The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1658

Jim paused for a moment, then stood up from the couch. "No, I'll go."

"But..." Grady hesitated, about to suggest that the visitor might have an agenda, but when he caught Keir's eye, he swallowed his words. "Alright then."

He knew the weight Keir carried in his heart. Even if the visitor was trying to stir up old memories, Keir would probably still meet them.

"Okay." Jim glanced out the window at his niece playing outside and added, "Keep an eye on her for a bit; I'll be right back."

He turned to the butler, instructing, "Take him over to the building next door."

The butler nodded promptly. "Yes, sir."

By the time Mirabella returned to the hall, Jim had already slipped through the side door leading to the adjacent building.

Mirabella took a quick look, then shifted her gaze away.

"Miss Mira, how about a little tour? Chester had to step out, but he’ll be back soon," Grady offered, motioning upstairs.

"Sure thing," Mirabella replied with a smile, trailing behind Grady as they climbed the stairs.

They took their time ascending to the second floor.

With her hands tucked in her pockets, Mirabella absentmindedly fiddled with her phone, still mulling over the family head's issues. She looked up at Grady and asked, "Uncle, I sent Nick with some herbal remedies for Chester last time. Has he been taking them?"

Grady slowed down, caught off guard by the question. After a brief pause, he said, "I think he has, but Keir’s daily care is mostly handled by the butler. I'll check with him."

Keir was never one to wear his heart on his sleeve, and even if he had feelings for someone, he kept them close to the chest.

Listening to Grady, Mirabella's eyes wandered to the observation deck at the corridor's end, her gaze sharpening. "Some things only look good on the surface."

Like an apple that looks perfect on the outside but is rotten inside.

Grady opened his mouth, but words failed him, unsure how to continue or what to ask.

Mirabella pulled her gaze back and gave Grady a reassuring wink. "Don't worry, Uncle, I've got this."

Her Chester was still young, and even if his health was shaky, it wouldn't lead to anything drastic out of the blue.
