Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess
Chapter 18

Garrett was worried sick that Josefina might be beating herself up, so he quickly tried comforting her. All those experts were at their wit's end, and Josefina's only eighteen. Who would expect a teenager to bring a patient back to life?

Hattie chimed in, "Even the doctor's out of ideas. Lena also told me that your granny's condition is severe and that it'll be tough for her to wake up.”

Josefina slowly raised her head. "Who's Lena?"

Hattie explained, "The girl who got switched at birth with you. We thought she was our own. Her name's Lena. She's studying abroad and hasn't come back yet."

Garrett added, "Lena's a doctor. She's been taking care of your grandma's health.”

Josefina's frown didn't fade, and sharp-eyed Garrett picked up on her vibe, asking softly, "Josie, did you spot something fishy?"

Josefina didn't hold back, saying straight up, "Grandma's been poisoned. That's why she hasn't woken up. The dose of poison is tiny, but with a bit each day, it's built up to this point." "What!" Garrett and Hattie couldn't believe their ears and exclaimed in unison.

Garrett was in disbelief. "Your grandma's been poisoned? How could that happen? She's been out cold. How could someone poison her?"

Hattie was completely baffled. "Garrett, let's get to the bottom of this quick. Who the heck wants to harm her?"

Garrett was furious. Someone was targeting his mother. No wonder there'd been no improvement in the old lady's condition for so long.

Josefina took out a silver needle and drew a drop of the old lady's blood, which was black. Garrett sniffed it just like Josefina instructed and caught a faint whiff of foul odor.

Josefina explained, "Lucky we got here in time, or granny wouldn't last a month."

Garrett's eyes turned steely. "This person's really got some nerve!"

Josefina told them, "Let's not tip off the culprit for now. I know a thing or two about medicine. I'll whip up a prescription to clear the toxins from her body."

Garrett nodded, "Alright, Josie, thanks for taking this on."

Hattie praised, "Josie, you're amazing. You spotted what's wrong with granny right away."

Josefina blushed at the praise, her face flushing a lovely shade of pink, making her even more adorable. Hattie's heart warmed as she looked at her precious girl, growing fonder by the minute. Josefina was such a beautiful young lady, and she was her treasured daughter.

Garrett marveled at Josefina's medical skills, letting his guard down and taking her word for it. Josefina had no reason to harm the old lady. He'd also get another doctor to check on Granny. He couldn't always rely on Josie alone.

"Josie, let's not move your grandma just yet. I'll get someone to put cameras in the room. I want to see who's out to get her!"

Josefina said, "I know a specialist in this area. I'll have her come and install the cameras without causing any alarm."

Garrett nodded, "Sounds good, we'll do it Josie's way."

Hattie suggested, "Garrett, let's talk to the attending doctor and see what they have to say."

Josefina spoke up, "You guys go ahead, I'll start with the Grandma's acupuncture."

As Garrett and Hattie left, Josefina took silver needles from her bag, inserting them into Clover's acupoints to expel the toxins.

She then pulled out a mini camera, set it up in a good spot, and turned on a specially made mini computer, hammering away like a pro. Josefina got the camera situation handled.

When Hattie and Garrett gently pushed the door open, they found Josefina had finished setting up the camera and was now typing away furiously on a tiny computer.

The three of them exchanged looks, six eyes darting around.

Josefina was busted!
