Chapter 2042 I Believe You
If Kaylee wasn’t there, does this mean that the pulling sensation I felt in the water was her? Was she
hiding underwater
at that time?
“Could it be her?” Elisa murmured. Gareth was somewhat puzzled, but he kept getting the impression
that she was hiding something.
“Who? Kaylee?” he asked.
Elisa looked up, meeting the concerned gaze of Gareth. After a moment of contemplation, she decided
to voice her inner speculation. Even though it sounded absurd, she did not want to hide anything from
him.
“You know I’m a good swimmer, and that hot spring isn’t that deep, just around one hundred and eighty
meters. I’ve been diving in Gronga before. Isn’t that much more dangerous than this?”
Gareth nodded in agreement. This was also something he could not figure out.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEver since Elisa was brought to the hospital, and with the past three days and two nights of
unconsciousness, he could not figure out how she, who was so proficient in swimming, could have
drowned.
This was also the question he wanted to ask.
Elisa continued. “That day… I soaked in the shallow water area for some time but didn’t spot any of
you. So, I went to the deep water area alone. After soaking for a short time there, I started feeling
anxious and short of breath, so I wanted to get out of the water. But at that moment, I felt a tugging
sensation at my ankle, as if something was pulling at my ankle, dragging me down!” As she spoke, she
seemed to become somewhat agitated.
For her, this was also a very unpleasant memory.
Elisa tugged at Gareth’s arm, her eyes filled with a hint of terror. “That sensation. It felt like a human
hand. Do you understand what I mean?”
Gareth grasped her arm, saying, “I understand. I get what you mean now.”
Only after hearing that did Elisa gradually calm down.
Gareth comforted her, lowered her back onto the bed, and carefully tucked in the quilt. Only then did he
speak. “So what you’re trying to say is… Kaylee sneaked underwater and pulled you and Rachel
down?”
Elisa nodded, then shook her head.
She looked at Gareth, who was staring back at her. They exchanged a glance, and Elisa immediately
understood what he was implying.
Regardless of whether he saw it himself or for whatever reason, Gareth did not believe that there was
someone underwater at that time, let alone think that Kaylee was the cause of everything that
happened.
Elisa stared at Gareth, silently asking if he had noticed anything unusual at that time.
The answer was no
Gareth kept his gaze on her as he struggled to speak. “Vincent and I both jumped into the water at the
time, but we didn’t find anything unusual. More importantly, I later retrieved the surveillance footage at

Mount Lusetonas and found no one had entered before you did.”
Elisa was somewhat disheartened. If it wasn’t Kaylee, who could it be?
She looked at Gareth, her expression serious. “Do you believe me?” she asked slowly, emphasizing
each word.
In actuality, she was a little uncertain. What if Gareth doesn’t believe me?
After all, compared to her speculations, he had seen the actual footage.
“I believe you,” Gareth uttered without any hesitation.
This was the greatest trust he could place in Elisa.
Elisa stared at Gareth, feeling a warm current flowing through her heart, making her feel all cozy and
warm.
“Thank you…” Elisa communicated her gratitude through her words and the gaze she gave Gareth.
The latter simply smiled.
