Love the Second Time Around Novel

Chapter 141 I Finally Have Backup

Two years ago, my grandfather went through coronary artery bypass surgery. Since then, his health deteriorated, and he couldn’t afford to be triggered emotionally.

He was the one who suggested moving to the suburbs. In the beginning, we disagreed, but he insisted on moving.

Unable to convince him, we gave in at last, but we made him promise that he would go for a medical check-up in the city monthly.

Since I was young, my grandfather had always doted on me. Even after Louis was born, I was still his precious little princess.

I didn’t have the nerve to tell him about me and Julius, afraid that it would enrage him and make him ill.

Only when the matter had been solved did my Mom spill the beans.

“If Julius wasn’t in jail, your grandpa would snap his head off,” she commented.

Having joined the army when he was young, my grandfather was outgoing and extremely belligerent.

It had been a long time since I last met him, so we were elated to see one another.

Gazing at me, a look of distress crossed his face. Needless to say, it was because of Julius.

I wrapped my arms around him like I used to do when I was young. “Grandpa, I miss you so much. Do you miss me?”

“You little brat. Why haven’t you visited me for such a long time? I bet you don’t miss me.”

I shook my head vigorously. “That’s not true! I miss no one but you every day! Grandpa, how are you recently?”

He let out a hearty laugh. “I’ve never been better. But… I’m sorry for what you’ve gone through.”

“No, I’m fine. Besides, I still have you and my family.”

“I’m glad to hear that. Tell me if you ever face such a thing again, I’ll stand up for you. Then, no one would dare bully my precious granddaughter.”
