Chapter 131

Thisteda declared the duties as he usually did. He was tense, letting Zach's fun-loving nature ease the strain. He tended to her, twisting her cheek again and again, while her legs trembled. He was genuinely afraid of the training he had undergone.

When Elvers spoke of the fire, the things she said were strange. Wine, fruit… The stubble on his chin had grown, his hair and clothes were messy; he looked especially haggard.

"Elvira, you're awake. How do you feel?" Zach looked at her, his eyes full of concern.

Elvira's body felt better, but she felt terrible, especially remembering Gary's kiss. She felt nauseous and wanted to vomit. She quickly removed the needle from her hand and got up to leave the bed.

"Elvira, what are you doing? The doctor said your body needs to be detoxified. Otherwise, it will affect your health." Zach quickly got up and held her shoulders.

"I'm going to take a shower! I'll continue the drip afterward." Elvira had already calmed down. She cherished her body and would not ruin it intentionally. However, the lingering feeling made her too uncomfortable; she had to shower first.

When Zach heard this, he felt his hands weaken. Elvira easily pushed him away and got up to go to the washroom. She quickly took off her clothes and turned on the tap, letting the water wash over her. She took the shower gel and poured almost all of it onto her body, scrubbing hard. Memories of the sticky, viper-like touch made her feel very uncomfortable. She scrubbed again and again, wishing she could scrub her skin off.

Only now did Elvira realize that intimacy could only be shared with someone she liked. If it was someone she disliked, she would feel extremely disgusted just by their touch. Even if that person wasn't ugly, it would definitely not do!

The more Elvira thought about it, the angrier she became. ‘Gary, that bastard, just wait for me. I won’t let you off!’ Elvira thought.

Elvira didn't know that while she was showering, Zach was frantic outside. Elvira had been kidnapped and was very likely to have been violated. Her sudden desire to shower terrified him even more; he thought she had been assaulted.

Zach hated himself for letting her encounter such a terrifying thing. He really wanted to kill himself. Zach's eyes became redder and redder. His hands were clenched so tightly that his veins were bulging. He would definitely find that beast and kill him!

Zach couldn't control himself and rushed into the bathroom. Elvira was shocked by the sound. Her recent experience made her jump at every sound. Zach saw her reaction clearly; his heart ached even more. Elvira only relaxed when she saw that it was Zach, who rushed forward and hugged her desperately.

Elvira hugged him too. At this moment, her emotions had recovered. Although she still felt a little uncomfortable, she needed time to calm down after such a disgusting experience.

"Zach, you're drenched," Elvira hugged him tightly. At this moment, she finally felt safe.

"I'm sorry, Elvira. I didn't protect you well! I'm sorry!" Zach sobbed as he apologized. No matter what happened, he would still love her as much as ever!

Elvira was stunned for a moment. She quickly pushed him away and said, "Don't misunderstand. I wasn't violated!"

Although Gary, that bastard, had kissed her, he hadn't violated her. Elvira couldn't let Zach misunderstand.

Zach stiffened and looked at her in shock. Elvira continued, "That bastard was thinking about it, but he was stopped. Wait for me to go out and tell you. I'm a little cold."

When Zach heard her say she was cold, he quickly took a towel and wrapped it around her before carrying her out of the bathroom.

After going out, he ordered someone to send over a new set of clothes and blow-dried her hair. Then, he got a nurse to reattach the needle. Only then did he hold her hand and ask, "What exactly happened?"

"It's your half-brother. He kidnapped me and tried to rape me and disgust you, but he didn't succeed!"

Elvira didn't hesitate to tell Zach the truth. As for the bullshit deal with the man in black, Elvira would be a fool to abide by it! She was almost ruined by Gary, so why should she still help him hide it? She would be crazy to do so.

That person wanted to use a photo to threaten her not to tell Zach what Gary had done? She wasn't an ancient person and didn't follow the principles of a chaste woman. Moreover, she was a victim. Why should she be threatened by him and abide by his bullshit agreement?

When Zach heard this, Elvira felt the temperature around him drop significantly. His expression was extremely ugly. Elvira quickly got up and wanted to hug him. Only then did Zach react. He held her down and said, "Don't move. Be careful not to hurt yourself."

"I know you're angry, but don't be angry at the expense of your own health. That kind of bastard isn't worth it." Elvira held Zach's hand and advised.

"Elvira, I'll definitely give you an explanation for this!" Zach wished he could tear Gary apart, but he couldn't leave now. He had to accompany Elvira first.

Zach felt guilty and heartbroken for her. This incident started because of him. Gary targeted her because of him! He was the one who let her down!

"I believe you. Zach, don't be angry with that bastard. If you get angry, I'll be the one feeling heartache." Elvira held Zach's hand even tighter.

Zach bent down and kissed her forehead. His love for her was obvious. "Elvira, don't leave me. I'll protect you well in the future."

Elvira was a little surprised. She didn't expect Zach to be afraid that she would leave him. He was so good to her. How could she leave him? She would never leave him, not even because of Gary!

"I will never leave you unless you want to leave me." Elvira gently kissed his cheek back.

"No, I will never leave you! Elvira, I love you!" Zach knew how important Elvira was to him. He loved her more than himself! Elvira's eyes were filled with tenderness and love. She replied, "Zach, I love you too!"

When Zach heard Elvira say that she loved him, his eyes lit up. He felt a warm current flowing through his entire body, comforting his heart that had been torn into pieces. Zach knew that Elvira was the medicine, the best antidote in his life!

He kissed her deeply, interlocking his fingers with hers.

Elvira fell asleep. After Zach asked the nurse to give her an injection, he left the ward; his eyes became extremely cold.
