After the whole day, she was exhausted. She showered, blow-dried her hair, and lay in her bedroom.
But…
An indescribable yet complicated feeling was in her heart when she thought about Gareth being sick. Her eyes had been shut, but she suddenly opened them slowly.
How… is he like when he's tormented by his illness?
How has he endured it alone?
Grandma was so optimistic every day. Elisa guessed that when Jeremy had examined Gareth and discovered it, Gareth had chosen to hide it so no one would know. Otherwise, Grandma wouldn't have been able to take it.
Elisa even doubted if Gareth's parents knew about it.
Her brows furrowed tightly, and she pondered momentarily before finally abandoning her distracting thoughts and shutting her eyes.
…
The next day, Elisa woke up early because today was the day of Grandma's treatment.
Although she couldn't do anything, she was worried and wanted to take a look.
She was halfway down the stairs when she saw Gareth dressed and ready to leave.
When he heard a noise, he turned and looked at the person slowly walking down the stairs. Gareth said calmly, "You don't have to go today."
"I'd better go. Otherwise, I'll be worried." Elisa's voice was serene. She spoke as she walked down the stairs. "It's not because I don't trust Jeremy. I want to see how Grandma is because I'm afraid she'll worry or overthink. I'm afraid she'll be suspicious because she's too smart."
