The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1747

Congenital heart disease. From the moment she was born, the family refused to give up on her.

Logan practically worked his arms to the bone tossing his wok, just to scrape together every extra cent.

The reason he didn't open for dinner was because he needed to sleep. If he exhausted himself and ended up in the hospital, both he and the kid would suffer.

"Logan's daughter-in-law is truly heartless. She just abandoned her own flesh and blood without a second thought."

"Her husband died in the line of duty, she ran off, and left a sick little girl behind. Logan and his wife have had it incredibly rough."

"Thank god his niece is a good person and helps take care of the kid."

The two old men kept chatting casually.

Claire continued eating, but she was listening intently.

Hearing their conversation, her eyes instinctively drifted toward the little girl near the door.

She was extremely skinny, looking quiet and well-behaved.

She was currently helping sort vegetables.

"I'll be right back, Claire."

Mary had eaten enough. She stood up and walked over to the little girl.

She crouched down, whispered a few words to her, and then waved Claire over.

"Come here and check her pulse, Claire."

Hearing that, Claire walked over.

When the two old men saw Claire reaching for the girl's wrist, they immediately intervened. "Hey, what are you doing?"

"This is Logan's granddaughter. He's too busy to watch her, but she's a good kid."

"Don't you go bullying her!"

Claire had already finished checking the pulse. "We aren't doing anything, sir. We're medical students, and this is our professor."

"The kid doesn't look too healthy, so my professor wanted me to examine her as a quick practical lesson." Claire spun the lie flawlessly.

Hearing that, the two old men scrutinized the three of them closely.
