Chapter 1961 The Outcome When Elisa woke up, she was momentarily disoriented by the pure white ceiling that came into view.
Only after regaining her senses did she finally manage to prop herself up.
He's staying by my side at this hour, which means he has likely spent the whole night here.
The noise roused Gareth, and he quickly sat up, looking at her with concern. “You're awake. Do you feel unwell anywhere?” Elisa shook her head, and then she quickly nodded.
Nonplussed, he asked, “Where are you unwell?” She pointed at her belly, feeling a bit abashed.
“You've been sleeping since yesterday afternoon until noon today. It's only natural for you to be hungry,” he commented with a smile, gently patting her head. She stiffened for a brief moment.
Though Gareth felt it, he didn't say anything.
He simply wanted her to get used to his touch.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Wait here for a while.” She nodded.
Hence, the man turned around and went to the open kitchen to make oatmeal.
In the room, Elisa was perfectly positioned to watch him busy himself.
He was wearing a cartoon-themed apron, holding a spoon, and looking quite the part.
She couldn't help but chuckle.
In no time, Gareth brought in a bowl of steaming bacon oatmeal.
When one's mouth could taste nothing but one's saliva, having a bowl of this was equivalent to bliss.
After taking a bite, Elisa fanned her mouth due to the scalding heat.
At the side, he handed her a tissue, signaling her to spit it out.
She did as instructed and finally felt better.
“Take your time. No one's gonna snatch it from you.” Upon closer inspection, one would be able to see a hint of amusement in Gareth's eyes.
Elisa didn't bother looking at him anymore and just kept eating on her own.
She wasn't really sure how to react.
Seeing her like this, he didn't get angry and simply said nonchalantly, “On Mr. Carrerra's side, the police have seized a lot of guns and ammunition, and many people have been caught. But he himself still managed to escape.” When Gareth said these words, his tone was tinged with a trace of regret.
This time, both the police and Gareth likely hoped to apprehend Mr. Carrerra and bring the man to justice.
The police were afraid that Mr. Carrerra might commit another crime, whereas Gareth was afraid Mr. Carrerra might deal with Elisa again in the same way as this time.
After Elisa survived the ordeal and was brought to safety, the doctor examined her and didn't find anything serious other than her irregular eating habits that caused her stomach problems to flare up again, and she had caught a chill.
However, all of these could be treated.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was just that Gareth didn't want her to suffer for no reason.
A profound heaviness settled in Elisa's heart when she learned that Mr. Carrerra had not been captured.
After all, he was a madman who never let any slight go unpunished.
The same had happened because of the Ganoderma Caligo before.
Now that he had lost so many comrades, it remained uncertain what kind of insane retaliation awaited them.
Even the most stringent precautions were meaningless, as there would always be loopholes, careless mistakes, and moments of respite.
With the enemy lurking in the shadows, they couldn't afford even the slightest mistake.
Once a mistake was made, it'd be beyond redemption.
“Where's Hannah?" Elisa's words carried double meaning.
Gareth's body noticeably stiffened. “The real Hannah has been seized. The human trafficking incidents at the border over the years are enough to give her a hard time.” After speaking, he turned his gaze toward Elisa. “As for Kaylee, she... came to the hotel with us.” Elisa raised an eyebrow in slight surprise, sensing that the two seemed to be keeping secrets from her.
However, since he chose not to reveal it, she wouldn't ask either.
She lowered her head and ate her oatmeal, lost in deep thought.
