone, smiled, and took the orange juice from him. Zach immediately retracted his hand and said, "I'll help you drink."

Elvira was speechless..

"I'm not that fragile, she protested in a small voice.

"You can't use force with your right hand," Zach insisted on feeding her.

Elvira had no choice but to let him be. She then drank the orange juice through a straw.

Zach received a call and needed to go out for a while. He frowned slightly. Elvira could tell he was in a difficult position and said, "Go ahead. I promise I won't do anything before you come back. I'll watch TV" Elvira turned on the television to reassure him.

"TI be back soon. Don't go anywhere. Just stay at home," Zach reminded her worriedly. Now, he was afraid. He would feel uneasy if she was not in his line of sight..

I promise I won't go anywhere," Elvira immediately assured him. She kissed his cheek, indicating that he could go and deal with his business.

Zach couldn't bear to leave her, but it was something important. He got up and went to change his clothes. Before leaving. Zach instructed Elvira worriedly. He kissed her before he was willing to leave. Zach told the bodyguards to protect Elvira well after coming out. He said if anything happened to Elvira again, he would fire

ther

The bodyguards did not dare to be careless. They were all on high alert.

After Zach left, Elvira turned off the television. She was in so much pain that she was not in the mood to watch television.

Elvira leaned against the sofa in a daze. Her phone rang. She picked it up and saw that it was an unknown number. She picked it up. "Who is that?"

"This is Leonard. I'm downstairs. Open the door for me when I get upstairs, Leonard said.

"You came to my house? What do you want?" Elvira immediately sat up straight and questioned.

"Don't you want to know who's trying to kill you?" Leonard hung up

Elvira frowned as she looked at her phone. Her mind was in a mess. She suspected that the person who shot her the second time was not the same group of people as the Miller family.

The doorbell rang. Elvira stood up and opened the door. The bodyguards and Leonard, who looked like a repairman, stood at the door. A bodyguard asked warily, "Mrs. Gilbert, did you call a repairman?"

"Yes, I called him. Let him come in and fix the water pipe. You guys go ahead and do your job" Elvira still let Leonard in. The door closed. Leonard took off his hat and looked around the room, which was quite cozy.

If you

have something to say, say it quickly. My wound hurts now, so I don't have time to entertain you." Elvira walked back

to the sofa and sat down. She did not look too good.

"Is this how you treat the person who saved your life? Leonard down on the sofa and poured himself a glass of water.

"At most, we're even." Elvira said calmly,

"If you put it that way... it's not wrong" Leonard took a sip of water and smiled.

"Speaking of which, why did you coincidentally appear there to save me that day? Don't you have to make yourself clear?* Elvira looked at him warily and suspiciously. It would be too much of a coincidence if he said he happened to appear there. There must be something wrong with this abnormality. Who knows what he was thinking? Elvira thought.

"It's not a coincidence. I've been secretly protecting you," Leonard replied nonchalantly as if he were talking about a trivialnovelbin

matter.
