Chapter 19: Annoying Men In Her Life

On the way back from the hospital, while driving her car, Natalie wondered what she was going to tell her grandpa about her husband once he woke up. Unlike others, would he even believe her?

Having something in her mind, she parked the car on one side of the road and picked up her cellphone.
