The Secret Heir Return To Wealth And Love

She looked considerably worn down.

With a heart full of concern, Hilaria gently caressed her granddaughter's cheek. "Why on earth have you worn yourself out like this? Doesn't Wayne have a whole team of managers handling things over at Bane Corporation?"

"I'm okay, really, not tired," Rosalynn replied with a shake of her head. "Day after tomorrow, Erica Shields and Larkin Carter will be passing through H City, and they're planning to drop by. I'll ask him to prescribe me some more of those revitalizing supplements."

Tears welled up in Hilaria's eyes as she pulled Rosalynn into an embrace.

"Oh, my precious child," she thought, "Why do you have such tough life?"NôvelDrama.Org content.

Meanwhile, Paige paced back and forth in the living room.d2

"Hilaria didn't even bother to check on Trista. She just pulled Rosalynn into a room with that stern face of hers. I've got this uneasy feeling in my gut!"

Baillie, cradling her daughter, followed Paige's anxious strides with her eyes, "Hilaria loves Rosalynn. Even if she's upset, she wouldn't say a harsh word to her."

"Do you think... do you think Granny Hilaria might push Rosalynn towards a divorce?" Paige whispered, stopping in front of Baillie.

Baillie pondered for a moment. "It's possible, but I doubt Rosalynn would agree to it."

Paige sighed deeply. Still worried, she decided to call the kids over.

"Ivy and Cory, Granny Hilaria just got in, and she's probably giving your mom a talking-to right now. We need to launch a rescue mission!"

Ivy nodded vigorously. "What should I do?"

"Just dash over there right now and knock on the door! Then both of you dive into your great-grandma's arms, tell her how much you've missed her. That's our chance to swoop in and save your mom!" Paige instructed with mock seriousness.

Before she could finish, Hilaria's voice rang out from behind, "What's this? You guys are teaming against me, am I a villain?"

Paige turned around with a sheepish, ingratiating smile. "Hilaria, the kids and I were just playing around. You're the rock of our family, not some villain, right Ivy, Cory?"

As she spoke, Paige and Ivy exchanged a quick glance, perfectly in sync.

With exaggerated sweetness, Ivy chirped, "Great-Grandma, I've missed you so much!"

With that, she launched herself into Hilaria's open arms.

"Oh, my darling, I missed you too! Let's see, have you grown taller again?"

Paige let out a sigh of relief, then caught Rosalynn's half-amused, half-mocking gaze.

Hilaria showered affection on both Ivy and Cory, and after a round of hugs and kisses, her concern returned. The little girl was shooting up like a weed, but what about her brother? Why wasn't he growing as well? She worried it might be related to the bone marrow transplant he had. Something would have to be done; she'd need to consult an expert.

With these thoughts swirling, Hilaria turned back to her family, smiling as she scooped the chubby Trista into her embrace.

"And who's this little cherub?" she cooed.

The baby giggled immediately
