Comeback Of The Adored Heiress

Chapter 918:

Their meal lasted almost two hours, filled with heartfelt conversations, laughter, and shared memories. But it seemed those hours were not enough. They were reluctant to part ways.

When Luka was about to leave, his phone rang. He paused and pulled it out of his pocket. He answered and calmly spoke to the person on the other end of the line. After hanging up, he looked at Elaine and said, “It was a doctor. Sarai is still in the hospital. Do you want to come with me?”

Elaine met Luka’s gaze and nodded gently. Then, they all headed to the hospital.

Sarai had been in the hospital for several months. Every time she thought of her daughter and husband in prison, she felt unwell, which had led to a few heart attacks. She had spent countless days making phone calls, sending emails, and even visiting old acquaintances, trying desperately to secure help for her family. However, those who had once smiled at her parties, raised glasses in toasts, and shared in her triumphs now avoided her like the plague. Only Luka remained in contact.

When Sarai heard some noises at the door, she immediately lay down and pretended to be weak.

As soon as Luka and Vienna entered, Sarai struggled to sit up and greeted them, “Luka, Vienna, you’re here.”

“Why aren’t you getting better?” Luka asked indifferently.noveldrama

Sarai sighed deeply, her expression weary. “According to the doctor, my condition has something to do with stress. Luka, after reaching middle age, I’ve realized that family is the most important. With my child in prison, how can I get better? I never thought Elaine could be so heartless.”

Luka’s expression remained calm, showing no emotion on his face. But Sarai didn’t seem to notice it. She continued, “Elaine has always been selfish. When Grandma passed away, she was out having fun. She didn’t even care. I thought she would never do the same again. But I was wrong. She was also cruel to her niece.”

Sarai deliberately brought up the past, knowing Luka was sensitive about it. Sure enough, as soon as she finished her words, his composed demeanor faltered, and a shadow crossed his face. He asked sternly, “But wasn’t your daughter arrested for scheming against Mr. Klein?”

Sarai froze for a moment but quickly replied, “Luka, those were just rumors. In fact, it was all because of Elaine. I never expected her to be so ruthless. She deliberately had my daughter interact with Mr. Klein and then turned against her. My poor child! How could Elaine be so cruel?”

Sarai’s voice faltered mid-sentence, her gaze darting toward Luka. The fracture between the siblings had driven Sarai to bend over backward for Luka’s approval. As their distant relative, she had long envied Elaine, whose bond with Luka had once seemed unshakable. Now, with Elaine absent from the Calderon family for years, Sarai felt as though she was finally about to take Elaine’s place forever. Luka would defend her. He had to.

“Your daughter plotted against Mr. Klein, and now you’re pinning it on me?” A sneering voice came from the doorway.
