The Heiress’ Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call (Wynter Quinnell) novel Chapter 1150

"Seeing how well she's doing now makes me really happy," Margaret remarked as she set aside the hand fan on the table. After swallowing a pill, her breathing finally steadied.

Dalton gazed at her calmly, as if he had expected her deteriorating health.

Unlike Wynter, he saw beyond the truth. However, he would never reveal those secrets to anyone. The best Dalton could do was offer his advice.

"Are you going to tell her about your health?" he inquired.

"And keep her worrying about a dying old woman? Oh, no. Now that she has taken over the Quinnell family, her employees are counting on her for their livelihood.

"The last time I visited, she was sleeping in the chair. She's just anxious about me, though I have no idea why," Margaret replied with a dismissive wave.

With a faint smile and downcast eyes, Margaret continued, "I'm sure you're aware of the situation in the Yates family.

"Back then, I could hardly survive in Southdale. Everyone was calling me a murderer and a vicious mother-in-law.

"However, Wynter stayed by my side without any complaints. Thanks to her, I managed to pull myself together and reopen my clinic in Kingbourne."

As she refilled Dalton's cup, Margaret stated firmly, "I won't cause any trouble for Wynter. However, I hope you'll watch out for her when I'm gone, Earnest.

"Though she seems indifferent, she's quite sentimental. That said, I really hope to live long enough to see Wolf in school."

Dalton placed his hand on Margaret's and comforted her. "Rest assured, you still have two years ahead."

Their conversation went unheard by Wynter, who was asking Whitley about his unusual behavior.
