The Lost Heiress 324

Chapter 324 Rumors and Silence

Sierra first checked in on Dora in the next room. Once she confirmed the little girl was asleep, she came back out.

“How did it go? Did Dora do okay today?” she asked.

Johnathan shook his head. “She didn’t say a single word all day.”

It wasn’t that Dora was difficult–on the contrary, she was too easy. She never cried or made a fuss.

Johnathan had been busy with work and left Dora in the lounge. Honestly, he forgot about her until lunchtime, when his assistant reminded him. When he went to check on her, she was still sitting exactly where he’d left her, quietly playing with something in her hands. She hadn’t even said she was hungry.

That was when Johnathan realized just how serious the situation was.

He made time in the afternoon to check on her several more times, even tried talking to her, but she didn’t respond. Not to him, not to anyone.

It wasn’t until he mentioned Sierra that she finally reacted.

He’d taken Dora to pick Sierra up that night, but Sierra never answered her phone. He’d asked security and found out she’d been in the lab all day. They waited outside until nine, but in the end, he had to take Dora home himself.

And Dora had emotional issues on top of everything else.

In short, it was a disaster.

He rubbed his temples. “I scheduled a child psychologist to come to the office tomorrow. Maybe it’ll help.”
