EuropeNovelChapter 1054: She had already been given something for the pain, so when Ethan arrived, he found her resting in bed, gazing through the window.
Ethan said, "Grandma, how are you feeling?" He was relieved to see that she looked alright.
Stepping closer, Brenna reached out to gently squeeze Belen's hand. "Letexamine you, Belen," she said with genuine concern.

With practiced care, Brenna examined Belen and found no major health issues. She should be ready for surgery soon.
On the other side of the bed, Ethan clasped Belen's free hand. “We should have been looking out for you better," he said, guilt flickering across his features.
Realizing she hadn't been introduced, Gracie strode forward without waiting. "My name's Gracie. I'm a friend of Ethan's and also helped build the Mitchell Group," she said with poise.
Graceful and composed, she exuded the air of someone raised in privilege. Belen offered a grateful nod in return. "It's lovely to meet you. I appreciate you coming all this way," she replied kindly.
Ethan said, "Gracie's been there forsince the beginning. When the Mitchell Group was just a dream, she helpedpull it off." That bit of backstory made Belen realize just how much Gracie had supported her grandson. She motioned toward the fruit on the nightstand.
Picking up an apple, Ethan handed it to Belen, who then held it out for Gracie. "There's not much I can offer, but please take this apple as a small thank you," she said with a gentle smile.
Gracie understood this as a sign of Belen's approval, accepting the apple with joy, and said, "I know sexcellent orthopedic doctors in Norview. If you need them, I can introduce them to you." Just then, Ronald and Bess entered from outside, spotting Ethan. "Ethan, you're here. Perfect timing; let's take Grandma for her tests." Glancing around, Ethan didn't see his mother or Kenny. "Where's my mother?" ☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐ galWaving a stack of documents, Ronald explained, "She's on the phone with a specialist, and Kenny's taking care of the bills. The doctor wrote up these test orders. Let's make sure we get through everything." Brenna finished her assessment of Belen and turned to Ethan. "Belen's in great shape, all things considered. She should be able to handle the surgery," she assured him.
A wave of relief washed over Ethan, his shoulders finally loosening.
Bess was delighted to see Brenna again. She admired Dalton, and upon learning last tthat Dalton was Brenna's brother, she had been thinking of ways to meet Brenna again. If she could, she definitely wanted to add Brenna on Facebook and becfriends with her, hoping to get closer to Dalton by doing that.
Brenna decided it would be best if Bess went with her for Belen's check-up. Being accompanied by other women always made these visits feel less awkward. Medical exams often called for slevel of undressing, and even though Ethan and Ronald were family, certain things just went smoother with women around.
Elsa and Ethan had connections at this hospital, so they didn't have to wait in line for any of the tests, saving a lot of time.
