Chapter 504
Linda chewed her lower lip, and fear crawled over her body, pickling her skin!
She never expected Gareth to say that.
The whole country knew that they were about to be engaged to each other.
Linda had received flattery and felicitation from lots of people.
She had been approached by people who tried to curry favor from her, but now,
Gareth wanted to call off their engagement at the last minute.
Did it mean that she would become a laughingstock just like Elisa?! What the hell is Gareth Wickam
doing?! At this moment, she felt the urge to barge into the room and yell at him, but she…she didn’t
have the courage to enter the ward.
She was distraught at the thought of Gareth saying, “I have decided to cancel our engagement.It’s
good that you came by so I can save myself the trouble of informing you.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLinda clenched her fists, gnashed her teeth, and painstakingly waited for Gareth’s response.Is he…for
real?! Her mind was a fluff, overthinking all the possibilities.
Then, she heard him say, “I am.”
He concluded steadfastly.
Her fear spiked in that instance.She felt like she might throw up.
How…how come?! As anxiety and shock consumed her on the inside, she didn’t realize she had bent
and damaged the doorknob.
Gareth and Jerry noticed the subtle noises.
Jerry strutted to the door and opened it.
Linda was caught off guard! Her pasty face was instantly infused with shock and shame.She didn’t
foresee them opening the door from the inside.
Jerry was surprised to see Linda.
Immediately, he smiled and said, “Hi, Ms.Benett”
Linda’s heartbeat quickened.
She stammered, “Unc…Mr….Wickam…”
Gareth furrowed, turned around, and didn’t say a word.He didn’t seem like he would leave the ward,
nor did he feel awkward about being caught red-handed by Linda.He just simply looked away.
On the contrary, Linda was petrified and embarrassed.She was unsure if she should stay or get going.
Jerry beamed a friendly smile at her, “Are you here for Liz?”
Linda nodded unthinkingly.
She put up a worrisome face and said anxiously, “Yes, I heard that Liz was hurt, so I quickly rushed
over.How is …?”
She was quick to align her thoughts and strode toward Elisa’s bed.She looked at Elisa’s bleached
complexion with fury and jealousy in her eyes! Why! Why ts this b*tch still alive?! She only has a

Why! Jerry did not feel embarrassed about his conversation with Gareth.He just said courteously, “Liz
is fortunate to only suffer a broken rib.She’s fine now.Linda gaped and stammered in panic, “Broken
rib…! Oh, god!”
She looked devastated, “Liz had never gone through such plight…She never had to do house chores
because her family had always pampered her…But now…”
Speaking of this, Linda pretended to be overwhelmed with emotions and at a loss for words.Her
intention was to paint a bad reputation on Elisa and mislead them into thinking she was a spoiled
daughter.
And that she never had to suffer because her family would ensure she had an easy life.
But…
Gareth darted a gaze at Elisa.His gaze was flooded with complex emotions.
During the three years of their marriage, she cooked for him almost daily.She had always waited for
him to come home for dinner.
Yet, he never did.He thought she was absurd when his servants told him about her effort at home just
to please him.
