Heiress’s Return 288

Chapter 288 

Yvette spoke with genuine determmation, Yes, once I’m home from the hospital, I’ll stay by Grandma’s side every day until 

she recovers 

Seeing her dedication, Rebecca and Cody felt truly gratified

Suddenly, Felix, who had been silently leaning against the wall, ared intently at Yvette without blinking. Did you call Grandma before she got sick a couple of days ago?” 

Yvette’s heart leaped to her throat, but she managed to keep her expression composed and asked in confusion, Are you talking about me, Felix? I didn’t call Grandma.” 

Felix’s brow furrowed. I was passing by Grandina’s room that night, and it seemed like she was talking to you. She even promised you something.” 

How could it be? You must have misheard, Felix,Yvette said, lowering her head with a mocking smile on her lips. 

Felix, do you really believe I called Grandma, and that caused her to fall ill? I’ve been healing from an injury and haven’t contacted anyone. If you don’t believe me, feel free to check my phone,” said Yvette

With that, Yvette unlocked her phone and handed it to Rebecca Seeing Yvette’s face filled with sadness as she tried to stay strong, Rebecca felt her heart ached as if it had been pierced

That’s enough!Rebecca snapped, glaring at Felix. I asked you to visit Yvette, not to interrogate her. If you don’t want to stay, you should leave.” 

Felix was taken aback by the deep disapproval in Rebecca’s eyes. Rebecca had never did have that look when facing Shakira, or even Lonely Bird

looked at him that way before, but she 

These past few days, Rebecca had been cold toward him, but he didn’t think much of it. However, now he couldn’t ignore the seriousness of the situation

So, when it came to him and Yvette, Rebecca would choose to abandon him without a second thought. Realizing this, Felix scoffed at himself, his heart heavy with disappointment

Felix said, Alright, if that’s how it is, I’m leaving now.” 

Felix!Finn shouted

Felix!Jayden called out

Finn and Jayden wanted to follow, but Rebecca stopped them. Finn and Jayden, let him go.” 

She was furious. Yvette is so frail, yet he assumes the worst about his own sister. It’s just so disappointing.” 

Finn pressed his lips tightly together, and Jayden had deep furrows in his thick brows. The air in the ward was oppressive and suffocating

Cody didn’t look happy, and just then, his phone rang. He stepped out to answer it. It was an unknown number, but the caller hung up without saying a word

Without much thought, Cody wandered off to the outdoor garden that extended from the hallway. The garden offered a broad view of the nearby central park

Cody had taken only a few steps forward when he suddenly froze, a look of surprise and excitement spreading across his face. Mr. Joyce?”

He quickly approached the skinny old man with gray hair sitting on a nearby bench. Once he confirmed it was the person hell been looking for, he was overjoyed

Cody exclaimed. Mr. Joyce, I’ve been searching for you for so many years, and now I finally see you again

Modis slowly raised his head, his cloudly eyes fixing on Gody’s fate as if he were trying to remember something. After a moment, recognition set in. It’s you 

Mr. Joyre, you actually remember me?asked Cody in surprise 

Modis said with a meaningful look, After years of divination, there’s only one girl with such a unique destiny. I surely remember her.” 

Cody was clearly excited. Eighteen years ago, when my wife was pregnant, we were lucky to get your warning, which helped us avoid disaster

Even though we found our biological daughter this year, we still clashed with her, causing disaster in our home. I’ve been wanting to find you to cast another divination, but there’s been no news at all. I never expected to meet you by fate today!” 

Back then, it was Modis who divined that Rebecca’s unborn child would be incompatible with the Nelson family and would affect its centuryold legacy

The solution was to have a child with good fortune live with the family, and only reunite with the biological child when she was grown up

At that time, Cody didn’t believe it and even went until after Rebecca gave birth that he… 

to 

ask Norman for advice, only 

to 

confirm that Shakira was a jinx. It wasn’t 

Cody snapped back to reality, looking at Modis as if he was a savior. Mr. Joyce, you have to save me this time. Our entire family is about to be destroyed by that jinx.” 

Modis’s eyes were murky, and his gaunt face was tinged with a dark hue. Under Cody’s hopeful gaze, he slowly shook his head. Mr. Nelson, I can’t do this.” 

Cody was shocked. Mr. Joyce, what do you mean by that?” 

Fate is fixed. You changed it once eighteen years ago. Now, nature won’t allow you to change it again. If you try to force it, I’m afraidHis hoarse voice grew quieter, filled with heaviness. You’ll face an even more terrible consequence.” 

Cody slumped into the chair, his eyes vacant as he gazed blankly into the distance. You’re telling me our whole family’s going down because of one child?” 

Modis took a deep breath, signaling agreement by staying silent

No, absolutely not.Cody refused to accept this fate. He thought, ‘How can the centuryold legacy of the Nelson family be destroyed in my generation, and how can it end because of a woman?‘ 

His gaze was intense. Since I could change it eighteen years ago, I can definitely change it once more now!” 

He looked at Modis with determination, his eyes filled with ambition. Mr. Joyce, please help us once more. I’m willing to pay any price. As long as the Nelson family can rise to glory again, I’ll do whatever it takes.” 

Modis let out a couple of low, sinister chuckles. Are you really willing to pay whatever it takes?” 

Cody didn’t hesitate for a moment. I am!” 

After a long while, Modis finally spoke again, his voice as light as if carried by the wind, Alright, I’ll help you this time.” Thank you, Mr. Joyce.Cody’s face flushed with excitement

Chapter 288 

After saying goodbye to Xanthe and Latcy, Shakira went back to Eastlake Valley Estate. While Walter was busy with a meeting in his study. Shakira put on an apron and decided to make a bunch of doughnuts in the kitchen

She recalled everyone’s taste preferences, including Matthew, Sen, and Cathy, Gideon, and even made some for Xanthe as well

Levi came in to bring her some coffee and was amazed by the colorful doughnuts spread across the table. Ms. Nelson, you’re really talented. These doughnuts look even better than the ones sold outside.” 

Shakira chuckled and asked, Levi, what flavor do you like best? Levi was flattered and replied, Ms. Nelson, I’ll eat anything you make. I wouldn’t dream of troubling you” 

It’s so simple, really, no trouble at all,Shakira said, glancing at the clock. I can even make some for the cats too.” 

Since cats couldn’t eat sweets, she decided to shape some minced meat into small doughnuts for them. Levi couldn’t help but laugh, joking, If Mr. Lopez finds out you went through all this trouble, he’d probably lecture you.” 

Shakira gestured for Levi to keep quiet. Then let’s not tell him, she whispered playfully. Her hand had long healed and Walter’s fussing was unnecessary

Just as Shakira said that a cold voice interrupted, What are you keeping from me?”
