"Grandma, you take it easy now. The fact that you're awake means your memories will come back too. If the person who did this is still hiding within the Harrison family, seeing you awake might make them act out again. We'll be ready and catch them red-handed!"
Garrett chimed in, "Mom, Josie's right. It's perfectly normal not to remember everything right away. You need to take care of yourself, and we'll catch this villain together!"
Comforted by the family's support, Emily's spirits lifted considerably.
"I'll remember, I will. And we'll catch that criminal! It was a close call this time; I owe my life to Josie. Josie, thank you, you've been a real trooper."
"Grandma, don't even mention it. You're my grandma—saving you is the least I could do. I'm just glad you're awake—I've gained another kind and loving grandma and another dear family member."
Emily's eyes sparkled with affection. "Sweet talker," she said with a smile.
Josie then suggested, "Dad, let's step out and give Grandpa Robert some time alone with Grandma. She needs her rest. I'll ask the kitchen to prepare some light food for her."
"Josie, you've been a godsend," Grandpa Robert acknowledged gratefully.
With a warm smile, Josie replied, "You're too kind, Grandpa. Dad and I will step out now. You stay and keep Grandma company."
Josie and Garrett left the room but didn't go downstairs.
Instead, Josie led Garrett to the adjacent room, her expression serious as if she had something important to discuss.
Garrett was curious but waited for Josie to speak first.
"Dad, there's something I need to tell you. Mom's not here, so you'll need to fill her in when you get back."
Josie replied honestly, "I haven't; Lena's cautious. I think she suspects I'm a doctor and keeps her distance on purpose. But all this is just speculation. Dad, you could get tested yourself; the toxins in your body aren't completely cleared yet. Keep taking the medication, and by next month, you should be toxin-free."
Josie intentionally hadn’t cleared all the toxins from Garrett’s system, leaving evidence to back up her claims.
She had to preserve proof to validate her story.
Josie continued, "Grandma being at the top of the stairs that late at night is highly suspicious. And very few people would be on the second floor in the middle of the night."
She left it at that, letting Garrett mull over the rest.
With her piece said, Josie was now on a mission to do everything in her power to bring the perpetrator to justice.
