Winslow discovered Elisa's intention and stopped insisting that she stay in her country.
However…
Elisa's phone suddenly rang before she could say anything. It was a call from Thomas.
Her heart clenched with a bad premonition as she became aware of the time difference.
Thomas' urgent voice sounded the instant she accepted the call. "Ms. Benett, Old Madam Wickam is in
a dire condition and has been sent to the emergency room. When can you and Mr. Wickam return?"
Elisa furrowed her brow upon hearing him. "Didn't I tell you the medicine formula?"
Furthermore, Thomas had helped Elisa prepare medicine many times. Therefore, Elisa sent the
medicine formula to his phone. All he had to do was to follow the instructions.
He had left for two days, so Elisa thought Julia had taken the medicine. Unfortunately, she was wrong.
Thomas glanced at Julia's weak condition and recalled Gareth and Elisa's situation. He steeled himself

refused to let me prepare it. She also said she could only trust you. Didn't you say you will be returning
in a few days? Old Madam Wickam waited for you and Mr. Wickam to return. Who knew… The doctor
has issued a notification of terminal status for her."
It meant Julia's illness was too severe to afford any delay. Her life had been hanging on a thread for
some time and was prolonged through medication. Once they obtained Ganoderma Caligo, Elisa
immediately dispatched Thomas to bring it back to Julia. She even messaged him all the steps to
prepare the medicine for Julia.
Yet, the situation worsened.
Elisa had no choice but to return. With Julia in such a severe condition, her body might not withstand
the effects of Ganoderma Caligo even if she were to consume it now.
Elisa pursed her lips and appeared solemn. "I understand."
Initially, she planned to follow her uncle's advice and let Gareth rest for a few more days before
returning. Now, they had to return earlier.
While Gareth could withstand his injuries, Julia might not last much longer.
Winslow heard the word 'medicine formula' and instantly understood the matter.
Even without considering the importance of her status or her abandonment of it, Elisa and Gareth had
long divorced. Winslow felt she did not need to get involved in matters of the Wickam family.
Thus, Winslow seemed agitated about it. "Liz, aging, and death is a part of life. I understand Gareth
paid the most for Ganoderma Caligo, but you know how much trouble it caused. Even if you cure his
grandmother this time, what happens if she is ill again? What will you do then?"
"You said you wish to stay away from Gareth, but why do you keep getting involved in his family
matters? I understand you're kind, but don't let it be a weakness for others to manipulate you with!"
Elisa could not deny that Winslow was telling the truth.

nothing.
Elisa was briefly silent before looking into Winslow's eyes. She said gradually, "Uncle Winslow, if
someone shows you kindness when you are at your lowest point, I believe you too will help this person
when they are in trouble, even if you are not related to them."
Humans are compassionate beings.
Even Winslow understood that.
However, he felt the matter was not that simple.
Winslow replied frankly, "Liz, I don't bring up something without good reasons. You sent someone to
bring the medicine to her a few days ago. Why would a terminally ill person refuse medicine that could
save her life? Don't you suspect this might be a trap?"
