“Elisa, my uncle is here to see you. We’re coming in.”
Gareth frowned instantly. Elisa glanced at him nonchalantly, then answered the voice at the door.
“Come in.”
The door opened.
Rachel was smiling when she opened the door, but when she saw Gareth, she was stunned. Why is
Gareth here again?
Is he crazy?
She had only left for a moment, and now he was here. Did he plan his time and come when she left?
If Sheena could hear Rachel’s thoughts, she would definitely rebut Rachel.
Would Mr. Wickam need to avoid you? He could just chase you away.

Gareth. However, the next moment, he recovered and said, “What a coincidence to see you here, Mr.
Wickam.”
James spoke naturally. He did not seem awkward.
Gareth looked at James. His eyebrows twitched a little as he said, “I didn’t expect to see you here, Mr.
Markee.”
He knew James. James was an outstanding person. He was once tempted to offer James to work for
him, but when he discovered James’ relationship with Elisa’s father, he gave up that thought.
James smiled. Then, he put the fruit basket on Elisa’s bedside table. When he saw Elisa trying to get
up to help, he quickly stopped her, “Don’t move. You have a broken rib. Don’t you dare move.”
Elisa smiled. “I’m not that fragile. Moreover, I am almost recovered. I have undergone fixation of the
ribs, and I’ve been doing physiotherapy.”
She got up as she spoke. She looked active and alert and did not look like a patient.
Rachel had been taking care of her these days. She knew how far Elisa could go, so she did not stop
her.
Gareth kept staring at her. He realized that she wasn’t a person with a bad temper. She was just bad-
tempered toward certain people.
And he was one of them. The sneer on Gareth’s face widened when he thought of this.
James sighed. “How did this happen to you? Are you feeling better now?”
“Yes. I’m almost recovered. Please have a seat.”
James smiled as he nodded. He sat on the other side of Elisa’s bed, facing Gareth.
James looked at Elisa pitifully. “Have a good rest for the time being. Don’t worry too much about work.

James was not concerned about Gareth being there at all. After all, the managing officers’ relationships
in Benett Corporation were pretty obvious. People knew that he was on Elisa’s father’s side.
Since his friend was gone, he was, of course, on his daughter’s side.
Gareth sat in his seat quietly. He seemed like he wanted to stay back and listen to James and Elisa’s
conversation.
Rachel glanced at Gareth suspiciously. Why is he not leaving yet?
Is Mr. Wickam so free nowadays?
Elisa nodded at James. “I know, Uncle James. Don’t worry about me. I will take care of my health.”
James nodded profusely. “Of course, you have to. That’s the right thing to do, and it will make me feel
less worried about you. I will be here for you.”
Elisa felt warm inside. There was a hint of gratitude in her eyes.
When Gareth saw this, he froze. Was she so easily touched?
