Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother

Chapter 456: Old Friend

Serena was finally awake. Her attending doctor, along with the psychologist, visited her. The doctors informed the family that Serena’s condition could improve significantly, but she wouldn’t be entirely the same as before. There would still be limitations to her mental ability and physical strength.

The serious injuries from the past and the brain hemorrhage caused during childbirth had affected her badly.

The positive thing in all of this was that there was a chance she could come out of the entrapment of past events and might begin to recognize new people and situations around her. There was still a long way to go, with many more limitations.

But the family was happy. As long as she could recognize them, accept the current situation, and decide to be happy, it was all fine.

They allowed her to rest and gave her some time.

Marina had her eyes moist as she said, "As long as she recognizes her sons and realizes they are with her, I am sure it will bring her great relief."

"It will happen, Grandma," Natalie assured her. "We have to be a little patient."

Once Marina was calmed, Justin said, "Grandma, there is something I need to tell you."

"Yes?" the old woman asked.

"Meira," Justin said, "She is..."

"Not my granddaughter and your sister," Marina said, which shocked the others.

"You knew?" Aaron asked.

Marina hummed. "There was no way I could trust that old man, as he tortured me for years by not letting me see my granddaughter. How could he do it so easily?" she said. "Also, that girl Meira didn’t have a particular mark on her right arm that she had after her birth. I’m sure Aeldric could care less to even cover it with surgery."

"Mark?" Justin asked.

"Yes, there was a red burn-like mark on her right hand on the inside, just below the elbow. I checked, and Meira didn’t have it," Marina replied as she looked at Justin and Aaron with worry. "Where has that old man kept her? Tell me the truth... Is she even alive..." her voice turned heavy.

"We don’t know where she is, neither did that old man," Justin said and explained everything to Marina.

"Serena did it?" she asked.

"Yes. And I believe she is alive, and we will find her soon," Justin assured. "My people are on it. Once we’re back to the Imperial City, we’ll expand the search."

Marina trusted her grandsons.
