Thomas had never been at the top of Elisa's priority list.
As Thomas glanced at the somber visage of Gareth in the rearview mirror, he pleaded, "Ms. Benett, it's a matter of life and death. I beg you, can you please expedite?"
This is outrageous!
He had gone to great lengths, risking it all, all for the sake of uniting Mr. Wickham and Miss Benett!
Elisa's lips pursed as she spoke, "It won't change anything even if I were to come now. Thomas, my grandmother, is using Ganoderma Caligo for treatment. You can ask Gareth for some."
Although it was true that consuming the whole Ganoderma Caligo plant yielded better results, Elisa doubted Gareth's altruism to save two lives at once.
Thomas, stunned, hadn't anticipated Gareth's involvement in this matter.
Should he say no? Won't that prove he's just plain heartless regarding his grandpa's life?
Ah, Elisa threw me for a loop with her unexpected moves!
Nevertheless, Thomas was grateful.
Yet, these were all a part of Gareth's schemes.
He mustered the courage to press on and said, "Miss Benett, those Ganoderma Caligo are hard to obtain. While I've been by Mr. Wickham's side for years, it still seems quite improper of me to impose on him for help. He wants Old Madam Wickham to be healthy and live long. How can I possibly ask for this? It would only trouble Mr. Wickham."
Blackmailing Elisa wasn't an option Thomas was willing to consider.
