Ready to Rule The Real Heiress Strikes Back (Lydia and Connor) novel Chapter 193
Lucinda’s face was tight with worry, her eyes red and puffy from crying.
Cameron and Kylie were caught off guard by her sudden outburst. They figured she was just overwhelmed and speaking out of panic. Cameron tried to calm her down. “Lucinda, we know how worried you are about Grandpa, but this isn’t your sister’s fault. We talked to the doctor before we left last night. He said Grandpa was stable, all his vitals looked good, and his wound was healing. The doctor checked again this morning at seven and said everything was still normal. It’s just…”
Kylie paused, her words hanging in the air.
That morning, they’d arrived at the hospital later than they meant to. As they reached the door, Lucinda’s terrified screams echoed from inside. They rushed in and saw Grandpa coughing up blood, the scene so shocking it left them frozen with fear.
The caregiver wasn’t there. It was just Lucinda in the room with him.
Lucinda wiped at her tears, her voice trembling. “Mom, I was the only one with Grandpa. I fed him breakfast and he was fine. Then I started peeling him an apple and, halfway through, his face went white and he just started throwing up blood. I didn’t know what to do. I was so scared.
“If it wasn’t because of the surgery, then what was it? Are you saying I didn’t take good enough care of him?”
Her words were thick with tears and frustration, her whole body shaking with emotion.
Kylie’s tone softened. “Lucinda, no one is blaming you. I just meant something must have caused this, but we don’t know what yet. Let’s wait until Dr. Hady and the others come and explain, okay?”
Lydia’s voice rang out, calm and almost cold. “A post-surgery blood vessel rupture can definitely happen if the sutures weren’t done right.”
Her tone made it clear she thought everything was Lydia’s fault, and that Lydia didn’t even care enough to feel guilty.
Cameron stepped in, gently but firmly. “Lucinda, take a breath. Let your sister finish what she was saying.”
Lucinda turned away, looking smaller than ever, her voice cracking. “Dad, I’m done talking. It doesn’t matter what I say. You’re always going to believe her over me.”
Kylie’s heart ached at the sight. She reached for Lucinda, speaking softly. “Lucinda, that’s not true. Please, don’t misunderstand us. We love you, and we aren’t picking sides.”

Olha a história bem boa só algumas coisas são chatas ( nesse tipo de história sempre troca as filhas pela a da empregada ou então pegam uma menina pra criar) pelo menos eles tratam a filha bem só enche o saco que até agora a Lucinda tá lá enchendo ! Fora isso tá bom Connor é um fofo a família dela a ama muito só Lucinda pra abaixar o nível do livro já era pra ter resolvido isso e fazer ela pagar mais tudo bem li um livro chinês que era parecido só algumas coisas diferentes ,ais mesma coisa tipo ela salvou o Connor no início lá ela salvava o avô dele , no chinês ela não tinha um irmão mais novo com os pais adotivos , a mãe dela tinha 2 irmãos e todos os avós estavam vivos mais história quase igual e tem coisas tipo o triângulo que lá TB tinha até a Lucinda que no chines TB ficou o livro todo aprontando só no final a família descobria e se livrava dela aí ela ia morar com o cara que ela usa pra disfarçar que não gosta do Connor aí depois ainda quase matava a irmã dele e a mãe dele que ele via como ela era...

Every chapter is missing a sentence from the end of every chapter. It’s frustrating to try guess what’s missing or said...
