Gareth did not stop approaching Elisa and said frankly, "What's wrong with ordering me around? Didn't you defend me just now?"
Does he mean I can order him around because I defended him?
Elisa shook her head. "You should keep your distance from me. Will's condition is severe. I can't have you messing things up."
If not for what happened just now, Gareth would have been angered by her words and annoyed that she was anxious about Will.
However, the incident helped him to understand why she was here.
Therefore, he promised Elisa, "Don't worry. I'll stay on the side. Feel free to order me to do anything when you need me to. Otherwise, I will stand there and not get in your way."
Since Gareth insisted, Elisa could not find any reason to make him leave.
However, Marsha called out at Gareth before he could step foot into the ward, "Elisa goes to the ward to treat my son. What about you, Mr. Wickam? What reason do you have to go there?"
Gareth had no problem yielding to Elisa but always appeared cold and proud to others.
He glanced at Marsha coldly.
Although he did not say anything, his stern expression sent a clear message.
Who could stop him if he wanted to go in?
Marsha was frightened by Gareth's expression, but her son was in that ward.
Elisa has medical skills, but what does Gareth know?
My son is unconscious on the hospital bed. Won't it be humiliating for him if Gareth goes in?
Marsha immediately blocked Gareth's way.
"Mr. Wickam, I understand you want to protect Elisa, and I have nothing to refute you. However, Elisa is going in to treat my son. How can you go in when you have no medical skills? Are you going in to see my son's humiliating state? You can't go in. If you insist on entering, you give me no choice but to call the police."
Marsha was insistent.
Seeing that, Elisa persuaded Gareth, "It's best that you don't go in. I will be out soon."
Elisa looked at Gareth firmly, indicating that he should wait outside.
However, Gareth was still worried. "Are you sure you can handle it alone?"
Elisa nodded.
Jocelyn also came to stand before Marsha to stop Gareth from entering. Seeing the two women blocking his way, Gareth had no choice but to step back.
Meanwhile, Elisa entered the ward and placed her fingers on Will's wrist.
Good, his pulse is much better than yesterday.
Then, she gave Will an injection before feeding him medicine.
Elisa completed a series of medical treatments and prepared to leave the ward. Unexpectedly, Will woke up.
"Liz?"
His voice was weak and uncertain.
Elisa had checked his pulse and thought he would regain consciousness in a few days. She did not expect him to wake up so soon.
