Chapter 320 One Handful

After Grant finished talking, he sat down on Chloe's bed and gently pulled her into his

arms.

Chloe was already slim, but after days in the hospital, where she couldn't eat or sleep well, and with Sophia constantly causing trouble, she had lost even more weight. Through her hospital gown, Grant could almost feel her bones. Her frailty broke his heart.

Nestled in Grant's embrace, Chloe murmured, "I missed you too, so much..."

The two of them held each other tightly, their bodies pressed close together. They breathed in the faint scent emanating from each other, a subtle surge of hormones rising between them.

"Where's Adelaide? I haven't seen her in days..." Grant asked, trying to distract himself from focusing on Chloe.

Chloe replied, "She's taking care of Kathy. Kathy's guardian isn't around, and she had heart surgery, so she's not doing well."

"The doctor said if her condition doesn't improve, she might need to go abroad for treatment." she added.

"Really? That serious?" Grant asked, looking down at Chloe.

Chloe nodded, "Yeah, Kathy's parents are really irresponsible. First, her mom couldn't be reached, and now, Sophia is also out of contact."

"Kathy is just a kid and not in good health, so she can't explain much. My aunt felt sorry for her and wanted to adopt her as a goddaughter. Honestly, the girl is quite nice, I like her too."

Grant nodded in agreement.

Adelaide, in her forties and never married or had children, would benefit from having a daughter around.

However, Kathy did have parents, and with someone like Sophia as her aunt, it could get complicated if they got involved later.
