The Heir's Secret Bride

Chapter 430

No wonder Maeve had never heard Loren mention his father. The royal family was secretive about Wren's husband. Now, she understood why. The man who stole "Erancia's Rose" and abandoned her must have been truly heartless.

As a woman, Maeve didn't judge Wren but felt sympathy for her despite the choices Wren had made that went against royal expectations.

In the top-floor suite, the entire floor was reserved for just one person, filled with every luxury and specialized equipment to aid Wren's recovery.

Tom led Theo into the inner room, where the soft sounds of a piano drifted out. A woman with long golden hair braided over one shoulder sat at the piano, dressed in a simple white silk gown. Her slender figure emanated a quiet grace.

"Wren," Tom said gently, holding Theo's hand as they approached. "I came to visit, and I brought a little guest." Wren paused her playing looking over at them. Her green eyes, strikingly similar to Loren's, held a hint of sadness. "Why bring a child here?" she asked softly, her voice almost ethereal.

Theo looked up at her, noticing how much she resembled Tom. "Hi, Auntie! I'm Theo, Tom's good friend!" Theo said, his voice sweet and clear. "I'm also a doctor, a really good one! Tom brought me to help you." Wren chuckled. "Do you have a medical license?"

Theo pulled a stack of certificates from his pocket, dropping papers everywhere. "Hold on. I'll find the right one!" Theo exclaimed.

With Theo's stack of credentials, he looked like a tiny hustler. Tom stifled a laugh behind a cough.

"Aha! Here it is!" Theo held up a certificate proudly.

Wren smiled, her sadness softening. "So you're really qualified. How do you plan to treat me?"

"No rush." Theo moved closer, peering up at her. "Wren, was that Moonlight Sonata' you were playing? My mommy loves
