Chapter 18

Eliza couldn’t resist his kiss at all.

She felt like drowning with every administration of his lips, until

“Ouch!”

When Beau grabbed her shoulder, Eliza couldn’t help but gasp in pain.

The romantic atmosphere disappeared instantly. Beau stood up and looked at her with a frown. “What’s wrong?”

Even though he was led astray by his emotions just now. Beau was still careful enough to avoid her injured wrist.

Why did she give off such a strong reaction just from touching her shoulders?

“I’m fine.”

Eliza was in so much pain that she couldn’t get up from the bed.

Beau’s hand was placed directly on the wound on her shoulder just now.

Noticing that something was amiss, Beau reached out and tore off her clothes.

The white gauze on Eliza’s shoulder was stained with blood.

Beau widened his eyes in shock.

“Did Michael Lewis do this to you?” “No, it wasn’t him.”

“I accidentally injured myself while at work.” Eliza felt uneasy with her left shoulder exposed in the open air. She wanted to get up but Beau held her back.

Carefully, he took off the stained gauze.

Although the wound was not deep, it was still a horrifying sight.

He took the medicine out of Eliza’s bag and applied it to her injury. He frowned and said, “You should resign.”

Beau applied the ointment softly on her wound. “I’m not Jay Carr, you know?”

“You don’t have to work so hard to make money.”

“After resigning, you can stay at home to take care of Braint and Demarion. You won’t have to suffer from such injuries anymore. The kids will be happy as well.”

After he was done, he closed the medicine box and said, “I can give you money.”

Eliza quickly shook her head. “I really enjoy my work.”

Beau narrowed his eyes and sneered, “How can you say that when you’re injured like this?”

“It was an accident.” Eliza smiled awkwardly. “I don’t get injured at work most of the time.” She looked at Beau with a serious expression, “I can still take care of the kids while working.”

She said in a determined tone and an expression glimmering with hope, “I like my job. I also like the feeling   of fighting for my own career.”
