As Gareth spoke, he sighed deeply.

He looked at Elisa. His impenetrable black eyes were slightly pitiful.

But Elisa wasn't stirred by such an expression of his. As for what he mentioned, she answered indifferently. "Mr. Wickam, weren't you very confident? Nothing will happen to you, even if it flares up briefly. You can call Thomas or contact Jeremy. You're taking the medicine. I'm treating you and looking after you. You…"

"I'm scared of dying!"

Before Elisa could finish speaking. Gareth quickly interrupted her.

He had a stiff demeanor.

His black eyes were intertwined with slight panic.

Elisa was sure that she had seen it. Moreover, she saw it clearly.

Gareth is afraid of dying. This is really… What should I say?

Elisa pursed her lips. After a moment's silence, she slowly answered. "If you're afraid of dying, why did you take a bullet for me?"

"And what you previously said to me. Don't you feel like you're contradicting yourself, Gareth Wickam?"

Gareth only wanted Elisa to stay and for her to sympathize with him.

He didn't panic after what he had said in a rush, which caused her to be suspicious instead. He slowly explained. "Because I'm now by your side. We eat and take walks together, and I prepare breakfast for you. I've experienced such unique and beautiful moments, so I'm afraid…"

Elisa suddenly didn't know what to say after his explanation.

He was now afraid and found out how amazing she was. What about the past?

If he had said anything earlier. However…

Elisa took a deep breath and looked away. She stopped looking at Gareth. "Gareth Wickam, are you being possessed? Why are you saying such things…"

"I'm serious!" Gareth said decisively. The next moment, he walked to Elisa.

His lofty figure leaned forward, and she smelled his cold yet familiar scent.

She suddenly couldn't breathe.

His hoarse voice immediately rang. "I know you find it strange that I can say such a thing, but I mean it. When I was between life and death, I understood. I only regretted it and understood your value after I lost you, especially when Will appeared by your side."

"Liz, can we start over?"

Gareth's black eyes were gentle yet firm.

Elisa used to long for such a scene.

But now?
