Chapter 406

"Why don't you ask me who I'm treating?" Miranda asked, her curiosity piqued.

Elian, keeping his eyes on the road, replied, "I think I have a pretty good idea."

Miranda raised an eyebrow, "Oh, you do?"

Elian nodded. "It's Sebastian's sister, right?"

Sensing Miranda's surprise, Elian elaborated, "I know Sebastian has a sister, around thirteen or fourteen years old now. But she disappeared from the public eye about ten years ago. The official story is that she's been ill, recuperating overseas."

"In our circles, there aren't many secrets, but the Everhart family has kept her hidden for a decade. Given how Sebastian operates, Susie Everhart's illness must be something extraordinary. Otherwise, they wouldn't have gone to such lengths to keep her out of sight. There might even be some safety concerns involved."

"You all knew?" Miranda asked, intrigued.

Elian shook his head. "Not exactly. It's just my analysis. Some secrets remain hidden not just because they're covered well, but because people who know they're secrets choose not to dig deeper."

Miranda smirked, "You might be onto something."

Elian's mood lightened, a smile spreading across his face.

Elian didn't seem surprised, as if he'd already guessed it.

"Did he pay you well?" he asked, frowning a little.

Miranda chuckled, "Oh, he did."

Elian's expression relaxed. "That's more like it."

After all, if his wife was going to be busy, it better be worth her while.
