Chapter 1754 Death Is Preferable
Elisa pulled out her phone.
Gareth watched her silently. His black eyes bore down on her uncomfortably.
The feeling of being stared at annoyed Elisa.
While she was looking for Jeremy's number, when Gareth said, "Do you think I'll be here if he could
handle it?"
Jeremy idolized Elisa. It was Gareth's own idea to come looking for Elisa and also because Jeremy had
advised him to.
Gareth had no problems utilizing his injuries as long as it kept Elisa by his side.
"You can't stay here. I can't help you either. If you're not still feeling unwell, I suggest looking for
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsomeone else, Gareth." Elisa pursed her lips and finally dialed Jeremy's number.
Gareth didn't say anything. Elisa had no intention of furthering the conversation either. They fell into
silence. Gareth could hear the dial tone from Elisa's phone.
Gareth shot to his feet. He stood over her, grabbed the phone out of her hand, and ended the call.
Gareth glared down at her and growled, "I left the hospital. Contacting him is pointless. I don't want to
stay in the hospital any longer!"
Gareth did not hide the upset in his voice.
Elisa could hear it.
So what if he was upset? She wasn't happy about it either!
What made him think he could come to her after leaving the hospital?
Was her home a shelter?
"Gareth, didn't Jeremy tell you about your condition? You're courting death! Call him to come get you
and contact specialists to look into your situation!"
Elisa shook her head in exasperation. She reached out to retrieve her phone.
Gareth held her phone out of reach and turned it off.
"If we can't be together in life, then death is just sweet release." Gareth's gaze was unwaveringly firm.
He stared into Elisa's eyes, letting her know he was 100% serious.
Elisa couldn't believe what she was hearing. He would prefer death to a life without her?
Did he fear a future where he would be alone, burdened by illness and suffering, without anyone to
care for him?

Elisa didn't know how to respond. "If you're worried about your illness, you can easily reach out to
specialists with more experience in the medical field and caring for someone with your condition. I'm
not the only one capable of treating you. Besides, don't you still have Linda? As long as you are
together, she will do everything she can to make you happy."
Linda would do a far better job than Elisa could at that.
Moreover, Gareth had feelings for Linda and not…
"Why do you need to bring Linda up?" Gareth interrupted her train of thought. "There's nothing between
Linda and me. I'm just indebted to her because she saved me. That was why I cared for her and looked
after her. I have no other feelings towards her besides that."
Elisa couldn't believe the words coming from Gareth's mouth. She stared at him with her mouth agape.
Was the person before her truly Gareth?
"You don't have to explain yourself to me. Our relationship is in the past."
