Marsha answered Jocelyn indifferently. "Mm. I understand." After that, Marsha went to look for the attending doctor.
But the attending doctor brought up Elisa's talents to Marsha.
His eyes were full of admiration for Elisa. "I never thought that the girl that came with the patient had such great mastery over medicine. Her surgical skills are on par with any specialist in our hospital. It's all thanks to her this time. Otherwise, the patient's two legs would have been amputated."
Marsha couldn't keep her composure when she heard Will's legs were almost amputated. How could she have kept calm?
Marsha completely understood the severity of the accident.
She immediately instructed people to investigate the accident. But before she had done so, Gareth had already ordered Thomas to inquire.
Thomas discovered that the truck driver was innocent and that the car accident was just a mishap. His brake had malfunctioned, and it wasn't deliberate.
But Gareth disagreed.
The more flawless it seemed, the more suspicious it was.
Otherwise, why did an accident happen at such opportune timing?
He told Elisa, "Don't go out during this time if you have nothing urgent. Grandma trusts you. Stay in Wickam Residence and take care of her. Tell me if you have something to do. I'll do it for you."
Gareth's advice wasn't unreasonable.
Even if he hadn't instructed Thomas to investigate the accident, Elisa would have done so.
It was too sudden. Also, why was Will's car the target?
Elisa shook her head and rejected Gareth's kind intentions. "I'm thankful for your advice, but it's unlike me to retreat once I'm in trouble."
Gareth immediately furrowed his brows.
He said clearly, "So what are you like? Risking your life even when you know there's danger ahead? Elisa Benett, do you think retreating when you're in trouble is cowardly?"
Gareth's voice was harsh, especially at the end. His expression was dark, and he was very emotional.
Elisa was dumbfounded.
She hadn't meant it like that. Why did he misinterpret her intentions?
She was completely dumbfounded!
Elisa rolled her eyes at him and spoke disdainfully.
"I think you're just like Will's fiancée."
Elisa shook her head when she thought of Jocelyn.
If not for Will's urgent situation at that moment, Elisa would have taught Jocelyn a lesson since she was so arrogant!
But then again, Elisa didn't feel much when she discovered that Will had a fiancée. Gareth suddenly understood something.
He pursed his lips and said, "You don't have to drag such a person to put on an act if you don't want to accept and remarry me."
Such a person…
