Chapter 822

Why Can’t I Just Come to You?

Nydia was watching this in horror. Gloria’s wound had barely healed and now was bleeding. Nydia
paled visibly at this sight. It’s as bad as it looks.

After a full day and night, the deep wound showed no sign of healing!

Nydia looked so worried, and her playful smile vanished!

It really pained her to see the terrible wound on Gloria’s back. Gloria’s skin had felt soft and smooth
before!

And it was flawless, but now…

When the doctor was tending to Gloria’s wound, he tried to divert her attention from the pain. However,
she seemed to have higher pain tolerance than he thought. She did not even wrinkle her brow. The
doctor stopped trying and instead began to focus on his job.

The doctor was particularly skilled so that Gloria was not in too much pain. When it was done, he got
up from the couch and said to Gloria in a businesslike tone, “You have to eat bland, healthy food. The
wound is deep. Keep it dry. It’ll take a little longer to heal. And you should avoid strenuous exercise.”

“Got it,” Gloria nodded along.

The doctor smiled, “I’m off. If something comes up, call me at any time.”

“Okay, thank you very much,” Nydia said and saw the doctor off.

The doctor smiled, and without another word, he left with his medical kit.

Gloria put her hands behind her back to do up the buttons.



Jordy frowned slightly, “You don’t have to put on a brave face all the time.”

Gloria didn’t say anything.

I just wanted to do up the buttons.

Before Gloria could continue, Jordy walked up behind her and did up her buttons.

Gloria suddenly stiffened. He saw her back. Her whole back.

He could even see other parts of her body for she was wearing a loose shirt.

Jordy’s eyes darkened and heated at once. He buttoned her buttons as quickly as he could

Gloria remained silent, not knowing what to say. When it was done, she got up from the couch and
headed back to her room.

Jordy stared after her silently. After the doctor left, Nydia stood at the door, not even sure if she should
go in.

After all, Jordy was in the living room the whole time. Last night when he was there, Nydia had to go
back. Jordy didn’t like it when she stayed the night.

Gloria seems to be doing just fine, doesn’t she?

After a moment’s hesitation, Nydia finally said, “Well… I’m just gonna leave you two alone.”

With that, Nydia went to Gloria’s bedroom to get her bag and left.

Jordy’s grim face softened. He walked into Gloria’s bedroom and sat down in the chair.

Gloria let her eyes rest upon him and looked puzzled. “What’s the matter?”



Jordy gazed at her. “Nothing. Why can’t I just be here?”

Gloria had nothing to say to that.

If nothing is going on, is there any need to talk? Is he kidding me? Has he learned how to tell a joke?

Gloria said calmly, not wanting to quarrel with Jordy, “Have you‘ done the inspection today?”

“Not yet.”

Gloria looked at him in bewilderment. “Aren’t you going to inspect this place?”
