Especially when they had feelings for each other. How could Elisa allow Gareth, who was injured, to
leave?
Moreover, Gareth was injured because of Elisa.
Mr. North didn't say anything but was filled with displeasure for Gareth.
He had been by Winslow's side for so many years. How could Winslow not understand what Mr. North
was thinking about?
Winslow pulled Mr. North up and said in a low voice, "Learn from your mistakes and don't make such a
blunder in the future. You better control yourself with Gareth. Don't get killed!"
Winslow didn't want Mr. North to do anything useless or silly.
Mr. North was naturally willing to listen to Winslow's warning.
But he couldn't accept Gareth's actions!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEven if he wasn't a match for Gareth and couldn't compete with Gareth in various aspects.
But he had to try!
What if he could do it?
Winslow didn't say anything else to Mr. North. He only patted Mr. North's shoulder. "Rest well."
On Gareth's end.
Elisa gave him anesthetic and quickly removed the bullet from his shoulder.
But as for the bullet in his chest…
Elisa noticed that it was close to his heart. Although the designated KKCD doctor was around to help
her, their surrounding conditions weren't equipped for major surgery.
It would cause a post-surgery infection and other complications if not dealt with properly.
Furthermore, the drug remnants in Gareth's system had yet to be eliminated. She furrowed her brows
tightly, and her face was cold.
"Are you okay, Gareth?" She only gave him local anesthesia and removed the bullet from his arm. With
the other bullet's position in his chest, she had to quickly remove the other shell from his body.
Gareth's voice wasn't as stable as usual but still discernible. "I'm alright. I trust you. You can operate
here."
If they didn't move and stayed in KKCD Casino, people would still protect Elisa.
If they left, what if those people came back stronger?
He also feared that Elisa would be hurt or get into an accident.
After all, those people had made a move and wanted to kill her on KKCD's territory. Without his prior
training and sensitivity to the sounds of silencers, Elisa would have died by now!
However, the doctor at the side didn't recommend it. "It's not fully equipped here. My office is on the
fifth floor. Although the patient must suffer a little and endure for a while, it's better if we head there
now!"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGareth grabbed Elisa's hand tightly and said firmly, "We don't have to move. You can do it here. I trust
you."
It would take at least a few minutes to move. Many things could happen. He wasn't healthy enough to
protect her, so he had to eliminate any possibility of an accident!
Elisa sensed his resolve. They hadn't interacted in a long time, and Elisa was also aware of the iciness
in his palm.
His hand used to be warm…
"Gareth, you could have left and ignored me. You…" Elisa's voice was hoarse, and the corners of her
eyes filled with tears.
Her heart hurt. It was as though someone was torturing her repeatedly.
The usual solemn and indifferent Gareth slowly revealed a smile at this time.
He said, "We came together, so we must leave together. We're husband and wife. How can I ignore
you? Start the surgery. There's no time."
This almost made Elisa cry.
