As Elliot spoke, Richard, who was holding him, stiffened. “Don’t pretend to be all strong right now,” he said.

“I promised her that I will walk to her.” Again, Elliot reached out and pushed Richard away. I must keep my promise to her.

After letting Elliot go, Arthur walked to Richard’s side, thereafter crossing his arms and saying incomprehensibly, “Women sure are troublesome.”

“You’re right.” Richard nodded in agreement.

Therefore, the fact that the two of them were still single was not without reason.

When Anastasia realized that Elliot insisted on walking toward her, she ran over. She hugged him tightly and then stretched out her arms to support him. Her tears were streaming down her face as she sniffled, “Your leg is hurt. Stop walking.”

“You said you would marry me as soon as I walk back, so does that count?” Elliot stared at her with a serious look, indicating that he had done it.

Anastasia nodded and replied, “I always mean what I say, but your injury—”

“It’s not a big deal. It will get better in a few days,” he comforted her. Then, he turned around and said, “I’ll introduce you to my two best friends, Arthur Weiss and Richard Lloyd. They are two of my closest friends that I haven’t seen in years, and it is thanks to them for coming to help this time,” he explained.

The two men, who were always high up, stood two meters away and suddenly became unable to socialize. One scratched his head, and the other waved his hand. Both looked at Anastasia and said in unison, “Hello, sister-in-law!”

Hearing that, Anastasia was thunderstruck. “Hello!” she squeaked, her cheeks crimson.

The three of them were about the same age, but Elliot was one year older than Richard and Arthur.

Hence, the title of sister-in-law.

However, when the two of them noticed Jared, who stood next to Elliot and Anastasia, they immediately exchanged a shocked glance. On the way back, they already heard about how Elliot pursued Anastasia and were aware that she had a child.

However, they suddenly thought of something at this moment. Why does Anastasia’s son look identical to Elliot?

Right then, Elliot turned around and beckoned at them. “Come in and have a rest before you go,” he said.

When Richard was about to take a step forward, Arthur tugged at his arm and stopped him. “We have got stuff to do today. We will come again tomorrow,” Arthur stated.

After speaking, he pulled Richard into the car, and the four armored vehicles turned around and left.

Elliot didn’t urge them to stay. They purposefully allowed room for him and Anastasia to get together, which was also a tacit understanding between the buddies.

Eyes reddened, a guilty Jared asked as he hugged Elliot’s other uninjured leg, “How is your leg, Mr. Presgrave?”

To him, Elliot’s accident was all because of saving him.

Elliot’s big palm gently caressed Jared’s head. Looking at Jared’s tears made his heart tighten. Jared’s sorrow could instantly pass on to him, and it was as if there was a blood bond between them.

“Jared, stop crying. Let’s get him into the house first,” Anastasia comforted the boy. After this incident, it seemed that her son had grown up and became more sensible now.

Soon after, Elliot’s personal doctor, Benedict Palmer, arrived, and that was when it dawned on Anastasia that she didn’t actually know the people around him.

Benedict was not quite thirty years old, but his medical skills were already at the highest level. He was also the leader of the Presgrave Group’s private hospital.

As one of Elliot’s closest people, Benedict was in charge of Elliot’s health.

While cleaning the wound, Benedict asked about the previous incident with Harriet. At the time, he couldn’t rush back after the incident because he had gone abroad to study.

Anastasia, who was sitting off to one side, could feel the tingling sensation on her scalp as she looked at the wound on Elliot’s leg. The wound was neither deep nor shallow, but it was definitely not a minor injury.

“It almost went deep into the bone, but luckily it didn’t,” Benedict remarked as he took a look at the medical scanner.

“Who did this to you?” Anastasia clenched her teeth in rage. First, Aliona kidnapped her son and then, she hurt Elliot. If Aliona was in front of her, Anastasia would kill her on the spot.

“It’s fine. I just need to get some rest.” Elliot reached out and took Anastasia’s hand in his, his eyes filled with consolation.

He is the one who got hurt.

“Don’t worry, Miss Tillman. President Presgrave is not as fragile as you think. He is someone who has traveled into the hinterland of the rainforest and returned alive.” Benedict quickly chimed in. Then, he added, “It seems that the electronic chip that was implanted in your body is truly top-notch, as it remained intact after so many years.”

Anastasia’s heart tightened at that moment. Elliot has been implanted with an electronic chip?

When she turned to look at him, Elliot rolled up his sleeve and showed her the practically invisible scar on his forearm. “When Richard, Arthur, and I parted ten years ago, we all had a chip inserted. The other two will not stand by while one individual is in peril,” he explained.

After he finished speaking, Elliot said helplessly, “Rey made a big deal out of it. Actually, there was no need to get them here.”

In contrast, Anastasia felt that if Rey hadn’t called for help, she would have been the first to collapse at that moment.

“I might not be able to see you now if it weren’t for them.” She was really grateful to Elliot’s two buddies.

“So, you were extremely worried about me this time?” Elliot’s eyes were filled with an affectionate smile, as if he had finally tested her feelings for him.

“Don’t let me worry so much in the future, or I’ll leave you directly, so I don’t have to be on tenterhooks,” Anastasia warned him gently.

This time was because he tried to save her son, so she forgave him.

“Okay.” After that, Elliot bowed his head and looked at Benedict, who was still securing the gauze. Why isn’t he done yet?

At this point, even Benedict was eager to finish the treatment, as he had had enough of the couple being lovey-dovey. Finally, he got up after securing the gauze and instructed, “Elliot, I’m leaving now. I’ll return in three days to replace the dressing. Don’t let the wound come into contact with water, and rest for a week. As for the next ten days… it’s better to avoid any vigorous activity.”

After saying so, Benedict cast a thoughtful glance towards Anastasia and the following second, he received a displeased warning from Elliot. “For the previous research funding, I think you should shoulder it by yourself,” Elliot threatened.

However, Benedict did not shy away from Elliot’s threat. “This is what a doctor should do,” he retorted. “If you still want your leg to function, take my advice.”

After that, Benedict picked up his medicine box and left.

Anastasia pursed her lips, attempting to suppress a smile.

All right! Elliot is not allowed to mess around with me for the next ten days, which is fine by me.

Although Elliot could not really move his leg, his hands could. When he noticed Anastasia was giggling, he stretched out his long arm and in the next second, she was in his embrace. As she raised her head, Elliot held her chin with one hand and wrapped his arms around her waist. Then, he bowed his head and kissed her.

Anastasia’s cheek turned fiery red in response to Elliot’s abrupt domineering moves.

His kiss was not overpowering, yet there was an aggressiveness between his lips and tongue that made her heart flutter.

If it wasn’t for the injury, she felt that he would surely gobble her up.

Therefore, Dr. Palmer’s warning actually served as a form of protection for me!

“When will you marry me?” Elliot’s kiss fell on the corner of her mouth as he asked in a low and hoarse voice.
