Elisa came to her senses and shook her head. “No.”
She thought of Linda but felt there was nothing to tell Gareth about.
Gareth and Linda had a complex relationship. Even when he knew that Linda wasn’t his savior, he
treated her differently at the end of the day.
Gareth’s face darkened at Elisa’s refusal to speak. In the end, he was just meddling. She didn’t even
consider using him.
Pfft…
Gareth got up and didn’t say anything to her as he walked out.
He shut the door softly, but Elisa could tell he was unhappy.
She leaned against the headboard and couldn’t be bothered to call after him or say anything else to
him.
She had never considered asking Gareth to help her with anything. They were from two different

…
That night, many people slept soundly, but some couldn’t sleep well.
Elisa kept waking up and had one thing on her mind. She shouldn’t stay here.
The next day, she wanted to look for Gareth after waking and washing up, but he wasn’t around.
Rachel was with her instead.
Elisa said softly, “Rach, why don’t we go home?”
She knew that Rach had come to keep her company.
She didn’t beat around the bush.
Rachel was slightly astonished. “But you’re still injured! It’s inconvenient to go back now.”
Elisa pursed her lips. “I can’t continue staying here to go on the inspection with Gareth in my current
condition. He can continue the inspection by himself. I’m only weighing him down if I recuperate here.”
Rachel thought of something and immediately said worriedly, “That’s right! You must have been injured
because of Gareth! He’s clearly the one who’s weighing you down. What if he’s met with an
assassination again? And you’re still injured… Oh my god! Let’s go! I’ll get Vincent to send us back!”
Elisa’s eyes flashed slightly. In an instant, she suddenly didn’t feel like leaving.
Rach didn’t know that this had happened because of Elisa. It was only natural that Rach didn’t want
Elisa and Gareth to interact too closely.
But… if the mastermind knew that Elisa was going to leave with Rach, Rach might very well be
dragged into it.
Uneasiness flickered across Elisa’s eyes. Why is she being so careless now?
“Liz?” Rachel called out to Elisa when she saw Elisa silent. “I’ll go and prepare now. Eat everything
here. We’ll leave shortly!”
Elisa immediately said, “No.”
Rachel was slightly baffled. “Why?”

“I suddenly feel like I can’t leave yet. My wound might get inflamed on the way home. It’ll be bad if I
can’t tend to it in time.”
“Ah… why don’t we get a doctor?”
“There’s no need for that. I better stay here and rest. Let’s leave in two days.”
Rachel hesitated slightly. “But… what if you’re dragged into the mess again?”
At that moment, Rachel was really quite worried.
Elisa smiled and said with ease, “They won’t make a move for the time being after failing this time.
They didn’t manage to kill anyone. If they make a move frequently, it will only expose themselves,
which would disadvantage them.”
Rachel frowned. She felt something wasn’t right, but she couldn’t quite put her finger on it. She could
only nod. “Alright. What you said makes sense. Let me know when you want to leave. We’ll leave at
once!”
“Mm. Alright.” Elisa felt a warmth in her heart. It was like the heavens took special care of her whenever
she was with her best friends.
