Chapter 1231CHAPTER 1231 EXTINCT
Darren had returned to accompany Julia. His attitude toward her had changed. While the change
confused Julia, it moved her deeply.
Julia chuckled and said, "All right, it's getting late. You two should head home. Drive safe."
Elisa nodded. "Grandma, don't worry. We will be fine."
Julia smiled before turning to Gareth. "You must send Liz home safely, okay?"
"Sure," Gareth answered without hesitation.
Julia was delighted when she noticed how readily he agreed. Gareth always used to protest when I
asked him to send Elisa home. The reason he went along with my request this time wasn't because he
turned obedient. It was because he cared about Liz!
Her heart blossomed with joy. She smiled from ear to ear as she stood at the door and watched them
leave.
Gareth usually drove by himself to send Elisa home.
Moreover, they needed to discuss some matters and did not want the driver around.
It was quiet in the car. Elisa's smile faded entirely after they traveled out of Julia's line of sight. Her
expression turned solemn. noveldramaGareth sensed something wrong with her and frowned. "What's the matter?"
Elisa's eyes flickered. She came out of her daze and sighed helplessly. "I'm still missing something
needed to treat Grandma's illness."
Although she sounded calm, Gareth could detect some worry in her tone. It meant the item she needed
was scarce and hard to find.
"What are you missing?"
Elisa could not help but sigh again. She looked out the window and focused on the colorful lights before
answering solemnly, "It is something rare and likely extinct."
Gareth furrowed his brow. Elisa gradually revealed what the item was.
"Ganoderma Caligo."
It would have been easy to find if she had only mentioned 'Ganoderma.' Unfortunately, she had to add
the word 'Caligo' and complicate things.
Elisa looked down slightly. Her gaze seemed forlorn and helpless. "The cancer cells are growing fast in
Grandma's body and are gradually spreading to small cells. For now, I'm able to control its spread
using medication. Without Ganoderma Caligo, I can only maintain her condition for two months. After
that…"
Elisa's eyes flashed with desperation. Then, she continued, "I'm unsure whether I can discover a newway to fight the cancer cells. So, I…"
She could not bring herself to continue.
Gareth replied calmly, "I will get my people to search for it."
Elisa remained silent. She had searched for it for the past few days and could not find any reliable
information. However, her eyes suddenly flickered with realization. She turned to Gareth. "Is there an
auction in Moranta in half a month?"
Gareth's eyes gleamed slightly. He grunted in affirmation.
Elisa's expression brightened. "Perhaps we might find it there!"
The auction was held once a year and was always astoundingly grand. All of its guests were people of
power and influence. Even someone in the upper class was not guaranteed to have the right to attend.
However, this would not be an issue for Gareth. He was likely among the top ten names on the
invitation list. Thus, Elisa could go with him to check it out.
