"You can't blame him for this; I was the one who asked him to bring me here," Gareth's lips tightened
as he withdrew his gaze from Thomas.
He continued, "Grandma, do you really think it is worth going through all this trouble?" he said
exasperatedly.
Julia's emotions surged as she exclaimed, "If you don't want me to go back and forth, then do as I say.
Have you done it? If not, you have no right to complain about my efforts."
She glared at Gareth with her beady eyes as she reprimanded him.
Julia was exasperated with Gareth and had no intention of wasting time with Gareth.
She glanced around, not seeing Elisa anywhere, and promptly asked, "Where is Lis?"
Gareth quickly responded, "She's in the other room. I'll go get her."

Despite Gareth's frustration, Julia's presence gave him a reason to find Elisa.
Julia gave Thomas a knowing look as they arranged the full meals meticulously together.
Meanwhile, Gareth had arrived at the doorstep of Elisa's room.
Elisa sat at her computer, ready to begin a task, when there was a knock on the door.
She knew it was Gareth who had come to call her for dinner.
Elisa eagerly flung the door open, only to be surprised by the unexpected sight of Julia delivering the
meal.
Elisa was met with Julia's warm smile as she stepped out of her room into the living room.
"Lis, come and have dinner. You must be famished," Julia said affectionately as her eyes gleamed.
Elisa briefly glanced at Gareth before making her way toward Julia.

In their wordless connection, their eyes spoke importance.
Gareth maintained an aloof demeanor as he gazed into her eyes.
Julia approached Elisa with a cane in hand.
Elisa shifted her focus towards Julia as they made their way to the coffee table. "Go on, help yourself,"
Julia suggested.
Elisa took a seat on the sofa near the coffee table. She then nodded, "Grandma, this is amazing. But
wait, what are you doing here?"
Gareth continued to remain indifferent through Elisa's probings.
She remembered that she had explicitly requested a meal from the hotel.
If Gareth didn't orchestrate Grandma's presence, then it was a deliberate choice on her part.
Frustration surged as she was acutely aware of Grandma's true intentions.
Julia smiled and explained, "I overheard Thomas mentioning that he wanted to bring you all some food.

Lis, this meal is nothing in return after everything you've done for me."
Elisa suddenly understood and glanced at Thomas and Gareth.
Both Thomas and Gareth seemed to be utterly clueless on their part.
Elisa trusted them at that moment, but she was worried about Julia.
"Grandma, you are unwell. You should rest well at the hospital. Let Thomas take care of delivering food
or gifts. It's not worth the trouble to keep going back and forth. I wouldn't forgive myself if anything
happened to you on the way," Elisa said as she communicated her worries.
Then, Julia took hold of Elisa's hands and gently patted them as she said, "Elisa, what Grandma is
doing is nothing compared to what you've done. Your efforts are truly remarkable. I understand you
may feel conflicted about the wedding situation..."
