The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1309

Ten minutes ticked by, and Adler watched Mirabella sitting there, slumped, eyes closed, her face a ghostly pale that made his stomach twist with worry. Then, her phone's ringtone cut through the quiet of the night corridor—not loud, but sharp enough to be noticed.

Mirabella didn't stir, not even a flicker of a reaction. Adler hesitated, then moved closer and called her name twice, but she stayed silent, as if she were in a deep, dreamless sleep.

Something felt off to Adler. Sure, her breathing was steady, which was a relief, but it was still strange. Just then, Dr. Ray returned from settling Nick back in his room, and Adler quickly filled him in on Mirabella's state.

Dr. Ray glanced at her, remembering something she’d mentioned earlier in the ER, and reassured him, "She's just worn out. Give her a day or two, and she should bounce back."

"So, she's okay then?" Adler let out a breath he didn't realize he'd been holding.

"Yes, that's right," Dr. Ray nodded, though he did pause first.

Feeling a bit more at ease, Adler's mind wandered to his curiosity. "When she was rushed in, was it true she had no pulse or breath?" he asked.

Dr. Ray took a moment. Everything had been such a whirlwind when she arrived, and since she wasn’t connected to any machines—just those incredible acupuncture needles—his focus had been entirely on that astonishing technique, rather than her vitals.

The next morning, Mirabella was still out cold, her face as pale as the night before, no sign of improvement. Atlas had Dr. Ray check her again, and once more, everything seemed perfectly normal, no red flags.

Dr. Ray found it odd but remembered what the young woman had said last night and repeated it word-for-word to Atlas. Hearing this, Atlas could only breathe a temporary sigh of relief. With Mr. Nick still unconscious in the next room, if anything else happened to Miss Mira... well, he'd be at the end of his rope.

After Dr. Ray left, Atlas stayed put beside Mirabella, making arrangements for someone to inform her school about her absence.
