Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess

"Tori, where's Josie? Where did she go?" Hattie's first concern was Josefina.

Lena couldn't help but feel a twinge of satisfaction. It would serve Josefina right if she were injured too. Though Lena knew it was unlikely, the mere thought brought a smile to her face. Tori responded, "Ms. Josefina is fine. She's a top-notch doctor. The local surgeons couldn't operate on the injured, so they called her in to assist with the surgery."

Hattie breathed a sigh of relief and then dialed Garrett on her phone. "Garrett, honey, our girl is safe. She's got mad skills in medicine, so they asked her to operate on a patient."

Lena was furious. Did she detect a hint of boasting in Hattie's tone? Was this really something to brag about? It was just a surgery, why make a fuss over it? Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ FɪndNøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Tori caught the edge in Lena's mood, and his eyes filled with disdain.

What a pretender to the throne, with a heart full of malice!

Tori's dislike for Lena grew by the second. He wished he could just toss her out, so she wouldn't spoil Ms. Josefina's peace of mind.

Tori added, "Ma'am, Ms. Josefina is exceptionally capable and has flawless surgical skills. The operation is complex, but she can handle it with ease. If you have other matters to attend to, please feel free to go. I'll stay here." He truly didn't want to witness Lena's insidious behavior any longer.

Hattie settled into a chair. "No need, I'll wait here for Josie." Hattie wouldn't be able to relax until she saw that Josie was alright.
