Chapter 26


    Lena gritted her teeth and sent Josefina a whopping 500k in a digital transfer. Not too much to make


    the elders frown, but not stingy either.

    Hattie sat right there. That half a million was a real punch to Lena’s gut.


    When Josefina got the money, she raised an eyebrow, all smug and vibrant, making Lena bristling


    with irritation.


    Just then, the butler came in, all respectful, and said, “Ma’am, Mr. Brandon has arrived with Mr.


    Baldwin.”


    After Oliver’s parents handed over thepany reins, the couple took off to gallivant around the


    globe. Everyone in high society knew that. So the Mr. Baldwin the butler was referring to had to be


    the one and only.


    Hearing about Oliver’s visit, Lena jumped up, all excited. “Did Oliver know I’m back and came to see


    me especially?” Lena’s face bloomed like a flower, shy and hopeful.


    Hattie told the butler, “Let them in.”


    The butler nodded, and soon Brandon and Oliver walked in. Their bodyguards lugged bags from


    high-end brands, one even shouldering a bup sack. Joining them was Garrett, just back from


    work.


    Hattie stood up to greet them, and they all exchanged pleasantries, settling on the couch.


    Lena’s eyes twinkled, glued to Oliver. “Oliver, long time no see.”


    Oliver nced at Lena but didn’t engage.


    Lena was furious. True to form, Oliver still wasn’t giving her the time of day.


    Brandon chuckled looking at Josefina. “Josie, the main reason Oliver and I dropped by was to thank


    you for saving my life. If it hadn’t been for you, I would’ve probably bitten the dust.”


    Josefina politely responded, “Fortune favors the good, and you’re bound to live a long life.”


    “Thanks for the good vibes, Josie,” Brandonughed heartily. His eyes were full of warmth as he


    looked at Josefina.


    Lena stood there, dumbfounded. “You know medical stuff too?” If that was the case, when Garrett


    and Hattie took Josefina to the hospital to visit grandma, was it for Josefina to treat her? Did


    Josefina figure out grandma’s illness?


    Lena’s face turned even paler. She was restless in her seat.


    Lena looked at Brandon, thinking why hadn’t this old man ever gazed at her with such affection, and


    why did Josefina get his approval?


    Brandon answered Lena’s question, recounting the story, “I copsed at the roadside, and it was


    Josie who saved my life. Even my family doctor doesn’t hold a candle to Josie’s skills.”


    Oliver chimed in, “Josie’s medical skills are unmatched.”


    Lena didn’t know what to say. Oliver’s words were like a punch to her heart! She was a doctor too,


    not half-bad at it, so howe she couldn’t hold a candle to Josefina, who came from a humble


    background?


    Inside, Lena was seething with rage, but kept silent. With a gentle smile stered on her face, she


    asked in a soft voice, “Josefina, who did you learn from?”


    Josefina answered, “Just a country doctor.”


    Lena breathed a sigh of relief. Josefina followed some country doc, so what good coulde out of


    that? Surely nothing was worth mentioning!


    Brandon beamed, “Josie, you’re too modest. I heard from the dean that you also know the Phoenix


    Touch. Even he can’t do it. When he talks about you, it’s with nothing but admiration.”


    Lena’s heart, barely settled, was racing again. She blurted out, “But isn’t that the secret technique of


    the House of Adams, not taught to outsiders? You’re not a child of the House of Adams. How do


    you know it?”


    Lena was bbergasted. Just who was Josefina?
