Chapter 1660 Not Willing

Returning to Wickam Manor was out of the question, and bringing Gareth to her place wasn't a viable option either.

Elisa considered Thomas and said, "Hey, Thomas, how about taking him to your place? Cause honestly, given the

current state of our relationship, it's not good for me to be involved in his affair too much."

"I still have some emergency pills here. You still have the prescriptions I gave you last time, right? With your

efficiency, you can prepare those medicines today. Then tomorrow, you can continue decocting and bathing him as

per the previous instructions."

"Huh?!"

Thomas had expected Elisa to suggest bringing Gareth to her place, so he was taken aback when she refused and

proposed going through the trouble instead. Had their relationship become so strained once again?

But didn't they attend the Garner family gathering earlier today? To everyone else, it looked like they had reconciled

and remarried.

Noticing Thomas's surprise at her request, "What's wrong? Is it inconvenient to bring him to your place?"

"It's not about that. Considering Mr. Wickam's current condition, it would be better to have a professional by his

side, don't you think? Ms. Benett, I'm just being practical. If I were to replace another doctor for Mr. Wickam now and

risk leaking his current health condition to his enemies. Then it would… You know Mr. Wickam's condition the best,

and it would be ideal if you stayed by his side to care for him."

"My house is tiny, and there might not be enough space if you come along," Thomas carried on voicing his

objection.

"My house is tiny, and there might not be enough space if you come along," Thomas carried on voicing his

objection.

Elisa paused for a moment, realizing that Thomas had a valid point.

She glanced at Gareth, who was sitting in the back seat. Despite lingering anger over his earlier actions, she

couldn't deny that Gareth had shielded her from the bullet.

Elisa didn't want to give him any more ammunition to use against her!

Reluctantly, she brought Thomas and Gareth back to her own place.

Thomas followed the prescription she gave him and prepared the medicines. Throughout the night, he toiled

between boiling the medicine and supervising Gareth's medicated bath while Elisa administered the medicine,

staying by Gareth's side all night.

Gareth remained in an unconscious state throughout the night.

In the morning, Elisa checked Gareth's pulse. Although it wasn't as steady as before, it improved much compared to

when the poison flared up the previous day.

Considering she had a meeting with the business partners, Elisa told Thomas, "You stay here and take care of him.

Make sure he eats something when he wakes up. If there's anything unusual, just call me."

"Are you heading out, Ms. Benett?" Thomas marveled at Elisa's fresh appearance, impressed by how put together

she looked despite not sleeping all night.

Elisa nodded and replied, "Yeah, you remember the car accident that Will and I were involved in? I am responsible

for taking care of him, and I also have a meeting with our business partners today."

"I see. Don't worry, Ms. Benett. You go ahead and do what you need to do. I'll take care of Mr. Wickam here,"

Thomas assured her.

Elisa had matters to attend to, and Thomas understood that he shouldn't stop her.

However, during Elisa's meeting with the three business partners, they inquired about Gareth, "Mrs. Wickam, isn't

Mr. Wickam here with you today?"

Despite the Benett family's prominence as a well-established company in Bayswe, Gareth's influence and authority

convinced them to cooperate with Elisa.

They were displeased that Gareth was absent from the meeting.

Elisa could sense their chagrin and smiled in response, "Mr. Wickam might have had a little too much to drink at the

Garner family's banquet yesterday. However, his presence or absence doesn't change anything about our

collaboration."
