Chapter 26
Stanley arranged two checkups for her every year, and knew her only better than anyone
Bridget glared at him, “What quack? I thought that girl was doing great, good skills, good temper.
As she spoke, her eyes suddenly lit up I thought she was perfect to be my granddaughter–in–law
Stanley raised his eyebrows with a headache and said coolly, “You see a woman, alive, and you think she can be your granddaughter–in–law.”
What’s wrong‘ Don’t trust my taste?”
“Grandma, this thing was all about a good vibe.”
Chemistry you didn’t even meet, how did you know there was no chemistry?”
Bridget didn’t buy it “Just wait, I’ll go a few more times, get to know the girl, and bring her back for you to meet.”
I’m telling you, so well–behaved and looks…”
“Grandma,”
Stanley heard his temples throbbing, reached out to rub his stomach, and said, “I’m hungry”
“Hungry? Look at the time, why haven’t you eaten yet? You, just wait!
Bridget jumped up, didn’t even want her cane, and walked quickly into the kitchen to cook him some noodles.
Off to the side, Enrique spoke up a little worriedly, “Should we have our people check out this doctor, so Bridget doesn’t get tricked?”
“Not necessary.”
Stanley picked up the bowl of medicine and sniffed it, his eyes cold “Bridget being happy was the most important.”
Then this medicine_*
“Just selling some herbal tea, scamming Bridget’s money”
Stanley looked cold and gloomy, slouched loosely on the sofa, his long legs awkwardly placed. His voice was cool as he said, “Just don’t let her bring anyone home.”
‘Yes.‘
Enrique agreed, picked up his phone and glanced at it, then frowned and reported, “Sir, tomorrow the Herring family has a family dinner, and Miss will go
Stanley’s eyes drooped a little, and you couldn’t tell if he was happy or mad. “When did she ever miss anything?
“Miss probably couldn’t escape another round of family punishment, should we still not go
The man kept a cold face and cut him off, “What’s it got to do with me?”
Didn’t she like Coleman? Then she could just wait for Coleman to protect her
Enrique wanted to say something but stopped.
Why did i feel like our boss was mad?
Bridget moved quickly and soon brought out a bowl of noodles. She looked at her grandson and sighed again, “You came to my place, the Herring family one knew about it, no problem, right?
He was talking about Stanley’s official grandina, Madani Herring.
“What opinion could she have?

A cold look flashed in Stanley’s eyes. When he looked up at Bridget again, he hid it and said, “You don’t have to worry. She didn’t dare to do anything reckless now.”
“I only had you as my grandma from then on.”

As long as she didn’t go far, Jensina always liked wearing skirts.
No matter if it was spring, summer, autumn, or winter.
So when Gertrude saw Jensina come out of the room, she was a bit surprised and couldn’t look away, “Why aren’t you wearing your usual dresses today”
“I needed to go back to the old house.”
Jensina kept it short. When she saw Gertrude still looked confused, she added, “Afraid of being punished to kneel, pants can add an extra layer.”
Gertrude thought the reason made sense and couldn’t say what was wrong, but still felt something was off.
After breakfast, Jensina went out with her.
“Weren’t you off today? You’ve already been seeing patients for three or four days.”
Um
Jensina smiled and said, “I had nothing to do at home anyway, so I just went to help out.”
She didn’t want to be alone today.
There were a lot of people at the clinic, and when it got busy, the whole day just flew by.
There wasn’t even time to overthink.
In the afternoon, she had just finished giving a patient an injection, and a few younger nurses started shouting by the window.
It snowed again.
Jensina checked the time, hurried back to the office to take off her coat, grabbed her bag, and left.
The weather forecast said it was moderate to heavy snow today.
She had to leave early so the roads wouldn’t freeze and get jammed, and being late would just give people an excuse to pick on her.
The taxi driver was really stingy. Even though it was freezing in the car like an icehouse, he still didn’t want to turn on the AC.
Jensina was rubbing her hands in the back seat. The driver said apologetically, “Sorry, I wanted to save some power and drive a few more kilometers.”
“It’s okay.”
Jensina glanced at his rather pale face in the rearview mirror and said, “It’s no big deal if I get cold once in a while. But you, your heart probably isn’t great, night? Try not to do this.”
The driver was surprised, “Hey, how did you figure that out?”
He didn’t wait for her to speak, just gave a bitter smile and sighed, “This illness got passed down to my daughter, and now I just wanted to save up enough money for her surgery.”
Jensina just saw his daughter on his phone’s lock screen.
A little girl with big eyes looked a bit sickly because of illness, probably just over six years old
Jensina, said, “So how much more do you need to save?”
The driver grinned’Almost there, just need to save up another thirty or forty thousand, then the doctor can put us on the schedule.
Thirty or forry thousand

By the time he saved up thirty or forty thousand, with his daughter’s condition, it was probably too late for surgery.
Jensina lowered her eyes and didn’t respond.
She wanted to wait for Coleman to go back together, got off after scanning the payment code a few hundred meters from the Herring’s
mansion.
The snow just kept getting heavier, falling down like goose feathers.

She saw it was about time, took out her phone and called Coleman, “Cole, how much longer till you get here? I’m waiting for you at a pavilion near the old house.”
“Sina….
Coleman seemed to hesitate for a moment, “Something came up at the company that I need to handle. You go back first, I’ll come over as soon as I’m done, okay?”
She didn’t have the right to say “no.”
She’d been cold for too long, and her voice sounded a bit nasal.“Okay, about what time?”
“Yeah, I’ll definitely be there before seven thirty.”
“Okay, then I’ll wait for you.”
After hanging up, Jensina looked disappointed. She didn’t wait for him and headed to the old house alone.
Coleman wasn’t coming tonight.
There was a moment when she thought she was ridiculous.
How could I have thought I could use that little bit of guilt Coleman had to get by with the Herring family?
In the past, before Lyman passed away, Coleman only came back with her when he happened to need to talk business with the Herring family.
Besides, Juanita was already single again.
His time with Juanita wasn’t enough.
That little cake on the side.
