Kiss My Revenge The Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 263

"The military's really interested in that drug. If she agrees to treat other patients, she's bound to get involved with them. I'm worried they might..."

Elian's gaze turned steely, his voice cold and firm. "If she decides to help, not a single person in the entire military would dare touch her. Not even if the President himself shows up."

Mr. Ashcroft nodded slowly at Elian's statement. After a moment, he turned to Elian. "And what about you? What are you waiting for?"

He knew Elian had already made up his mind to return. But during this time, he hadn't made a move, prompting the question.

Mr. Ashcroft had an inkling of what Elian was waiting for, but it was more interesting to hear it from the man himself. Being old, he sought out the young folks' stories to amuse himself.

Elian leaned back on the couch, hands resting behind his head, staring into space. What was he waiting for?

He was waiting for her to resolve the turmoil in her heart. Waiting for her to bring justice to those who wronged her, to clear her name. Waiting for his little girl to slay the wicked dragons and become her own hero.

Seeing Elian remain silent, Mr. Ashcroft decided to drop the topic. Instead, he started moving his old arms and legs as per Miranda's medical advice.

Two days later.

"Sis, sis!!! Have you seen it? All the platforms are shipping your OTP! It's gone viral, absolutely wild!!"

Miranda had just woken up when Hannah's call came through. She was still groggy when she ended the call, only to be bombarded with Hannah's relentless messages.

Squinting at her phone, Miranda temporarily blocked Hannah. When Hannah noticed she was blacklisted, she felt like her world was collapsing.

As Caius passed through the living room with his coffee, he saw Hannah sobbing uncontrollably.

"What happened?"

Hannah wailed, "Mira blocked me!!"

Caius walked over. "Let me see."

After checking the situation, Caius fell silent.

"If it were me, I'd block you too."

She must've sent a hundred messages by now. Hannah pouted. "I was just too excited."

Caius frowned. "What's there to be excited about? All this nonsense, just causing trouble for Miranda. And honestly, isn't this just a cash grab?"
