The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1835

Comparing Chester's frustration, Mirabella remained cool and collected, reassuring him with a laid-back, "It's no big deal."

Her voice was calm and breezy, as if nothing in the world could truly bother her.

Jim, still tangled in his own storm of emotions, filled the room with a tense energy. "Chester, you can't just let them push you around like that."

Nellie glanced over at Jim, "Might I remind you, maybe focus on getting your own act together first?"

"I..." Jim began to protest, but under Nellie's steady gaze, he deflated, his bravado vanishing. "…I'm fine."

Nellie chuckled quietly.

Jim clammed up.

Mirabella, suddenly caught in the middle of their cozy banter, realized just how awkward it was to be the third wheel. Those two definitely needed to stay single a bit longer.

Mirabella hung around the hospital room for less than ten minutes. The vibe was so peaceful, her presence felt out of place.

"I'm gonna walk Mirabella out," Nellie said, noticing Mirabella gearing up to leave. Her eyes flicked to Jim, giving him a nod.

Jim looked between her and his niece, sensing an unspoken bond between them, like they could communicate with just a glance. Reluctantly, he let go.

The corridor was empty, and as they strolled towards the elevator, Mirabella casually asked, "So, Nellie, what's next for you? Not heading back to the family for a bit, right?"

Back when she went by the name Cian, she should have perished in that explosion years ago. Her survival was tied to some mysterious circumstance.

Nellie gave a wry smile, admiring the girl's sharp intuition. With a soft sigh, she finally opened up, "Yes, I'm on the hunt for something... but it might not even be at the First Base."

As she spoke, Nellie's expression drifted away in thought.

When she snuck into the First Base yesterday, no one noticed her at first. It was only after overhearing Santos talking that the alarms blared, leading to her sudden exposure.

Nellie snapped back to the present, focusing on Mirabella, "You've got a piece of white jade, right? I'm searching for a matching piece of black jade."

Hearing this, Mirabella lifted the pendant nestled under her collar, "This one?"
