Indifferently, Elisa responded, "You don't need to worry about that. It's not stransaction involving my body. We're even now, Gareth. | don't owe you anything anymore." As a colleague and former spouse, she had done everything possible to help him.
After laying out everything to Thomas, Elisa was ready to follow through on her promise to Mr. Carrerra. She turned around, wanting to leave; before she could even move an inch, Gareth firmly grasped her hand.
Sensing the need for privacy, Thomas discreetly left the private room, giving them space to talk.
Gareth glared at Elisa and spoke chilly, "I'm not someone who dies easily or so soon, and | trust you, Elisa. Why did you strike a deal with a cunning wolf like him, knowing he has ulterior motives?" Elisa paused to compose herself, her eyes meeting Gareth's unwavering gaze. She spoke with conviction, "Gareth, you know the person | am, and you've seen the true extent of Mr. Carrerra's wickedness. What kind of deadly poison did he use on you? We didn't have much tto find you a remedy. | know you wouldn't leavebehind; likewise, | won't let you die without fighting to save you.

In fact, his frustration grew, "It's precisely because he's a cunning and wicked man that the antidote could be a sham! Making a deal with someone like him is the dumbest decision, don't you see that?!" Dumb? Elisa had put herself on the line, risking her own well-being to obtain the antidote and save him, and now she was being called dumb? But Elisa didn't see it that way.

Carrerra to save you. | closed that chapter for good when we signed those divorce papers.” She had sacrificed her aspirations and talents, playing the role of a homemaker, taking care of household chores and cooking, all because of her love for him.

Elisa wouldn't be foolish enough to be deceived by the sman again! Gareth pursed his lips, his gaze filled with pain. After a brief silence, he questioned, "So, you wish to seedead?" Elisa noticed the dimness in Gareth's eyes and immediately regretted her words, "That's not what | meant.” She looked away, avoiding direct eye contact.
"Tell me, what did you trade with him?" Gareth unconsciously tightened his grip on her arms.
Elisa instinctively pulled her arms away.
Realizing this, Gareth loosened his grasp but ultimately didn't let go of her, indicating that he wouldn't give up until she revealed the details of the deal she struck with Mr. Carrerra.
