The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 790

Grady's mind was racing as he hesitated for a moment, glancing in the rearview mirror. "Do you still have that medicine?" he asked.

When he'd asked about the medication earlier, he'd been told it was incredibly hard to make, especially the formulation. Only a master pharmacist with decades of experience could produce something like that.

Mirabella tapped her fingers lightly on her knee. "Why don't you fill me in on Chester's current health condition?"

Grady recounted what the doctor had said during the last check-up. "...that's pretty much it."

"Sounds like the heart issue is quite serious," Mirabella mused.

Grady was taken aback; he'd only mentioned some complications, yet she'd zeroed in on the heart issue immediately. This girl knew her stuff.

Barely able to contain his excitement, Grady blurted out, "You know, Chester took a bullet to the chest when he was younger..."

Mirabella's expression shifted slightly. This Chester character definitely had a past.

After Grady finished his tale, Mirabella summed it up, "So, they didn't get all the bullet fragments out during the first surgery, right?"

This time, not just Grady reacted; even Atlas, the driver, nearly slammed on the brakes in shock. Glancing in the rearview mirror, he finally realized the young lady in the backseat was no ordinary girl.

"Exactly. That's why he had to go through a second surgery. Heart surgeries are incredibly risky, and Chester almost didn't make it off the operating table," Grady recalled, his demeanor darkening with the memory.

Mirabella nodded, unfazed by Grady's intense aura. "Secondary surgeries often lead to infections and other complications. It's almost inevitable."

Snapping back to reality, Grady realized he'd let his emotions show. He cleared his throat, trying to regain his composure.
