"Mm." Gareth nodded in response. Although he had good drug tolerance, his body displayed genuine
reactions.
He was swollen, and his voice was weak and hoarse.
"Stop talking and rest. I'll be here." Elisa didn't continue bickering with him. After that, she leaned back
in her chair.
She was also sleepy at this time.
Gareth didn't say anything.
For some reason, he felt unbelievably calm after what Elisa said.
He even… felt indescribably at ease.
He couldn't move now and couldn't pull Elisa to him.
In the end, after hesitating, he said to Elisa, "Sleep beside me."
Elisa was dumbfounded.

She suddenly sat up and looked at him in disbelief.
In the three years they were married, they rarely met.
Everyone knew how much he hated her.
They had barely spoken while they were married for three years.
The only time they had… She didn't know how much he had loathed and detested her then.
Now that Gareth had taken the initiative to say such a thing to her, she felt that the sun would rise from
the west.
"Gareth, you were shot twice, but your mind wasn't affected."
Elisa wrinkled her brows tightly and looked at Gareth closely.
Mm. This is Gareth. He's real.
Just as she was about to say something, Gareth slowly started speaking and interrupted her.
"You operated on me twice, and you've been staying by my side. You must be tired. And you must be

worried about leaving me alone in my current condition, right?"
She couldn't deny that what Gareth said was reasonable and fair.
She was tired. Moreover, she wasn't confident enough to leave Gareth alone.
Elisa silently sighed at how much effort he was exerting to speak. "Stop wasting your strength talking.
I'll stay with you for the next few days. I won't go anywhere but won't sleep next to you. After all, men
and women should have boundaries."
Gareth's gaze dimmed slightly. His expression would have turned cold in the past, but not this time.
After what had happened, he was more certain about something.
He couldn't lose her.
But just as he was about to speak, Elisa said, "Although you were injured because of me, I have to
make things clear to you. We were a couple in the past, but we've divorced. We were only husband
and wife in the past."
"What you need most right now is rest. Don't overthink or lose your temper."

Elisa urged him in the end.
Gareth didn't answer, and Elisa didn't say anything else.
Therefore, the room was hushed.
Gareth could even hear the soft sounds of the liquid medicine dripping.
But Elisa suddenly thought of something and broke the silence.
"By the way, Gareth, I suddenly remembered something. When I attended the dinner party with Uncle
Winslow, I met a relative of the man by Nicole's side. The man's family looks very powerful. We're in
Moranta. I suggest that you let the man go as soon as possible!"
Although Gareth's thoughts were interrupted by Elisa, he turned her down bluntly after hearing what
she had to say.
"No."
Gareth had never feared anyone, including the man by Nicole's side. He wouldn't let Aaron go!
Elisa choked at Gareth's words.
