“Mr. Frank Blue? Wait, you mean the guy who came up with that famous cure during the national epidemic a few years back?”
“He… he’s my grandfather?”
Wiona felt a jolt of surprise and excitement. She never in a million years expected to have someone so legendary in her family tree.
Tyler grinned at her. “Of course, Wiona.”
“Your grandpa’s kind of a big deal. Even though he’s over eighty now, he’s still incredibly sharp, and he knows more about medicine than any of us. He’s the head of the Blue family, no question, and honestly, we all look up to him.”
Wiona’s heart was racing. The thought of meeting her grandfather made her restless with anticipation.
Mateo picked up the story. “Grandpa had three sons and one daughter.”
“Wiona, your mom was his youngest. Her name was Luna. I heard from Tatum that you already found out her name?”
Wiona nodded. “Yeah, I did. I’ll fill you guys in on that later.”
“Go on, tell me more about the Blue family.”
Ryan suddenly remembered something and reached into his pocket.
“Here. This is a photo of your mom.”
“I had to sneak it out of the house. Grandma guards her treasures like a hawk. Seriously, this was risky.”
Dawson rolled his eyes. “Why didn’t you just take a picture with your phone, genius?”
Ryan shot back, “Hey, respect your elders.”
“There’s a difference between holding a real photo and just looking at it on your phone, okay? Here, see for yourself.”
Wiona stared at the photo in her hand, overcome with emotion she’d never felt before.
Mom…
This was her mom.
She had seen a picture of her mother at Wilson’s place before, but this one was completely different.
In that old picture, her mom looked distant and quiet, nothing like the girl in this one—so full of life, so young and happy.
She looked maybe eighteen or nineteen, her long hair blowing softly in the breeze.
She seemed about the same height as Wiona, maybe five-seven.
Her features were so delicate and beautiful.
Wiona couldn’t help but think her mom was way more stunning than she’d ever be.
She looked like an angel, so bright and captivating, you couldn’t look away.
But strangely, Wiona didn’t see much of herself in her mom’s face.
She reached out, gently touching the photo, her voice trembling. “Thank you. I really love this picture. Is it okay if I keep it?”
Ryan’s ears turned pink, but he nodded. “It’s yours.”
“If Grandma finds out, the worst that’ll happen is I’ll get yelled at.”
“And now, you’re the youngest, and you’re going to be our most spoiled little sister.”
“Got it, Wiona?”
Wiona nodded, feeling a rush of warmth.
So the Blue family only had sons.
No girl cousins, just a bunch of brothers and one younger cousin.
Wow, that was some family setup.
With her cousins’ eyes now practically shining with excitement, Wiona suddenly felt a shiver run down her back.
“So… why didn’t anyone have a daughter?”
“I mean, with all your alternative medicine knowledge, couldn’t you have, I don’t know, figured out how to have a girl? Seems like you guys should have had at least one.”
She tried to keep her tone light, but there was a touch of awkwardness in her smile.
Tyler, Dawson, and Ryan glanced at each other, clearly ready for this topic.
Tyler spoke first, sounding kind of annoyed. “It’s all because our oldest uncle couldn’t have a daughter. So when my dad and our third uncle were getting their health treatments, he messed with their herbal formulas.”
Ryan jumped in. “Yeah, it’s true. Dawson and I were both supposed to be girls, but our uncle got jealous that he couldn’t have a daughter, so he tampered with the medicine.”
“After that, both our moms had issues with their health, so they decided not to try again.”
