Chapter 1757 Conditions

How could Gareth let her go so easily?

He held onto her hand, refusing to let go.

Elisa could feel his pulse as she tried to shake him off.

It was weak and irregular.

Elisa couldn't help but remember Gareth taking a bullet for her.

She softened towards him in the end, "Gareth, how can I talk some sense into you? Being stubborn will do you no good."

She feared the worst-case scenario that Jeremy was worried about.

Elisa sighed. "Lie down and rest. I can't have you running back and forth from the hospital like this. You can stay here for now under one condition."


She helped him up.

They were once married, after all, and he had defended her in front of Mrs. Darcey. Elisa couldn't watch him leave in such a sorry state.

Gareth was elated by Elisa's change of heart. What conditions? Just name them!

But he couldn't appear too eager. "What do you think I'm capable of in my current state?"

He coughed again.

Elisa and Jeremy both agreed his condition was severe. He could feel its strain on his body, but he could handle it. Gareth's body needed to withstand the tests Jeremy was conducting on him.

Elisa didn't say a word. Now that she thought about it, Gareth had arrived when she, Rachel, and Will were having dinner. She realized Gareth must have stayed. Otherwise, he wouldn't have arrived when Mrs. Darcey appeared.

"Have… Have you had dinner?"

Elisa pursed her lips. Food was vital especially to someone with Gareth's condition. He wasn't fainting on her watch.

It was fine. She could handle one meal.

Gareth stared at Elisa from the couch. She was close enough for him to see how pale her skin was. Her collarbones…

"I'm talking to you. I'll make you something if you haven't eaten yet." Elisa interrupted his thoughts.

Gareth shook his head.
