Chapter 1757 Conditions
How could Gareth let her go so easily?
He held onto her hand, refusing to let go.
Elisa could feel his pulse as she tried to shake him off.
It was weak and irregular.
Elisa couldn't help but remember Gareth taking a bullet for her.
She softened towards him in the end, "Gareth, how can I talk some sense into you? Being stubborn will do you no
good."
She feared the worst-case scenario that Jeremy was worried about.
Elisa sighed. "Lie down and rest. I can't have you running back and forth from the hospital like this. You can stay

She helped him up.
They were once married, after all, and he had defended her in front of Mrs. Darcey. Elisa couldn't watch him leave
in such a sorry state.
Gareth was elated by Elisa's change of heart. What conditions? Just name them!
But he couldn't appear too eager. "What do you think I'm capable of in my current state?"
He coughed again.
Elisa and Jeremy both agreed his condition was severe. He could feel its strain on his body, but he could handle it.
Gareth's body needed to withstand the tests Jeremy was conducting on him.
Elisa didn't say a word. Now that she thought about it, Gareth had arrived when she, Rachel, and Will were having
dinner. She realized Gareth must have stayed. Otherwise, he wouldn't have arrived when Mrs. Darcey appeared.
"Have… Have you had dinner?"
Elisa pursed her lips. Food was vital especially to someone with Gareth's condition. He wasn't fainting on her watch.
It was fine. She could handle one meal.
Gareth stared at Elisa from the couch. She was close enough for him to see how pale her skin was. Her
collarbones…
"I'm talking to you. I'll make you something if you haven't eaten yet." Elisa interrupted his thoughts.
Gareth shook his head.
He hadn't eaten since he left the hospital.
"Then rest well for now. I'll make something for you to eat." Said Elisa. "Take your pills after you're done eating. I
don't want to see you wandering around. It won't do you any good."
"If I'm staying with you, should you tell Jeremy to send my medication and equipment here?" Gareth grabbed a

Elisa, "…"
She was driven speechless by his audacity. Send his medication and equipment here? Was he treating her place as
a hospital or a shelter?
She wanted to say something but held her tongue after some thought. "You're not staying here long term. It'll affect
both of our lives."
Gareth frowned and asked, "What should I do then? I can't move around. How about selling me this apartment? I'll
pay you to treat me. How does that sound?"
Gareth sounded like he was begging her.
Elisa didn't expect Gareth to come up with this idea. Nor did she think he would plead with her in this manner. She
shook her head. "Selling the apartment is out of the question. Forget about paying me. I'm partly to blame for your
condition anyways. All I want you to do is stop acting and saying things that are out of character."
