"I'm perfectly fine, Lysander said.
"So, who was it that got sick before? Elara didn't believe his words at all.
Lysander was left speechless.
"You get sick even in such good health. Go to bed! Did you hear me? I heard from your butler that you often suffer from insomnia. Why don't you sleep properly?"
Lysander lowered his eyes. Elara's concern made him feel that he absolutely must get a full night's sleep when he went back. "Til sleep well."
"Great!" Elara's eyes softened. "Go back now. See you tomorrow.
Lysander looked at her but made no move to leave. He stared at her, as if he had more to say.
"What? Can't bear to leave me?" Elara asked with a smile.
"Did you ask your dad to save Asher?" Lysander asked. He didn't usually meddle in her affairs. But he couldn't help now.
Hearing him. Elara nervously touched her nose, stammering. "You heard that?"
She thought he hadn't heard it. Luckily, he didn't say it in front of Asher, or she would have given it away.
"What exactly is going on between you and Asher now?" Lysander asked.
"I don't know how to explain it to you. Anyway, I won't fall for Asher Blackwood again. I just want to mess with him." Elara sounded very calm.
"I see." Knowing she wasn't involved with Asher, Lysander felt slightly relieved. "TII head back first. See you tomorrow." "Goodbye!" Elara saw him off to the car, gently waving at him by the car door. Only after Lysander left did she return to the house.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Asher had already finished showering and came out. He was wearing a T-shirt, with injuries on his hands and arms. He asked Ursa to bring the first aid kit and treated his wounds himself. The injuries were indeed not serious, so Ursa let the doctor go back first.
As she saw Asher struggling to apply the medicine, Elara offered, "Shall I take it?"
Asher shot her a glance. "No."
Elara insisted, "Let me do it, please!" She sat down, grabbed the medicine from his hand, and began to apply it to his wound. Jefferson watched this scene with a sense of relief on his face. It seemed that seeing Asher injured had reignited Elara's feelings for him.
Jefferson had always believed that Elara couldn't truly reject his son. This incident seemed to have brought unexpected benefits to Asher, he thought.
"I'll go home now. I have to go to work tomorrow." He stood up.
Barrett arranged a security job for him. Although the income was much less than what he earned as a driver, he still agreed.
After going through these events, he didn't want to cause any displeasure in front of Barrett right now.
"Dad, I'll go back with you," Asher said.
"What are you going back for?" Jefferson glanced at him. "Stay here. Aren't you going to class tomorrow? You should take care of Elara together with her. Mr. Kensington has been so good to you. You can't bully Elara anymore." He had asked Asher to come and reconcile with Elara before, but Asher refused. Now that they finally had a chance to spend time together. Jefferson certainly wouldn't let it slip away. He lef Asher behind and went off by himself. Asher still felt a bit uneasy.
"Asher, just stay here. It's too late to go back now." Barrett understood his thoughts.
Asher looked at Barrett, feeling somewhat ashamed. "My dad has caused you trouble again."
"It's okay" Barrett sighed deeply.
"With a gambler dad, you've had it tough too. You're not much older than Elara. Seeing a child about the same age as his daughter living such a hard life yet still managing to excel academically, Barrett genuinely appreciated him. Without a steadfast will and talent, Asher wouldn't be able to achieve such excellence in such an environment.
"Focus on your studies, and I'll take care of your tuition fees from now on. You're doing well in your studies. Don't ruin yourself because of your family, Barrett said to Asher.
Il try my best, Mr. Kensington. You're so good to me. I don't know how to repay you."
"Cut it out," Barrett said. "If you're willing to work for me after you graduate, that would be great."
He was not short of that money and schools.

As soon as Barrett finished speaking, Elara, who was helping him apply medicine, pressed a bit harder with the cotton swab on his wound
Asher winced in pain. He glanced at her, complaining inwardly. Why was she so clumsy? Keep hurting my wound!"
Elara was practically stabbing his wound with all her strength, not showing the slightest gentleness. Yet her attitude was incredibly sincere. So much so that Asher felt she was just simply clumsy. After giving Elara a stern look, Asher nodded at Barrett. "Thank you Mr. Kensington."
Being able to work in Barrett's company wasn't a bad thing. Many people couldn't even get in.
Barrett didn't bother with them and went upstairs to rest.
Elara had finished applying the medicine and asked Ursa to put the medicine away. "Can you walk? Do you need me to help you?" She looked at Asher.
"No." Asher's voice was very cold. "I can walk by myself."
Elara looked at him, sighing with a hint of regret.
"Why are you sighing?" Asher frowned, wondering, Wouldn't she think I'm bullying her again?"
"Luckily, your leg didn't break... or that would be such a shame!" Elara looked genuinely regretful. Asher watched her, wondering if she was actually disappointed that his leg hadn't broken. 18:24 Wed, Nov 6
He didn't go upstairs to the guest room. Instead, he went to the servant's quarters, where he had stayed during his previous
visit.
Watching his limping gait. Elata followed behind him and couldn't help but sigh inwardly, 'What a pity! Why didn't those people strike harder?"
As Asher reached the door, he noticed Elara staring at him. Helpless, he asked, "What are you following me for? Elara, don't think that I owe you just because you helped me. I have a girlfriend now."
He liked Daphne. Elara was rich. But Asher didn't consider himself someone who chased money and wouldn't date her just because she saved him. That kind of love wasn't pure.
Elara looked up at him when she heard this. "Is that so? But I remember that Daphne ignored you at school today....
Only then did Asher suddenly remember that Daphne was still mad at him. Because he didn't reconcile with Elara and rejected Daphne's kind intentions, Daphine hadn't spoken to him ever since. He hadn't received any messages from her, nor had she spare him a glance at school.
"It's none of your business. Considering he owed Elara a favor, Asher didn't directly close the door and even politely chatted
