The nurse adjusted the speed of the IV drip and smiled. “Elijah is with Miss Taylor right now. They are perfect for each other.”
Lily glanced at Eleanor and hummed unnaturally.
Eleanor was eating expressionlessly with her head lowered.
After having the IV drip, Eleanor decided to return to school. After all, she had not finished her work for the competition.
Lily could not persuade her, so she could only send her back to school. “Call me if you need anything.” Lily reminded her.
“Got it.” Eleanor closed the car door and walked toward the school. After just a few steps, she heard a car horn behind her. Turning around, she saw Elijah’s car.
She wanted to ignore him, but Avery seemed to anticipate this and was already waiting at the school gate. Sensing her tough exterior, Avery gently urged, “Miss Brown, you know Elijah’s temper.”
Eleanor laughed self–deprecatingly, pushed his hand away, and was about to leave.
Avery wanted to say something but hesitated.
However, a figure was one step ahead of him and grabbed Eleanor’s wrist.
The familiar presence made Eleanor tremble uncontrollably, filled with a mix of fear and hatred.
She turned around and met Elijah’s displeased dark eyes.
There were not many people at the entrance of the university early in the morning.
Exhausted, Eleanor was pulled into the car by Elijah. No matter how hard she fought, something always held her back. Looking up, she realized he was teasing her as if her struggles were merely a way to get his attention. Too tired to resist any longer, she finally stopped struggling.
Elijah pulled her in front of him, lifting her chin to touch her flushed forehead. “Looks like you still haven’t learned your lesson. Why did you get discharged?” He said it casually as if he hadn’t been the one advocating for her reconciliation outside the ward
Eleanor looked at him, not understanding his behavior.
Seeing that she was silent, Elijah pinched her chin a little harder.
She was like a doll in Elijah’s hands. He could do whatever he wanted.

“Elijah, thank you for your concern. Since you’re so busy, I won’t disturb you.” With that, she wanted to open the door.
Unexpectedly, the car door was locked with a click.
Outside the car, Avery vaguely heard the sound of the door locking, so he tactfully turned around.
The enclosed space reminded Eleanor of the feeling of Mateo pressing down on her.
Elijah sat upright and lit a cigarette at a moderate speed. Soon, the entire car was covered in white fog. making it impossible to see his expression.
However. Eleanor heard his sneer. “You don’t want to admit it after you drugged me and climbed into my bed?”
“It wasn’t me Eleanor refuted, but her tone was helpless.
“Evidence.
She had no evidence. She had no idea what had happened or why she was in Elijah’s room. And… in the end, she did it willingly. Her love and heartlessness turned into evidence against her.
Elijah spat out a mouthful of smoke and turned her face around with a dark gaze. He said impatiently, “Come back with me.”
Eleanor straightened her neck and said, “No, Elijah. Don’t forget you have a fiancée you love deeply. Can you bear to see her suffer?” She was taking a risk, hoping to provoke him into telling her to back off.
Through the thin mist, Elijah’s deep eyes glinted with a cold, dangerous light, causing Eleanor to surrender without a fight.
Just as Eleanor assumed Elijah was angry, he chuckled mysteriously. His handsome face remained calm as he wrapped his arm around her waist, gazing into her eyes.
Their breaths intertwined as Eleanor’s eyelashes fluttered. Her beautiful face, pale and fragile, made her even more captivating
Elijah’s gaze fell on her covered collar, his eyes revealing his intense desire.
He leaned close to Eleanor’s neck and said in a deep, hoarse voice, “Did you consider that I have a fiancée when you slept with me? Eleanor, don’t you want me?”
Eleanor swallowed with difficulty. Almost instantly, she felt Elijah’s warm lips.
Elijah breathed heavily, his eyes filled with affection as he kissed her passionately.
Thinking about how Mateo had touched Eleanor’s chest, he felt an urge to leave his mark there.
