Heiress Returns Family Shocks (Nina Swanson) novel Chapter 296

Chapter 296

Nina took a few hours to rest.

:

Nina didn’t bother herself with whatever the Swanson family was plotting.

In the afternoon, she went to the villa next door to check on Loren.

Miranda and Philip were both there.

When Nina went to Betrico, Philip was staying at a hotel.

Since Loren and Paul were old friends, once the villa was ready, Loren let Philip move in, too.

As for Miranda, she herself had asked to stay with Loren.

She’d grown up missing out on family love, and in the Hawthorne family, Edward was the only one who ever really cared about her.

Now that she had Loren in her life, and with his health not being great, she just wanted to be there for him and take care of him as much as she could.

Loren was over the moon about Miranda moving in with him.

Of course, he was eager to spend more time with his granddaughter and get to know her better.

Plus, in a few days, his wife would be coming over, too, and she couldn’t wait to finally meet Miranda.

After giving Loren a check-up, Nina jotted down a prescription while saying to him, “Your recovery is going pretty well. You can stop taking the old meds now. Just keep up with this new prescription to maintain your health.”

She finished writing and passed the prescription to Loren.

Loren took the prescription from Nina, feeling a rush of emotion. “I honestly have no idea why I’m so lucky to have a daughter like Shirley.

“I never got to raise her myself, not even for a day, but somehow, all that good karma still came back to me through her.”

Nina chuckled, teasing him, “Wait till you meet Scarlet, then you might change your mind about that.”

They say kids always take after their parents, but Nina was nothing like anyone else in the Swanson family. If anything, she was a spitting image of Scarlet.

In fact, plenty of people who didn’t know the real story thought Nina and Scarlet were actually sisters by blood.

Loren laughed, “I saw it right away. Back when I met you at the Gemstone Exchange, I figured Shirley must have the same fire in her as you.

“People might think, since I never got to raise her, she’d be nothing like me. But honestly, she’s just like I was when I was young.

“It’s just a shame I can’t see her.

“Nina, tell me the truth. Is Shirley really going to be okay?” Loren asked after a moment.

Nina fell silent.

There’s definitely danger involved.

It’s just a question of how bad things could get.

She was feeling pretty restless, but Scarlet had forbidden her from digging deeper, so her hands were tied.

If she made a move and screwed up Scarlet’s plans, Scarlet would be the one in real trouble.

After a moment of silence, Nina said, “Loren, with what I can do, keeping you and Miranda safe is easy. But the Hawthorne family has dozens of people. There’s no way I can look after all of them.

“As for what Scarlet has involved in, I can’t go into details, but you can probably guess. It’s dangerous. Honestly, there’s a real possibility you may never get to see her again.”

Nina couldn’t have made it any clearer.

Loren’s heart clenched, and his eyes welled up. “I figured as much. Back when the Carroll family’s bodyguards had that incident at your place, I started to realize Shirley wasn’t just any ordinary girl.

“And with some of the things you’ve done lately, it just confirmed it for me. You two are serving the country, right? Whether it’s her or you, you’re both walking a razor’s edge every single day. I understand, I really do.

“Don’t worry. Starting today, the Carroll family will be spreading our business nationwide quickly. I’ll personally pick out the best bodyguards to keep everyone safe. Until Shirley comes back, we’ll all be on our toes. No one’s going to hold her back. As for Miranda…

“I know you’ll take care of her,” He glanced at Miranda and said.

Nina nodded. “Starting today, Miranda and Philip will be training with me. I’ll pass on every skill I’ve got to them.”

Loren said, “I was planning to stick around a bit longer, at least until my wife shows up, so she can finally meet Miranda.

“But after what you just told me, I don’t think I can stay in Riverdale any longer. I need to head back and track down whoever snatched Shirley all those years ago.”

“No! You have to stay in Riverdale,” Nina said, her face turning serious.
