Elisa was dumbfounded.
What does he mean?
Elisa looked at Gareth, perplexed.
The next moment, he slowly explained and was honest about his thoughts. "I don't want to be a burden to you and trouble you. If Will's condition worsens, he'll have to be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. His mom will be nasty to you if you care for him."
"Besides, how will you stay by Will's side?"
"As his caretaker. I can't look on helplessly and watch him die before me, can I?" Elisa pursed her lips and shrugged in exasperation.
The next moment, Gareth said sorrowfully, "If you haven't treated Will to full health before the worst happens to me, I'll help you take him away."
At this time, Elisa noticed the malice in Gareth's eyes.
She immediately understood what he meant and couldn't help but cry, "Are you crazy, Gareth Wickam? What the heck are you thinking and saying?"
Taking Will away? Gareth must be mad!
Gareth said firmly, "I'm not crazy. I mean what I say. Otherwise, Will would burden you for the rest of his life. You can't serve him for the rest of your life, right?"
He thought about Elisa suffering for the rest of her life.
He had neglected her when they were married. It hadn't been easy for him to acknowledge his true feelings and discover how amazing she was, so he had to do his utmost to protect her.
Elisa's throat suddenly felt constricted.
Gareth had never said such things to her, nor had he ever cared for her in the past. Now, Gareth spoke more and expressed his thoughts with his actions.
She would have lost her head if Gareth had done this in the past.
But now, she only felt touched.
