Chapter 1274 Aren’t You Leaving?
Elisa frowned.
"Let go?" She said again.
Gareth finally let go of her and sat down on the couch.
Elisa stared at him, perplexed. He really was acting more and more like a child.
He was probably acting this way because he was sick.
Elisa went to get the first aid kit.
After a while, Elisa returned with a glass of warm water and some medicine. "Take two of this."
Gareth frowned. He did not want to move or take the medicine.
Elisa, "…"
"Do you hate swallowing pills that much? Does this mean you haven't been taking your medicine per
the doctor's instructions since you got sick?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGareth's lips tightened, and said nothing.
Elisa frowned again. "It's a miracle Jeremy is still willing to look after you even when you're being so
uncooperative."
Gareth's expression darkened. Elisa suddenly thought of something. Taking in Gareth's tightly pursed
lips, she asked, "Has he been giving you injections all this while?"
Gareth remained silent, but his silence was more than telling.
Elisa chuckled. "What a surprise. Who would have known that the great Gareth Wickam was afraid of
swallowing pills."
Even though they had been married for three years, the accumulative time they spent together was
less than colleagues working together for half a month.
Elisa had never been his doctor. She had no idea what his daily routine consisted of.
Gareth's features darkened even further at Elisa's teasing.
He glared up at her. "You're imagining things."
"Then take them." Elisa had no intention of making fun of Gareth. She was deliberately taunting him to
make him take the pills. Because of his stomach cancer, she shouldn't agitate him too much.
Gareth frowned in annoyance. But to stop Elisa from mocking him further, he swallowed the pills in one
go.
Elisa arched an eyebrow but remained quiet.
She was exasperated with this man.
She didn't expect them to continue having so many encounters after their divorce.
Even though she was exasperated with him, her conscience would not let her ignore him.
If only she were a bit crueler, she could leave him to his demise.
Gareth's fever finally receded after twenty minutes.
After taking his temperature and finding that his fever had gone down, Elisa ordered, "Lie down and
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmrest. I'll make dinner."
Gareth did not say a word.
Ignoring him, Elisa headed to the kitchen.
Elisa made a simple meal of two side dishes and one soup. She placed them on the table and saw
Gareth had gotten up from the couch. Grabbing the thermometer, she took his temperature once more.
Satisfied with the results, she gestured towards the table. "Come eat."
Gareth washed his hands and sat down across from her.
He still did not say a word but looked more at ease now.
They ate in silence. Elisa started to frown again once dinner was over. He wasn't planning on staying,
was he?
Happy to leave the dishes for the moment, she stared at him. She might not have said anything, but
her eyes gave her thoughts away.
Isn't it about time you left?
It didn't look like Gareth got the message. He sat comfortably in the chair with no intention of moving.
Elisa frowned and went straight to the point. "When are you leaving?"
