Chapter 2797


    Meanwhile, in BayCorp.


    Er, 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?” Er 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 hadpleted his tasks.


    “Oh, okay then,” Er obediently agreed, much like a well- behaved child.


    Even though she remained cold and distant to him, Er was blessed and fortunate to have her around


    apanying 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 Er. At times, he would act like a


    child, but when the situation called for it, he would alwayse 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 alsoe to


    learn that Er would be exceedinglypliant 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 Er, ready to change his bandage.


    And as expected of him, Er ced his arm on the desk, eagerly awaiting Patricia to tend to his


    wound.


    Patricia noticed that not only was Er 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.’ Er, 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 Er’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 Er’s bandage. As the medication touched the wound, it


    went on to cause a bit of sting, which Er seemed to be able to endure without flinching.


    “Does it not hurt?” Patricia frowned, feeling a little puzzled by his reaction orck thereof.


    “It doesn’t hurt at all when you do it.” Er shook his head and shed 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 Er. After rebandaging his wound, she picked the


    first aid kit up and left.


    “Hehe.” Er 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, Er 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 nced 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


    Er’s bandage for him.


    “It’s fine. I had nothing else to do anyway.” Patricia answered without exining much.


    Charlie, however, did not seem to care that Er had saved her. Strangely enough, she could also


    sense that Charlie might be harboring some feelings of resentment against Er
