The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 350

Asher strolled in from the outside just in time to catch the anxious look on his old man’s face. With a roll of his eyes, he turned toward James, who was seated at the head of the table, and poured him a cup of water with polite reverence.

Nikolai, preoccupied with his own excitement, failed to notice his son’s gesture. His gaze was locked on Mirabella as he eagerly inquired, “What sort of concoction did you whip up today? Can I have a peek?”

“Something for the heart,” Mirabella replied without stinginess, handing over the medicine bottle to Nikolai.

A thoughtful expression crossed James’ face when he heard her words. His eyebrows lifted subtly.

Catherine had a heart condition. So, was this medicine crafted for Catherine?

Nikolai uncorked the bottle and shook out a pill, bringing it to his nose for a careful sniff. His eyes lit up instantly. “Ah, it’s another ancient remedy.”

Asher, hearing the term “ancient remedy,” couldn’t help but show a flicker of surprise.

She had concocted an ancient remedy?

While Asher had a decent knack for medicine, he wasn’t as versed in pharmacology as Nikolai. He had once delved into the Hammond family’s heirloom tome of ancient remedies, but after making no significant discoveries, his interest had waned.

Soon enough, Nikolai neatly repackaged the medicine and handed it back to Mirabella, suddenly feeling a wave of nostalgia. It was wonderful how he’d come across several ancient remedies recently. They were something he’d never touched before.

But then a thought struck him... Could the ancient remedies he’d seen in others’ hands also originate from her?

Nikolai shot a peculiar glance at Mirabella.

Nikolai shook his head, dismissing the thought as a fool’s hope. “Never mind, seems like I’m not that fortunate,” he said with a wry smile.

Opportunities, once missed, seldom come around again. He couldn’t bring himself to shamelessly ask her for another chance.

Mirabella just smiled and remained silent.

Asher, overhearing the conversation, furrowed his brows, but quickly redirected his attention back to James.

After a brief rest, Mirabella left the Reeves estate with James and Wyatt. Only after they had departed did Nikolai make his way to the courtyard. His steps were unsteady. Asher followed, babbling non-stop. “Dad, that young lady sure has a knack for precise formulations,” Asher began, pausing before continuing, “But to say she’s more skilled in pharmacology than my brother, well, I can’t agree with that.”

Nikolai stopped in his tracks upon hearing his son’s words.
