"Can you please not go downstairs first?" Gareth mumbled awkwardly. Perceiving Elisa's confused
gaze, he explained, "Grandma thought we were having sex just now. She'll think I'm weak if you go
down too quickly."
Elisa blushed to the root of her hair as it didn't come to her mind that Julia had mistaken them. Looking
abashed, Elisa was at a loss for words.
Gareth stared at her and let out a cough. "And she'll feed me all kinds of nourishment. Please do me
this favor."
Elisa inhaled deeply to overcome her nervousness. Pretending to be unbothered, she deliberately
sneered, "You do care about your image."
Gareth frowned. "It's not the matter of image but… a man's dignity."

Elisa said nothing else and agreed with his request. However, she didn't stay in the room but went to
catch some fresh air on the balcony. She thought she had lost her mind. When the breeze gently
brushed at her cheeks, she finally felt like she could breathe again.
Gareth stared at Elisa's figure and became lost in his thoughts.
The two only went downstairs during lunchtime. To their surprise, Julia didn't mention the episode this
morning. All of them ignored it and pretended as if nothing had happened.
Gareth thought the matter had passed, but he realized he was too naive when he saw the nutritious
dishes on the table–oysters, pig livers, wild yam…
Besides, there was a bowl of murky soup specially prepared for him.
Elisa almost couldn't contain her laughter but had to put on a nonchalant expression.

"Grandma, I don't want to drink this." Gareth made an appeal.
"You have no choice." Julia answered him with a smile.
Toward the end, Elisa came to Gareth's rescue by offering Julia an acupuncture treatment and asking
her to head back to her room first. Only then did Gareth manage to escape. Elisa also remarked that
those dishes wouldn't help much and that she had more efficient methods. With that, she managed to
persuade Julia to let Gareth off.
"You owe me big time again." Elisa made a face at Gareth.
Before Gareth could say anything, Elisa went to the kitchen to brew Ganoderma Caligo into herbal
soup. It took twenty minutes for the soup to cook. While waiting, Elisa went upstairs to massage Julia to
promote blood circulation.
When the herbal soup was served, Elisa performed acupuncture on Julia to help her better digest the

if the medicine could take effect.
However, the problem was that Julia couldn't digest the medicine and vomited half of the herbal soup
she drank. Even with acupuncture, the medicine barely took effect, which was insufficient for Julia to
recover.
So, Elisa thought of incorporating the medicine into her meal. Replacing the unpleasant-tasting herbal
soup with medicated dishes helped relieve Julia's vomiting and physical discomfort.
Besides Ganoderma Caligo, Elisa also prescribed other drugs, which she mixed into Julia's meal. As
such, the medicine could yield its greatest effectiveness without deterring the patient with its
unpleasant taste.
After a few rounds of trial, the method proved effective. Everyone was overjoyed to witness the
improvement of Julia's condition.
