The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1695

Mirabella gave him a sideways glance, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "Well, thank you so much."

Cassie just stood there, speechless. Women could be so sarcastic sometimes.

"Giving medicine to someone whose body is nearly worn out can actually do more harm than good," Mirabella said, her tone turning serious. "Even the most harmless drugs can be risky."

Cassie suddenly got why his sister had tugged on his ear earlier. He cleared his throat awkwardly and tried to justify himself, "I just thought the old man looked a bit down."

"Try using your head for thinking," Mirabella said with a hint of disdain.

Cassie didn't dare argue and lowered his head, feeling guilty.

"David is a disciple that the Second Elder took under his wing. Even though he doesn’t have much time left, he's still connected to us," Mirabella sighed softly.

"Wait, what?" Cassie looked up, genuinely surprised. "He's the one the Second Elder mentioned on his deathbed?"

"Yes," Mirabella confirmed. That was the main reason she went through the trouble of saving David.

Cassie was quiet for a bit before asking, "You gave the old man some acupuncture, right? He should be okay now, right?"

"With your sister on the job, what do you think?" Mirabella raised an eyebrow, a slight smirk playing on her lips.

Cassie let out a sigh of relief. "That's a load off my mind. Otherwise, I'd be in deep trouble."

Switching to more serious matters, Cassie's face took on a more serious look as he turned to Mirabella again. "Sis, did those people come after you this time?"

Seeing the worry in her brother’s eyes, Mirabella felt her care for him was justified. She smiled slightly and said casually, "Yeah, but don't worry. I've got your back."

Cassie felt a wave of emotion. His sister really did care.

He regretted not bringing her more self-defense gadgets.
