They finally arrived at the place which is surrouded with mountains. Compared to the bustling city, this place seemed extremely quite and desolate. The two assistants were suspicious of whether they had taken the wrong path, but Joshua firmly believed that as long as they continued to walk forward, they could get closer to Elizabeth.

After an hour and a half, the assistant got off the car and asked around. They really did arrive at their destination.

This was a small town that was neither bustling nor isolated from the rest of the world. There weren't many populations here, but it is very relaxed and comfortable. As the assistant drove, she asked for directions and arrived in front of a small building on the outskirts of a small town. This small building was quite eye-catching in this town, with two floors and a villa structure. In front of the door was a large garden, surrounded by a wall, and on the wall was a mountain climbing tiger. It did not look like a new one, and it had been more than ten years, but the flowers and plants here were exceptionally fresh in this spring.

"Boss, do you need me to go down and knock on the door? I think that's it!" The assistant hurriedly asked, but discovered that before Joshua answering, he had already got off the car, helding his breath and knocking on the door.

"It's coming!" An old lady's replied.

Then the door opened with a clang. A thin old lady was standing in front of the door. She wore a pair of glasses and held a long bean horn in her hand. It seemed like she was cooking.

"You are.... Elizabeth's boyfriend?" After the old lady suddenly saw Joshua, she pointed at his face, triing to figure out who he was in her mind.

"Grandma, nice to meet you I'm Joshua, Elizabeth's boyfriend. Is she here?" Joshua hurriedly introduced himself, eagerly to know whether Elizabeth is here or not.

"Elizabeth? "She didn't come back." The old lady was surprised, but soon after, she stuck her head out and looked outside in disbelief, "She clearly said that she wanted to bring you back to." Joshua stood at the door like a statue, the old lady's expression did not seem like he was lying.

In that case, Elizabeth did not return home, but was Lily lying to him?

"Grandma, do you need a phone?" Joshua suddenly wanted to confirm something. He had always thought that Elizabeth's grandmother was really old to the point that she couldn't walk anymore.

"I don't have a phone, but my landline is installed. Kid, did you come alone?" The old lady asked him anxiously, her eyes filled with worry.

Joshua didn't know how to explain. He looked at his assistants,, and one of the helpers quickly returned to the car with a bunch of gift fruits in his hands. He hastily bought them on the way here. ""Grandma, there some fruits for you." As the assistant said this, he carried his things and walked towards the living room.

"Oh, you are so sweet. Didn't Elizabeth come with you?" The old lady only believed him after hearing her explanation.

Only then did Joshua ease his stiff expression and said softly: "She didn't come with you. Grandma, do you live here alone?"

"Yes, I live alone. My husband has been gone for many years!" The old lady quickly made way for him. "Look at me, come in quickly and have a seat. We'll have lunch here."

When Joshua stepped into the garden, he

realized that what was planted was not expensive flowers, plants and trees, but all kinds of vegetables. It was spring, and the air is fulfilled with fresh soil from the garden.

Joshua had never experienced this kind of feeling of a small village before, and he was in a bit of a trance for a moment.

"Comein, kids, Joshua. You are such a gentle man, and my Elizabeth is blessed! The old lady gave him a cup of tea while Joshua held onto the cup.

"Thank you, Grandma!" Joshua said gratefully.

The old lady stood to the side and stared at him. She saw that he was tall, polite, and very gentle. The more she looked at him, the more satisfied she became.

Joshua was a little embarrassed from being stared, he could only ask: "Did Elizabeth grow up here in the past?"

"Yes, she lived here for many years. In the past, when she lived here, she helped grow the vegetables in the yard. After she went to the big city to study, I did it myself. I'm really suspicious of how she helps me here." The old lady said with a sorrowful expression.

Joshua stared at the garden as if he could imagine how Elizabeth would look when she was young.

"Joshua, when you came over earlier, you asked if Elizabeth was with me. Are you looking for her?" The old lady was not confused.

Joshua nodded: "Yes, I'm looking for her. We made things a little awkward, do you know where she usually goes?"

"I don't know, my phone has been broken recently. Not long ago, she called me on my neighbor's phone and told me that she was living a good life there. She even sent me a lot of things. She's a filial child!" The old lady could not understand the burning anxiety in Joshua's heart at the moment. She could only recite the memories she had of her granddaughter.

After Joshua finished drinking the tea, he suddenly decided to leave, because, Elizabeth was not here, he had to go somewhere else to replace her. He felt that Lily was hiding something from him.

"Grandma, I have some work to do and I gotta go.!" After Joshua finished speaking, he reached into his bosom and took out his wallet, wanting to give a card to the old lady, but he felt that taking the card wasn't appropriate, so he immediately headed towards Walk Outside.

"How much cash do you have?!" Joshua asked directly.

"only $5,000..."

"I have six thousand!"

Joshua immediately took out the cash in his own wallet and put it all together, there were more than $10,000.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Why not stay here and have lunch with me?"

"Grandma, I am sorty but I am quite busy right now. I'll definitely come again next time!" After Joshua finished speaking, he placed the money on the table beside him. "Grandma, please take care of yourself, goodbye!"

The old lady did not realize that he had left the money on the table. After she escorted Joshua to the car, she returned and found that there was a pile of cash. She hurriedly chased after him, but Joshua's car was already far away.

Joshua took out his phone, and called Patty.

"Give me Auntie's cell phone number!" Joshua did not have her phone number.

Originally, he did not have Patty's cell phone number, but with the two assistants here, it would be easy for him to replace the company's staff member's number.

"Is this Joshua?" Patty surprisely asked.

"Send me her number!" Joshua was no longer patient.

Patty quickly replied and hung up the phone.
