Chapter 1953


    Ethan lowered his head to kiss hers. “Last night was great.”


    It was then that Josephine suddenly thought of something. She initially nned to buy some morning-


    after pills since he did not have any condomsst night, but at that moment, she held that thought and


    decided to let nature run its course! Now that she had recognized him as the one, having a baby would


    onlyplete their rtionship.


    That afternoon, he brought her to the city center for lunch. Then she received a call. “Hello?”


    “Joey, where are you now? Your grandfather fell ill. Can youe home now?”


    “What? What happened?”


    “Your grandpa… has a heart condition, and it’s quite serious. Come home, quick!” Heidi urged.


    Tears began forming in Josephine’s eyes while she replied, “Okay, Mom. I’m on my way back.” Then


    she looked at Ethan and told him, “Eeth, I need to return home. My grandpa fell ill.”


    “I’lle with you.”


    “But your—”


    “I’m fine. I don’t feelfortable leaving you alone,” he insisted. Since her grandfather was ill, he had


    to apany her home.


    “Okay! Remember to tell your parents. I need to leave this afternoon.” She was vividly anxious.


    At that sight, Ethan immediately called his mother. Meanwhile, Heidi supported his decision to


    apany Josephine because this might be when her daughter needed him the most.

    That afternoon, they boarded his private jet and flew back to Zoravia.


    It was early morning the next day when their nended, and they got in the Jacobsons’ car and


    headed straight for the hospital.


    There, Peter was lying in the ICU with a respirator. When Josephine saw her mother’s reddened eyes,


    she instantly understood her grandfather’s condition. “Mom, Grandpa…”

    Heidi forced her tears back andforted Josephine. “The doctors are still trying, so we can’t give up


    yet.”


    Hearing that, Josephine staggered, prompting Ethan to hold her. Then Heidi told him, “Eeth, take good


    care of her!”


    “I will, Mrs. Jacobson.” He nodded.


    When Mills came out of the doctor’s office with a stern face, Heidi quickly approached him. “What did


    the doctor say? Is there any other n of action?”


    “Dad’s old, so the doctor doesn’t rmend surgery because it might increase the risks.”


    “How long would Dad still have if he woke up?” she asked with tears in her eyes.


    “One week at most.” His eyes were filled with tears as well.


    The next day, many rtives of the Jacobson family came to visit Peter, but unfortunately, he passed


    away in his sleep.


    Josephine was in the lounge when her mother suddenly came looking for her. When she arrived at the


    ward and saw the doctors covering her grandfather with a white cloth, she felt her legs go weak. Ethan


    caught her, and she lunged herself into his arms, crying.


    The funeral was held a week after that. Many came, and the Jacobsons held the ceremonies amidst


    grief.

    grief.


    In the blink of an eye, the two had been back in Zoravia for two weeks. During that time, Ethan


    disregarded his recuperating body to take care of Josephine. Perhaps that was the power of love!


    Two monthster, the Jacobsons slowly walked out of Peter’s death while Josephine remained somber.


    Ethan had been by her side during this period, meticulously caring for her as she spent many crying


    nights in his arms.


    When she awoke today, she felt nervous seeing him pack his luggage. “Eeth, are you leaving?”


    “No, I’m not. I’m bringing you out for a trip. We’re going together.”


    “Where to?” She blinked.


    “You take a rest. I’ll tell you once I finish packing.”


    Still, Josephine did not feel like resting anymore and got up to help him pack. They soon finished


    preparing their luggage and let the bodyguards bring it out. Then, Ethan held her hand and led her to


    the car.


    On their way, he kept their destination a secret and did not reveal it to her, no matter how she


    attempted to prod. In the end, she gave up and leaned against his shoulder, enjoying the scenery


    outside. Her mood brightened after being a hermit for two months.
