After expressing her gratitude once again, Elisa and Gareth brought Bella back home.
They did not return to Wickam Manor. Naturally, they did not want to upset Julia.
Of course, the moment Elisa found out that Bella was all right, she immediately called Julia to a*sure her that all was well.

Bella laughed and spun a lie that she and another person had a project they needed to work on together. As such, she would not be able to return to Wickam Manor for a few days.
On the other hand, Elisa did notice something was off and quickly asked, “Grandma, did you catch a seasonal cold?
