Elliot explained that Greg had called him after receiving his diagnosis. He was terrified because he had watched Elliot’s father struggle with a devastating illness. He remembered how Elliot’s mother had spent years caring for her husband, sacrificing so much of her own life. Greg couldn’t bear the thought of Claire experiencing the same suffering.
