NovelAppGareth didn't chase after her.
But they both arrived at the hotel one after the other.
They didn't say a word to each other even when their eyes flicked past each other.
When they opened the door to the room, their eyes nearly bulged from their sockets as they blinked in shock over the unexpected presence.
Julia was sitting on the sofa in the living room.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTheir blood would have run cold if it weren't for the daylight.
Gareth was the first to break the silence.
"Grandma, what are you doing here?" When she saw them enter the room, Julia rose to her feet, using her walking stick for support.
Her eyes narrowed in disapproval.
Her eyes softened into two crescent moons as she saw their approaching figures. "lI was getting bored in the hospital, so | cto see you two. Have you guys sorted everything out?" Gareth could tell why his grandmother had come. The reason was clear as day.
Elisa held her tongue, eager to hear what Julia had to say.
Julia's eyes were locked on Elisa, waiting for her response.
Elisa had no choice but to answer Julia's question.
"Yes, we've wrapped things up. I'm here to gather my belongings." Julia's eyes widened with excitement when she heard Elisa's answer. "That's wonderful! Let's go, then. | don't like staying in the hospital for too long. Elisa, you're the only one Grandma trusts. Why don't you be my personal physician?" Julia slowly walked over to Elisa and took her hands.
Gareth spoke over Elisa before she could get a word in.
"Grandma, Elisa is very busy right now. She doesn't have tto be your personal physician. If you don't like staying in the hospital, | can have Thomas find another doctor to help you recover at home." Julia shot Gareth a sharp glance.
A disapproving scowl deepened the wrinkles on her forehead.

Julia sighed deeply before continuing, "You've never gottena good doctor before. Do you think this one will be any different? | think Elisa and | would be a good match. You can always cby for a simple prescription if you're too busy." Julia's eyes were pleading as she looked at Elisa. She really wanted Elisa to agree to be her personal physician.
Elisa held her breath for a second longer and let it out quietly, deliberating her response. She could see how much it meant to Julia for her to be her personal physician.
"Grandma, | can help you with your health, but | hope you won't try to get us back together anymore. We've been divorced for a long time. If we were meant to be together, we would have gotten back together by now, or we would have never gotten a divorce in the first place," Elisa imparted.
The information was hard for Julia to swallow, but it was the truth.
If Elisa didn't explain it clearly, Julia would have held onto false hope. In the end, wouldn't that just make her more disappointed? Julia's grip on Elisa's hand tightened. "I understand what you mean. | won't force you to get back together with that b*stard anymore. | only want you to be happy. After all, it was his fault you endured so much pain." Her words didn't fully express her true feelings.
But her thoughts were consumed with one goal—getting Elisa to stay by her side.
"I'm fine as long as you're not forcingto be with Gareth. Don't worry, Grandma. I'll take good care of you and make sure you get better." Elisa gave Julia her word that she would take good care of her.
