Gareth didn't chase after her.
But they both arrived at the hotel one after the other.
They didn't say a word to each other even when their eyes flicked past each other.
When they opened the door to the room, their eyes nearly bulged from their sockets as they blinked in shock over the unexpected presence.
Julia was sitting on the sofa in the living room.
Their blood would have run cold if it weren't for the daylight.
Gareth was the first to break the silence.
"Grandma, what are you doing here?"
When she saw them enter the room, Julia rose to her feet, using her walking stick for support.
Her eyes narrowed in disapproval.
Her eyes softened into two crescent moons as she saw their approaching figures. "I was getting bored in the hospital, so I came to see you two. Have you guys sorted everything out?"
Gareth could tell why his grandmother had come. The reason was clear as day.
Elisa held her tongue, eager to hear what Julia had to say.
Julia's eyes were locked on Elisa, waiting for her response.
Elisa had no choice but to answer Julia's question.
"Yes, we've wrapped things up. I'm here to gather my belongings."
Julia's eyes widened with excitement when she heard Elisa's answer. "That's wonderful! Let's go, then. I don't like staying in the hospital for too long. Elisa, you're the only one Grandma trusts. Why don't you be my personal physician?"
Julia slowly walked over to Elisa and took her hands.
