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 place, and there was Oliver, with his long fingers peeling a shrimp so smoothly and elegantly.

After he had done, he placed the shrimp onto Josefina’s plate.

“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’t come back.”

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 incompetent. 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. How come 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 alarm 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 old lady, the real situation would come 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.
