The Epic Blind Date with My Boss

Chapter 844 I Am Both Leanne And Liana 

“He woke up a week ago. The doctor said there’s nothing seriously wrong for now. But with age, a major illness can take a lot out of him. He needs to take it easy and recuperate,” said Marilyn.

“Dex is always worried and comes over to check on us every day. Henry was afraid he’d neglect his duties, so he told Dex not to come anymore. Who would have thought he’d tell you? Doesn’t this just worry you?” This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

A look of sorrow crossed Josie’s face. She finally understood why she felt an inexplicable closeness every time she saw Henry.

It was not until she sat by the bed that Henry finally reacted and gradually focused his gaze on her face. He stared at her for a few seconds before blurting out, “It’s you, Leanne…”

It felt as if something had seized Josie’s heart.

Marilyn was startled. “He’s confused. This is Jo, Josic, not Liana.”

Josic signaled that it was okay, then immediately took hold of the old man’s thin, bony hand. She forced a smile. “Grandpa, it’s me.”

It’s me. I am Leanne, also known as Liana.

Henry also laughed with tears streaming from his dry eyes. “Is that so? I remember. I’m not confused.”

His mental state was not the best. He lacked energy and was actually quite confused.

However, Josie nodded while holding her tears back. “You’re not confused. I came to see you. How are you feeling?”

“Everyone has to die. We all will eventually. Don’t worry about me, Leanne,” Henry said slowly. His gaze lingered on her with reluctance to let go.

The more he spoke, the more Josie choked up. Eventually, her eyes turned red, and she began to sob. She rested her forehead on the back of her grandfather’s hand, and her back was trembling.

“Why are you crying? Did you not eat well? Or did you not sleep well? Leanne, you mustn’t stay up late. You need to eat on time. You’ve grown so much. It’s been a long time since I last saw you.”

The tears Josie had been holding back these past few days suddenly burst forth, and she could not help but break down into uncontrollable sobs.

Perhaps it was not just for these few days but also for all the lost years.

Why didn’t I recognize my grandfather the first time I saw him

Why didn’t I do anything after encountering so many things later on?

Memories flashed before her like a carousel of images, and she blamed herself.

Josie was crying so hard that even Marilyn, who did not understand the reason, felt distressed.

Only Henry patiently comforted her and treated her as if she were his own granddaughter.

“Did Dex bully you? Tell me. I’ll sort him out!”

When Dexter was mentioned, Josie finally began to calm down.

“I’m just tired. Very tired.” She took a deep breath and revealed her truest self.

That really frightened Henry, and he was about to sit up. “Who bullied you? Tell them that the entire Russell family is behind you. Let them come find me!”

A warmth spread through Josie’s heart, and her tears turned into laughter. She asked Marilyn for a towel and gently wiped Henry’s face.

Fortunately, she discovered the truth just in time.

What she feared the most was that it would be too late for her to fulfill her duties as a filial child.

Henry let her do as she pleased and seemed more and more confused. He said to Marilyn, “See, it’s good to have a granddaughter. That boy, Dexter, never gives me a moment of peace.”

Marilyn responded with a bitter smile.

Henry looked at Josie and suddenly asked, “Have you been doing well all these years away?”

Josie’s movements came to a halt..

“It was not as good as when I’m by your side.” Even without regaining her memory, Josie could feel the warmth from her grandfather. She could imagine how well she had been treated before.

Henry patted her hand. “Will you stay by my side from now on?”

“Okay.”
