Chapter 289 Caring for Leo

Elise, knowing the place like the back of her hand, darted to the back of the living room and grabbed the first aid kit from the cabinet. She dug through it for a bit and found the burn ointment.

She quickly unscrewed the cap, squeezed some ointment onto a cotton swab, and gently dabbed it on Derek's burn.

Everyone in the room was stunned, but no one said a word; they just watched her every move in silence.

Once she finished treating the wound, Elise's tense expression softened. She looked up at Derek with a gentle gaze. "It's not a bad burn; it'll heal in a few days."

The servant next to her was on the verge of tears, standing there with her head down, her voice shaking. "Mr. Derek Winters, I'm so sorry, it's all my fault. I'll accept any punishment."

Elise stood up, looked at the servant with a kind expression, and spoke softly, without a hint of anger, "It's okay, Zaria. You've been with the Winters Family for so many years; mistakes happen. Just clean up."

Elise's tone and demeanor were so much like the lady of the house that it shocked Zaria Martin. She looked at Elise in disbelief, thinking, 'Why does she act so much like Cordelia? And how does she know my name and that I've been with the Winters Family for years?'

Zaria stared at Elise. "You are..."

Before she could finish, Derek's deep voice cut in. "She's my guest. Just clean up."

Leonard, who had been standing in the back, watched everything. He saw how calmly Elise handled the situation and how familiar she seemed with the house. She even seemed to know everyone there well.
