Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess
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 glanced at Oliver and said goodbye before following Hattie inside.

"Oliver, I won't keep you any longer. It's getting late, 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 him coming 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 resemblance 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."

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 village 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 into laughter. 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 a commanding 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 hidden compartment and retrieved a cell phone. And at that moment, the phone began buzzing insistently - someone was calling her.
