Chapter 754

"But, Mr. Lippert really did save me, you know? I just want to show my gratitude. What do you say?" Elodie leaned in slightly, her slender arms resting on the desk, batting her lovely eyes at him. "How about... a more... personal thank you?" Ludwik barely had to look up to catch a glimpse of the cleavage she was purposefully displaying.

A chill ran through him, a wave of revulsion hitting hard. "Elodie, why don't you go check my hospital records from two weeks ago? I got injured, and let's just say, I'm not in the game. Wouldn't want to hold you back from your life's adventures." "...Impossible. A guy with your stamina, saving a woman from a fire? I don't buy it. You look in top form, muscles all lean and toned."

Elodie said, daring to glance further down his crossed legs.

Ludwik's face darkened instantly, and with a snap, he grabbed a folder to block her view. If she weren't Ronan's daughter, and if it weren't such a hassle to offend her, he would've kicked this shameless woman out already. "Elodie, behave yourself!"

His gaze was icy.

Seeing his expression change, Elodie pouted, disgruntled. "I was just curious, Mr. Lippert. Why so uptight? Or... are you just scared I'll find out you're actually fine and lying to me?"

"My recent visits to the urology department are on record. Go ahead and check."

Ludwik coldly brushed her aside.

Elodie paused, taking in his stern face. It didn't seem like he was lying. Plus, it was her first time hearing a man admit to such issues so boldly, and she found it both surprising and intriguing. Mature and strict men really were different. Too bad he was supposedly out of commission.

"No worries. Nowadays, what can't be cured, right, Mr. Lippert?" Elodie said softly, cupping her face. "Relax, my dad is Ronan. He's got the whole Harmonia Country's medical community at his beck and call!

And if it really can't be fixed, we'll just have a platonic relationship. I'm not the kind to just give up."

Ludwik's face darkened even more.

Never had he encountered such a forward official's daughter, so full of herself, clearly spoiled rotten.

Felix was turning green. "Um... Elodie, Mr. Lippert really dislikes it when his work time is interrupted."

"Oh, I get it. I like men who are serious about their work even more." Elodie threw Ludwik a flirtatious look, a clear 'you can't resist me' vibe, and sashayed out.

"Next time she comes, just say
