Elias’ Crimes and Punishments of Romance

Chapter 246

Chapter 246 Please Help Mr Winters With the Dressing

After seeing the unquestioning look in her father’s eyes, Stephanie finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“Don’t worry, Stephanie,” said Jack, patting his daughter’s shoulder. “I will watch over him for you. I will only give him what he wants when he wholeheartedly loves you, or he can forget about getting anything.” I’ve deceived him, right? Phew… Stephanie couldn’t help breathing a sigh of relief inwardly while appearing impatient. “Do you really think this will work, Dad? Even if you can control him for a while, can you control him forever? Are you going to wait until he’s old to give him what he wants? Do you think he has that patience? If you fulfill the promise after we get married, do you think we can stop him from keeping other women outside?”

It would be perfect if she could persuade her father to call off the engagement.

At that, Jack pondered for a long time before he slowly said, “Just focus on preparing for the engagement. ceremony. Leave the rest to me. Elias Winters must become my son-in-law. He has no choice. The Winters Family now depends solely on him. With such a large family business, he needs assistance. As such, he won’t dare betray us for the next ten years at least.”

Stephanie was somewhat speechless. She couldn’t figure out why her father was so persistent.

Suddenly, she thought of Crisp, who was still living in that dark, cold, abandoned factory. She wondered what would happen at the end of the month. If Crisp could hold on, would Elias be able to fulfill his promise?

Amanda felt an inexplicable ball of rage surging within her after returning home. I swear, the Allegra father and daughter were deliberately finding faults and embarrassing me!

She believed that Stephanie said those things just to test her, wanting to see if she and Elias had really ended things.

If that was the case, Amanda would be even angrier. It was simply unfathomable.

Fed up with Stephanie’s unwarranted harassment, she grabbed her phone and told Elias to keep his fiancée in check. However, at the thought that he might still be suffering in the hospital right then, she put the phone down.

It was sulfuric acid, after all. His entire back was covered in wounds. How could it not hurt?! I wonder what he’ll do with Grace and if she’ll continue to pop up in the future…

Little did she know that at this very moment, Elias wasn’t recovering in the hospital at all. He was in the company, attending a high-level meeting.

After a three-hour-long meeting, Elias returned to his office at Winters Enterprise.

Having sat forcefully for three hours straight, unable to lean back in the chair, his back was now burning in pain.

“Mr. Winters, shall I call a private doctor to apply the medicine for you? A clumsy man like me can’t do this properly.” Yacob said, looking at the pile of ointment and disinfectant, feeling a headache coming on. How could he, an uncouth man, handle such a task?! If he accidentally hurt Elias, he would be the one

getting scolded.

However, Elias unbuttoned his suit jacket and shirt before saying curtly. “It’s already too late. You do it.”

Yacob couldn’t help but swallow nervously. Elias was asking the impossible of him. He’d take being ordered to stay up all night over this any day.

Alas, Elias was already shirtless, sitting on the side, and waiting to be treated.

Yacob glanced at the wounds on his back, which were truly distressing. His boss sure had paid a heavy price for saving the damsel in distress.

“Hurry up!” Elias was starting to become impatient.

“Oh, yes, right away.” Yacob picked up the disinfectant and cotton swab, looking worried.

Suddenly, the office door was pushed open, and Natasha entered, only to be stumped by what she was seeing.

Elias instinctively picked up his shirt and put it on. He disregarded the pain from his wounds, frowning as he buttoned his shirt up. “Do you really think you’re Mrs. Winters, coming in without knocking?” Elias scoffed.

Natasha lowered her head in embarrassment. “I’m sorry, Mr. Winters. There’s an urgent document that, requires your signature, and I forgot about it. I really didn’t mean to. I’ll go out and knock again.”

With that, she turned around to leave, but Elias said impatiently, “Forget about it. Give it to me.”

Natasha could only give Elias the document. Then, he picked up his pen and signed his name with swift

strokes.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Winters. I’ll make stire to knock next time,” said Natasha, preparing to leave with the document. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Unexpectedly, Yacob called her back and said, “Miss Knox, please wait. Um, can you help Mr. Winters with the medicine? An uncouth man like me can’t handle this task. I’ll deliver the document for you.”

At that, Yacob took the document from Natasha and left without looking back, for he didn’t dare look at Elias’ expression. He wouldn’t doubt it looked ugly. However, he really couldn’t handle a task like applying. medicine. He’d accept it even if he’d be punished later.

The office door closed, leaving only Natasha and Elias in the room.

“Are you injured, Mr. Winters?” Natasha suddenly remembered seeing blood stains on Elias’ back when she entered earlier.

“I’m warning you-don’t talk about it to anyone, or you can say goodbye to your job.” Elias’ gaze turned

cold.

He was surprised the actress Lazarus sent remained in the company when he had long instructed HR to dismiss Natasha using whatever reason.

Natasha nodded in acknowledgment. “Let me dress your wound, Mr. Elias. I promise I won’t say a thing.”

Elias hesitated for a moment, debating. It was difficult for him to apply the medicine himself, and he didn’t have time to go to the hospital. Yacob, that b*stard, had slipped away too. If the wounds weren’t

hey might get infected.

“Hurry up. I have another meeting to attend,” the man said and took off his shirt.

Natasha’s eyes were drawn to his sexy chest muscles and abs. In that instant, she was truly astounded, her heart pounding.

Elias turned around to show a brutally wounded back. Were they burns? Scalds? They weren’t severe, but they were everywhere.

“How did you get your injuries, Mr. Winters?” Natasha couldn’t help asking. “What happened-

“Don’t ask questions. Just do your job, apply the medicine, and leave, remarked Elias as he closed his eyes, no longer wanting to answer any of her questions.

Natasha could only comply and carefully disinfect and apply the medicine, afraid of causing Elias any pain.

After spending ten minutes applying the medicine, Elias opened his eyes and quickly put on his shirt and suit jacket.

“Mr. Winters, keeping the wounds covered like this may hinder the healing process!” Natasha couldn’t help reminding him. “You should take a few days off-”

“You can leave now.” Elias returned to his desk and picked up some documents, flipping through a few

pages.

Natasha nodded and reluctantly turned to leave.

Unfortunately for her, Elias suddenly asked, “Haven’t I told you to resign? What are you still doing here?”

“I really need this job, Mr. Winters. Please let me stay. Natasha turned around, looking pitiful and helpless. Her vulnerable appearance would tug at the heartstrings of any man, but not Elias.

“Resign, and I will recommend you to other companies where your salary will be twice what you earn here,” he said.
