The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 175

Mirabella had tried to reach Jenna earlier, but there was no answer. Maybe Jenna was busy, or perhaps she had left her phone behind. Mirabella didn't call again but sent Jenna a text instead. It wasn't until the second period in the afternoon that Jenna finally replied. [Sorry for seeing this late. My dad's been in a car crash, and I've been taking care of him.]

After reading the message, Mirabella waited until break time and stepped out of the classroom to call Jenna again. This time, Jenna picked up quickly. Through the phone, Jenna's voice came, choked with sobs, "Mira, the doctors say my dad's really bad off. He might... he might end up in a coma..."

Holding her phone, Mirabella listened to Jenna's cries until she had poured out her fears. Mirabella asked, "Which hospital is your dad at?"

Jenna's voice was on the edge of breaking as she gave the details. Just then, the bell rang for class. Mirabella was brief, "Don't be too down, Jenna. Your dad's going to pull through. I'll come by after school. Got to go. Class is starting." She hung up and returned to the classroom with a thoughtful look.

Jenna put away her phone and managed a wry smile, looking over at her mother, who had been standing outside the ICU, rooted to the spot. She desperately wished for her dad's recovery, but the doctor's words had shattered all hope for her and her mother.

After school, Mirabella hailed a cab straight to the hospital. She found Jenna sitting outside the hospital room, looking pale and drained, her eyes red and swollen. It seemed that Jenna's gaze only focused when Mirabella appeared. "Mira, you came."

"Yeah." Mirabella reached out instinctively to pat Jenna's head, then asked, "So, tell me what's going on with your dad."
