Gareth never imagined she would do something like that. Sadness engulfed him.

Elisa took advantage of his distraction and slammed the door shut.

"Slam!"

The sound reverberated throughout the house.

Elisa treated him like an enemy. She didn't want to spend a single second with him.

Gareth stared at the closed door. His expression was tense and cold. He stood there alone for a long, long time…

Inside, Elisa wasn't in a good mood after Gareth had left. She quietly went back to her room.

Rachel and Will both silently agreed to leave her alone.

However, Rachel had to leave for work.

Before leaving, Rachel glanced at Elisa's closed door and said to Will, "Elisa isn't doing well, Mr. Darcey. Please keep an eye on her. Call me if anything else happens. As for Gareth… You need to work harder to make sure she never sees him again!"

He, more than anyone else, wished for Elisa never to see Gareth again. He knew Rachel was worried he'd be stuck in a wheelchair forever and be a burden to Elisa.
Gareth never imagined she would do something like that. Sadness engulfed him.

He will never let that happen.

Rachel left after Will promised to look after Elisa.

Rachel: 'Elisa, Gareth is gone. Don't let whatever he says or does ruin your mood. I'll be at the office. Something came up at work. Rest well. Let me know if you need anything.'

Elisa: 'Okay.'

Elisa replied with just one word and put down the phone.

She was tired, but at the thought of Will all alone in the house, Elisa composed herself and left her room.

To their surprise, another unexpected guest arrived in less than an hour.

Will was the one who opened the door.

He frowned when he saw it was his mother. "Why are you here, Mom?"

Even though Will had moved in with Elisa to make a point to his mother and Gareth, he didn't expect both to find out so soon.

Mrs. Darcey sneered, "What? I can't even visit my son?"

Will's head started to pound at his mother's taunts.
