As Janine attempted to stand, she wobbled and almost fell forward. Thankfully, someone nearby caught her.
Once she steadied herself, she scanned the area seen was no longer there.
“What happened?” the person beside her asked.
refully, but the familiar fiqure she thought she had
Janine appeared dazed. “Nothing. I thought I saw someone I knew, but it was probably just my mistake.”
Just then, Skylar emerged from the doctor’s office.
“Mom, I’m going to get the medication,” Skylar said.
“Okay, go ahead,” Janine replied.
Skylar, absorbed in the medical instructions, didn’t notice Janine’s slight shift in mood.
When Skylar returned with the medication, Janine seemed to have returned to her usual self.
Skylar drove Janine home and decided to stay for a few days.
As soon as Janine realized Skylar intended to stay, she swiftly refused. “The fridge is stocked. Even with one leg out of commission, I can manage on my own. You should go back and not cause Joe any unnecessary worry.”
“Mom, you need proper care for your broken leg. I can’t leave you by yourself,” Skylar insisted, sending a text to Joe to explain what was happening and her intention to stay at Yancey Residence for a few days
Janine was well aware of Skylar’s stubbornness. Once she decided on something, persuading her otherwise was nearly impossible. So, Janine reluctantly gave in.
When Joe arrived at Pearhall Residence, he noticed someone was visiting. He asked the household staff, “Who’s here?”
“It’s Ms. Ruell.”
“Ms. Ruell?” he echoed, a puzzled frown creasing his brow.
When he entered and saw Vera, he was surprised. Vera was chatting happily with Gloria. She turned around when she heard a sound. With a smile, she greeted, “Joe.”
Their unexpected meeting at Pearhall Residence was a surprise for both. Vera had primarily come to speak with Gloria but hadn’t yet had the chance, as Joe’s arrival had interrupted her plans.
Besides, given Joe’s presence, it wouldn’t be appropriate to discuss her reasons for visiting right away. So, she decided it was best to save those words for another time when she could speak with Gloria
privately.
Gloria wasn’t surprised to see Joe alone at Pearhall Residence, knowing that Skylar had other commitments. Yet, she couldn’t help feeling slightly displeased that Skylar wasn’t there.
Gloria questioned the purpose of just having her grandson there.
Half an hour later, Joe and Vera left separately.

Gloria was troubled. “Why did Vera come back now?”
“Are you worried about Mr. Martin?” Edgar asked.
Gloría nodded. “For years, Joe hasn’t let many people get close, and it’s because of her. Even though Joe hasn’t mentioned it, as his grandmother, I can tell.”
“So, does Ms. Ruell’s visit means she wants to be with Joe? And where does Mrs. Martin fit into all of this? “Edgar asked, frowning.
He was relieved that Skylar wasn’t present today; explaining Vera’s visit would have been difficult.
“Joe would never neglect Skye,” Gloria said firmly.
Edgar nodded in agreement. “Yes, Mr. Martin would never do anything to hurt Mrs. Martin. Besides, I believe he’s grown quite fond of her. Their relationship has been progressing well, and Ms. Ruell has been away from Jipsburg for years. Back then, Mr. Martin was still young. Now… we shouldn’t worry too much.”
“It’s impossible not to worry,” Gloria replied, her voice heavy with concern. “Do they think I don’t know about the prenuptial agreement?”
Edgar struggled to find comforting words.
“Vera visited me today, and it wasn’t just a casual visit. Before Joe got here, she likely had something on her mind to discuss with me,” Gloria added.
Edgar was surprised. “What do you think she wanted to talk about?”
Gloria shook her head. “She didn’t get a chance today, but she’ll find another time to bring it up.” “Yes, she will,” Edgar agreed.
