Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 310

Ellory chuckled back, "You know, I was just talking to Walter, and he mentioned how Josefina is your own flesh and blood. Hattie, that girl of yours, she's a real whiz in the medical field. Last time she swung by, she was a godsend. Honestly, if I could, I'd snatch her up to be a professor at the hospital in a heartbeat."

Hattie's expression finally softened a bit. She hadn't expected that after shelling out so much for Lena's education, it would turn out like this.

After a few more words, Hattie hung up the phone. Lena couldn’t meet Hattie's gaze, at a loss for words.

"Lena, did you hear what Ellory said?" Hattie asked.

Lena murmured a soft "Mhm," to which Hattie continued, "Look, we Harrisons never expected you to be the backbone of the nation, but you've got to hit the books hard. You said you wanted to be a doctor, so we're funding your medical studies. You wanted an internship, and I had Ellory pull some strings for you. But how can you heal and save lives if you're not up to scratch?"

Ever since Josefina came back, Lena had been restless, fumbling at work and losing her competitions.

With puppy-dog eyes, Lena looked up, tears welling, "Mom, ever since Josie came back, I've been scared you'd kick me out. I can't sleep, I can't focus, and that's why I've messed up so badly."

"But we didn't kick you out, Lena." Josefina interjected. "I never said we'd do that. You can't pin the villain's hat on me just because of some unfounded fears."

Hattie chimed in, "Lena, Josie's not like that. With all the wealth the Harrisons have, you think we can't support you? You're the child I've watched grow up. Don't you know how I feel about you?"
