The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1361

As James leaned in a little too close, Mirabella instinctively lifted her head. When her eyes met his deep gaze, her heart skipped a beat. "I don't recognize you," she said.

"You deny it awfully fast," James remarked with a raised eyebrow.

Mirabella maintained a poker face, boldly repeating, "I really don't recognize you."

James chuckled. "You've got quite a few little secrets, don't you?"

Mirabella shot him a glare, starting to wonder if this guy had too much time on his hands, poking his nose into everything.

Seeing her reaction, James just ruffled Mirabella's hair, realizing she wasn't going to spill the beans. He decided to let it go for now.

There's always tomorrow.

Plenty of time ahead.

Meanwhile, when David came to, he found Devon still sitting by his bedside.

Devon was holding the bottle of medicine Grant had brought back.

"You're awake, professor," Devon said, noticing David's eyes open. "How are you feeling?"

David shook his head, slowly propping himself up on the bed. "How long was I out? When did you get here?"

But the medicine Grant brought back was dangerous.

It was uncertain whether Grant knew or was pretending to be ignorant.

David's eyes settled on the bottle in Devon's hand, and after a pause, he let out a weary smile. "That must have been hard on him."

Seeing this, Devon felt he had to clarify. "But... this medicine might be doing you more harm than good. Mirabella mentioned you've got chronic toxins in your body because of it."

David was taken aback once more.

"But the real danger isn't this medicine, it's the other drugs that activate the toxins in your body. So, professor, have you been taking anything else lately?" Devon asked directly, his gaze fixed on David.
