Chapter 698

Brandon paused as Bennett handed him a water bottle.

"Looks like Oliver and Dominic are stirring up something. Let's check it out together," Bennett suggested.

"Alright, just make sure to take care of yourself too," Brandon replied with a smile. "Thanks to the supplements Josie's been giving me and my morning yoga, I'm feeling much better."

The two made their way toward the living room.

...

Upon entering, Brandon and Bennett found Oliver and Josefina sitting together, with Dominic across from them. Brandon sighed internally at the sight. Oliver and Dominic were like oil and water.

Stepping in, Brandon casually asked, "What brings all of you to my place today?"

"Just checking in on you," Oliver replied, avoiding any mention of the supplements. Josefina didn't bring it up either.

Josefina flashed a grin. "Grandpa Brandon, Oliver and I came to visit. Do you not want us here?"

"Of course, I do! I'd love it if you and Oliver came by every day. This house could use the energy," Brandon beamed.

Dominic, sitting off to the side, frowned at the warm interaction, feeling somewhat left out. To him, they seemed just like a family.

Not wanting to be outdone, Dominic chimed in, "Grandpa, I've brought you some prime steak, figured it could help strengthen you up a bit."

"Thank you, Dominic. That's very thoughtful of you," Brandon acknowledged.

"It's the least I can do. Mom always tells me to visit and bring you something nice whenever I can."

This reminded Brandon of Sydney.

"Has your mom's leg not gotten any better?"

"No, it hasn't. Someone poisoned her, and the hospitals here haven't been able to help," Dominic replied, his brow furrowed.

"Maybe it's worth seeking treatment abroad. Western medicine might offer her some relief," Brandon suggested, surprising Dominic.

Was Brandon implying they should leave the country, essentially handing over their domestic affairs to Oliver? Impossible.

"Let's stick to local options for now," Dominic quickly added, then turned to Josefina. "I've heard about Ms. Josefina's medical expertise. Do you kvou could take a look at my

mom's condition?"

Josefina? Was this Dominic's true intention for visiting?

P

Before Josefina could respond, Oliver coldly interjected, "We've already tried that. Your mom wouldn't let Josie near and even claimed an allergy to her treatment. I don't think another visit would change anything. Mis Jiangs feg might just be beyond help at this point."

Dominic was livid.

"Oliver, watch your mouth. There's nothing wrong with my mom's health, and her leg

will heal. She'll stand on her own again!" Dominic retorted, barely containing his anger.

Oliver lounged back, his disdain

barely concealed. "Oh, what? Can't

handle the truth? Your mother

rejected Josie's help, and now you're shamelessly asking again. If you're seeking help, at least show some

humility. Your attitude is all wrong."

Josefina added, "Mrs. Jiang refused treatment and hasn't found success elsewhere.

I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in trying again."

Dominic, struggling to control his temper, turned to Brandon. "Grandpa, can you please talk some sense into them?"
