Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess

Josefina shut down her computer with a cringe-worthy expression, snapping Garrett and Hattie back to reality.

Hattie rushed over, both shocked and ecstatic. "Sweetie, what on earth did you just pull off? That was like magic! How many more surprises do you have up your sleeve? My girl's got serious skills!" Garrett was astounded. "Josie, were you the expert you spoke of?"

Josefina knew she couldn't keep it under wraps anymore. She hadn't expected them to return so soon. She explained softly, "I used to study with a computer expert for a while. When it comes to these little things, I can handle them."

Hattie lamented again, "Oh, my precious girl, what kind of life have you been living? My poor baby, you've been through so much..."

Garrett watched Josefina with tender eyes, full of tenderness. "Josie, from now on, we will ensure you never have to suffer again."

The couple's kindness touched Josefina. She had braced herself for a barrage of questions, for doubt, but they just believed in her unconditionally.

Josefina said to Garrett, "Hand me your phone. I'll install an app so you can keep an eye on the ward. If any sketchy characters show up, you'll be able to act immediately."

Garrett quickly passed her the phone. After some swift tapping and swiping, Josefina found that someone had messed with Garrett's phone. She cleaned out the malware in a flash and beefed up his firewall before setting up the surveillance feed.
