Yara didn''t waste any time and quickly ended the call.


    "I''ve arranged for him toe tomorrow morning. He''s going to personally check on Grandpa at the hospital," Yara said, putting her phone away and looking at her mom and uncle.


    Kitty''s eyes widened, more surprised than when Yara first mentioned knowing someone from the Pharmacists'' Guild. "He''sing in person to help?"


    Just getting in touch was lucky enough, but a personal visit?


    Kitty felt a bit dazed, as if today''s events were too good to be true.


    "Yeah, we set the time for ten. Mom, you and Uncle shoulde too," Yara added after a moment''s thought. "But let''s keep this to ourselves for now. I don''t want too many people around in case it makes my mentor''s friend ufortable.”


    Austin nodded, clearly on the same page. He smiled warmly, "Don''t worry, I won''t even tell your aunt."


    I mean, who wouldn''t want to meet a pharmacist?


    Yara was essentially setting up a connection for him.


    She just smiled and didn''t say anything more. ncing back at her grandpa lying


    in the hospital bed, uncertain when he might wake up, she said, "Alright, Mom, Uncle, I should get going. I''ve got some academic stuff to discuss with my ssmates."


    "Of course, Yara, go ahead," Austin said, his tone softening even more.


    "Mhm," Yara nodded politely, picked up a book lying nearby, and walked out.


    Kitty followed her, "I''ll walk you out."


    They left the hospital room and stopped at the elevator. Yara


    pressed the button to go down and turned slightly to face Kitty. "Mom, why did you tell Uncle that Grandpa and I were a match?"


    Kitty had expected this. She coughed slightly, looking down, too embarrassed to


    meet Yara''s eyes. "I just didn''t want you to go through any hardship."


    "Mom, Grandpa is family. You shouldn''t have said that," Yara said, her voice tinged with frustration. Her mom''s actions often left her conflicted.


    Wouldn''t a simple, honest family life be better?


    Why rely on scheming, not realizing it could end up isting everyone?


    "You''re young and haven''t experienced much. You wouldn''t understand," Kitty shook her head, clearly not wanting to argue. "Don''t worry about it. Just focus on your career."


    Before the elevator arrived, Kitty quickly switched topics, "You''re my pride, sweetheart. Knowing


    someone from the Pharmacists'' et


    Guild is a big deal. Make sure to thank your teacher properly. We owe them for this favor."


    Yara looked at her mom, pausing for a second. "You don''t need to make thingsplicated. My teacher isn''t looking for anything in return, so please don''t try too hard to impress his friend tomorrow. It might backfire."


    Kitty nodded vaguely, "I get it, don''t worry."


    Just then, the elevator dinged. Yara didn''t say anything more.


    As the doors opened, a young man named Eddie was inside. He looked a bit


    surprised to see Yara and Kitty, but quickly stepped out.


    "Yara, ma''am,” Eddie greeted them with a respectful nod.


    Yara nodded back and stepped into the elevator.


    As the elevator descended, Kitty turned back towards the hospital room, asking


    Eddie, who was following her, "So, what''s the situation now?"
