Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 1118

Lydia was supposed to leave for school first thing in the morning, but with everything going on at home, she just couldn’t relax. Sitting at her desk, she stared at her computer and tried to figure out exactly when her grandfather’s personality had changed. After thinking it through, she realized it must have started after his fall. He went to the hospital, and when he came back, he just wasn’t the same.

She wasn’t the only one who’d noticed. Her parents and even the house staff had picked up on it too. The old man’s temper was different these days. Sure, when she first got back, his mood was already a little off, and he’d been super protective of Lucinda, just like now, but it still felt strange, like there was something she was missing.

At dinner tonight, she’d paid extra attention to his wrist, looking for anything that might be hiding something, but there was nothing there. Still, she couldn’t rule out the idea that he might be using fake skin to cover something up higher on his arm.

With that thought, she put her hands on the keyboard and got to work. If everything changed after his hospital stay, then that’s where she needed to start digging. In just a few minutes, lines of code flew across her screen as she hacked into the hospital’s surveillance system and pulled up footage from her grandfather’s room.

She hovered over the keyboard, watching as the timeline jumped to the night before he was discharged. Everything looked normal at first. Her grandfather was lying quietly in bed, the monitors blinking beside him. Lucinda was asleep on the cot next to him. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary.

Lydia frowned and skipped ahead in the video. At two in the morning, the screen suddenly went black. The whole room disappeared into darkness. It wasn’t just her grandfather’s room, either. All the hospital cameras were down. So the entire building lost power?

She did a quick search online and found that, sure enough, there was a record of a power outage in that section of the hospital around two in the morning. The official report blamed a problem with the transformer, and the power was back after three minutes. Most people were asleep at that hour, and with the outage being so brief, only the hospital staff on duty seemed to know about it.
