It meant the poison had spread in his body.
"Mr. Wilber, bring me all the medical equipment right now. Gareth's poison has spread. He needs
urgent treatment."
Elisa adjusted Gareth's seat so that it became flat. That would allow him to lay on it more comfortably.
Once she was done, Gareth's assistant and bodyguard arrived with the medical equipment.
They had received special training and were qualified to assist Elisa.
Elisa quickly changed into a surgical scrub and disinfected her hands before leading a few men to
begin surgery on Gareth.
"Hemostat! The flesh around the wound has festered and has to be removed with forceps!"
"Suture forceps!"
"Gauze!"

from exhaustion and allowed a flight attendant to wipe the sweat on her brow.
"Ms. Benett, you're amazing! I did not expect a mere assistant like me would have a chance to
participate in surgery! It's an incredible experience. Thank you, Ms. Benett. I will inform Mr. Wickam
what happened once he regains consciousness."
The assistant kneeled beside Elisa and chattered excitedly. Elisa could only respond with a weak smile.
She was too tired to say anything.
Then, the assistant brought a glass of water and food. He also got her a bottle of glucose. Elisa was
too exhausted to eat, so the bottle of glucose was what she needed the most.
After sending Gareth to a hospital in the city and arranging for someone to care for him, Elisa rushed to
Wickam Residence.
…
Wickam Residence was as luxurious as she remembered. The garden before the front door had been
renovated. Even though Elisa often came here, she almost lost her way while searching for the main
entrance. Thankfully, the servants recognized her and brought her to Julia's bedroom.
Julia was asleep. Elisa could not bear to wake her up and sat on the couch in the living room to wait for
her.
Elisa glanced at the unfamiliar yet somewhat familiar surroundings. Suddenly, memories flooded her
mind, leaving her feeling conflicted.
"Liz, you're here! Why didn't you wake me up? You must have waited for a long time!"
An older female voice sounded from the stairs as Elisa was in a daze. Elisa set her concerns aside and
rushed to support Julia at the stairs. She was dressed in a pajamas with a jacket over it. "Grandma,
why are you here? Are you feeling better?"
"Yes, I feel much better. I'm not so ill as to be unable to get out of bed." Julia smiled and looked at Elisa

Her kind gaze made Elisa feel awkward. She looked down and adjusted her emotions before saying,
"Grandma, you should wash up and have breakfast first. I will check your condition afterward."
"Sure, sure! Liz, you're such a good granddaughter. You're at least ten times better than that br*t!"
Julia suddenly recalled something after mentioning Gareth. She glanced at the villa's surrounding with
anticipation. Her wizened face turned dejected when she realized the person she most wanted to see
was absent.
Elisa knew Julia wanted to see Gareth. However, Gareth was under observation in ICU. It would be
shocking if he were to show up now.
In order not to worry Julia, Elisa created a lie. "Gareth accidentally fell as he got off the plane and tore
his wound. He is in the hospital now."
Elisa decided to help Gareth hide his poisoning from Julia. After all, this was a matter of the Wickam
family, and she was no longer a part of it. Moreover, she knew she had to calm Julia if she told the
truth. Thus, she decided to lie to avoid causing trouble to herself.
