Ethan lowered his head to kiss hers. “Last night was great.” It was then that Josephine suddenly thought of something. She initially planned to buy some morning-after pills since he did not have any condoms last night, but at that moment, she held that thought and decided to let nature run its course! Now that she had recognized him as the one, having a baby would only complete their relationship.
That afternoon, he brought her to the city center for lunch. Then she received a call. “Hello?”
“Joey, where are you now? Your grandfather fell ill. Can you come home now?”
“What? What happened?” “Your grandpa… has a heart condition, and it’s quite serious. Come home, quick!” Heidi urged.
Tears began forming in Josephine’s eyes while she replied, “Okay, Mom. I’m on my way back.” Then she looked at Ethan and told him, “Eeth, I need to return home. My grandpa fell ill.” “I’ll come with you.”
“But your-”
‘I’m fine. I don’t feel comfortable leaving your alone,’ he insisted. Since her grandfather was ill, he had to accompany her home. “Okay! Remember to tell your parents. I need to leave this afternoon.” She was vividly anxious.
At that sight, Ethan immediately called his mother. Meanwhile, Heidi supported his decision to accompany Josephine because this might be when her daughter needed him the most.
That afternoon, they boarded his private jet and flew back to Zoravia. It was early morning the next day when their plane landed, and they got in the Jacobsons” car and headed straight for the hospital..
There, Peter was lying in the ICU with a respirator. When Josephine saw her mother’s reddened eyes, she instantly understood her grandfather’s condition. “Mom, Grandpa…”
Heidi forced her tears back and comforted Josephine. “The doctors are still trying, so we can’t give up yet.” Hearing that, Josephine staggered, prompting Ethan to hold her. Then Heidi told him, “Eeth, take good care of her!”
