His Dangerous Love

Chapter 36 Meet Your Request Once

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.

It looked a bit unsightly.

"Please don't look at it. No matter how much you look, you won't see any beauty."

Jefferson lazily leaned back on the sofa, lighting a cigarette between his teeth.

As the flame flickered, Elianna's heart trembled along with it.

Elianna knew that Jefferson was good-looking, with a hint of wickedness and an air of nobility, mixed with an untamed wildness that no one could restrain.

But he was too dangerous. Ordinary people hadn't even gotten close before dying halfway.

Jefferson blew out a puff of smoke towards her, "Did you get scared silly?"

"I'm fine."

As the cigarette burned halfway, Jefferson casually said, "Since you knew that girl wasn't easy to deal with, why didn't you just run away?"

Even though she had discussed it with Case, no one could predict what would happen when the door was closed.

There was no need to gamble with her own life.

Elianna paused and looked at him, "I heard you were capturing her, and I wanted to share your worries."

"Hmph."

Jefferson sneered, feigning indifference.

"Tell me, what do you expect me to do for you?"

He had known from the beginning that Elianna sought him out for a reason, but she had been too scared to speak up.

Or perhaps she thought it was a losing proposition and didn't want to do it anymore.

In the past, he didn't bother when Elianna didn't mention anything.

But now, he suddenly felt a bit interested.

Elianna was taken aback. Did Jefferson mean that he was willing to help her?

Happiness came too suddenly, and Elianna couldn't believe it. She cautiously asked, "Jefferson, what do you mean...?"

"Meet your request once."

Jefferson turned his head to look at her, "I'll give you a chance to make a request."

Elianna's heart stirred.

She wanted to bring her family out of the sanatorium. She wanted to find the best doctor to treat Hector. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

She wanted to annul the engagement with Asher. She wanted to investigate the events of the past and bring justice for her father.

But no matter which one, it would reveal that she wasn't Ms. Gentry, but an impostor.

Her situation was too complicated, with the Larsen family, the Gentry family, and the Gibson family in Elfold, all of them causing major trouble.

And then there was Jefferson. Although he said he would help her, could she really rely on him?

Even Brice couldn't control him, so why would she have any reason to trust him?

After experiencing so much, Elianna understood one thing.

When you couldn't offer equivalent repayment, the other person's gift was like drinking poison to quench your thirst.

After much consideration, Elianna made a request.
