Chapter 1660 Not Willing
Returning to Wickam Manor was out of the question, and bringing Gareth to her place wasn't a viable
option either.
Elisa considered Thomas and said, "Hey, Thomas, how about taking him to your place? Cause
honestly, given the current state of our relationship, it's not good for me to be involved in his affair too
much."
"I still have some emergency pills here. You still have the prescriptions I gave you last time, right? With
your efficiency, you can prepare those medicines today. Then tomorrow, you can continue decocting
and bathing him as per the previous instructions."
"Huh?!"
Thomas had expected Elisa to suggest bringing Gareth to her place, so he was taken aback when she
refused and proposed going through the trouble instead. Had their relationship become so strained
once again?

had reconciled and remarried.
Noticing Thomas's surprise at her request, "What's wrong? Is it inconvenient to bring him to your
place?"
"It's not about that. Considering Mr. Wickam's current condition, it would be better to have a
professional by his side, don't you think? Ms. Benett, I'm just being practical. If I were to find another
doctor for Mr. Wickam now and risk leaking his current health condition to his enemies. Then it would…
You know Mr. Wickam's condition the best, and it would be ideal if you stayed by his side to care for
him."
"My house is tiny, and there might not be enough space if you come along," Thomas carried on voicing
his objection.
"My house is tiny, and there might not be enough space if you come along," Thomas carried on voicing
his objection.
Elisa paused for a moment, realizing that Thomas had a valid point.
She glanced at Gareth, who was sitting in the back seat. Despite lingering anger over his earlier
actions, she couldn't deny that Gareth had shielded her from the bullet.
Elisa didn't want to give him any more ammunition to use against her!
Reluctantly, she brought Thomas and Gareth back to her own place.
Thomas followed the prescription she gave him and prepared the medicines. Throughout the night, he
toiled between boiling the medicine and supervising Gareth's medicated bath while Elisa administered
the medicine, staying by Gareth's side all night.
Gareth remained in an unconscious state throughout the night.
In the morning, Elisa checked Gareth's pulse. Although it wasn't as steady as before, it improved much
compared to when the poison flared up the previous day.
Considering she had a meeting with the business partners, Elisa told Thomas, "You stay here and take
care of him. Make sure he eats something when he wakes up. If there's anything unusual, just call me."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Are you heading out, Ms. Benett?" Thomas marveled at Elisa's fresh appearance, impressed by how
put together she looked despite not sleeping all night.
Elisa nodded and replied, "Yeah, you remember the car accident that Will and I were involved in? I am
responsible for taking care of him, and I also have a meeting with our business partners today."
"I see. Don't worry, Ms. Benett. You go ahead and do what you need to do. I'll take care of Mr. Wickam
here," Thomas assured her.
Elisa had matters to attend to, and Thomas understood that he shouldn't stop her.
However, during Elisa's meeting with the three business partners, they inquired about Gareth, "Mrs.
Wickam, isn't Mr. Wickam here with you today?"
Despite the Benett family's prominence as a well-established company in Bayswe, Gareth's influence
and authority convinced them to cooperate with Elisa.
They were displeased that Gareth was absent from the meeting.
Elisa could sense their chagrin and smiled in response, "Mr. Wickam might have had a little too much
to drink at the Garner family's banquet yesterday. However, his presence or absence doesn't change
anything about our collaboration."
