"Holden, Dad might be a bit out of it these days, but he can still have moments of clarity. You've got to make
sure this stays under wraps, make everyone at the Foster estate zip their lips!" "I got it, don't worry."
Holden felt a wave of unease. Armed with the news, he hurried back to the Foster family estate, only to find
Celina and Cole casually chatting on the living room couch.
"Mr. Foster, my fiance David caught a chill and got sick, but I can't leave the house, so | had to ask Ms.
Evangeline to take him to the hospital for me. You're not mad, are you?"
Celina had rehearsed that with Evangeline, but even so, she hesitated for just a second when she mentioned
David's name. Her voice, usually so strong and confident, softened without her even realizing it when she spoke
to Cole. The old man, with his grandfatherly kindness, made her think of her grandfather.
Her parents never wanted a daughter, so they left her with her grandparents right after she was born. Then, as if
on cue, her grandmother got sick and passed away not long after.

That was when people started saying Celina was bad luck, that she was a curse.
Everyone, except her grandfather, who cherished her like the most precious gem, even though it meant clashing
with her dad and uncles. Her grandfather, a simple farmer cut off by his kids, worked tirelessly to raise her.
Celina fought tooth and nail to get ahead, moving from her rural hto the county, and then to the city. She
finally landed a job in the provincial capital with a salary of 225 thousand dollars a year.
She thought she would finally be able to give her grandfather a good life, but then she found out he was sick
with the sillness that took her grandma, and he did not have much tleft.
However, Celina was no longer a helpless six-year-old. She had beca grown woman, and she was
determined not to let her grandfather down.
Thanks to her impressive work at the research institute, she earned her way into the Bennison family and
becan official member.
Celina's mission was clear: harness
the Bennison's wealth and resources
Create a
miracle drug that could
ease her grandfather's suffering.
Things were going great. Her natural gift had already begun to improve her grandfather's health.
She had imagined a future where she could live out her days peacefully by his side.
However, Julia showed up and turned everything upside down.

The boss was head over heels for Julia, and all of them could see it, though nobody could figure out what kind of
spell she had cast on him.
Before she knew it, Celina was reassigned to be Julia's personal assistant, at her beck and call, no questions
asked.
Thus, she had to leave her grandfather behind and start anew in the strange city of Avalon.
Whenever she saw Cole, she could not help but be reminded of her grandfather. The love for her family had
softened her, giving her an aura of warmth and kindness.
Just like Evangeline had guessed, Cole had cto see Celina as his granddaughter. With the Foster family
looking out for so many, even a pregnant Evie bustling about was safe from harm. Cole could rest easy.
