Chapter 1351 He Can’t Afford to Be Picky
There seemed to be some indiscernible emotions in his gaze.
Elisa and Gareth had divorced. Thus, he would not dare to look at her with such emotions, no matter the man she
interacted with. Otherwise, it would look like he questioned her about her relationship with the man.
Elisa had no idea who the masked man was.
The masked man did not reveal his identity to her. Moreover, Elisa was worried about getting him into trouble, so
she did not seek him out to ask questions.
"I was only curious."
Even Gareth was surprised by his response.
Am I… explaining?
"I'm curious too. Thomas, can you help me to investigate? There was a masked person near Gareth and me when
we were playing cards."

The man concealed his face and suddenly appeared near them.
Elisa believed it was planned beforehand and not merely a coincidence.
"Sure, I will assign someone to investigate immediately." Thomas nodded without hesitation.
He felt self-conscious in their presence and retreated from the washroom.
Then, Elisa and Gareth were left alone in the washroom again.
Elisa could not leave yet. She needed to keep a close watch on Gareth. Once he finished the final soak, she needed
to give him an injection before leaving the casino.
Neither of them spoke. Gareth observed her quietly and noticed her fair skin and alluring figure.
He was lucky that she returned to him when he was drugged. Otherwise, he would be in serious trouble.
Gareth had no idea when his hatred for her had disappeared. There's still a misunderstanding between us. It's
mostly…
His gaze flickered as he pushed the thought away.
Time passed slowly as they stayed in the narrow washroom. Elisa could not stand the awkward atmosphere and
played a game on her phone.
Suddenly, Gareth's hoarse voice sounded. "The bath is cold…"
"Sure." Elisa put her phone away and continued, "Can you stand up? I'll help you to…"
Elisa instructed him to stand up, but she blushed and looked to the other side when he did. It was because his wet
clothes clung tightly to his body.
Oh no!
I forgot to ask Thomas to buy him a change of clothes!
"Erm… You should soak a little more. I'll ask Thomas to get you clothes. I'll give you an injection after you wear new
clothes," Elisa said awkwardly.
"Why? Didn't you treat me while my clothes were like this just now?"
Gareth frowned slightly in confusion.
"That was an emergency, and I needed to act urgently to stop the drug from taking effect. Since you're much

Then, she left the washroom before Gareth could say anything.
Thomas looked troubled the instant Elisa requested him to buy clothes for Gareth. "Ms. Benett, it's one in the
morning. All department stores are closed. Moreover, traveling back and forth between the hotel and this place will
take…"
Elisa's expression sank upon hearing Thomas, but her eyes suddenly brightened again. "In that case… you should
ask the casino staff for their uniform!"
"I don't think that's a good idea. You know what Mr. Wickam is like."
Mr. Wickam would never wear such low-quality clothes, especially a casino uniform!
"What choice do we have then? It's not the time for him to be picky."
Their priority was to keep him alive and leave the casino safely.
"Ms. Benett, from what I understand about Mr. Wickam, he would never wear a uniform. I should return to the hotel
and bring his clothes here." Thomas sighed softly.
However, Elisa was keenly aware that it would take three hours for a return journey between the casino and the
hotel. It was now one in the morning, so it would already be dawn when Thomas returned with clothes for Gareth.
