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

Chapter 81
After grandma woke up. Mirabella made a return trip to the Davis family. It was a
little past eight in the morning, and even though she finished her usual morning
jog later than usual, her mother, Delilah, suspected nothing. She assumed
Mirabella had simply taken a few extra laps.
Without revealing the truth about her overnight absence, Mirabella quickly
showered and changed into fresh clothes. She then rummaged through a box
she pulled from her wardrobe, selecting a sky-blue porcelain bottle from among
a dozen jars and vials.
She tucked the porcelain bottle into her bag and didn’t linger. Skipping breakfast,
she briefly mentioned Granny's condition to Delilah, who offered to visit
Catherine, but Mirabella refused and promptly left the house.
Twenty minutes later, Mirabella was back at the hospital. However, as she
approached the door of the hospital room and spotted Mandy, Summer and a
boy who looked to be around fifteen inside, her steps faltered.
“Mom, you fall sick and don’t even tell me. If the nanny hadn't called today. I'd still
be in the dark.” Mandy said, pressing on her temples, though she was careful not
to speak too harshly considering Catherine’s condition.
Catherine was propped up in bed, pale and seemingly unwelcoming of the
room's occupants. Her demeanor was chilly and detached.
“I'm fine now. There are doctors and nurses here; you don't need to take care of
me. You should leave,” Catherine stated, her thoughts drifting to Mirabella. She
worried that if Mira returned and crossed paths with them, her granddaughter
would be bullied once again.
Mandy, hearing Catherine’s words, could barely contain her frustration. “You're
unwell, and the kids came specially to see you. Why must you be so cold?”
Catherine simply gazed out the window, silent.
Seeing this, Mandy was truly vexed. She couldn't comprehend why Catherine
was being so stubborn.
“Mom, tone it down. Granny can’t handle the stress,” Summer interjected,
stepping forward and shaking her head at her mother.
Then, turning to her grandmother, Summer's eyes softened. She moved a chair
closer, sat down by the bed, and gently took Catherine’s hand. “Granny, please
don’t be mad at Mom. She's just really worried about you.”
Catherine's icy facade thawed slightly under Summer’s loving gaze. “My health is
fine. You take your mother and brother and go back home,” Catherine said,
subtly withdrawing her hand.
Summer's fingers curled slightly, her smile remaining tender. “Doctors and nurses
can't replace the care of family.”
At the mention of family, Catherine's heart stirred with emotion. “But I don’t need
them... I have Mir...” She caught herself mid—sentence, realizing she was about
to slip up.
Mandy, however, had picked up on something. “Are you waiting for Mirabella
again?”
