The Heiress’ Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call (Wynter Quinnell) novel Chapter 1253

As the sun set behind the Whitman residence, the Frendan-style door creaked open to reveal a cozy study.

Exotic decorations aligned neatly on the embroidered tablecloth, and the wall lights were ingeniously arranged in various corners.

Yet, all Wynter could sense was the air of lethargy that enveloped the room. Despite the faint aroma of rose lingering, the poor air circulation had left the room feeling musty and uncomfortable.

Suddenly, Wynter heard a violent cough that left the person gasping for air. Clearly, their respiratory systems had been infected.

Wynter doubted she could manage an examination on Reuben, her grandfather whom she had never met.

Once a powerful and influential figure in the business community, he was reduced to a sickly old man dependent on others' care.

Wynter knew she needed to check Reuben's pulse before determining his fate.

She had left Wolf behind, fearing his hostile aura would worsen Reuben's health. Plus, she could tell that Reuben had been suffering from his illness for a long time.

While cancer itself wasn't the most frightening aspect, its potential to spread and metastasize was concerning.

At the sound of the movement, Reuben forcibly suppressed his coughs and inquired, "What's the matter?"

"The doctor is here for your routine checkup, Mr. Reuben. They'll also be refilling the medications for your nebulizer," Jesslyn replied respectfully. Her conduct remained impeccably professional in front of her employer.

Unbeknownst to Jesslyn, Wynter had secretly examined her as well. However, she found no traces of suspicious fragrances and medications on Jesslyn.
