The Parker estate felt like a haven of tranquility amidst the chaos that had enveloped Sophia's life. As she stepped through the grand entryway, she couldn't help but marvel at the sheer opulence that surrounded her.
Granny, who was leaning on Kiwi's arm, let out a weary sigh. "Well, I'll be. This place is even grander than I remembered."
Sophia turned to her grandmother, a concerned expression on her face. "Granny, are you sure you're up for this? We could have stayed at the apartment, I—"
Granny cut her off with a gentle squeeze of her hand. "Nonsense, child. The Parkers have graciously offered us their hospitality, and I'll be damned if I'm going to turn it down. Besides, I could use a bit of pampering after that ruffian's attack."
Sophia couldn't help but smile at Granny's resilience. "If you're sure, Granny. I just want you to rest and recover."
