Mr. North was a burly man. Gareth could not help but wonder what would happen if people saw or
leaked a picture of a muscular man like him feeding him lunch. What would people think of him then?
Would they misunderstand?
Therefore, Gareth refused Mr. North's offer to help.
"I can eat on my own."
However, Elisa protested, "How are you going to do that? I'm afraid you won't be able to move due to
the extent of your injury!"
She immediately took the food from Mr. North and fed Gareth. Gareth was surprisingly cooperative.
Mr. North saw the scene and could not help but pursed his lips.
At the same time, he felt contempt for Gareth.
I've never seen someone so good at faking illness as he!
Still, he did not dare to show his anger. He remembered what his boss had instructed him.
Then, he turned to Elisa. "Ms. Benett, I shall take my leave if there's nothing else."
Elisa nodded. "Sure, go ahead."

you want a sip of water?"
Her words instantly prompted Gareth to recall memories of their three years of marriage.
She was a dutiful wife. She cooked meals and waited for him to come home, always showing concern
for him.
As for him…
Gareth finally realized how she had changed.
A person's good or bad character cannot be faked.
Elisa could not help but frown as she looked at Gareth's calm and thoughtful expression. "Is the food
not to your liking?"
"No, it's fine."
"Are you sure?"
Although Gareth denied it, he still did not look like he enjoyed the food.
"Yes."
Since he denied it, Elisa did not dwell on the matter.
However, Gareth suddenly realized something.
She hasn't had lunch yet.
He frowned and said, "I'll eat on my own."
For some reason, her taking care of him this way did not repel him. Instead, he even enjoyed it.
Still, he felt guilty about eating first while she had not eaten.
Elisa pursed her lips upon hearing him. "You wish to eat by yourself in your present condition? Tell me.
How are you planning to move?"
Gareth was hit with bullets in his chest and arm. The wounds still hurt after surgery. He also had to deal
with the after-effects of the medication.
While Gareth did not seem much affected by the effects of the medication, he would still feel immense
pain from the bullet wounds.
Those bullets would have pierced Elisa's heart and brain without Gareth.
Since he saved her life, the least she could do was feed him and care for him.

a bite, and I'll take a bite after that."
Gareth pursed his lips as he said that.
Still, Elisa would not agree to it even if he was willing.
She smiled and replied, "Is that it? I'm not hungry yet, so I'll eat after you're done. Here, open your
mouth and take another bite!"
Elisa brought a forkful of food to Gareth's lips as she spoke.
She is so close.
Also, what we're doing now only exists between close family members, lovers, and married couples. It
is the act of taking care of loved ones when they are ill.
This scene would have been the very picture of domestic bliss if we did not divorce…
Gareth was surprised by the thoughts that popped up in his mind.
He never had second thoughts on any decision he made.
Yet, Elisa made him doubt his decision again. He wondered if he had lost his mind.
