Chapter 33 Let the Kendrick and Wilson Families Fall!

“No need to worry about my studies,” Annelise said, pushing Isabella’s wheelchair forward “Just focus on staying healthy. You should listen to Lenny. No more sneaking sweets”

Isabella muttered under her breath, “How can you not study? I heard that girl they took back has stellar grades.”

“Isn’t that a good thing?” Annelise said with a light chuckle. “Your real granddaughter takes after you. She’s sharp as a tack.”

Isabella looked up, concern creasing her brow. “But what about you? What’s your future?”

“I’ll make my own way,” Annelise replied, helping Isabella slip off her shoes and socks. “I will live well. Lenny, go get the herbal bath.”

Lenny snapped to attention with a muffled “mmph!”

He hoisted the medicinal bucket, dashed to fill it with water, and hurried back, his footsteps thumping loudly.

The boy’s strength was almost unnatural for his size.

Annelise was used to it.

Isabella laughed softly. “That’s Lenny. Small as he is, he’s got the strength of an ox. Just the other day, the neighbors bought a pair of stone statues. Couldn’t get them off the truck Lenny just strolled over and lifted them like they were nothing.”

Annelise’s brow twitched slightly at the story.

Lenny froze mid–step.

She shot him a teasing glance. “Young and strong, huh? No surprise there.”

Isabella poked her hand playfully. “Strong? That’s not just strong. It’s a downright miracle. Our neighbor, Madge, was gobsmacked.”

Annelise tossed a casual look over her shoulder. “You hear that, Lenny? Keep it low–key next time.”

Lenny nodded sheepishly, a goofy grin spreading across his face.

Isabella sighed, undeterred. “You’re dodging the topic again. Listen, you’re at a technical school now. Getting into university will be tough. Let me pull some strings

“Grandma,” Annelise interrupted with a gentle smile, “I’ve got this. I’ll pass the exams

Isabella had raised Annelise since childhood. She knew the girl never boasted, only spoke when she had a plan.

She didn’t press further, but in her heart, she was already planning to reach out to old contacts over the weekend, pulling whatever strings she could to secure Annelise a spot at a good school.

After Isabella finished her foot soak and drifted off to sleep, Annelise stepped out of the

inner room.

Lenny stood waiting outside, his posture rigid, signing quickly with his hands.

“Got it,” Annelise said, her voice soft but edged with steel. “Go get some rest. I’ll find a way to get back the Etherhart Herb and the manual.”

This time Gloria had taken everything, even things she used to despise. That was no accident.

In the past, Gloria had never cared about the clinic’s herbs. Yet suddenly she had gone after the Etherhart Herb.

Someone had to be guiding her. And Annelise was willing to bet it was the Kendrick family

Her eyes turned glacial, a chill settling into her thoughts. She realized the blacklist wasn’t enough to teach the Kendricks a lesson.

A soft autumn breeze stirred the air, scattering locust blossoms across the courtyard.

Annelise stepped forward, picking up a fallen petal and pressing it to her lips, its faint sweetness lingering.

Lenny stood beside her, head tilted, puzzled by the faint smile playing on her lips.
