The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 573

"Goodness, Deanna, what is going on with you?" Eleanor frowns. "This is the fourth time you've broken something lately. You can't even hold a cup steady."

Recently, Deanna has been exceptionally clumsy, constantly knocking things over as if her mind is entirely elsewhere.

"How are you this careless? Have you been spending too much time playing poker and neglecting your gym session?"

Facing her mother-in-law's sharp criticism, Deanna flusters and quickly defends herself. "I don't play poker that often! And I do yoga and swim every day. I must just be a little tired."

Privately, she finds it strange too. Lately, she experiences sudden bouts of weakness where she just can't hold onto objects. But she gets a comprehensive physical exam three times a year, and the doctors always tell her she is perfectly fine. Aside from minor ailments, her health markers are exceptional.

"You aren't lacking exercise," Tara says smoothly, having watched the entire sequence of events. "I suggest you book an appointment with a neurology department for a thorough screening."

"What are you talking about?" Deanna snaps. "Why would I need to see a neurologist when I'm perfectly fine?"

"You have drooping eyelids, easily fatigue, and frequently lose your grip on objects. Medically, these are early signs of myasthenia," Tara states with clinical detachment. "Get a detailed neurological exam. You don’t have to listen to me. It's entirely up to you."

Tara isn't the type to stick her nose in other people's business. She only offered the advice out of a lingering, microscopic sense of obligation because Deanna gave birth to her.

"Are you cursing me with a disease?" Deanna's voice rises sharply, her face twisting with disbelief and sheer annoyance. "I get a physical every year! I know my own body!"
