Chapter 199 You’re Up Early
“Got it.”
Seeing that Gareth had no other orders, Thomas nodded and left.
…
Under Elisa’s unwavering determination, she found a medicine bottle without any labels.
When she opened it, she saw white, rounded pills.
What are these? What illness did Dad contract back then? Did he keep it from me so that I wouldn’t be
worried?
Her lips were pressed together into a fine line, but she placed the pills back into the bottle to avoid
notice.
Apart from that, there were no other suspicious things in the room, and she eventually gave up on her
search.

In addition to that, she seemed to have seen her father when she was in a half-asleep state.
She immediately sat up, but just as she was about to call him out, the figure suddenly disappeared.
The room was extremely quiet. She could not help heaving a sigh, knowing that it was just an illusion.
She curled her legs to herself and hugged the blankets.
I really miss him.
Just like that, the night slowly passed.
Elisa did not have a good sleep for the rest of the night, so she woke up early the next day. After
brushing up, she went downstairs and saw Rose getting busy in the kitchen.
This family really knows how to put on a show. She snorted internally.
When they had just moved over, Rose claimed that she would do the chores and cooking, but they had
maids who had already been doing that.
Nevertheless, she was great at cooking, so she often cooked delicious food for them, making Elisa’s
father feel guilty. Because of that, he treated Norman’s family even better.
Unfortunately, in exchange for his kindness, they betrayed him and plotted against him as if they were
a pack of wolves.
In fact, even wolves were social creatures who would cherish their pack. But Norman and his family are
worse!
Elisa clenched her fists slightly, but she immediately calmed down as soon as Rose turned around to
look at her.
With a smile, Rose asked, “Why are you up so early today? Not sleeping in?”
“I think I didn’t sleep well in Dad’s room, so I plan to go back today.” She looked at Rose peacefully.
When the latter looked sorry for her, she added, “Last night, I dreamed of Dad. He was telling me that
his death was unjust, and he even bled tears of blood.”
Rose’s expression immediately changed upon hearing that, but she just heaved a sigh. “Alas… it is
true that your father was way too young when he passed. If we found out about his heart condition

As she elaborated on the topic, she seemed to be more miserable, as if her own father had passed
away.
Elisa merely ignored her and announced, “Aunt Rose, I have some other matters to deal with, so I will
take my leave first.”
“Oh, no, Liz! At least have some breakfast! I made some porridge specially for you, and it tastes quite
nice. Have some of it before you go. It’s not healthy to skip breakfast!”
As soon as she finished speaking, Linda also reached the kitchen. When she saw that Elisa was about
to leave, she quickly walked over. “Liz, you can’t be that busy to be unable to spare another ten to
fifteen minutes. Let’s have breakfast first, and I have something to tell you too.”
Elisa shot a glance at her before finally giving a nod. “Sure.”
Linda froze slightly. Elisa seems to agree with us without any objections lately. Why do I have an
ominous feeling about this?
Shortly after that, Norman also came from the second floor. With a smile on his face, he noted, “You’re
up quite early, Liz.”
