Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 460

Lena felt like she was banging her head against a brick wall with Oliver—over and over again. The idea of standing up to him didn't even cross her mind; she was terrified he might lose it and hurt someone.

In a voice barely above a whisper, almost pleading, Lena said, “Oliver, please, let me go upstairs. I'm really worried about Grandma’s condition, I—”

She watched as Oliver casually pulled earplugs from his pocket, popped them into his ears, and settled into a chair, effectively barricading her path.

His gaze was intense, full of unspoken threats, and seeing Lena hesitate, his eyes flickered with a storm of emotions.

What on earth am I supposed to do now?

Desperate and anxious, Lena tried again, “Oliver, I—”

“Shut it!”

Lena fell silent, truly at a loss for words.

Unable to move forward and unwilling to leave, she found herself stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Just then, Hattie, Garrett, and Dorian arrived.

Lena rushed forward. “Mom, I want to go upstairs and check on Grandma, maybe help Josie. But she refused, and now Oliver is sitting here blocking the way.”

Her eyes pleaded with Hattie, hoping she could persuade Oliver to let her through.

Hattie, however, tried to reason with her. “Lena, if Josie says you shouldn't go up, then you need to wait. Josie’s medical skills are top-notch. She’s always been the one to look after Grandma. Don’t worry.”

Lena was on edge.

“But Mom, maybe Josie just doesn’t want to bother me. Let me go up, I can at least take some of the load off her.”

“Is your Grandpa up there with her?” Hattie asked. “With both him and Josie around, I'm sure everything is under control.”
