Sensing the temperature of the man's palm, Alvina Miller's dull eyes finally showed a hint of response. She turned her head and bumped into the bottom of the man's eyes that were filled with deep concern.
"Alvina, you have to restrain your grief." Thousands of words, they condensed into simple words. Even if Joseph Grant had thousands of words of concern and care, he couldn't say them now, as it would bring back her sorrowful memories.
"Do you believe that my grandfather left by accident?" Alvina Miller mumbled to herself as she asked him. Her eyes were blurry with tears, making it hard to see the man's handsome face.
"Of course not." Joseph Grant replied in a low voice.
"Can you find out the truth for me? I can't let my grandpa leave without knowing why. " Alvina Miller suddenly grabbed his arm with her hands. She exerted a little more strength, and her pale face begged him. Now that her grandfather had left, the only person she could rely on was Joseph Grant.
When a woman was weak, they would feel that the entire world was gray. If someone was willing to help her at such moment, she would feel the Wendy of the sun.
Joseph Grant touched her forehead and felt a trace of scalding heat on her forehead. His heart clenched as he quickly comforted her in a gentle voice, "Don't worry, I've already sent people to investigate this matter. I won't believe a single word that your cousin has said."
"Thank you!" Alvina Miller's heart finally received a bit of comfort as she took the man's hand and placed it on her face. She gently closed her eyes as hot tears rolled down her face and didn't enter the man's fingers.
Joseph Grant's heart was currently in flames, one side feeling heartache, the other feeling furious.
"Alvina, you may have a fever, but your forehead is a little hot. I'll have the doctor come over to take a look." Joseph Grant once again stuck his hand onto her forehead. It was indeed a little hot, and it was definitely because of the wet clothes she had worn in the afternoon that had caused her to catch a cold or a fever.
Alvina Miller nodded her head, and finally became a little more obedient: "Alright!"
The doctor rushed over in a hurry and took her temperature. It had already reached 38 degrees and he quickly concocted a medicine for her to reduce his fever and even prescribed medicine to treat her cold.
When Alvina Miller looked at the time, she found that it was already around six in the afternoon. She immediately looked at Joseph Grant in astonishment, "Didn't you say that there would be an important feast tonight?"
Joseph Grant raised his hand and looked at his watch, his handsome face flashed with helplessness: "Yes, I was just about to tell you, I have to go over now, I'll let Zoey take care of you, you have to be obedient, don't run around anymore. As for your grandfather's matter, if you need my help, you just tell me."
"I'm fine now. Hurry up and go. It's such an important job, don't waste time." Alvina Miller had already calmed down and urged him out.
Joseph Grant leaned over, and kissed her on the forehead: "I'll come over after I finish my work."
"Thank you, my love!" Alvina Miller nodded obediently as she watched the man's tall figure leave.
Not long after, Zoey walked in quickly. Seeing that Alvina Miller's condition was better, she secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
"Alvina, are you okay? Don't cry anymore. For the sake of your eyes." Zoey walked over and gently advised her.
Alvina Miller knew that the people around her all cared for her from the bottom of their hearts, so she nodded his head: "I'm fine, but I can't accept this fact."
"If grandfather died in a strange manner, the President would definitely investigate it thoroughly and not let a single bad guy off." Zoey comforted her.
"I believe he will give me an answer." Alvina Miller also wholeheartedly believed in Joseph Grant's competence and efficiency in handling matters.
