Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 879

Chapter 879

Alivia felt a pang of defiance but knew she had to back down.

Antonio had booked her a flight for tonight, setting her up to leave the country. Once she was safely abroad, she'd reveal Max's secret lineage. The Dorsey family might be powerful, but they wouldn't dare to snatch someone from Desiree's rehab center, would they? With a sneer, Alivia accepted Antonio's plan.

Inside the rehab center, Desiree, who should have been bedridden, was showing remarkable improvement over the last few days. Foods that once made her grimace were now being eagerly consumed as she cooperated with her doctors, much to everyone's relief. Burdened by her granddaughter's troubles, Desiree seemed to have had an epiphany, a newfound light twinkling in her eyes. Gone was her perpetual frown, replaced by a lively spirit as if she had taken some sort of miracle elixir.

After a thorough check-up, the doctors concluded that Desiree's illness was rooted in emotional distress, and now that her burdens seemed to be lifting, her health naturally improved. Stubbornly tight-lipped, she told everyone who asked that her granddaughter had appeared to her in a dream.

Desiree didn't rush back to the Lynch household; instead, she reached out to Dustin. As expected, his phone was off. Her eyes narrowed. In her dreams these past few nights, she kept hearing a young girl's voice saying, "So many people are trying to stop me from seeing you, I don't even know who they are."

Despite her advanced age and frail health, which should have made her susceptible to such shocks, those words filled her with an urgent desire to rise from her bed. She longed to bring her granddaughter home herself, but she knew she had to wait.
