The Second Life of a Discarded Heiress novel Chapter 640

Later, she refused to help the old man recover, nor would she agree to send him to Viridis Medical Institute. All of this was because she had memories from her previous life—she remembered how he had once forced her to give up her kidney for Jeanette. That must be the reason, right?

Sawyer nodded. “Yes. She hates us—hates every single member of the Iverson family. That’s why she doesn’t want to save the old man.”

Norton and Clifford stood frozen, unable to speak for a long time.

Sawyer looked at them and let out a long sigh. “We’ve wronged Citrine. She did nothing wrong. Every one of us in the Iverson family has guilt on our hands.”

Norton and Clifford could only agree with him.

Over the next few days, Hastings and Theo used all their old connections to find out how Citrine was doing. When they learned that she was finally out of danger, both men breathed a sigh of relief.

After more than two months in the hospital, Citrine’s health indicators finally returned to normal, and she was discharged that very day.

This ordeal completely erased the distance that had once existed between Citrine, Raymond, and Hilda. After spending two months together, she had grown much closer to both of them.

But when it was time to leave the hospital, a new conflict flared up between Raymond and Hilda.

Both parents wanted their daughter to come home with them, and they argued nearly the entire morning about it. In the end, Citrine, unable to stand it any longer, suggested she simply take turns staying at each house.

The first month was set to be with the Carmichaels. On the day Citrine was to leave the hospital, the Carmichael family had their car ready and waiting. But just as Citrine finished her discharge paperwork, news arrived: the Carmichaels’ overseas business had hit a snag, and Raymond had to fly out of the country immediately.

He’d looked forward to having his daughter home at last, hoping to spend time with her after all she’d been through. Now, with work emergencies pulling him away, he felt a pang of guilt. “I’m so sorry, Citrine. Something’s come up with the business abroad, and I have to be away for a while.”

Of course, Raymond saw right through her. He gave her a wry smile but let it go without comment.

Before he left, Raymond made sure to remind Hilda about all of Citrine’s habits and preferences, especially when it came to meals and daily routines. Only after carefully going through everything did he reluctantly take his leave.

Hilda was practically glowing with happiness as she brought her daughter back to Saunders Mansion.

Monica and Wade could hardly contain their excitement.

Not only did this mean they could finally spend time with their sister, but there was another reason for their joy: with Citrine at home, someone could finally keep their aunt in check. Maybe, just maybe, she wouldn’t be so unpredictable and overbearing anymore.

They could hardly imagine how much happier life at home was about to become.
