Chapter 30


    The couple always knew that Lena had a thing for Oliver, but the guy never tossed a crumb her way


    all these years. They tried to talk some sense into Lena, telling her that a forced love was no love at


    all, and with Oliver being such a hot-headed dude, they really didn’t want her hitching her wagon to


    his.


    But today, they caught a glimpse of a different side of Oliver. It made them wonder if he had been


    body-snatched or something.


    In the midst of the super awkward moment, Brandon cleared his throat and said, “Look, Lena, sorry


    about this, but Oliver’s just got no filter, you know?”


    Lena was seething. Nice, Brandon really knew how to stick the knife in!


    What was this “no filter” business? Was this really what was going on in Oliver’s head? Like, he had


    got eyes only for Josefina or what?


    ...


    Brandon and Oliver had dinner at the Harrison family’s ce, and there was Oliver, with his long


    fingers peeling a shrimp so smoothly and elegantly. After he had done, he ced the shrimp onto


    Josefina’s te.


    “Thanks, but I can peel my own,” Josefina said.


    “You eat, and I’ll peel them for you. Don’t want to get your hands dirty,” went Oliver, with that voice


    of his that was like honey to Josefina’s ears. She was a sucker for a good voice.


    Garrett spotted Oliver buttering up his girl and started to worry. “Honey, let dad peel those shrimps


    for you.”


    Hattie chimed in, “I’ll peel for my girl.”


    Hattie peeled two and handed one to Lena and one to Josefina.


    Garrett did the same, making sure each of his girls got a shrimp.


    Oliver got that Garrett and Hattie were wary of him, and he understood it. After all, they had just got


    Josefina back and were scared to lose her.


    Brandon was all smiles and said, “Man, I envy Robert for having such a well-behaved, sharp, and


    clever grand-daughter. That’s not luck everyone gets.”


    The mention of Robert put a shadow over Garrett’s face. “Too bad, my dad won’te back.”

    “Garrett, how’s your mother doing? Any improvement after all this time?”


    Garrett shook his head. “It’s not looking too good.”


    Brandon squinted and said, “Garrett, I think you guys need to switch hospitals. Who’s in charge of


    her case? They’re totally ipetent. You’ve gotta change that!”


    Lena kept silent. She could feel her face burning up. Embarrassed, Lena said, “Brandon, the doctor


    handling grandma’s case is me.”


    Brandon showed no sign of embarrassment, and just calmly advised, “Lena, not everyone’s cut out


    for medicine. Howe there’s been no improvement at all with your grandma? Is it because the


    doctor isn’t putting in the effort? Lack of skill? Seriously, it might be time to find her another doctor.”


    Garrett and Hattie hadn’t thought of it that way before, since Clover’s condition really was dire. It


    was only after Josefina came back and they learned the truth that they didn’t want to rm anyone.


    Garrett said, “We’ve already decided to transfer my mother to another hospital and get a different


    doctor to treat her.”


    Lena’s heart skipped a beat. If they brought in a top-notch doctor for the olddy, the real situation


    woulde to light.


    Lena blurted out, “Dad, Brandon’s right on the money. Let’s get a new doctor for grandma. Maybe


    things will turn around.”


    Josefina gave Lena a look. Could she have been wrong? was this whole mess really nothing to do


    with Lena? Was Lena clueless?


    Little did they know, Lena was already scheming a way out of this one.
