The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1393

No one could ever replace Melissa!

Not even Claire could fill that specific void!

What gave Tiffany the audacity to think Yolande could?

"Padgett, let me check your vitals and see how you're holding up," Claire requested.

Though Padgett felt perfectly fine, he wasn't about to refuse his granddaughter's sudden medical check.

"Alright, go ahead."

"But if you find anything wrong, don't sugarcoat it."

He had made peace with his mortality long ago.

Aside from the agonizing mystery of his missing daughter, his life had been incredibly fulfilling.

"I would never hide anything from you," Claire promised.

She checked his vitals, maintaining a perfectly neutral expression.

Padgett watched her with deep admiration.

Her ability to stay utterly composed under pressure proved she was destined for greatness.

Honestly, Dane was getting too good of a deal with her.

"Your vitals are incredibly strong," Claire announced. "Since you started taking my custom supplements, your overall health has actually improved."

"Padgett, I have even better news for you."

Padgett let out a subtle sigh of relief upon hearing he was healthy.

He had been slightly worried her expert check might catch a hidden illness the hospital missed.

He felt robust enough to stick around until Melissa finally walked through the front door.

Wherever she was out there.

"What kind of news?" Padgett asked, leaning in with keen interest.

"I found a lead on my parents."

Claire didn't hold back, detailing her recent harrowing experience in Apex.

While Padgett was thrilled at the prospect of finding his daughter, his expression quickly morphed into a stern frown at the danger Claire had faced.

"Finding them is crucial, but not at the cost of your own life," he scolded gently.
