The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1068

After shooting James a fierce glare, Zach turned back to his sister, sounding a bit suspicious, like he thought she might be trying to skimp on hospital bills. "But I still feel off in some places," he said.

Mirabella casually crossed her legs and tilted her head. "Oh? Where does it hurt? Spill the beans."

"My chest, my head—honestly, everything feels a bit off!" Zach said, adjusting his glasses.

What he really wanted to say was that James was the reason he felt so uneasy. But he knew if he let that slip, his sister would probably give him an earful.

"Is that right?" Mirabella replied with a teasing smile, pulling out a silver needle from who-knows-where. "Maybe a few jabs with this will do the trick?"

She knew better than to coddle him.

Zach's face fell at the sight of the long, thin needle. Yup, his sister was definitely the tougher one.

James cleared his throat off to the side.

That sound only made Zach's expression darken further.

Not long after, the doctor who was handling Zach's tests came into the room.

He’d taken some new blood samples recently and noticed changes in Zach's trace elements, so he asked Mirabella to step outside for a quick chat.

Mirabella shot a look at James before quickly following the doctor out.

Suddenly, it was just Zach and James in the room.

As soon as the door clicked shut, Zach dropped the act, his face going blank as he stared at James. "You better keep your distance from my sister."

He really didn't like this guy. Too many tricks up his sleeve, and Zach had fallen for them more than once.

Even though his sister could be a handful, he wasn't sure she could handle someone like James.

James, cool as a cucumber, met Zach's gaze with a calm voice, "That's a tall order, practically impossible."
