Chapter 2057 Verbal Sparring


    Gareth had put a great deal of effort into his cooking.


    Elisa chuckled and began serving the food to Be. “If you find it tasty, feel free to have more.”


    Be was initially cheerful, but her mood suddenly soured.


    When Elisa asked, Be simply said she was feeling a bit nostalgic.


    Seeing her expression, Elisa could roughly understand what Be was reminiscing about.


    Be was simply thinking about her grandmother and Rachel.


    If everything had gone as nned, they would be sitting together at the same table, enjoying a meal.


    Instead of being in the hospital, it was just the three of them, all alone..


    The root of all these problems was the annoying Kaylee.


    Although Gareth didn’t really want to address this issue, since it had been brought up, he had no


    choice but to discuss it.


    Gareth put down his fork and looked at Be and Elisa. “I’ve given this matter a lot of thought. I trust


    Elisa, and I also feel that there’s something suspicious about this. Therefore, I n to return to


    Wyrithian, which is Kaylee’s hometown, to investigate. By the time Ie back, everything should be


    resolved easily.”


    Seizing that opportunity, Gareth made his stance clear andid out his action n.


    Elisa and Be exchanged a nce.


    Elisa voiced her concern. “Won’t this be too dangerous? How about we wait until I’ve recovered from


    my injuries? Then we can go together.”


    Gareth originally wanted to refuse, but this time, Elisa was surprisingly firm.


    She genuinely didn’t want anything unexpected to happen to the only people left by her side.


    The whole situation with Kaylee was already quite mysterious. Therefore, she believed it would be


    better if they went together. At least they could watch out for each other that way.


    Unable to resist Elisa’s insistence, Gareth agreed.


    “So, did the doctor mention when Elisa can be discharged?” Be asked casually at that moment.


    Gareth said, “She’ll probably need to stay in the hospital for observation for about three more days, just


    to be on the safe side.”


    Elisa nodded while Be kept muttering the phrase ‘three days’ under her breath, looking deeply


    troubled.


    Elisa noticed something was off and asked, “Is something wrong? Just tell me. I’m in good health. I’m


    only staying in the hospital for precautionary observation. I know my own body. If necessary, I can


    leave the hospital at any time.”


    Before Be could say anything, Gareth scolded, “Nonsense! How can you joke about your own


    health?”


    “I’m not joking. I am a doctor myself. How could I not understand? Also, to be frank, there’s not a single


    doctor in the entire hospital who can surpass my skills.


    What Elisa said might sound a bit harsh, but it was nothing but the truth.


    Be saw the two about to start arguing and wanted to mediate, but they were speaking back and forth


    so quickly that they didn’t give her a chance at all.

    “Even a doctor doesn’t treat themselves. You know that well,” said Gareth.


    “That’s what people generally say, but I know my own body best,” Elisa retorted.


    “No. I simply won’t agree to your discharge from the hospital right now.”


    “I am an adult. I don’t need anyone’s control or approval for my actions.”


    Seeing the conflict about to escte, Be raised her voice, “Hold on, hold on, how about we listen to


    what I have to say before deciding-”


    “Shut up!” Elisa and Gareth shouted in unison.
