Chapter 14
Grace is a very beautiful woman, with a charming body shape. She had buttery skin, an exotic look with eyebrows, and thick eyelashes that shaded big, deep black eyes as did her short pixie hair and beautiful high cheekbones.
She stared at me wide–eyed, when Jayden introduced me to her
“Ohhh… You really look like Jayden, in a more feminine form,” said Grace in an amazed tone. “Beautiful. Very beautiful!”
She approached me and before I knew it, she pulled me into hearms and squeezed my body tightly.
“I’m happy, finally I will have an ally to scold Jayden if he is too busy with his work that he forgets to eat,” said Grace cheerfully. “You want to do it for me, right, sis?”
I like Grace. She’s perfect for Jayden and she also seems to blend in easily with the rest of Jeremiah’s family, grandfather Kent and Noah.
Grandpa invited us to dinner together and during that time Grace paid a lot of attention to me. She sat next to me and got me food, poured me drinks, and also talked to me.
“Jaydee, darling. I’m staying over tonight, Grace said lightly,
She turned towards grandfather Kent. ‘Grandpa, can I stay the night?”
Jayden’s face was bright as day and Grandpa Kent nodded with a smile.
“Of course, sweety,” said Grandpa gently. “You can sleep in the guest room, as usual.”
“You can sleep in my room, Jayden whispered when grandfather wasn’t looking.
Grace scoffed fiercely and turned to me. T’m staying over because I want to talk to Leora. I’m going to sleep with Leora We’re going to have a girls talk event. That’s okay, right, Leo?”
I nodded and smiled, while Jayden pouted and Noah laughed at him.
So, after dinner, I took Grace to my room. She kissed Jayden’s lips briefly before waving and closing the door to my room.
“I was so shocked when Jay told me he finally found you, Leo,” Grace said, after we had showered and cleaned up, gotten into our pajamas, and were ready for bed. Thave never seen him so happy as he was then.”
“I was also happy when I found out that I still have a family,” I said. “To me, this is all like a dream come true.”
“Tell me, before they found you, how w

Hospital Oh, grandpa, what can I do with a hospital? I only have training as a nurse, I said confusedly
This morning, Grandpa Kent suddenly called me and asked me to lead a hospital.
Of course I’m confused. I don’t understand business at all and haven’t worked in a long time.
The only thing I was going to do after the divorce was work again as a nurse at a private clinic at Mr. Declan company. Cathy’s boss
However, changing circumstances made me confused about what to do. My grandfather and Jayden forbade me from working and told me to just relax. Now, suddenly I’m offered to lead a hospital?
Grandpa Kent laughed. That can be learned as you go, honey. Besides, you won’t be alone. Grandpa will put people who are experts in their field to help you.”
“Uh. I guess I’ll need to go back to college to do that job,” I muttered. “Or at least a course on management and business.” “That’s an easy matter. You can just take online courses. Our family also runs an education business and I think Jayden can arrange that for you,” said grandfather lightly. “So, are you interested?”
Honestly, I think I’m interested. I thought, grandfather wouldn’t have offered me this job if he didn’t believe I was capable.
least he saw potential in me.
Besides. I should have seen this as a new challenge. I had to show myself that even though it turned out I was part wealthy and famous Jeremiah family, I couldn’t just cling to that greatness without doing anything for myself.
of the
I want to show Peter and his family that I am capable of being a great Leora without them, not because my luck was delayed and has now found me, but because I am already great and they don’t realize that so they treat me as they please.
“Where is the hospital, Grandpa?” I asked enthusiastically. “I guess, I can try it, while studying
“Good” That’s called enthusiasm,” said the grandfather happily. “I bought this hospital about two years ago. This hospital is quite large, but because there were too many problems in management, this hospital finally went bankrupt and closed. That’s why I bought the entire hospital at a relatively cheap price, not just for the building and its contents, but also for the operational license. I think before turning it into something else, you can try to get the hospital back into operation.”
This is quite interesting for me. I often see in Korean dramas that conglomerates or charbols buy this building or that company like they just buy fried chicken at a fast food restaurant
I think, now I’m in an era like in those Korean dramas, because I don’t understand how cheap a hospital can be so that my grandfather considered it as a business trial material for people who are blind in that field, like me.
-I want to try it,” I said, more enthusiastically this time. “I think, in this case you !
Jayden will accompany me, right?”
“Of course, honey,” said Grandpa Kent with a big smile on his lips. “Let’s show that you are a true Jeremiah. You are not great because of a man’s name or your family name, but you can also be great because your name is Leora.”
y mind.
Then suddenly something crossed my
“Grandfather, may I ask you something?” I asked in a doubtful tone.
“Of course, Ask”
“If I disappeared from this family at around two or three years old, then was my name really Leora all along? How could the

person who found me know it se precisely? I asked curiously.
Grandpa Kent laughed. “No, your name is not I cora Your mother likes knitting and she knitted your name and Jayders name on all your clothes, inside the collar or at the bottom of the clothes. Your name is actually Leana Allie
I was surprised to hear what Grandpa Kent said. That means the name Leora Evani was given by Mrs. Marry, my adip
name Leora Evani was given by Mrs. Marry, my adeny mother at the orphanage.
“I don’t think Mrs. Mary can clearly see your name knitted on the dress you’re wearing” said Grandpa Kent, describing what I was thinking. “Maybe your clothes were so dirty or torn when he found you that the writing couldn’t be read dearly
I thought for a moment. “Err… Grandpa, do you want me to use my original name given to me by my parents
Grandpa Kent looked at me and smiled gently. “No, honey. You can use whatever name you like, even change it again. Just be yourself and do whatever makes you comfortable.”
“Then, I will keep using my current name. Leora Evanl,” I said firmly.
now you want to
Grandpa Kent nodded. “Of course. But, I will add Jeremiah’s name after that and Noah will take care of the legal administration as soon as possible.”
I thought it was a win win solution that was pleasant for both parties, so I reached out and shook my grandfather’s hand while chuckling-
“Deal, Mr. Kent Jeremiah.”
Grandpa burst out laughing and shook my hand. At that time Jayden came into the living room where Grandpa and I were chatting while twirling the car keys in his hand.
“Wow, what agreement did grandfather and granddaughter make on a sunny morning like this?” Jayden said with a curious expression.
“That’s a secret,” I answered lightly, making my twin brother frown. “And where are you going, looking like a celebrity like
that?”
Jayden approached me and kissed the top of my head, then approached Grandpa Kent and kissed his cheek.
I feel my heart is very warm. Excellent relationships are evident in this family. There was no awkwardness at all between a grown grandson kissing his grandfather on the cheek as a good morning greeting. I think I’m blessed.
“This is a problem with St. Sarena Hospital, Jayden,” said Grandpa Kent. I think we can entrust the management to Leora
now.”
“Oh, that’s a really good idea, grandpa,” said Jayden with a big smile. “You’re a nurse, right, sis? That means you already have enough basics to manage a hospital.”
I sneered at him. The logic is really forced. “You just want to connect two facts that are similar but not the same, twins“” I said while laughing.
Jayden laughed out loud. “Don’t worry, sist, I will help you. For whatever you need just tell me. We Jeremiahs always like new things and challenges. You accepting this job has proven that you are indeed a Jeremiah”
I nodded and tell my heart become more certain.
I have to go now, Grandpa,” said Jayden. “The plane will land soon and I don’t want her to wait too long at the airport
Grandpa Kent nodded. “Go and convey my greetings to her. I also invited her to have dinner here when she is not too tired. She needs to get to know Leora,” said grandfather, smiling at me

“Sure, Grandpa,” said Jayden happily. He kissed Grandpa Kent’s cheek again and this time, kissed my cheek too. “Bye, sist Have fun with grandpa today. Als, I think you can ask Noah to accompany you if you’re bored. He’ll be home this afternoon.
I waved at Jayden who left in a hurry.
“Grandpa, is Jayden going to pick someone up?” I asked Grandpa Kent.
“Yes. He’s going to pick up Grace, his fiancee,”
Jayden already has a fiancé?” I asked in surprise.
“Yes. They have been together for almost three years,” answered Grandpa Kent. “I want to know when they will get married, because it seems Jayden himself is still always busy with his work, as is Grace with her modeling world.”
“Modeling? Grace is a model?” I asked, shocked.
“Yes. She is one of the models at Jayden’s company.”
I was astonished. That means, Grace probably knows Lizzy too?
Oh God, how could that be, my life has always been connected to Peter and his cronies, even after I decided to cut them out of my life.

as your life? I heard you lived in an orphanage?” Grace asked enthusiastically. “Yes,” I said. “I don’t want to bore you with stories about my life. The life of an orphanage child is not interesting at all.”
Grace’s beautiful eyes widened and she slapped my thigh hard enough to surprise me.
“Hey, don’t underestimate children who are raised in orphanages, said Grace fiercely. “I also lived in an orphanage until I was twelve years old and my life was quite exciting”
I stared at Grace with my mouth open like an idiot Grace laughed at my face and shook her palms in front of my face.
“You…?”
“Yes. My parents left me in front of an orphanage when I was only five months old,” said Grace in a light tone, but I could hear the sadness in her voice. “They were very poor and I was born without a plan. When they couldn’t take care of me, they left me in the orphanage, with an envelope of some money and a note saying that they would come back to take me again

after they were successful-
I felt my eyes warm. “Oh, Grace, your story is much cooler than mine.”
Grace looked at me and burst out laughing. “You’re so funny, L. How can a story like that be considered cool? That’s sad!”
I smiled shyly. “I mean, that’s very dramatle. So, are you with your parents now?”
“Only my father,” answered Grace with a sad face. After leaving me in an orphanage, they went to Australia to work and after almost eleven years, they came to pick me up. At that time my mother was pregnant, but when she was about to give birth, complications occurred and my mother died along with the baby. I was only with her for seven months.”
Without thinking, I hugged Grace. At first I felt awkward because I thought she also came from an old money family who might not be able to open up to new people like me.
Grace returned my hug and patted my back gently. “Now I live alone with my father and he really loves Jayden, so I don’t think I can do anything to play with your twin brother.”
I let go of the hug and pinched her waist gently. “Don’t try it, Miss!”
Grace chuckled. “You were ever adopted while living in an orphanage?” asked Grace.
“No. The owner of the orphanage adopted me, because he found me when I was lost and separated from my family. I answered.
“You’ve been married before, right?” asked Grace carefully. “Jayden said your husband was a b“stard.”
I’m laughing. “Ex–husband, to be precise and yes, he turned out to be a b’stard. I had just gotten divorced, and then, when was just thinking hard about starting a new life by looking for a job, Jayden came to me with a big surprise about my background.”
“Did he hurt you physically?” asked Grace with an
angry look
“Later, yes, after his family and mistress slandered me,” I answered glumly. “His mother and sister never liked me, from the start when I married her son. They thought an orphan woman like me would only bring bad luck and cause them trouble.
“F*ck!” said Grace angrily. “I think you should revenge to them now.”
I smile. “As long as they don’t directly disturb me and the people around me, I won’t make them pay anything. Consider me the unlucky one and now I’ve thrown away my bad luck.”
“Oh, you’re so kind, Leo,” said Grace, stroking my shoulder. Tm curious what your ex–husband and his mistress are like. You’re so beautiful and I think you’re smart too. All of Jeremiah’s family is like that, even Noah, who isn’t Jeremiah’s pure blood.”
“You know that Noah is not Jeremiah’s descendant?” I asked.
Grace nodded. “Jayden and I have been friends since we were in kindergarten and then, one day Jayden introduced Noah as his new brother. Since then we have always been together.
To be honest, I feel a little jealous of Grace right now. She knows my brother and Noah better, even though she’s not part of the family. I think I need to work hard to really prove to myself that I am a true Jeremiah.
“Is your ex–husband so rich that he dares to cheat behind your back?” asked Grace again.
“I think he is rich, but of course not compared to Jeremiah. One thing I know for sure, his mistress comes from a very rich family, she even has her own company, a gift from her parents, answered. “And. I assume, you know her too, Grace.”
“I
Grace was surprised and looked at me with raised eyebrows. I know your ex–husband’s affair?”

“What’s her name?” asked Grace.
“Lizzy,” I answered calmly.
Grace almost fell out of bed when she heard the say Lizzy’s name
“Lizzy the lizard?”
