When Maurice entered the building with an injured Eliana in his arms, Eli immediately walked up to her with a worried face.

“Eliana, how are you? Are you okay?”

“What do you think?” Eliana hissed through gritted teeth.

At this time, she was in a bad shape. Her forehead was swollen from the impact of the water bottles thrown at her, and her face was full of scratches.

“I’m truly sorry, Eliana.”

Eli’s heart was overcome by guilt. He had targeted Maurice, but he didn’t expect that Eliana would suffer the brunt of his attack.

Disheveled and wounded, Eliana’s first instinct was to lash out at Eli and express her anger. But when she saw the genuine distress on the apologetic man’s face, her heart suddenly softened.

“You need to see a doctor and have your wounds treated. Let me take you…”

“Fuck off!” Holding Eliana protectively in his arms, Maurice stepped back and kept his distance from Eli. “What right do you have to care about her now? Wasn’t it you who caused all this mess?”

Eli’s body stiffened. He bit his lips and wanted to refute, but no words came out of his mouth.

After all, Maurice had a point. It was all Eli’s fault, and the damage had already been done.
