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.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAm |... 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." "I suspect he's the man in private lounge number 4098. Can you see if you can discover his identity?" The man concealed his face and suddenly appeared near them.
Elisa believed it was planned beforehand and not merely a coincidence.
"Sure, | 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.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOh no! | 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 | needed to act urgently to stop the drug from taking effect. Since you're much better now, | can't let you walk out of here naked, right?" Elisa asked in response to his question.
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 | understand about Mr. Wickam, he would never wear a uniform. | 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.
