Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 219

The art exhibition had wrapped up beautifully, and Walter had offered to treat everyone to dinner. Calix had to head back to the filming set early, so he left ahead of the others.

Grandpa Robert, upon recalling Oliver’s scheming, decided to join the dinner as well. Just as he was about to get into the car, Grandpa Robert received a call from home. Grandma Emily’s health had taken a turn for the worse, and he was urged to come back immediately.

Grandpa Robert’s face paled as he said to Josefina, “Josie, we need to head back. Your grandma is not looking good.”

Josefina quickly got into the Harrison family’s car, with Oliver and Walter climbing in as well. The four of them returned to the Harrison household and went straight to Emily’s sickroom.

Josefina spoke, “You guys wait outside for now. Don’t come in just yet.”

With a medical kit in hand, Josefina entered, leaving everyone else waiting anxiously outside.

By the time Lena arrived, she was taken aback to see Oliver and even more surprised to find Walter there. Why would Walter be here? Wasn’t he a painter? She had never heard of any connection between the Harrison family and Walter.

Lena greeted him politely, “Mr. Walter, good to see you.”

Walter just grunted in response. His gaze was fixated anxiously on the room where Emily lay.

Lena approached Grandpa Robert and suggested, “Grandpa, I’m studying medicine too. Maybe I could help by checking on grandma’s condition.”

Grandpa Robert was straightforward, “Josie’s already in there taking care of things. Your presence might disrupt her treatment. Better not to go in.”

Lena nodded silently and stepped aside, finding herself inadvertently standing close to Oliver.

Just as she was about to speak, Oliver moved away to engage in a conversation with Walter, leaving Lena behind.

Lena thought to herself, “Does Oliver see me as some kind of monster? Am I really that terrifying?”
