Chapter 19

Penulis: Little Happiness
Timothy paused, as if thinking about his schedule. Then, he said, "I'll be back on Friday afternoon. Give me two days."

I let out a small sigh of relief. At least he had agreed to my request.

On my way back, I checked with a funeral parlor, and they advised that it would be best to conduct the burial in the morning, as the weather could become too hot after noon.

I didn't dare ask too much of Timothy, though. I didn't want him to change his mind. Two days from now, in the afternoon, my daught

    Zachary trailed off, leaving his thought unfinished.I had no intention of discussing my relationship with Isaac any further. "Mr. Holmes, I know you're busy. Why don't we begin the interview?""Sure." He seemed to realize that he had crossed a line and didn't press the topic again.We spent nearly an hour in the private room. His answers were structured, thoughtful, and grounded. Every detail reflected the kind of depth that earned someone the title of "legend".Traditional medicine and business were worlds apart, yet he had excelled in both.When we wrapped up, I packed my recording device and notebook and stood. "Mr. Holmes, this was incredibly insightful. Thank you for your time."Instead of responding right away, he reached beneath the table and took out a small rosewood box. From it, he extracted a smooth, milky white amulet with faint blue veining."Ms. York, one moment," he said.He held the amulet out to me, his tone formal and tinged with regret. "I only recently lear

    "Okay. Send me the address," I said over the phone. I had agreed to Christine's request almost immediately.After hanging up, I grabbed my coat and headed to the entryway.Timothy heard the movement and emerged from the kitchen. "You're going out?""Yeah. Something came up at work. I have to go." My tone was flat, and I didn't offer any more details.Shannon looked up at me anxiously, as if afraid I might leave her behind.I took her hand and said to Timothy, "Take care of Daphne. I'm taking Shanny with me."The smile on his face faded slightly. "Do you have to go now? The cake is almost done. Daphne made it herself. Don't you want a taste?"I replied, "I'm just like you. I don't have a sweet tooth."After I said that, he fell silent.He probably remembered all those times I had eagerly handed him a spoonful of cake, asking him to try it, and how casually he had brushed me off.He had no ground to insist now.Still, when he saw me taking Shannon, he stepped forward and said,

    Worry was plain on Shannon's face, her eyes dull and heavy.I knew what she was afraid of. She was scared of being left behind and sent back to Kaylin.I tightened my arms around her and firmly said, "No. I'm not going with Mr. Grant."However, Shannon didn't look convinced. She tilted her face up and said, "But Daphne said her dad is taking you home."I didn't need to guess. Timothy must have spoken to Daphne privately and filled her head with promises.Daphne was still a child, so she believed what Timothy told her.I smoothed Shannon's hair. "I promise you. I won't leave you behind. I'm not going back to his house. And I would never give up on you."Only then did the tightness in Shannon's small face slowly ease.Right at that moment, Daphne's bright voice rang out from outside. "Daddy's here!"My heart sank.She must have thought that Timothy and I had made up, because the resistance she once had toward him was gone.Beside me, Shannon stiffened again. Her small hand clu

    I let out a quiet breath of relief.It seemed that I had guessed right. No matter what, Yasmin would always find a way back to Timothy.With her back in the picture, he wouldn't have the nerve to ask Daphne and me to move into the Grant residence again.Just as the thought settled, my phone rang. It was Victoria calling.I answered it.Her voice sounded tired and worried as she said, "Josie, tell me the truth. Did you really get back together with Timothy? Did you actually forgive him? A man like that won't ever change. I can't bear to see you hurt again."Her concern made my throat tighten. I said, "Mrs. Shore Senior, I should've talked to you first before letting him show up at the banquet. I thought I'd upset you. I was afraid you'd blame me.""Silly child." Victoria sighed, her voice full of affection. "At my age, do you think I couldn't see that you were protecting Isaac? If I had known about your plan, I would never have let you sacrifice yourself like that!"I swallowed

    "No!" Yasmin exclaimed.Her head snapped up, and her voice shook as she said, "Tim, I told you before. I don't mind staying out of the spotlight. I won't interfere with Ms. York—""Let me finish," Timothy cut in, his tone sharper now. "Josie and I are going to rebuild our lives. If you remain in Seavale, it will complicate everything."Beside them, Harriett watched Yasmin sob and inwardly sneered at the performance.After seeing her true colors the night before, she finally understood what it meant to meet someone stronger than herself.Yet her secrets now rested in Yasmin's hands. Thus, she had no choice but to step in. She firmly questioned, "Timothy, have you forgotten about Josie and Isaac? Even if you bring her back, do you really think her heart is with you? Are you fooling yourself?""Josie and I grew up together," he replied without hesitation. "What we have isn't something outsiders understand. She made a mistake. If I'm sincere, she'll come back to me."Harriett's voic

    Night deepened, yet the Grant residence remained brightly lit.Housekeepers moved quickly through every room with cleaning supplies in hand. Even the gaps between the crystal chandelier pieces were carefully wiped down.Timothy stood in the center of the living room, his brows slightly furrowed. "Laura, keep an eye on everything. I want the house restored to exactly how it looked before Josie moved out."He paused, his gaze landing on several decorative pieces Yasmin had bought at auctions and placed around the room. Then, he added, "And remove anything connected to Yasmin. Not a single item stays. Josie cannot see any trace of her."Laura froze for a second, then her face broke into a smile. "Got it, Mr. Grant. Does this mean that... Mrs. Grant is coming back?"After he had publicly declared his feelings for me at the banquet, everyone had seen it. Social media overflowed with congratulations. She had been waiting for this day for a long time.At the mention of me, his tone soft

    "Just because you defended me, it doesn't mean that you get to do whatever you want with me," I said, furious.Timothy said, "I just wanted to tell you that the infection might delay my discharge by a week or two, which means you'll be here longer."There was a sly gleam in his eyes, as if he were

    I let out a sigh of relief for Ruby, too. I asked, "Did the doctor figure out what triggered the allergy?""They're still running tests. We won't know until later," Ruby said. Then she sighed, looking annoyed. "The doctor said that Daphne will be fine after the IV, but if she goes home and mentions

    I paused mid-step, a flicker of hope finally breaking through the darkness. I explained, "Actually, I'm married. My husband is Timothy Grant, CEO of Grant Corporation."Isaac's expression didn't change. He simply lifted his chin slightly, signaling me to go on.Thus, I told him everything—about ho

    "Ms. York, you can't let something like this show up in front of Timothy. After all these years of marriage, don't you know that?" Yasmin looked at the takeout bag in my hands with clear disdain.I smiled and replied, "Thanks for the advice. I get it now. But if you're religious, you shouldn't wast
