Caught In His Embrace: A Second Chance Romance

Chapter 395

After hanging up the phone, Howard carried the medicine and water upstairs to find Miranda. "Grandma, it's me, Howard," he said.

"Come in," Miranda said, leaning against the headboard. She was wearing reading glasses and holding a book.

"Grandma, it's time to take your medicine," Howard said and handed her the medicine and water.

Miranda has recovered physically since Josiah left the Flynn residence, but her spirits remained low.

"Alright," Miranda said and took the medicine.

Howard, remembering Josiah's request, said, "Grandma, don't stay cooped up at home all day. Go have some afternoon tea with your friends or take a walk."

Miranda waved her hand and said, "You think it's that easy to find a like-minded confidant?"

Howard nodded and said, "That's true. You and Fiona got along well. It's a pity she passed away so early."

Miranda sighed deeply, "Yes. It's been ten years since Fiona passed away."

Howard said calmly, "Grandma, when you adopted Sienna, was there really no one else in her family she could rely on?"

Miranda paused for a moment, her expression cold. She replied, "Hmph, there were, but it's no different than if they were gone."

Howard said in surprise, "I was just asking. Does Sienna really have other relatives? Who are they?"

"They are not worth mentioning," Miranda said with a disgusted look.

"Since we're on the topic, Grandma, tell me. I won't tell anyone," Howard said.

Miranda glanced at Howard and sighed softly, "Fine. There's no harm in telling you. Although Sienna's mother is gone, her father is still alive.

But that father of hers is utterly useless. That's why I never mentioned him all these years, treating him as if he were dead."
