Chapter 1246

As Emerald spoke, she was already heading toward the attic.

Andre quickly got up and followed. "Ms. Kinsey, I'll come with you." Emerald paused for a moment before nodding. "Alright."

Then, she shot a look at the maid. "Go ahead and tend to her first."

Emerald changed direction and led Andre to Nyla's bedroom. On the way, she subtly slowed her pace, deliberately engaging him in small talk.

Andre narrowed his eyes slightly, a thoughtful look flashing across his face.

Moreover, from the way she had ordered the maid to "tend to" Nyla first, it was likely an attempt to cover up something she didn't want him to know.

By the time they reached Nyla's room, the family doctor had also arrived, carrying his medical kit.
