“How much money are you talking about?”
Upon Gareth's offer of an additional two million, Darren's curiosity about the total sum intensified.
Gareth was transparent about it, stating, “Ten million.”
Ten million plus an additional two million equaled twelve million.
Paying twelve million to remove those three measly bugs might seem expensive, but for Gareth, ensuring Julia's recovery was worth any cost.
As he looked at Julia's pale face on the hospital bed, Darren's expression turned serious.
“Can you please stop worrying me and your grandmother at this age? Hurry up and win Liz back. Wouldn't that solve everything?”
Remarrying Elisa would eliminate concerns about unwanted admirers, and once they realized he was married, they would likely back off.
“I will,” Gareth affirmed.
However, Darren raised a crucial question, “What if your grandmother doesn't get better, doesn't wake up? What then?”
“I won't let such a thing happen, Grandpa. You stay here and take care of Grandma. I have some matters to attend to.” Gareth wanted to stay by Julia's side, but there were still unresolved issues demanding his attention.
Darren, aware of Gareth's intentions, waved him off, allowing him to go.
Gazing at Julia on the hospital bed, he let out a long sigh.
Gareth rendezvoused with Kaylee.
