Against Cruelty, She Grew Strong (by Anastasia Glover) novel Chapter 701

Chapter 701 All Lovers Gather At Ward

“You’re welcome. It’s what I should do.”

“What did the doctor say?”

“He’s doing well. He should wake up in a few days.”

Old Mr. Jackson was relieved. He walked into the room, looking at his eldest grandson laid up like that, and couldn’t bring himself to say anything harsh.

“Hubert, Ann–look who’s here!”

Tatiana stepped closer, a warm smile on her face.

Both kids turned and looked–their faces lighting up with surprise.

They shouted in unison, “Auntie Tammy!!”

Tammy spread her arms wide, “Surprise! Did you miss me, little ones?”

The two kids ran straight into her arms, clinging to her like glue.

Tammy was overjoyed. She kissed them both, one after the other.

Tatiana couldn’t help laughing–but she knew the kids had missed Tammy terribly.

At least Tammy seemed fine, like she’d moved past Lucas’s death.

It was Norman–usually so carefree–who’d gone quiet. He stood silently in the corner, his gaze drifting to Tammy, then away again before anyone noticed.

Those two…

She decided not to interfere. Matters of the heart had to be settled by the people involved–otherwise, there’d always be regrets.

Norman and Tammy had both come to visit Jasper, bringing plenty of fruit.

Tatiana put the fruit away and gently wiped jasper’s forehead with a damp towel.

For now, the room was filled only with the steady beep of monitors and the soft sounds of the kids playing quietly with their toys. The atmosphere was peaceful and hopeful.

That peace was soon broken by a noisy commotion of footsteps approaching.

“I said I didn’t want to come! Foster, let go–ow!”

A crisp voice came through, clear and obviously reluctant.

The door opened. Foster pulled in a tall young woman with delicate features but a face full of resistance.

It was Rose

She was dressed in a sharp pantsuit, but couldn’t hide her natural pride. Still, her eyes lit up a little when she saw Tatiana.

“Tatiana!”

“Rose.”

“It’s really you! I thought this jerk was lying again just to get me here!”

That man always had a backup plan.
