My Wife Act Differently Behind Me
Chapter 2797

Chapter 2797

Meanwhile, in BayCorp.

Ellar, who had just sorted through the stack of documents in his hands, saw how empty the desk was and could not help but to furrow his brows.

'Why are there so few documents today?" Ellar asked out of curiosity.

"You've sorted through plenty already. It's time for you to take a break now," Patricia insisted coldly the moment she came in and saw that he had completed his tasks.

"Oh, okay then," Ellar obediently agreed, much like a well-behaved child.

Even though she remained cold and distant to him, Ellar was blessed and fortunate to have her around accompanying him. He really hoped life would continue the way it was, and for that, he even wished that his injuries would take longer to heal.

Patricia shook her head in helplessness, not knowing what to do with Ellar. At times, he would act like a child, but when the situation called for it, he would always come on top.

Sometimes, he could even appear to be a little overbearing and shrewd. Yet, he would often revert to his good ol' childlike temperament once she paid attention to him. Moreover, she had also come to learn that Ellar would become exceedingly compliant and obedient in her presence.

After issuing a sigh, Patricia maintained her tone of indifference and stated, "It's time to change your bandage."

With that, she brought a medical kit up to Ellar, ready to change his bandage. And as expected of him, Ellar placed his arm on the desk, eagerly awaiting Patricia to tend to his wound.

Patricia noticed that not only was Ellar feeling no pain. He also looked somewhat happy.

Because of this, she could not help but roll her eyes at him.' He's injured. What is there to be happy about? I can never figure out what's going on in his head.'

Ellar, on the other hand, felt that the injury had provided an opportunity for both him and her to grow closer. He even felt that he was fortunate that it was him who had taken the hit, not her.

When Patricia unwrapped the gauze and inspected Ellar's wound, she furrowed her brows. Although the cut was getting better and had stopped bleeding, it had not fully healed because of how deep it was. After disinfecting it, Patricia carefully changed Ellar's bandage. As the medication touched the wound, it went on to cause a bit of sting, which Ellar seemed to be able to endure without flinching.

"Does it not hurt?" Patricia frowned, feeling a little puzzled by his reaction or lack thereof.

"It doesn't hurt at all when you do it." Ellar shook his head and flashed her a foolish grin.

What Patricia did not know was that there was no way it would hurt because she was there to take good care of him. If anything, joy was all he could feel at that moment.

Patricia could only roll her eyes again and ignore Ellar. After rebandaging his wound, she picked the first aid kit up and left.

"Hehe." Ellar looked at the neatly bandaged gauze and chuckled like the silly idiot he was.

'It feels so good to have someone take care of me. Is she going to stay with me forever if my wound never heals?' he wondered to himself.

However, by the very next second, Ellar shook his head and killed the thought. 'I can't have such thoughts. She might stay and take care of me if my wound does not heal, but I can't let her do this forever. Well, I should focus on recovering as soon as possible, so I won't have to put her through the trouble of taking care of me anymore.'

Meanwhile, outside the door.

Patricia was shaking her head in exasperation.

"What are you doing?" Charlie, who had appeared out of nowhere, asked.

After looking up in surprise to see Charlie standing right in front of her, she asked, "What brought you here?"

"I was just passing by, so I came to check things out." Charlie glanced at the medical kit in Patricia's hand and frowned. "That's the secretary's job."

He could not figure out why Patricia had to change Ellar's bandage for him.

"It's fine. I had nothing else to do anyway." Patricia answered without explaining much.

Charlie, however, did not seem to care that Ellar had saved her. Strangely enough, she could also sense that Charlie might be harboring some feelings of resentment against Ellar.
