Chapter 822 A Nobody Like Her
- Gloria restated and re-explained to him when she saw Jordy had kept silent. "I don't want to keep telling and explaining. Let me help you with your dressing," said she as she rose to her feet. She opened the gauze. The stitched wounds were ugly and swollen. She put the herbal medicine she had specially made on. She knew the medicine could be strong, but unexpectedly Jordy restrained himself well and only frowned a little bit. She admired Jordy's ability to withhold pain. The last time she had helped him with the dressing had been after the surgery. And Jordy was awake this time. She reached her hand to his back, which brought the two of them very close. Jordy smelled of herbs mixed with his own light masculine hormone. She could hear his rhythmic heartbeat... Her breath started to get harder all of a sudden. This was the first time they had been this close to each other after their divorce. "Gloria." Jordy opened his mouth all of a sudden. The tone was very familiar. "What?" Gloria raised her brow, unaware of what Jordy was doing. But Jordy didn't answer her, because what he had been going to say had choked in his throat that he had to swallow. The only thing he could notice now was the good smell coming from her. "Done." Done with dressing his wounds, Gloria relaxed her hands and tried to stand up, when her waist met Jordy's hand. Unexpectedly, she fell into Jordy's arms. "Are you OK, Jordy? Did I..." At the thought of his wounds, Gloria sprung to her feet.
- Jordy shook his head. The tension in the air at the moment was... Jordy's thin lips moved, but he swallowed his words. Gloria said something first then, "Do you have something you especially want to eat? I'll cook it for you." He was badly injured and needed rest and nutrition. And what worried her most now was the residual herbal medicine in his body. She prayed that it wouldn't kick back in now. Otherwise, it was going to be absolute torture to him! Jordy shook his head again. And silence took over again. Just as Gloria was fumbling for something to say, Jordy spoke this time, "You really don't want me to go with you?" Jordy was asking her, his black eyes lifted to her. Strangely, Gloria had this weird feeling at the sight of Jordy's eyes. She was uncomfortable. Gloria nodded. "What good will it do to you? I'll contact Harold later and ask him to see Granny takes Misty Lucid Ganoderma. He'll come to pick you up after that." "And then let Harold bring me back home and you handle the stuff all by yourself? I know you have plans with the boss of Crockfords, but have ever been suspicious of the identity of him?" Jordy compressed his lips and brought this crucial point to Gloria. Everyone was suspicious in Jordy's eyes at the moment. Gloria was smart, but she was a woman and easy be fooled.
- Gloria knew what Jordy meant. She heaved a ligh sigh, saying, "I've read every test and report that I can get my hands on. There is no need for a boss like him to forge fake files just in order to get near a nobody like me?" A nobody like her? Jordy found Gloria's words quite funny. Pin It On A Dead Person "Are you sure you are a nobody?" he squinted. She was not a nobody. She was good at medicine. She had a clear head and a quick mind. she was brave and resourceful. besides, she was a good investigator. Which meant she was good with computers and the internet. And she had hidden all her talents after their marriage. Now he was not with her and she had exposed herself bit by bit. And maybe there was still more to find. So he didn't take her as a nobody. Hearing Jordy's tentative question and seeing his significant eyes, Gloria realized what he meant at once. Jordy had found out about her multiple identities. Hiding had been necessary back then, but was not now. But still, there was no need to confess everything to him. Gloria smiled. "Somebody or nobody, it was all but people's opinion. what are you trying to say, Mr. Collins? You think I'm more capable and outstanding now. Has it surprised you or what?" "Whatever you are, you are still you. You are still Gloria White!"
