Chapter 1249 Why Is She Here?
Gareth said indifferently as if he could read her thoughts, "Leave this matter to me."
Elisa gave him a surprised expression. She remained silent, perhaps waiting for him to say more.
Gareth already spoke quietly after regaining his composure, "Linda has cut ties with those standing
behind her. You can continue with what you usually do because the situation is unfolding. Let me
handle the rest."
Elisa narrowed her eyes. "Is there really an advantage to paying for your grandmother's and your own
medical care?"
Gareth's face, barely recuperated, appeared to darken again.
But Elisa nonchalantly grinned, unconcerned. "I don't need you. I can handle these things myself."
"Elisa." With repressed rage, Gareth said her name.

Elisa thought there was nothing else to say if he couldn't grant her this confidence level.
"You...!" The blood vessels in Gareth's temples throbbed.
Elisa missed the change in expression since the automobile's interior was darkly illuminated. She just

the automobile to his house.
No, specifically, it was their former marital home.
Elisa showed no signs of waking up as the automobile stopped again. She had been worn out during
this time and had not slept the previous night. She was exhausted now because she had worked all
day.
Additionally, she was unaware that Gareth was lying beside her when she slept off.
She was still on the bed, sound asleep, when suddenly, she was awakened by a pleasant scent. It had

security, she set the alarm.
However today...
Elisa opened her eyes, shut off the alarm, and felt her body shock violently as she took in the familiar
yet foreign surroundings.
Elisa jerkily got up the next second and looked around the room.
The bedroom was tranquil, still exuding the same elegant and serene atmosphere. This was where she
had lived for several years, which held her most profound memories.
However, due to her prolonged absence, there was a sense of unfamiliarity.
Elisa shook her head in disbelief and closed her eyes. She was still in this environment when she
opened them again, leaving her utterly bewildered.
What's going on? Why am I here?
