Holden said, "Kathryn, this is a small gift fromand your brothers. We're family, so of course, we had to visit you in the hospital. I'm getting older and not as strong as I used to be, and I've been in the hospital myself recently, so I can't take care of you. But your brothers are still young and can look after you. If you feel uncomfortable having them here, you can ask your sisters-in-law to cand stay with you. There's no need to rely on Mr. Fraser all the time-after all, he's still a stranger."
Holden stressed the word "stranger," reminding Kathryn to keep her distance from Pedro. The people at the hospital, unaware of the situation, probably thought Pedro was Kathryn's husband.
Holden didn't like Pedro. In fact, he despised the all-around assistant who was always by Clarissa's side. Don't be fooled by how friendly he seemed with Mr. Dunn, sometimes even acting like they were brothers. The truth was, Holden hated Mr. Dunn deeply.
Mr. Dunn was more respected by Clarissa than her own husband and was trusted with everything. Clarissa confided in him, while she kept many things secret from Holden. He only knew what Clarissa wanted him to know, and nothing more.

Marco added, “Yes, Kathryn, your sisters-in-law can take care of you. They can chat with you and keep you company. Mr. Fraser is busy, so we shouldn't burden him with this."
Clarissa had suddenly ordered Holden and her sons to replace Pedro and not let him stay with Kathryn. They were her family, and they should be the ones taking care of her in the hospital.
