The Double ( or More ?) Life of The Fake Heiress

Chapter 1313

Before James could get a word in, Catherine's voice came through on the other end of the line. "Mira, have you been swamped lately?"

Mirabella usually had a set time each week to call her grandmother, never missing a week. But Catherine hadn't gotten a call in the past few days, so she was worried enough to reach out and check in.

"Hey Grandma, it's James," James spoke up after a brief pause.

Catherine was a bit surprised to hear James's voice instead, not quite expecting him to answer. But she quickly gathered her thoughts and after a bit of chit-chat, she asked, "By the way, James, where's Mira?"

James glanced at Mirabella, who was lying in the hospital bed, his fingers tightening slightly around the phone. Keeping his tone steady, he said, "She's been wrapped up in a school project lately. Grandma, is there something urgent? Her lab has some kind of signal blocking, so she didn't take her phone with her."

Upon hearing this, Catherine, though not quite up to speed on the whole school project and signal jamming stuff, got the gist of what James was saying, and her initial worry eased up quite a bit.

She chuckled softly, "Oh, it's just that she usually calls me around this time, and it's been odd not hearing from her the past couple of days."

James had an aha moment and quickly reassured her, "She'll get back to you as soon as she's free."
