Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 26
Lydia let out a helpless little laugh. “Come in.”
Once she gave the okay, her parents pushed open the door. The moment they saw Lydia sitting there, cleaning her own wound with disinfectant, they rushed over, worry written all over their faces.
“Lydia, does it hurt? Why don’t we take you to the hospital?” her dad asked, his voice full of concern.
“It’s fine. I’ll just put some medicine on it,” Lydia replied, brushing it off like it was nothing.
“But… but the cut is so deep. What if it leaves a scar?” Kylie’s voice trembled a little as she gently lifted Lydia’s injured hand.
Her hand was slender and soft, with graceful lines and perfectly shaped nails that looked like tiny pearls. Kylie’s heart ached at the thought of such a beautiful hand being scarred. If that happened, her sweet girl would be devastated, and as her mom, she couldn’t stand the idea either.
If it had been Lucinda, she would have made a huge fuss over even the tiniest scratch and insisted on seeing a doctor right away.
“Really, it’s not a big deal. There’s ointment for cuts in here.” Lydia picked up a tube from the first aid kit.
“But I just don’t want you to get a scar, honey.”
“It’ll be fine, really,” Lydia reassured her.
She was a doctor herself, after all. For her, a cut like this definitely wasn’t worth a trip to the hospital.
Cameron and Kylie exchanged a look, thinking maybe Lydia was still upset. They couldn’t really blame her, considering what had just happened was clearly Mr. Norwood’s and Lucinda’s fault.
“I’m sorry, Lydia,” Kylie said softly. “I know I should’ve made Lucinda keep her promise, but I was scared of upsetting your grandpa again. He hasn’t slept well for days ever since he found out Lucinda isn’t really his granddaughter. He still can’t accept it.”
Earlier, when she’d watched Lydia perform acupuncture on Grandpa, she’d been reminded so much of Garrett. There was no doubt Lydia was her daughter.
Lydia paused, then answered, “Grandma taught me.”
Cameron’s eyes widened. “I never knew Mrs. Smith had those skills. But honestly, you’re amazing, Lydia. Your mom and I are so proud of you. If it weren’t for you today, your grandpa could have been in real danger.”
Lydia just smiled, calm and cool. “Thank you.”
“You’ve been busy all morning. You haven’t even had breakfast, have you? Come downstairs and eat with us,” Kylie coaxed.
“I’m not hungry,” Lydia said softly. She really didn’t have any appetite.

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...
