Chapter 1918 A Ruthless Rich Man

In the blink of an eye, it was already midnight.

Elisa noticed that Julia was yawning incessantly, yet she was unwilling to go to sleep.

Elisa could probably guess the reason.

While speaking, she would occasionally glance at Julia.

As she couldn't help but wipe the tears welling up in her eyes, Elisa and Gareth exchanged a glance.

Elisa sat down next to Julia, gently patting her on the shoulder.

By this point, Julia had finally regained her composure, although her eyes remained slightly clouded, tinged with red veins.

Beneath her eyes, a hint of dark circles was visible, something even the most exquisite makeup couldn't conceal. Of course, it was only when Elisa got closer that she noticed it.

This made her heart ache even more.

It seemed that during the time the two were missing, Julia spent countless nights awake, unable to sleep.


She wanted to be the first to receive news from the two of them, yet she feared she wouldn't be able to face the message.

Hence, a month passed amidst worries and struggles. Finally, her body was completely worn out even after Elisa nursed and reinstated her health.

With this in mind, a look of heartache surfaced in Elisa's eyes as she gazed at Julia.

Elisa's gaze was too intense, so Julia turned to look at her. Initially, she was taken aback but then she smiled. She then gently took her hand off her own shoulder, placed it in Elisa's hand, and patted it lightly.

“What's the matter, Sweetheart? Why are you looking at Grandma like that?” Julia squinted her eyes, asking with affection.

Elisa hesitated, pausing for a long while. “Grandma, I'm tired. Can you accompany me upstairs to sleep?”

Julia was taken aback for a moment, then smiled faintly. She fully understood Elisa's intention.

“Okay, okay, okay,” Julia said with a smile, repeating the word three times. “I'm going to accompany Liz to bed now.” After finishing her sentence, Julia looked at the other two, and said with a playful smile, “You two should also get some rest.”

Both Bella and Gareth nodded in agreement.

Having gotten the answer she wanted, Julia was content and ready to leave.

Elisa linked her arms with Julia's and they ascended the stairs together.

Gareth kept his gaze fixed on the two figures, watching until they disappeared from sight.

“Alright, Gareth, I should get some sleep now. I have to accompany Elisa to the police station tomorrow.” Bella stood up, straightened her wrinkled clothes, and said this in a seemingly casual manner. Having said that, she made a move to leave.

“Wait.”

Sure enough, it wasn't long before Gareth's voice came through. Bella raised an eyebrow, a smug expression on her face.

Gareth frowned. “Are you going to deal with the matter between Paul and Rochelle?”
