Chapter 2036 Watching Like A Hawk

It was not something that could be explained in a short time, and besides, Kaylee was right here, watching like a hawk. It was not a good time for them to converse.

Understanding dawned on Bella.

The meal was eaten almost in silence, making it incrédibly uncomfortable, especially for Elisa.

She always felt like she was being watched, and this kind of gaze made her feel extremely uneasy.

Kaylee’s subtle gaze was always directed toward Elisa as if she were afraid the latter might say something to Gareth.

Indeed, due to Kaylee’s prying eyes, Elisa truly didn’t get a chance to speak.

The meal continued with no one speaking, and neither Rachel nor Vincent showed up until the end.

Eventually, it was Bella who broke the silence; otherwise, this meal would probably have not a single word exchanged.

“How about we go for a private hot spring bath after our nap? We can still depart in time by evening.”

-Upon hearing this, Elisa nodded, indicating she had no objections.

Gareth looked at her, fairly perplexed. “Didn’t you say to stay and rest for a couple more days? Why are you in such a hurry to return all of a sudden? Did something happen at work?”

Elisa forced out a faint smile and shook her head.

It was nothing related to work but Julia.

Unfortunately, Kaylee was still at the dining table, staring at Elisa intently.

There were certain things that were not appropriate to mention, and it was also not wise to act rashly and alert the enemy.

Anyway, there will always be times when Kaylee isn’t around..

And so, after breakfast, everyone returned to their rooms.

Elisa seemed deeply preoccupied in her room when suddenly, there was a knock at the door.

She was so engrossed in her thoughts that the unexpected noise nearly made her jump out of her skin.

“Come in.”

Elisa recomposed herself and looked toward the direction of the door.

Kaylee pushed the door open and walked in.

“Elisa, do you have some free time right now? If you do, I have a few questions I’d like to ask. Madam Smith.”

Elisa’s heart skipped a beat the moment she heard the words “Madam Smith.”

She was really curious, wondering if Kaylee had found out something.

With a calm expression, Elisa nodded and turned to Kaylee, asking, “Shall we talk outside?”

“Ah...” The latter looked toward the former’s room and glanced around, seemingly a bit hesitant.

Finally, she nodded. “All... right...”

Then, the duo went to the living room, and Elisa got straight to the point. “What would you like to know?”

Kaylee curved her lips, understanding that Elisa truly cared about Julia’s matters. Now, Julia was under her control.

This spoke volumes about many issues.

She lowered her gaze, concealing the triumph in her eyes. When she looked up again, her eyes were clear and bright.

“I just wanted to ask, what are Madam Smith’s food preferences? Are there any foods she avoids? I heard from Maria that Madam Smith’s health isn’t great, and it only improved with someone’s help in managing her diet...”

Upon hearing this, Elisa carefully observed Kaylee’s reaction. Seeing that the latter likely knew that the “someone” referred to Elisa, Elisa finally let out a barely perceptible sigh of relief.

She was almost certain now that there was something off about Kaylee. If I let her know that I’m trained in medicine too soon, I’ll be revealing my hand prematurely.

Seeing that Kaylee wasn’t dubious, Elisa began to answer the former’s questions one by one.

However, Kaylee’s most pressing issue probably wasn’t her first few questions. After all, she could have asked Maria, who might have even more comprehensive knowledge about these. Yet, Kaylee chose not to do so, preferring to take a more roundabout appro
