Why would an old lady have any ill intentions?
She is nothing like Uncle Winslow claimed. Grandma said she only trusted me and refused to take the
medicine without me to get me and Gareth to return to her side.
That way, she can see us again and find the proper chance to match us up.
After all, Grandma has never given up on wanting me and Gareth to get back together.
Elisa nodded. "I know Grandma's intention, but what is impossible will never happen no matter how she
tries. Uncle Winslow, about the matter, can you wait for me to return so that I can investigate with you?
Or, I can also make my arrangements. After all, I'm not a kid anymore. I can handle things by myself."
My mother abandoned me when I was little. My father worked hard to raise me, only to be killed by
Norman and the others, leaving me alone and without support. I have long gotten used to dealing with

things on my own.
Winslow did not say anything but knew he could never let Elisa deal with the matters alone.
Meanwhile, Thomas said, "Old Madam Wickam, I've told Ms. Benett everything as you instructed."
"Good." Julia nodded with approval.
My plan shall proceed perfectly.
Elisa knew she could not hide Julia's severe condition from Gareth.
While Winslow arranged a private plane for Elisa, Elisa left to talk to Gareth.
Gareth sat up immediately when he heard about Julia's condition. "Let's return now."
He sat up too fast and triggered his wound.
However, he only frowned through the pain and did not show other reactions.

Elisa was frightened by his sudden movement but knew he was worried about Julia.
Unfortunately, the present situation…
Elisa sighed and said, "Gareth, I know you're worried about Grandma, but she is in the hospital and
has Thomas to care for her. Therefore, nothing will happen to her. You… I've decided to return first so
you can rest for another day. That way, you will be in a much better condition than today."
Elisa held him down as she spoke.
However, Gareth insisted. "I can bear the pain."
This minor pain is nothing to me!
Elisa arched her eyebrows, seeing how stubborn Gareth was. She replied sternly, "I know you can
stand the pain, but have you not considered what traveling could do to your condition? What will
Grandma think if she sees you injured? You can find your own way back if you don't heed my advice!"
Gareth furrowed his brow and glared at Elisa. He knew she meant well but could not help but feel

agitated.
His expression darkened as he said, "You know Grandma's condition is so severe that you must return.
How could you say those words to me?"
Elisa was rendered speechless.
This b*stard! He always says something hurtful whenever he gets angry and throws tantrums.
Elisa ignored him.
Still, she could not resist saying as she got up to leave, "I choose to leave first because I know how
severe her condition is. Otherwise, with the state of our relationship, why would I want to stay with you
after helping you to obtain Ganoderma Caligo and stabilize Grandma's condition?"
Elisa took out her phone and checked something. Then, she frowned and continued, "The soonest I
can leave is tomorrow."
There were no flight tickets left.
After saying that, Elisa did not wait for Gareth to respond and left immediately.
