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

Chapter 176
Mirabella withdrew her gaze and settled down beside Jenna. She was never one
to mince words or spin fancy phrases for comfort, so she said simply, “Your dad
will wake up.”
Jenna's lips twisted into a bitter smile. “I hope for a miracle.”
Mirabeila patted her shoulder with earnest assurance, “Believe me, miracles do
happen.”
Looking into Mirabella’s eyes, Jenna felt a strange sense of calm wash over her.
“I don’t know why, but even though you're not a doctor, your words are weirdly
comforting.”
Raising an eyebrow with a hint of a smile, Mirabella replied, “Jenna, that gut
feeling of yours is spot on.”
Clearing her throat, Mirabella continued, “Your dad's condition... is like when the
body takes a huge hit and goes into this sort of hibernation mode to heal. Once
he’s patched up inside and out, we'll find some way to jolt his nerves awake. It's
just a matter of time.”
Jenna was momentarily stunned. She didn't quite grasp the whole “hibernation*
concept, but the promise of awakening was like a beacon in the dark, igniting
hope within her.
However, her hope dimmed as quickly as it had appeared. Even Dr. Ray had said
the chances were slim. And Mira... she wasn't a doctor, was she? Perhaps those
comforting words were just that empty comfort.
“Thank you,” Jenna managed to say. It was all she could find words for.
Mirabella, sensing Jenna's mood, didn’t press further. After spending a little more
time at the hospital, she stood to leave. Before exiting, she turned to Jenna,
“When your dad moves out of the ICU and into a regular room, I'll come visit him
then.”
Assuming it was just a polite show of concern between classmates, Jenna didn't
object and absentmindedly murmured her agreement before escorting Mirabella
out.
As soon as Mirabella stepped out of the hospital, she hailed a cab for home. As
she settled in the backseat, boredom set in, and her thoughts turned to Zach.
She fished out her phone and shot him a message on Messenger, [Zach, you
done with work? When are you flying back?]
Zach was just boarding his flight, about to switch off his phone, when he got his
sister's message. He quickly replied, [ have a layover in Lakewood. Should land
around nine tonight. You picking me up, Mira?]
Mirabella ruthlessly shot down the idea, [Nah, gotta hit the books tonight.]
Zach felt a pang of hurt. Was his sister's homework really more important than
him? With a sigh, he texted back, [Alright, just wait for us at home then.]
The word “us’ caught Mirabella’s attention, and she probed, [Not flying solo?]
Zach responded, [Nope, Leo's with me.]
