Chapter 283

How could Maurice have a scar on his chest? Strangely, when Eliana touched the scar, it felt exactlylike Preston’s.

Eliana couldn’t help but touch him more to confirm her suspicion.

Maurice noticed it right away. “You just got out of an accident and now you want to flirt with a man,” heteased. “What are you thinking, Eliana?”

“Maurice, why is there a scar on your chest?” Eliana asked, raising her head and looking intently athim. “Why haven’t I seen it before?”

Damn it! He was far too reckless.

Maurice realized immediately that he had just exposed himself.

For the time being, he couldn’t let Eliana discover his two identities.

Maurice grabbed her hands that were touching his chest.

“Maurice! Let go of me!”

Since Eliana couldn’t break free from his grip, she then tried to get closer to him and see the scar onhis chest clearly in the beam of the flashlight.

Suddenly, the entire building’s power was restored, and the lights were turned on.

Eliana had been in the dark for quite some time. Her eyes were uncomfortable when she suddenly sawthe bright light, and she closed them reflexively.

The medical staff came up to her in time and blindfolded her eyes, freeing her from Maurice’s hold.

“Miss, please close your eyes so they don’t get hurt.”

As she fell into darkness again, Eliana was in a panic all of a sudden. Instinctively, she wanted to beheld by Maurice.

“Don’t be afraid. I’m always here.”

Eliana calmed down instantly as she felt her hand being gently held by a big hand, as if she had founda harbor to protect her. She felt indescribably relieved.

The ambulance drove all the way to the hospital. Eliana was soon brought to a VIP ward for a thoroughexamination.

Maurice had been with her the entire time.

The doctor removed her blindfold and carefully examined her.

Maurice stood by the bed and asked nervously, “How is she, doctor?”

“Don’t worry, the patient is fine. She was just scared. In fact, she can now go through the dischargeformalities at any time,” the doctor said with a smile.

Eliana wasn’t even listening to the doctor as she was preoccupied with the thoughts of Maurice’s scaron his chest. As soon as her eyes adjusted to the light, she moved closer to Maurice, who wasstanding beside the bed, and reached out to remove his clothes.

Were young people nowadays so daring? Was he invisible in her eyes?

The doctor had never witnessed anything like this before and immediately coughed in shock.

“Ahem, we’re still in the hospital. Behave yourself.”

Maurice held Eliana in place with one hand. But he didn’t use too much force because of her condition.He just restrained her from taking his clothes off.

His action just made Eliana more suspicious. She was so adamant that she insisted on seeing hischest with her naked eyes.

She struggled so hard that Maurice could no longer control her with one hand.

“Stop it. My hand hurts.”

Maurice frowned, one hand drooping by his leg. It hadn’t moved since he entered the hospital.

“You’re lying! You won’t fool me.”

Eliana demanded to see his chest. She accidentally hit Maurice’s left hand while struggling.

“Ohh…” Maurice gasped. His face twisted.

Only then did Eliana notice that Maurice’s left hand was drooping abnormally as if he had lost the abilityto lift it.

She stopped struggling.

Seeing this, the doctor walked forward and gently lifted Maurice’s left hand. He examined it with aserious expression on his face.

Eliana couldn’t help but get nervous.

“Sir, you are so reckless! Your left arm has been severely injured and may be broken. It must betreated as soon as possible. Come with me so we can get an X-ray to see what the problem is.”

“I’m fine.” Maurice regained his cool, but sweat dripped from his forehead.

It was the first time that the doctor had seen a patient with a bone injury, who remained calm.

If the female patient hadn’t been pressing, he wouldn’t have told anyone that he was in pain.

The doctor crossly took Maurice away, leaving Eliana alone on the bed.

Maurice was badly injured.

Did he get injured while saving her?
