No Chance Of Remarriage: Get Lost Chapter 515
His voice was soft. It was almost a whisper.
But… Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
Elisa could hear the sarcasm in his words. She pursed her lips. She wanted to ask him to leave right away. But she remembered that James was present. It would be humiliating for Gareth if she told him to leave now. She did not want to get on the wrong side of him.
She hesitated for a while before speaking. “I’m sorry I cannot agree to work with you. We should keep a clear line between the both of us.”
Gareth frowned quietly.
James could feel Elisa’s eyes on him. He quickly said, “Mr. Wickam, Elisa. I rushed here when I heard that you got hurt. But I’m glad to see that you are fine now. Take good care of yourself. I will come and see you again tomorrow.”
Elisa shook her head and smiled. “You don’t need to take the trouble, Uncle James. I’m perfectly fine. I will go back to work soon.”
James sighed. But he knew that he couldn’t stay here any longer. He smiled and nodded, “Then I shall leave. Nice meeting you, Mr. Wickam.”
Gareth nodded lightly at James. He did not say anything else.
Shortly after James exited the ward, he bumped into his niece.
Rachel came up to him. “Uncle, are you leaving so soon? Umm… When is Mr. Wickam planning to leave?”
She had been waiting outside the ward for quite some time. She did not expect her uncle to leave first.
James shook his head with a frown. “He is not planning to leave yet. You should wait here until he leaves. Something is off between the two of them.”
“What?” Rachel widened her eyes and spoke anxiously, “Is Mr. Wickam plotting something evil against Elisa?”
James was left speechless for a while. He twitched his lips, then raised his hand and flicked Rachel’s forehead. “What is in your mind?”
Rachel took a step back and held her aching forehead. She did not understand James’ actions. “What do you mean?”
“The air between them both was just weird. Forget it. It’s not a good time for you to enter now. Elisa is smart enough to handle this. You shouldn’t go in and make things complicated for her. See me off first.”
Rachel was dumbstruck.
She looked at James in confusion. Aren’t you physically and mentally able enough to find your way out? Do you still need me to see you off?
James was amused by the look in Rachel’s eyes. He asked, “Are you going to see me off?”
“Yes, yes, yes…”
So James dragged Rachel away from Elisa’s ward.
Gareth and Elisa were the only people left in the ward.
Elisa was confused why Gareth refused to leave. Was he here because of Linda?
She could not capture his messy thoughts or feelings. But she knew that he wasn’t guilty.
The both of them did not have feelings for each other anyway. It did not matter, even if he misunderstood her.
When Elisa thought of this, she chuckled. “Mr. Wickam, I did not tell you to leave when Uncle James was here because I thought I should leave you some dignity. But I would like to know when you’re planning to leave.”
Gareth was angry when he heard Elisa’s words. He grabbed her wrist but did not pull it because he knew she was hurt. He just held it tightly.
Elisa frowned. She wanted to wriggle free, but Gareth spoke fiercely. “I asked you just now. Are you heartless?”
