The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella)

Grady's mind was racing as he hesitated for a moment, glancing in the rearview mirror. "Do you still have that medicine?" he asked.

When he'd asked about the medication earlier, he'd been told it was incredibly hard to make, especially the formulation. Only a master pharmacist with decades of experience could produce something like that.

Mirabella tapped her fingers lightly on her knee. "Why don't you fill me in on Chester's current health condition?"

Grady recounted what the doctor had said during the last check-up. "...that's pretty much it."

"Sounds like the heart issue is quite serious," Mirabella mused.

Grady was taken aback; he'd only mentioned some complications, yet she'd zeroed in on the heart issue immediately. This girl knew her stuff.

Barely able to contain his excitement, Grady blurted out, "You know, Chester took a bullet to the chest when he was younger..."

Mirabella's expression shifted slightly. This Chester character definitely had a past.

After Grady finished his tale, Mirabella summed it up, "So, they didn't get all the bullet fragments out during the first surgery, right?"

This time, not just Grady reacted; even Atlas, the driver, nearly slammed on the brakes in shock. Glancing in the rearview mirror, he finally realized the young lady in the backseat was no ordinary girl.

"Exactly. That's why he had to go through a second surgery. Heart surgeries are incredibly risky, and Chester almost didn't make it off the operating table," Grady recalled, his demeanor darkening with the memory.

Mirabella nodded, unfazed by Grady's intense aura. "Secondary surgeries often lead to infections and other complications. It's almost inevitable."

Snapping back to reality, Grady realized he'd let his emotions show. He cleared his throat, trying to regain his composure.noveldrama

After a few seconds of thought, Mirabella spoke again. "I'll make another batch of the medicine when I get back. But remember, medication can only manage the condition, not cure it entirely."

Grady, misinterpreting her, asked, "Are you saying these issues can be completely cured?"

Mirabella, calm as ever, replied, "It's not a big deal."

Just a few acupuncture sessions would do the trick.

Grady was bewildered. Conventional medicine had said it could only be managed with drugs, yet here she was, claiming it wasn't a big issue. If he hadn't seen the effectiveness of the medicine she'd given before, he wouldn't have believed her.

The car fell silent. Mirabella turned her gaze to the window.

Just then, her phone rang. It was Shawn.

She answered without mentioning she was in Grady's car. "Yeah, I'll be home soon."

Grady heard the conversation but kept quiet, his thoughts distant. It seemed like a good time to have a chat with Zach and the lady of the house.

Ten minutes later, the car stopped at the entrance of the residential area.

Mirabella didn't ask Atlas to drive in. She waved at the two men and walked into the neighborhood with a light step.

Once her figure disappeared, Grady told Atlas to drive off.

After a few minutes of silence, Atlas straightened up and broke it. "Seems like the miss has her share of secrets."
