The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1736

The following morning, Jaime found himself back at the hospital, this time with a posse of elders from the Davis family in tow. Word had only just reached these elders about Keir’s grave condition, and the urgency of the situation had them rushing over without a moment's delay.
