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

Chapter 239
After leaving the hospital, Mirabella hailed a cab and headed straight home.
Aside from Marian, who was busy in the kitchen, the house was still home to just
one other person — Leo, who had begun to accept his new role as a couch
potato.
Every day after school, Mirabella had a little ritual of popping by the bakery
downstairs to pick up a slice of strawberry cheesecake, and today was no
exception. She walked through the door and handed the sweet treat to Leo.
Looking down at the strawberry cheesecake in his hands, Leo gave his sister a
look that was hard to decipher. “My agent says I've been packing on the pounds.”
Without missing a beat, Mirabella slung her shoulder bag onto a nearby cabinet,
glanced at him. and said offhandedly. “A little extra fluff makes you cuter.”
Leo looked baffled. Since when did gaining weight equate to cuteness?
Mirabella realized she might have chosen her words poorly but was not inclined
to correct herself. She plopped down on the couch. A Messenger notification
pinged, and she fished the device out of her pocket.
It was a message from Nikolai, whom she had recently added as a contact.
Nikolai: Young lady, take a peek at the proportions in this recipe. Do you see
anything amiss? {image}]
Mirabella opened the image to find a common cold and flu remedy but didn’t
overlook that one ingredient's dosage had been deliberately increased by a few
grams.
After pondering for a couple of seconds, she replied. [Is this some kind of special
concoction?]
On the other side, Nikolai received her message and instinctively stroked his long
white beard. He was puzzled — given the young lady’s knowledge of herbs, she
should've been able to deduce the purpose of the mix. After a moment, he typed
slowly.
Nikolai: [It's for the common cold.]
Nikolai: [Look at the amounts again, more carefully.]
Meanwhile, Leo, who was fiddling with his phone, sat down next to Mirabella and
asked, “Hey. sis, do you like music?”
As she replied to Nikolai, Mirabella looked up briefly and answered, “Ah, I listen
to it now and then.”
Leo touched his nose, somewhat disappointed. No wonder his sister always
seemed oblivious to his career. With that in mind, he brought up one of his tracks
and hit play. “What do you think? Is it good?” He cranked the volume to the max
as if concerned she wouldn't hear it properly.

The sudden blast of sound startled Mirabella, nearly causing her to send an
unfinished message. She massaged her temples and said with a hint of
exasperation, “Leo, my ears work just fine.”
Leo persisted, “But is the song good?”
She nodded. “It's great, really great,” her tone dripping with nonchalance.
Leo, sensing her attention was elsewhere, turned off the music with a sulky
motion and leaned in to see whom she was chatting with so intently.
Mirabella didn’t bother hiding her Streen. Without looking up, she said, “Some
old-school alternative medicine practitioner.”
Leo glanced over the chat. It was full of incomprehensible jargon, and he quickly
lost interest, retracting his gaze.
