The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella)
Chapter 1319

Now, not only was Nick awake, but he could also feel his body in surprisingly

good shape, hardly what you'd expect from someone who'd just been at death's door. He had no clue how Mirabella had managed to pull him back from the edge, but it must've cost her a lot. As these thoughts ran through his mind, Nick's hands tightened into fists. With a newfound burst of energy, he tossed the covers aside, determined to get out of bed.

"Where is she? I need to see her."

Atlas quickly moved to support him. "Mr. Nick, take it easy. Miss Mira's fine. She might wake up any minute now. She's been through a lot to save you, so maybe you should..."

Nick cut him off, gripping Atlas's arm and looking him square in the eye. "She's my sister."

Who else would be worried if not him? His eyes were bloodshot with concern. Just then, the door swung open, and a cool, unfeeling voice drifted in. "Oh, so now you remember I'm your sister?"

Nick froze at the sound, quickly turning his gaze to the doorway.

Mirabella stood there, wrapped in a loose black coat that hid her slim figure. She walked in without a rush, stopping right in front of Nick, her face calm and expressionless.

Sensing the tension, Atlas softly called out, "Miss Mira," and instinctively backed away, giving the siblings space.

Nick almost stumbled back onto the bed, "..."

Mirabella looked at him, then surprisingly let out a small smile and pulled a chair over to sit. "Mr. Hough, you're quite the big deal now, aren't you?"

Nick thought to himself, maybe it wasn't too late to just crawl back into bed and pretend he was still asleep.

After a long moment of silence, he finally slid back onto the bed, pulling the covers back over himself. "Sis, you're here."

Mirabella just looked at him, her expression unreadable.

Atlas had to bite back a laugh. If anyone else saw Mr. Nick like this, they'd probably be rubbing their eyes in disbelief. His tough-guy image was taking quite a hit. swnovel

Mirabella rubbed her temples, then reached over to check his pulse. "Are you feeling alright anywhere?"

Nick shook his head. "No... but what about you? Atlas said you've been out for days."

Atlas blinked in surprise. "??"

Nick, not one to play fair, had clearly put Atlas on the spot!

After checking his pulse, Mirabella finally seemed to relax. She looked at him

lazily, "Sleeping isn't so bad. I'm doing just fine, aren't I?"

Nick had more questions bubbling up, but when he met his sister's eyes, his curiosity faded away. Remembering something, he straightened up a bit. "That guy who helped me get out of the medical coffege, he wasn't found out, was he?" swnovel

Mirabella gave a confident nod. "Don't worry, he's safe."

"That's a relief," Nick sighed.

"Yeah," Mirabella said softly. "For now, you don't need to go back to the research

institute. No one suspects a thing. Just focus on getting better."

Nick nodded, looking at Mirabella with appreciation. That night they broke into the research institute, her calm and precise directions over the communicator had shown him just how sharp she was. Even if i had been him calling the shots, he doubted he could've stayed so composed in the heat of the moment. swnovel
