The Lost Heiress 327

Chapter 327 Not Quite Right

Even though children were usually hard to wake once asleep, what if she wasn’t?

Only then did Jonathan suddenly remember–there was now a child in the house. He furrowed his brows in mild frustration, already weighing the idea of sending Dora back to Quinn. Quinn’s health had improved significantly. It was time to return Dora to her mother. That way, no one would disturb their nights anymore.

The next morning, for once, Jonathan and Sierra left the house together. As soon as Sierra got in the car, she noticed Jonathan had packed a bunch of Dora’s things.

“What are you doing?” she asked, confused.

“Quinn’s doing much better–she’s ready to be discharged. I thought Dora could go back with her. She is her daughter, after all.”

Jonathan had meant to bring this up last night, but things had gotten… distracted, and he completely forgot.

A child returning to their mother was the best–case scenario. At least, that’s what Sierra told herself. Still, she couldn’t help glancing at Dora and to her surprise, Dora didn’t look happy at all. In fact, her eyes held a clear trace of reluctance.

Sierra opened her mouth, about to say something, when Dora quietly asked, “So… no more bedtime stories tonight?”

Sierra froze, locking eyes with Jonathan before answering, “Tonight, your mom can tell you a story instead.”

Dora said nothing, just lowered her head.
