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 and explained, "Ms. Benett, Old Madam Wickam… She said the medicine was too valuable and 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.
