    CHAPTER 1169 WAIT FOR ME. IT’S CRUCIAL


    Because Darren had never been someone to go back on his word.


    She believed his promise entirely!


    Darren saw Julia''s happy appearance, and his congested heart seemed relieved. He looked at her in


    delight. "Let''s have lunch?"


    "Alright! My stomach has been rumbling. Let''s go. I''m famished." As Julia spoke, she held onto


    Darren''s hand and got out of bed. Darren stared at her nervously, afraid she would fall. The two went to


    the washroom, washed their hands, and sat at the dining table.


    They looked very loving.


    Furthermore, Old Mrs. Wickam was in a great mood.


    …


    Elisa left after knowing that Julia had awoken. She didn''t go out to meet Grandma because they would


    chat if they saw each other. Elisa had more important things to do now. At that moment, she was


    already in the car, rushing to Wickam Group.


    She had also called Gareth, and he answered quickly.


    Before he could say anything, she said, "Are you in the office? I''ming to look for you now."


    "Yes."


    Elisa answered, "Wait for me. It''s crucial."


    After that, Elisa ended the call.


    She wouldn''t have personally looked for Gareth if it was something ordinary, not caring if he was busy.


    Elisa arrived at Gareth''s office at two forty-five. Because everyone knew her, Thomas had instructed


    the reception and security guards not to stop Elisa nor pay attention to which elevator she used. She


    quickly arrived at Gareth''s office.


    As she was in the lounge, many saw her, and thepany employees started discussing it. Elisa and


    Gareth''s current rtionship was ambiguous and unclear, so many people couldn''t help gossip about


    them.


    After all, Elisa and Gareth were well-known figures who appeared right before them. Who would be


    able to stay indifferent? At most, they would just control themselves and not say anything.


    Elisa knocked when she arrived at Gareth''s office. "It''s me."

    "Come in." His voice was aloof, as usual. Elisa didn''t pay much attention and walked into the office.


    She cut to the chase when she saw Gareth sitting before his desk but not working. "I just came from


    Grandma''s."


    Gareth''s brows furrowed tightly. When Elisa had said it was crucial, he guessed it had something to do


    with Grandma.


    Elisa said in a low voice, "Grandma suddenly fainted today, so Old Mr. Wickam called me. I rushed


    over and told him she had fainted because she had been agitated. But in reality, Grandma is


    deteriorating quickly."


    Gareth''s brows wrinkled tightly. "Isn''t the medicine alleviating it?"


    "It is. I can only say Grandma is deteriorating slower. Grandma''s illness is quite serious. It''s gradually


    developing toward small-cell carcinoma."


    "Small cell." Gareth''s expression seemed to turn nasty, and his eyes grew cold.


    Lung cancer was a form of small-cell carcinoma, and it deteriorated quickly. ording to the doctor,


    patients under normal circumstances had a life expectancy of one year if they responded well to


    treatment. Two years at best. Five years was a miracle. But if they didn''t respond well to treatment,


    they might sumb to the illness within three to six months.
