The Bound Between Us

Chapter 685

Hank returned to Southridge Estates with the twins, and Judy was pleasantly surprised and overjoyed. She had been staying there with little Patty, feeling the emptiness of the house and missing her grandkids terribly, yet unable to see them. As soon as Hank saw Judy, he handed little Emmy to her, saying, "Mom, can you hold her for a bit? My arms are getting tired."

A baby weighing only a few pounds making someone's arms tired? That was just his excuse, knowing Judy was longing for a cuddle.

Judy chuckled, "Sure, just a sec. I'll wash my hands first. I've been cleaning, covered in dust."

With nothing much to do, Judy had tidied up the house. Though they had a housekeeper, Judy couldn't sit still; luxury living just wasn't in her bones. Even if she wasn't fussy, being covered in dust and having dirty hands, she indeed needed a wash first. After washing her hands and disinfecting them with sanitizer, she finally went to hold her granddaughter. Patty, hearing her siblings had returned, came downstairs, craning her neck to see.

I'm really sorry, I just thought they might harbor germs, or the string could strangle them, nothing more. Please, don't take it the wrong way." Katelyn's upfront apology took Judy by surprise, but she wasn't one to hold grudges, smiling, "No worries, we're family. No need for formalities."
