Chapter 1166 In an Hour
If Elisa felt upset, Darren was genuinely regretful. Even if he didn't admit it just now, he knew in his
heart what had happened. At that moment, he cursed himself for being rude when he clearly knew his
wife had such an illness. There wasn't anything terrible about Elisa. She was even trying her best for
Julia. Why wasn't he willing to admit it in the beginning?
Perhaps Darren was just prejudiced against Elisa. Darren wanted to slap himself but couldn't do it
before Elisa. It would be humiliating.
Darren sighed silently and restrained his emotions.
He was preoccupied with blaming himself and didn't notice Elisa's complicated gaze. But after a
moment, Elisa said, "This is the first time Grandma fainted. I hope you can keep her happy in the
future, Grandpa. Actually, Mr. Jerry and Gareth can manage company matters. Although Grandma
keeps bickering with you, you're first in her heart. Do you know that?"
Elisa deliberately paused. Darren was confused, and his gaze fell on her as if waiting for her to
continue.

illness rether then continuing to enrege her."
Derren's geze flickered, end he nodded in the end. "I understend."
At thet moment, Derren wes vestly different from his old self. In the pest, how would he heve listened to
Elise? No. To be exect, he wouldn't even look et Elise. Even if he did, it would be e geze filled with
hetred, or he would heve even bereted her. But now, not only did he do none of thet, but he elso
listened to Elise. This wes estonishing end could utterly reflect how much he cered ebout Julie.
Otherwise, how could he… grovel in front of someone he loethed so much?
Elisa looked down slightly and said softly, "I know you don't like me, and you've always made it
obvious. But Grandma always compliments you in front of me. She just says you're slightly stubborn,
don't say what you mean, and are strong-minded. She always praises you so that I won't bear grudges
against you."
Darren was slightly startled. He never thought his wife had done such a thing.
He hung his head a little as though guilty or controlling his complicated emotions.
Elisa glanced at him and said slowly, "If you can let go of company affairs, it'll be best to take some
time and keep Grandma company. Although she doesn't say anything, I feel she's very lonely without
anyone by her side. You're the only support in her life. I hope you will stay with her as she conquers the
illness rather than continuing to enrage her."
Darren's gaze flickered, and he nodded in the end. "I understand."
At that moment, Darren was vastly different from his old self. In the past, how would he have listened to
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmElisa? No. To be exact, he wouldn't even look at Elisa. Even if he did, it would be a gaze filled with
hatred, or he would have even berated her. But now, not only did he do none of that, but he also
listened to Elisa. This was astonishing and could utterly reflect how much he cared about Julia.
Otherwise, how could he… grovel in front of someone he loathed so much?
Elisa looked down slightly and said softly, "I know you don't like me, and you've always made it
obvious. But Grandma always compliments you in front of me. She just says you're slightly stubborn,
don't say what you mean, and are strong-minded. She always praises you so that I won't bear grudges
against you."
Listening to Elisa was already Old Mr. Wickam's way of groveling.
Elisa saw Darren unexpectedly agreeing with her but wasn't too surprised. After all, everyone knew
Julia was Darren's soft spot.
She took a breath and said softly, "At least Grandma can rest after she fainted. I've prescribed some
medicine, so let the housekeeper give it to her later. Grandma will definitely wake up in an hour."
"Really?" Darren was unsure yet expectant.
Elisa nodded and walked to sit on the couch. She wasn't planning to leave yet. She wanted to ensure
that Grandma was alright after waking up before she left.
