Chapter 1382 No One Knows You Here
After everything was settled, Elisa delegated the remaining tasks to Thomas.
"Keep a close watch on him and ensure he stays in the bath for at least two hours. Add hot water whenever the
water cools."
"Sure, Ms. Benett. You should go rest now," Thomas remarked, noticing Elisa's drenched sweat and weary
expression.
Elisa nodded and exited Gareth's room.
Surprisingly, less than an hour after Elisa left. Gareth regained consciousness, opening his eyes while immersed in
the medicinal bath.
Thomas, who couldn't bear the humid and hot room, had removed his shirt. He was ecstatic when he saw Gareth
regain consciousness, "You're finally awake, Mr. Wickam!"
Seeing Thomas' muscular chest, Gareth furrowed, "What's going on? Where is she?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThomas immediately realized that Gareth was referring to Elisa and expressing his displeasure. He quickly
explained, "Mr. Wickam, you were feeling so cold, and with the high room temperature, I had to stay with you, but it
was so hot, and I... She couldn't stand it here, so... after Ms. Benett prepared the medicinal bath for you, she
returned to her room to rest."
"Get out now," Gareth ordered though he looked much more at ease.
Thomas dared not disobey his order.
Just as Thomas exited the room, he accidentally bumped into Elisa.
The latter swiftly understood the situation and inquired about Gareth's condition.
"How is he? Considering his condition, I suppose it will take a while until he's healthy to be allowed to discharge.
Given his sensitivity to the cold, it would be good for him to increase his sun exposure."
"In that case, tomorrow you drive us to the beach. A seafood feast will also help improve his condition,"
Meanwhile, Thomas appeared somewhat pitiful and aggrieved.
Elisa found Thomas' reaction somewhat amusing.
She chuckled and said, "You should be grateful he didn't beat you up."
With that, she turned, walked away, and left Thomas alone.
Thomas let out a deep sigh.
He understood the situation, yet he couldn't help but feel wronged.
After all, he hadn't done anything to deserve it!
The following day, Thomas drove them to the beach.
Once they checked in at the hotel and deposited their belongings, Elisa changed into her beachwear. She embarked
on their excursion, clad in sun-protective clothing.
Gareth opted for a pair of beach shorts in a light color palette.
He seemed reluctant to wear them, as Thomas could discern from his chilly expression.
However, with Gareth's health in mind, Thomas urged, "Mr. Wickam, Ms. Benett has already set off. Remember how
you were shivering last night? And let's not forget that Ms. Benett agreed to accompany you to the beach. It's a
wonderful opportunity, isn't it?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGareth remained silent but cast Thomas a frigid glance.
Soon after, he left Thomas behind and strode toward the beach.
Upon reaching the shoreline, Elisa was already leisurely reclining on a wicker chair, holding a glass of juice.
On the other hand, Gareth placed a bottle of medicinal oil on the table before her.
"What's the matter?" As she saw him casually placing the items in front of her, Elisa couldn't help but frown and
scowl at him.
Gareth replied sternly, "I don't want to get sunburned."
"Oh?" Elisa turned her head, displaying an indifferent expression as if she couldn't be bothered. "Isn't Thomas
here?"
Gareth's expression immediately turned sour, his words filled with a hint of grudges. "I don't want to be the center
of attention."
It was indeed an odd situation with two grown men.
However, in a playful mood, she chuckled and retorted, "If you don't want to be the center of attention, put on
sunglasses and avoid looking at them. Besides, we're in a foreign country; no one knows you here."
