The Double ( or More ?) Life of The Fake Heiress

Chapter 120
The person on the other end of the phone was none other than the nurse from
the hospital who hadn't managed to catch up with Mirabella.
Mirabella halled a cab and made her way back to the hospital. Along the journey,
Mandy bombarded her with a relentless stream of calls, but none of which she
answered. Eventually. she simply blocked Mandy's number.
“Ms. Mirabella, I am terribly sorry. I should have called you earlier to come pick
up your belongings. I was caught up with something and couldnt get around to
it,” the nurse apologized, handing over a letter to Mirabella with a look of regret.
Mirabella took the letter with a courteous nod. “No problem, thank you.”
“You're welcome,” the nurse replied with a smile. .
As Mirabella walked away with the letter, she paused and turned back to address
the nurse “Can I ask if my grandmother was discharged on her own?”
The nurse shook her head. “I'm not sure about that. I was working the night shift.
I wasn’t here this morning.” She paused and then offered, “Shall I ask one of my
colleagues for you?”
A flicker of disappointment crossed Mirabella’s eyes, but she quickly shook her
head and declined, “No, that's alright,” before walking away.
At the hospital's garden, there were public benches where people could sit and
enjoy the greenery. Mirabella found a spot on a bench and opened the letter.
[Mira, I have gone back to my hometown. You take good care of yourself and
don't worry about me. I'll take good care of my health. I'm waiting for the day you
bring home an international trophy.]
The content of the letter was brief, and the handwriting was far from beautiful. It
bore the slow and rigid strokes of an elderly person. In the corner where the
name was signed, there was a dry mark where a tear had once fallen.
A lump stuck in Mirabella’s throat as she could almost picture Catherine, her
grandmother, writing this letter with a heavy heart and trembling hands. The days
when they had only each other for company flashed before her eyes like scenes
from a movie, bringing back a year of serene memories that stood out in her life.
Mirabella tilted her head back slightly. Her eyes fluctuated between clarity and
dimness as the soft glow from a nearby streetlight cast a mix of warmth and
solitude upon her face.
“That's a rare expression on you.” Suddenly, a voice laced with teasing cut
through the quiet. Mirabella slowly turned her head, and there he was: James,
with his sharp features and lean figure, standing with his arms crossed and an air
of nonchalance about him. She had no idea how long he had been there.

Mirabella’s brows furrowed slightly as she carefully folded the letter and asked,
“What are you doing here?”
James raised an eyebrow playfully. “If I were not here, I would miss your rare
moment of vulnerability, wouldn't I?”
Mirabella stood up and moved closer to James. Her piercing eyes locked onto
him, and her voice was tinged with an icy detachment. “Having trouble seeing
things? Let me get closer so you can have a good look.”

James’ mouth as he beheld the girl
standing defiantly before him. Her
proud stance was a stark contrast to
the quiet figure seated on the bench
moments earlier. He raised his hands

Mirabella let out a soft scoff and
turned away from him, but a thought
suddenly raced through her mind.
Abruptly, her gaze returned to James.
There was a hint of suspicion in her

She knew that when Catherine had
previous heart trouble, it had been
James who had brought her to the
hospital. The idea that her
grandmother could leave without a
trace and that James might have had
a hand in it seemed all too probable.
