Chapter 922

"Annika, just hear me out. Take a couple of days to rest, okay? After that, if you're feeling better, we can talk about getting back to work. Sound good?" Annika

reluctantly nodded, settling back into her bed. "I'll have someone bring you some food later. For now, try to get some rest."

With Annika settled, Josefina left the room and headed to her lab, losing herself in her research.

Three hours later, her phone buzzed. It was Oliver. "Hey Josie, I'm going to be away from Westwood for a few days."

"Take care of yourself," she replied.

Oliver chuckled, a hint of resignation in his voice. "Josie, I know you asked me not to cling, but don't you have anything else to say about me leaving Westwood for a few days?"

"Alright then, I wish you a smooth journey. Hope everything goes your way."

Oliver paused for a moment. "My flight's about to board, Josie."

With that, he hung up, and Josefina returned to her research.

An hour later, she stretched her arms, feeling a sense of achievement. "Finally done."

Josefina stepped out of the lab, pills in hand, and bumped into a young maid.

"What are you doing cleaning here?" Josefina asked, her tone unintentionally sharp.

Startled, the maid explained, "Ms. Josefina, Mrs. Hattie asked me to tidy up here right away, to sweep any fallen leaves and remove wilted flowers so nothing here dampens your spirits."

Josefina was surprised at Hattie's thoughtfulness. Truth be told, her mood wasn't really affected by her surroundings, especially in the serene setting of the Harrison estate, with its birdsong, fragrant flowers, shaded trees, elegant gazebos, and gentle streams.

"Ms. Josefina, I'm sorry if I disturbed you. I'll leave right away."

"From now on, Annika will handle my cleaning. You can focus on other areas."

"Yes, Ms. Josefina, I'll leave now." The maid quickly gathered her cleaning supplies and left.

Josefina checked the lab's door lock, ensuring everything was secure before heading out with her supplies.

Josefina arrived at the Rowland family's home with the medication. "Hunter, take one of these pills daily. When I checked your pulse last time, your health seemed better, but the toxins weren't fully cleared. Taking it at moon is best for detoxification."

Hunter looked at the bottle in surprise, touched by Josefina's gesture. "Josie, thank you," he said, genuinely moved.

"Don't mention it, Hunter. Try it for a couple of days and let me know if anything feels off."

"It'll be fine," Hunter assured her with a warm smile.

Josefina was concerned that Hunter might downplay any issues, potentially affecting his health "Hunter, you must promise to tell me If anything's wrong. Medications can cause reactions."

Hunter's expression turned serious. "Josie, I'll definitely let you know. Don't worry."

After a brief chat, Josefina got up to leave.

Just then, Caiden arrived. "Josefina, let me walk you out," he offered.

"Thanks," Josefina replied, appreciating the gesture.

Caiden walked alongside Josefina, chatting as they made their way out.

Just then, Sandy approached them. "Josefina, do you have time to stop by my place for a bit?" Sandy asked, her valce gentle and a toucho pleading.

Remembering Caiden's request for her to check on Sandy, Josefina agreed. "Of course, Sandy. I'd be happy to visit."
