All Chapters of Poor Heir Millionaire: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

He stopped in front of us with his hands in the pockets of his gown, and when our eyes met, I could see he had bad news to deliver."We," I stammered, tears filling my eyes."Excellent, Doctor Wolfang," he said, surprised at the size of my family. "Can I speak privately with you about this matter?"I had to entrust Brooke to Cody, who sat with her, sharing stories that she loved and that always cheered her up.I walked with Dr. Sparks in complete silence, leaving the others behind with misconceptions swirling in their heads, adding to their distress."What's going on?" I asked as we stopped at the emergency reception, where only nurses were attending."We need to operate on her heart immediately.""How serious is she?""She has a blockage in several coronary arteries, causing her heart to not receive enough blood. One of them is too blocked. Coronary artery bypass surgery will improve blood circulation to the heart, allowing oxygen and necessary nutrients to reach it.""So, what's the

Swift as lightning, the answer came to me without thinking too much, but I desperately wished it wasn't true, that I was wrong because I knew how devastated Jack would be if I told him, or even Victoria, both would suffer too much."We need to do a complete blood count and platelet count for her, Nurse Kim," I muttered hastily for her to take care of it."Why do we have to do that?" Deborah wanted to know, raising one of her eyebrows, stopping the nurse's actions with her furious gaze, along with my breath.I wished to tell her just for revenge, to spit so many things in her face, refute everything I had kept inside for years, but I simply couldn't. Everything got stuck in my throat when I just thought about it."I want to confirm one thing, Mrs. Walters," I whispered calmly, earning her look filled with repulsion for having to follow my orders, for having to depend on me to save her granddaughter, something that was truly ironic when I thought about it carefully because the person sh

He didn't deepen the kiss, knowing we could be caught; he simply brushed my lips lightly before pulling away just as quickly, not giving me enough time to reflect on what had just happened.Startled, I glanced towards the distracted girl, who hadn't even noticed what had occurred. I jumped to my feet before Jack could attempt another reckless move, trying to calm my racing heart, but it was impossible."I-I should go," I said before walking away from him, but he stopped me, grabbing my wrist."I love you, Lucy," he reminded me, with a charming smile that took my breath away and only caused more confusion in my already jumbled mind. "No matter what you do, that won't change; you should already know that. I want to stay by your side because that's how I feel when I see you, because being with you is what makes me happy, not because it's right or wrong, it's because I desire to be with you so much that I can't control it, and nothing really scares me enough to stop."I couldn't comprehen

I opened my lips to respond, to refute him, without having the slightest idea of what to say exactly after such words that had pierced my heart. However, his cell phone started ringing loudly in the pocket of his jacket, forcing me to stay silent.He reluctantly took it out, as he had to move his hands away from my body. At that moment, I felt tears streaming down my cheeks. Quickly, without him noticing, I wiped them away with my trembling hands. Then, I turned my face in another direction while he answered the call."Hello, Vico..." he greeted, a bit uncomfortable with the fact that she was the one who had interrupted us. He patiently listened to what his wife was saying and ended the call abruptly with, "Alright, I'll be there.""Is she here?" I muttered when he put his phone away."Yes. Why?""I need to talk to both of you," I muttered, crossing my arms before starting to walk towards Lucila's room, with him sticking to me, one of his eyebrows raised, almost trying to guess what w

I managed to enter the beautiful house, walking along a narrow path toward the slightly ajar front door.I silently surveyed the surroundings, finding a playground a few meters away, lush trees, and a meadow with beautiful flowers. It looked quite simple on the outside but large enough to accommodate more than three people.The interior, however, was a complete mess. There were broken things on the floor, books strewn everywhere, and attempting to pick them up was a waste of time as there were too many. The place was upside down, with bottles of all kinds of alcohol everywhere. The paintings in the spacious living room were torn, and the only thing that remained intact was the sofa, where Jack had settled to take a long swig of whiskey straight from the bottle, analyzing me with a smirk as if my horrified expression amused him.He was with his shirt unbuttoned, exposing his bare torso. His hair was a mess, and he had a scruffy beard that didn't look too bad on him. With just a glance
