Chapter 1118 Turn a Blind Eye
While the group was engaged in the chat, Gareth and Darren appeared suddenly.
Elisa's eyes flickered, but she did not show many emotions. She knew Darren abhorred her, so she
became more careful in her speech. In fact, she would rather clam up.
Little did she know the complicated feelings Darren was having at that moment.
His heart couldn't help aching when he glanced at Julia. He had never expected his wife to be afflicted
with this illness. After all, they had been in the pink of health all this while despite being advanced in
age.

He was even more shocked that Elisa was able to cure Julia. He still found it hard to believe Elisa was
the Mystic Orchid.
Suppressing his overwhelming emotions, he looked at Elisa but was at a loss for words.
Julia shot a glare at Darren when she noticed his abnormal behavior. Darren quickly averted his gaze
and tried to remain calm.
Meanwhile, Elisa pretended to have not noticed his action and continued chatting with the others.
However, Darren sat down beside Julia, which made the latter uneasy. She frowned and turned to look
at Darren. "Aren't you tired?"
Darren shook his head. "Not at all. "
He only wanted to stay with his wife.

Julia's face darkened. "It has been a long day for you. You should get some rest."
"I'm fine," Darren answered gently.
While Julia, Elisa, Gareth, and Jeremy were speechless, Vincent was amused at Darren's persistence.
Ha! Can't he tell that Old Madam Wickham doesn't want him to stay around?
Gareth turned a blind eye to the scene while Jeremy and Elisa remained silent.
Darren was determined to hang around Julia and refused to leave. Due to his presence, Elisa stopped
actively participating in the conversation and merely nodded in agreement occasionally.
Finally, Julia could not stand it anymore. She sprang up, seized Darren's arm, and said with a grown,

"Come with me."
Darren dared not resist Julia, worrying that he might hurt her. So, he stood up obediently and followed
Julia to the washroom.
After closing the door sulkily, Julia turned to Darren and rebuked, "What on earth are you up to?! It's
rare for the children to come and spend time with me. Why do you have to sit beside me all the time?
Can't you return to the bedroom first?"
Darren shook his head and explained pitifully, "I don't mean anything. I just want to stay with you…"
However, Julia did not buy his words. Instead, she laughed out of frustration and said, "Are you kidding
me? Don't I know you hate Elisa? You deliberately sat beside me with a darkened face to intimidate her
and to warn her not to show up anymore, didn't you?"
Darren quickly shook his head. "I swear that's not my intention!"
He was telling the truth, but Julia would not believe him at all!
