Chapter 115: I Like The Way You Are

Julia went to meet Albert, her mind still uneasy about the lie she thought Justin had told the old man. Inhaling deeply, she entered the room, where a nurse was changing his IV drip.

"How are you, Albert?" Julia asked, trying to suppress her unease.

"I’m good," Albert offered her a light smile. "Have a seat."

Justin and Natalie accompanied her as well. Natalie’s heart raced with another series of lies, while Justin remained calm and unfazed, as if nothing was amiss.

Natalie glanced at him, who stood by her side. This man truly has thick skin, while I might die of anxiety.

Justin looked back at her, his expression nonchalant. She sighed and looked away.

"I’m not sure what to say to you," Julia began hesitantly.

"I know you weren’t aware of anything either," Albert said gently, "but as elders, we should just respect their wishes."

She smiled awkwardly. "You’re right. And at least I didn’t have a heart attack like you did after finding out." She tried to lighten the tension.

Albert chuckled. "True. My heart has really gotten weak."

"Don’t worry about anything and rest well. Justin will take care of everything, including Natalie."

Albert nodded. "He’s a fine young man. You’ve raised him well."

Julia smiled. "That I know, but he can be quite troublesome at times, and I want to beat him."

Albert laughed softly. "Grandkids are like that. But now that we’re family, we can look after them together."

Julia nodded. Well, Justin and Natalie were truly her family, and having another old man in the family wouldn’t be so bad.

She felt relived that Albert didn’t ask anything more as she didn’t want to lie about anything. But her heart hurt for being a part of lies now.
