Chapter 481 - Is it Braxton's?

Meanwhile at night Elder Valdez and Maria returned back after conducting the critical surgery in duration of twelve hours. 

It is the one of many miraculous operations they did. So far only one person with that critical condition passed that stage and succeeded in making back alive. 

The fact to state here is that, this person have undergone that surgery in care of Elder Valdez and Maria is one of the best surgeon who assisted him while conducting it….

Totally content and happy with their accomplishments, Elder Valdez couldn't help but feel that his granddaughter is his personal lucky charm. 

As she is one of the best student and doctor under Valdez's he knew she will reach the higher peaks just like her mother if she is trained properly. 

After all a student can't win the award that was stopped awarding some years back. Jean and Rick are the only people who achieved it after such a long time….

Taking all these things into consideration he decided to train her personally. 

As she just completed her specialization, he is having high hopes on her. He wanted to look his daughter Sophia in his granddaughter Jean. 

It is not a coincidence that she decided to choose medical field despite of her business background. She is destined to become a one of the best surgeon…he can see that future in his precious granddaughter. 

Madam Valdez who is waiting for her husband and daughter smiled at them warmly. 

"Congrats for achieving another miracle" she happily congratulated them and kissed her husband's cheek before hugging her daughter. 

Whereas Maria rolled her eyes at their PDA at this old age. But no one noticed the yearning and heart wrenching pain it brought her. 

She couldn't help but miss her husband. Only if he is alive how good it would have been…

No one except Sophia knew that Maria was married….

But what is the use, she already lost love of her life..

She is just living her life just because she have someone to look after…

Her son Jeff…..

Now, it is also her daughter Jean…..

Though they are not her children, she never felt it…

"What are twins doing?" Elder Valdez asked his wife after returning her kiss. 

Maria and Madam Valdez smiled heartily but their eyes saddened. 

He use to refer Sophia and Maria as 'twins' and never called anyone like that after Sophia 'died'. And now this 'New twins' are healing the wound Sophia's death left in his heart. 

Jean really brought the liveliness of this family back…

Madam Valdez chuckled as her tears welled up. "Both have slept while talking to each other" she said with warm smile. 

Elder Valdez nodded his head and started walking to his granddaughter's room. Maria quickly excused herself and left to her room. No one saw the tears on her face as she swiftly walked inside the elevator. 

Meanwhile the old couple reached the room where Jean and Jeff are sleeping. 

Jeff is sleeping on the couch holding his sister's hand as if it is his life meanwhile their pregnant granddaughter is sleeping comfortably on queen sized bed with a smile on her face. 

Jeff moved the couch nearer to bed so he could sleep and not leave his little sister alone. How considerate of him….

Elder Valdez who is known as cold and aloof person is not at all like that from inside. His family is his life….

He lost his sister to military while his another sister eloped with another military person. His daughter followed her aunt steps and got trapped in even bigger mess which killed her….

All thanks to Braxton's…..

If he wanted someone to vanish from this earth he will surely choose this family. He is even more glad to kill them with his own hands but he is not into revenge. 

All he wanted is a safe and secured life for his family. 

But, now it's seems like his granddaughter is following her mother footpaths…

It worried him…

After looking at his both grandchildren for some time he placed his wrinkled hand on Jean's belly as if blessing his great grandchildren. 

With the warm and tender look in their eyes the old couple relieved back to their room. 

...

Meanwhile Scott couldn't sleep at all….

Unlike his Wifey, he started feeling lonely and shallow. Waking up he thought of calling his wife but after seeing time he decided against it and went to the training room and started working vigorously. 

His whole team leaders are now facing his wrath. All thanks to their lady boss….

But their hardship didn't end with it, one of their team following Jean contacting him. 

Valdez's villa is one of the biggest house and because of security surrounding it they couldn't keep up their hawk like watching on their lady boss's safety. 

Scott frowned and pinched his nose feeling helpless. Now, he have to explain everything to his wife's grandfather and ask him for permission. 

He paused his sparring contest with one of his team leader and went back to his room and called Elder Valdez. 

Elder Valdez who just exited his granddaughter's room smiled in amus.e.m.e.nt. His favorite grandson in law is calling him now…

"Looks like he is missing his wife so much. Let me send this photo" Madam Valdez chuckled and clicked a picture of Jean and Jeff. 

She sent him the photo and meanwhile Elder Valdez answered the call. 

"Missing your wife, boy" He chuckled but after listening to what Scott is telling his frown deepened. 

Why should his granddaughter need such a high class security?

He walked to the room which consists monitors and opened the outdoors footage. Just like Scott described there are two persons standing there waiting patiently. 

However Elder Valdez is not bothered by that people but with the logos connected to their uniform. 

He knew who exactly they are.. 

Council….

But how is his granddaughter connected to it….

"Is it Braxton's?" Elder Valdez asked seriously.
