The Heiress’ Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call (Wynter Quinnell) novel Chapter 316

Chapter 316 Toxins

Shane bristled and made to argue further. Fabian, however, was in

such a rage that his chest tightened. His breath came up short, and

when Shane drew near him, he broke into a violent coughing fit.

Shane hadn’t come to rouse Fabian’s temper. He was just about to

rub Fabian’s back to soothe the coughing when the latter suddenly

coughed up blood.

A spray of crimson landed on Shane’s shirt. “Dad!” he cried in alarm. ”

Dad, what’s wrong?”

“Get out,” Fabian rasped.

Just then, Alexis walked into the living room, saying, “Mr. Quinnell

Senior, I have Ms. Quinnell on the phone. She’s on the highway now

and will be arriving in Kingbourne this afternoon. Do you want to… Mr

Quinnell Senior!”

Alexis’ smile was replaced by a look of horror when he saw Fabian’s

ghastly state, and his voice filled with panic.

It was only then that Fabian seemingly caught his breath. “S- She’s on

the phone? Quick, hand it to me!”

“But, Mr. Quinnell Senior, your cough…” Alexis hesitated.

Wynter had heard everything on the other line. Frowning, she asked, ”

“I’m fine, little princess. Alexis is just being dramatic,” Fabian lied to

keep her from worrying.

He tried to keep his breath steady as he continued, “Is there anything you and your grandmother would like for lunch? I’ll have the chef make whatever you want. Why don’t you stay here for the night?”

Wynter had always been perceptive. So when she heard Fabian

rasping on the other line, she asked gravely, “Grandpa, turn on the

camera.”

“I’m fine,” Fabian insisted. “Trust me little princess.”

As he said this, he waved his hand, motioning for Alexis to get Shane

out of the house.

Shane heard the female voice speaking on the other line that supposedly belonged to his long-lost daughter.

He leaned forward, but just as he was about to say something, Alexis clamped a hand over his m*uth and dragged him out of the room.

Fabian didn’t want Wynter to find out about the nonsense her

incompetent father had spewed.

Alas, Wynter sensed there was something off on Fabian’s end.”

Grandpa, is somebody there with you?”
