Chapter 56


    At that moment, Hattie and Garrett strolled out of the house, their eyes brimming with affection as


    they beheld Josefina. "Josie, your grandpa''s back. Come on, let''s go inside so you can see him. He


    knows you''re back, and he''s thrilled."


    Josefina nced at Oliver and said goodbye before following Hattie inside.


    "Oliver, I won''t keep you any longer. It''s gettingte, you should head back and get some rest too,"


    Garrett said, quickly retreating, as if afraid Oliver might want to join them.


    Oliver sighed. Was Garrett that afraid of himing in? Did Garrett think he was a wolf? That he


    would devour Josefina?


    With a helpless shake of his head, Oliver got into his car and drove away.


    ...


    At the Harrison household.


    Robert had returned. Despite his silver hair, he looked energetic, his smile exuding warmth and


    charisma. Garrett bore a striking resemnce to Robert, and standing side by side, the father and


    son duo were quite the sight.


    Josefina sweetly greeted, "Hi, Grandpa."


    Robert chuckled and nodded, beckoning her to sit down. "You definitely have the Harrison look. Just


    look at that face, you''ve inherited our best traits. Not bad at all. You''ve had it rough, my dear."


    The ties of blood were undeniable, and Josefina felt her heart heavy with emotions. She looked up


    at the old man with bright eyes and a beaming smile, "I''m okay, Grandpa. Grandma''s condition will


    stabilize with time. She''ll wake up soon."Text content ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Grandpa Robert nodded, emotion seeping through, "I do hope she wakes up soon, to see her


    beloved granddaughter."


    From his pocket, Grandpa Robert took out a pair of emerald bracelets and handed them to


    Josefina, "This is our little gift for meeting you."


    Josefina did not decline; a gift from her grandfather was to be cherished. "Thank you, Grandpa."


    "Don''t mention it. You''re my granddaughter, after all. If you ever face any trouble or feel wronged,


    come to me, and I''ll set it right."


    "Thanks, Grandpa. I''m doing well. Now that I''m home, everything is just fine," Josefina said


    sensibly.


    Grandpa Robert''s smile grew even brighter at the sight of his charming and delightful


    granddaughter. "I heard from your dad that you saved Brandon? Josie, you know medicine, that''s


    quite a surprise."


    "I learned it from my mentor in the vige where I grew up. He was kind and taught me everything


    he knew. Saving Brandon was just fate."


    "That''s wonderful fate indeed. Brandon is lucky to have met you. If it weren''t for you, he would have


    been a goner. Tomorrow, I''ll pay Brandon a visit and brag about my granddaughter a bit, since he


    doesn''t have one of his own."


    Josefina almost burst intoughter. Her grandpa was quite the character, easy to get along with, it


    seemed. This family was making her feel more and more at home.


    Just as the atmosphere was warming up, Lena came back.


    "Grandpa, you''re back," Lena said, seemingly intimidated by Grandpa Robert, her movements stiff


    and awkward.


    In amanding tone, Grandpa Robert stated, "Lena, Josie''s back now. Make sure you look after


    her."


    Lena nodded vigorously, "Don''t worry, Grandpa. I''ll take good care of my sister. Whatever she


    needs, I''ll be there to help."


    Standing up, Grandpa Robert announced, "I''m tired. I''m off to bed. You should all rest too."


    With Grandpa Robert gone, Lena finally felt the air lighten a bit. "Mom and Dad, I''m feeling quite


    tired myself. I''ll go to rest too," Lena said.


    Garrett and Hattie expressed their concern with a few caring words before Lena retreated to her


    room. There, she opened a hiddenpartment and retrieved a cell phone. And at that moment,


    the phone began buzzing insistently — someone was calling her.
