Bab 23: Justin Acting As Husband

Natalie and Justin entered the private room, where a nurse had just finished administering medicine to the old man. The nurse smiled and asked, "You look happy today, Mr. Ford."

"I am. I'm going to meet my grandson-in-law," Albert replied and noticed the two figures who had just entered the room. The smile on his lips widened. "There she is, my granddaughter." He then turned his attention to the tall, handsome man standing beside her. His gaze lingered on Justin for a moment before he offered an approving nod. "Good. Very good."

Justin wasn't sure how to respond to Albert's comment, while Natalie felt a wave of relief wash over her—her grandfather seemed pleased with Justin. It reassured her that asking for Justin's help had been the right decision. It lessened the chances of her grandfather becoming suspicious.

The nurse offered a light smile to the guests and left.
