Uncle Winslow cannot be expected to protect her because they have no blood relation!
However, Gareth could not speak for a while.
He understood why she did not want Rachel to come to Moranta.
Strangely, for reasons he could not fathom, he thought of Will at this moment.
Gareth wanted to ask, but…
Elisa noticed him trying to speak but stopped himself.
Therefore, she encouraged him to talk.
"Gareth, you should speak up if you have anything to say. Stop hesitating."
Since Elisa exposed Gareth, he had no reason to hesitate.
He pursed his lips and said, "Did you reject Will's offer to help?"
"Yes."
Elisa answered despite not knowing why Gareth suddenly brought up Will.
She did not need Will's help.
Gareth fell silent.
But it was only for a few seconds. Then, he looked at Elisa and said, "Since you won't accept his help, please accept mine."
His tone had softened considerably.
Elisa was surprised. This was the first time Gareth spoke to her in such a tone.
Gareth had always been proud. He would never humble himself to offer to help someone.
Yes, he considered that as a humbling act.
Before Elisa could consider further, Gareth continued, "You have been a great help to me in obtaining Ganoderma Caligo and treating my poisoning. It's only right that I help you."
His explanation sounded reasonable.
Elisa froze briefly. Does he mean we will be even after he helps me this time?
But we stopped owing each other long ago.
