"Serves him right!"
Elisa thought Julia would show concern and did not expect her to scold Gareth.
"That's the price he has to pay for taking you for granted! Let's not bother about him. You must be tired after your
journey. Let's get some breakfast, and you can rest in the bedroom afterward. I'm an old lady anyway. There's no
need to rush."
Julia held Elisa's hand as they walked and treated her like her biological granddaughter. "You need to rest to better
check my condition later."
"But…" Nothing happened as Elisa expected. Before coming here, she pondered what she could say to comfort
Julia, but those words seemed useless now.
Somehow, she felt awkward as she thought about resting in the bedroom.

familiar's scent on the bed sheet kept her awake.
Elisa had no choice but to lay on the couch and shut her eyes for a few hours.
Later, Elisa went to Julia's room and carefully listened to her heartbeat using the stethoscope. She completed the
checkup and wrote the prescription on a piece of paper.
Julia looked at Elisa's handwriting curiously and could not recognize many of the medicine she wrote. She pursed
her lips and appeared childish.
"Liz, these medicines won't be bitter, right? I can't take them if they are too bitter!"
Elisa smiled and shook her head helplessly. "Grandma, although medicines are bitter, they are necessary for your
recovery. You overcame so much in life. Why would you be afraid of bitter medicine?"
"I've experienced enough bitterness in my younger days. Now, I only wish to enjoy my old age."
As Elisa and Julia bantered, no one noticed a tall figure leaning against the wall. The man did not realize his
expression had turned gentle as he observed the peaceful scene before him.
Is this how a family's warmth feels like? Emotions gushed out from his heart and spread all over him. He stood
straight and cleared his throat to indicate his presence.
Elisa and Julia turned to him at the same time and were stunned to see the smile on Gareth's face.
"You little br*t! Good to see that the fall didn't kill you! You finally remember to come home to see your
grandmother."
Julia stood up with Elisa's support. She kept glancing at Gareth as she walked past him, signaling him about
something.
She knew how Elisa felt about Gareth. All she could hope for was keeping Elisa by her side as long as possible so
that Gareth still had some chance. She could not bear to lose such an excellent granddaughter-in-law to another

Unfortunately, Gareth was terrible at coaxing a woman. Julia had to help her grandson woo her granddaughter-in-
law and clean up his mess.
"Grandma…"
Gareth smiled helplessly. He had no idea that Julia had briefly played out a few scenarios in her mind.
When they arrived in the garden, Elisa glanced behind and realized Gareth was still following them. She recalled
what her uncle had said and smiled at Julia. It's time to make a clean break on some matters!
"Grandma, Mr. Wickam finally made it back, so you should spend some time with him to reconnect. I have to leave
to deal with some matters!"
"Don't leave! You have just returned. There's no need to report to the hospital yet. Did something happen? Did this
br*t anger your again?"
Julia glared at Gareth and became even more infuriated when she saw his helpless expression. "He is a dummy.
Don't take what he said to heart. I will scold him for you if he makes you angry."
