Return Of The Real Heiress: Secrets And Masks novel Chapter 578

Chapter 578

At the sound of Crow’s exclamation, Cherise’s hand, which had been about to continue with the acupuncture, came to a complete halt.

She turned her head slowly and saw that Claire, lying in the bed, had indeed opened her eyes wide. Unlike the weak and exhausted look she had in Astamia, her eyes now were bright and focused, without a hint of fatigue.

“Am I in Clusia?” Claire said as soon as she opened her eyes and saw the ceiling.

Cherise stood there, stunned.

Crow moved closer first, speaking softly so as not to startle her, “Yes, you’re in Clusia. My boss is here. She’s probably just too happy and got frozen. Ms. Garcia, you’re finally awake.”

The first person Claire saw upon opening her eyes was Crow, and she smiled brightly, “You must be Morris, right?

“Why do you look different from the photo Hank showed me? Did you dye your hair this color? The photo must have been retouched, right?”

The last time she had opened her eyes in Astamia, she had only seen Cherise and had no idea what Morris really looked like.

Crow responded with an “Uh,” then quickly clarified, “Oops, that’s not me. You’ve got the wrong person. My name is Crow, and I’m a close friend of your daughter Cherise.

“Morris doesn’t look like me at all–he’s much more handsome. He’s very busy today and couldn’t make it to see you.

“It’s just a misunderstanding. Boss, come on, snap out of it and talk to your mom. I’ll just check the vital signs again.”

At Crow’s urging, Cherise slowly turned around and looked at the person lying in the bed, who was now wide awake and looking back at her. She smiled as well. “Congratulations on your new lease on life.”

“Thank you,” said Claire.

The mother and daughter shared a joyful smile. Both were bright and graceful women, though Cherise resembled Amelia more, while Claire had a stronger resemblance to the late Rayburn.

The news quickly spread to those who knew them. Many people breathed a sigh of relief and congratulated Cherise and Hank, including Dennis and Bella, who had returned to Saphira.

Their affection for Claire was self–evident; they had watched Claire grow up before she was married. Hearing that Claire was alive after all these years made them happier than anyone else, and they considered flying from Yasvissa to Betrico.

Of course, the news also reached Morris, Carson, and Arthur.

Lucas and Mary, along with Jean, learned about the existence of Hank’s mother and wanted to visit but were hesitant, fearing it might cause a stir and inconvenience.
