Master of his heart (Max and Brielle) novel Chapter 855

Desiree held onto a lace handkerchief, looking a bit under the weather. Despite this, she shook her head and managed a faint smile at Annie.

Annie kept one hand behind her back, gripping a dagger, her face showing nothing but innocent cheerfulness.

“Make sure you rest up, dear. Godfather's been swamped with his new project and hasn’t had the chance to visit, but you’re not holding it against him, are you?”

Desiree’s voice was weak but carried a touch of elegance. “He’s got a lot on his plate too.”

Annie lowered her lashes. “I’ll check what the kitchen cooked up today.”

“Sasha, I’d like to be alone for the rest of the afternoon. No visitors.”

“Of course, Grandma. I’ll let everyone know.”

Once Annie left and gently closed the door, she turned to the nearby guard. “Did anyone else come in earlier?”

The doorman shook his head. “Today, you were the only one who entered, Annie.”

Annie frowned, her eyes clouded with doubt. Where on earth had Brielle gone?

“Cough, cough.”

Desiree cleared her throat and reached for her handkerchief to dab at the corners of her mouth. Her aged hand patted the bed.

“Come out now.”
