Jeremy sounded upset, so Corinne went soft on him. "Hey! I was just kidding!"
"Little rascal, I promise that none of this will happen again. No one, and nothing, can separate us again," vowed Jeremy as he hugged Corinne tightly.
"I believe you, Mister," said Corinne with a nod.
"Everything is alright. Joey may go home now. Remember, keep his wounds away from water, and change the dressing on time," reported the nurse with Joey's report in her hands. Corinne and Jeremy thanked the nurse and left the ward with Joey.
They then took Joey to Emily's ward to inform her that he had been discharged. They promised to visit her again after they had calmed the rest, especially Pamela and Greg.
The atmosphere in the Holdens' estate was a little heavy. As a precautionary measure, Pamela and Greg hired bodyguards to keep a close eye on their grandchildren.
Christine did not like being watched at all times, so she pouted and whined to Pamela, "Great-grandma, can you please ask these people to stop following me? They're making me uneasy, and it's no fun being watched all the time!"
Benjamin and Bryan nodded. All three of them were not used to being watched round the clock.
"Christine, sweetie, I'm doing this for your own good. You too saw how the bad guy took away your brother Joey! These kind people here will keep you safe," said Pamela while she stroked Christine's head lovingly.
Christine frowned. "That was outside the house. We're inside the house now! Besides, haven't Daddy and Mommy found Joey already? And they said the bad guys were captured too! We're safe now, Great-grandma!"
"That's right, Great-grandma. These people even followed me to the toilet! I almost forgot how to pee when they keep staring at me like that," complained Bryan.
Benjamin nodded anxiously.
The bodyguards had been following them since the previous night. Because of this, the three of them felt like prisoners in their own home.
Pamela shook her head and said, "Now, my dears, why don't we wait for your parents to come home, then you can tell them yourselves. Great-grandma will dismiss the bodyguards if they agree to do that!" "Oh, alright..." answered Christine with a pout.
Bryan and Benjamin had no choice but to go along with the plan.
Suddenly, Francine shouted merrily from upstairs, "Grandpa, Grandma! Jeremy and Corinne are home! I saw their car from the window!"
Pamela was overjoyed. "Finally, they're home! That means Joey is safe! I shudder to think of the guilt I'd have to carry if he didn't come home safe and sound."
Greg patted Pamela's shoulder comfortingly.
When the kids heard about the news, they quickly ran out the door with Francine to welcome Jeremy and Corinne home.
Of course, those annoying bodyguards followed behind them too.
Jeremy parked the car in the yard and got out of the car with Joey in his arms. Corinne got out after.
Francine was the first one to greet them, "Welcome home, Jeremy, Corinne! How's Joey? He's alright, isn't he?"
