The lost heiress never forgiven

The Lost Heiress 13

Chapter 13 Help

Finished

Thanks to the Xander family and Shane, Sierra barely slept that night. Her dreams were filled with the past.

When she woke up, her entire body was cold.

Even so, she got up on time and went downstairs.

She preferred the harsh heat outside over the suffocating darkness of a room.

Everyone was there except for Denise. But for once, not a single person in the Xander family dared to look her in the eye.

Sierra didn’t care about their reactions. As long as they didn’t bother her, she was fine with anything.

Her mind was already occupied with thoughts of what ingredients she needed for her research.

Breakfast was the quietest meal the Xander family had ever had.

Eleanor and the three brothers kept stealing glances at Sierra, but she remained completely indifferent.

When she finished eating, Evan stood up first. “I’m heading to campus. I can give you a ride.”

Sierra didn’t even look up. “No need, Mr. Evan. I don’t have class this morning.”

She was going to the hospital to see her grandmother.

But there was no need to tell him that.

After wiping her mouth, she walked out without another word, leaving the Xander family in heavy silence.

“Bradley, I’m canceling today’s work. I’m going with you,” Sean muttered, poking at his sandwich. “I don’t believe what she said.”

Evan added, “I’m coming too.”

Bradley nodded. The three brothers left together.

Sierra arrived at the hospital with a bag of her grandmother’s favorite noodles. Just thinking about the old woman’s smile made the corner of her lips lift slightly.

But her good mood instantly vanished when she stepped into the room.

James was standing beside the hospital bed, his tone filled with frustration.

“What do you mean there’s no money?”

“That damn girl loves you so much. If you ask, she’ll definitely give you more.”

“I checked. This hospital is expensive. She already prepaid a good amount.”

If the money could be refunded, he would’ve taken it for himself already.

Grandma kept her eyes closed, ignoring him.
