No Chance of Remarriage Get Lost (Elisa) novel Chapter 2158

Seeing the smile on Gareth's face, Elisa immediately let go of his hand, her face twisted in considerable displeasure.

She thought Gareth was gloating.

“No,” Gareth immediately replied, even quickly explaining, “I'm happy because you took my hand and led me away. I know you did that because you care about me.”

Elisa was rendered speechless. She looked at Gareth, his face full of smiles, and shook her head helplessly. “I just don't want you to start a dispute with Mr. Carrerra at this critical moment. If something happens to you, and I'm right there with you, I can't possibly just abandon you, can I? If I don't abandon you, then I have to take responsibility for you.”

Upon hearing that, Gareth couldn't help but furrow his brows. “In your eyes, am I really that useless?” he said. It's not like I haven't clashed with Mr. Carrerra before. I don't even take Mr. Carrerra seriously. How could he possibly beat me?

“No, that's not the case. Mr. Carrerra is not alone, but you are, Gareth. This isn't your territory. Don't forget that the effects of the drug on your body haven't fully worn off yet, and your gunshot wound—”

Before Elisa could finish her sentence, Gareth hastily interrupted, “The physical injuries I've suffered have long since healed. The only wound that refuses to mend is the one in my heart.”

He stated that his current health condition was excellent, but then he added something else.

Elisa really didn't want to hear him go on about that anymore. She quickly reached out her hand, signaling for him to stop.
