Uncle Winslow cannot be expected to protect her because they have no blood relation!
However, Gareth could not speak for a while.
He understood why she did not want Rachel to come to Moranta.
Strangely, for reasons he could not fathom, he thought of Will at this moment.
Gareth wanted to ask, but…
Elisa noticed him trying to speak but stopped himself.
Therefore, she encouraged him to talk.
"Gareth, you should speak up if you have anything to say. Stop hesitating."
Since Elisa exposed Gareth, he had no reason to hesitate.
He pursed his lips and said, "Did you reject Will's offer to help?"
"Yes."
Elisa answered despite not knowing why Gareth suddenly brought up Will.

Gareth fell silent.
But it was only for a few seconds. Then, he looked at Elisa and said, "Since you won't accept his help,
please accept mine."
His tone had softened considerably.
Elisa was surprised. This was the first time Gareth spoke to her in such a tone.
Gareth had always been proud. He would never humble himself to offer to help someone.
Yes, he considered that as a humbling act.
Before Elisa could consider further, Gareth continued, "You have been a great help to me in obtaining
Ganoderma Caligo and treating my poisoning. It's only right that I help you."
His explanation sounded reasonable.
Elisa froze briefly. Does he mean we will be even after he helps me this time?
But we stopped owing each other long ago.
Elisa felt they did not need to keep getting entangled over this matter.
Therefore she reacted much more calmly than she used to.
"Gareth, it's because of Grandma that I came here with you to search for Ganoderma Caligo. You knew
this. Also, you got injured because of me, and I knew how to deal with poisoning. You can see me as a
good Samaritan who won't ignore someone injured. Moreover, we were husband and wife."
Elisa expressed her stance, but Gareth had something to say.
"We were married for three years, but I neglected you. Now that you're…"
"You're not going to tell me you discovered good things about me, right? Or that Grandma likes me,
and your grandfather tried to bring us together. Do you think spending the rest of your life with me is not
so bad?"
Gareth fell silent at Elisa's words.

He was sure that Elisa was different from before.
Moreover, she was also not a devious woman.
"Gareth, it doesn't matter why you offer to help. You should stop thinking about this and get a good rest
to recuperate. I will find you if I need your help."
Elisa smiled as she said that.
Gareth had nothing more to say after that.
He could not deny that Elisa was right. What he needed now was to rest and heal his injuries.
Only by doing this could he regain his strength and show up to her aid when she needed him to.
Still, Gareth did not want her to leave. "I wish to recover faster. You have to stay here."
"Sure."
Elisa did not refuse his request.
When Mr. North brought lunch, Elisa tried to take it from him to feed Gareth.
However, Mr. North immediately stopped her.
"Ms. Benett, leave this to me. It's lunchtime. You need to eat too."
Gareth's expression turned cold upon hearing him.
