The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Carl hadn’t stirred from his coma yet. The car crash hadn’t damaged his nerves, but it had plunged him into a deep unconsciousness. Having undergone surgery from Vivienne, he was still out cold, waiting for the anesthesia to wear off.

No one could get a word out of Carl about the incident until he awoke.

Percival received a call from Richard, urging them to hurry back home.

The reckless stunt that Vivienne and Percival pulled at the racetrack, leaping off a cliff, had gone viral through various videos online. Despite Percival’s orders to take them down, Richard got wind of the incident.

They soon arrived at Ellington Mansion, and Cecilia was the first to greet them, clutching Vivienne’s hand anxiously. “Vivienne, are you alright?” Cecilia circled around Vivienne, ensuring she was unharmed before she could finally relax.

Before Vivienne could utter a word, Cecilia smacked Percival on the shoulder. “You reckless boy, how could you do something so dangerous? Go explain yourself to your grandfather! Vivienne, let’s go inside.”

With that, Cecilia led Vivienne into the house, leaving a puzzled Percival behind.

Inside, Richard inspected Vivienne just like Cecilia had and, once assured, turned his gaze to Percival. Brandishing his cane, he gave Percival a few good thumps. “You foolhardy child! If you want to jump off a cliff, do it alone! Why drag our Vivienne into your mess?”

So, that was what needed explaining.

And it hit Percival hard. He could risk his life, but not the precious granddaughter-in-law of the Ellington family.
