The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart

Isabel and Estelle bid their farewells and returned to the hospital room, still somewhat distracted. "Sweetie, what's on your mind?"

Her husband had just tucked their son into bed and noticed the uneasy look on her face, mistaking it for worry or discomfort. He pulled her to sit down, "The doctor said the fever's gone down, it's all good now." "Honey, I can't shake off the feeling that Bri's hiding something from me."

Isabel was suspicious.

"Even if Ms. Lynette is close to us, she's not family by blood. It's normal for her to keep some things from us." Her husband, knowing their close relationship, didn't think much of it. Doesn't every adult have their secrets?
