Elisa had no idea where he received such news, but she knew they had to handle the situation well.
Gareth and Elisa noted silently to stay cautious as they exchanged gazes.
Mr. Carrerra didn't give them much time before he prepared himself for the next round of the fight, looking as if he might pounce onto them any moment.
Gareth remained protective in front of Elisa regardless of his pain.
His stubbornness and insistence to protect her froze her on the spot. He had done the same thing a few times, with a complete lack of regard for his condition.
As she was the closest to him, she could hear his ragged breathing.
It must hurt a lot. Even so, he didn't reveal any weaknesses.
Conflicted feelings bubbled up within her. Though they just had an open conversation about their situation, and she already decided to leave him, she was touched by his actions.
"Don't worry. I'll protect you."
His voice rang hoarsely, perhaps because of the pain from his injuries. It sounded as though they were in a life-or-death situation.
She was taken aback by his promise.
At the same moment, there was a commotion at the supermarket entrance—Thomas was running over to them with a group of bodyguards in black.
A few security guards from the supermarket were behind them, attempting to stop their advance. However, they gave up upon seeing how powerful the group seemed; they merely yelled out instructions but didn't dare to take action to stop them.
Hence, they could only follow Thomas to ensure the rest of the customers were not alarmed.
Still, everyone who witnessed that was shocked as they looked at Thomas and the team of bodyguards.
