Grady's heart, which had been teetering on the edge, found its anchor the moment it locked onto Mirabella's eyes. He recalled how Mr. Nick had struggled with severe insomnia following a kidnapping, only to be cured by Miss Mira's touch. And the last time Nick found himself in a tight spot, she was the one who pulled him back from the brink.
Just then, Mirabella's voice cut through his thoughts. "Even if my skills fall short, there's definitely someone who can help," she said with a knowing smile.
"Someone else?" Grady asked, momentarily caught off guard. "Who?"
Mirabella's smile turned mysterious. "Only a heart can heal another heart's wounds."
A remedy from the heart... Grady was taken aback. Keir's heartache was Nellie, but Nellie had been gone for some time. Grady glanced at Mirabella, a suspicion lingering in his mind—how could she possibly know about Nellie?
**Meanwhile,**
Jim watched as the butler ushered in two guests, his expression stern, exuding the authority of a true patriarch. Beside him stood a trusted confidant, ever watchful for his safety. Asa gave Jim a slight nod. "Mr. Davis."
The middle-aged man beside Asa offered a polite nod as well. Jim, seated at the head of the table, waved a hand dismissively. "Let's skip the small talk. Get to the point."
It was Asa's first face-to-face with the head of the Davis family. Unfazed by Jim's chilly demeanor, Asa offered a polite smile. "I've heard you're looking for someone, Mr. Davis. Maybe I can help."
