The Secret Heir Return To Wealth And Love

When he woke up, he was still weak, spending a week in the ICU before moving to the step-down unit. Only recently had he been transferred to a regular room.

Felix had been to visit him.

The guy seemed to have bounced back to life with a vengeance.

Suffering from a serious case of test-induced nausea, Felix had to call in the big guns. And those big guns went by the name of Cory, who had Felix scribble a few words, then fed them into a machine that analyzed his handwriting in no time flat.

After a while, the test papers were rolling out of the printer, with Felix's notes scrawled across them in a most ungraceful manner.

"Young master, you're a miracle worker!" Felix was all but ready to prostrate himself in gratitude.d2

Molly glanced at Cory.

Cory, puzzled by her intense gaze, met it with a question in his eyes, "?"

"What's the deal with this setup?" Molly asked, "It's not right to do your homework this way."

Cory was speechless.

"This is a new module developed by Bane Corporation Al," Cory explained, "still in the testing phase."

"Oh," Molly nodded, adding a quick "Thanks."

Then she dragged a profusely thankful Felix away.

Rosalynn patted her son's head gently, "Molly means no harm."

Cory nodded, silently packing up his gear, "But we do have to be careful with this module. Using it for forgery or laziness could lead to trouble."

"Then think of a way to avoid these issues," Rosalynn said softly.

"Okay," Cory murmured in agreement before bidding his great-grandmother and mother goodnight, then trudging upstairs.

Hilaria watched his small yet strangely mature silhouette disappear.

"What do you think our little one will be like when he grows up?" she asked wistfully.

She could picture her beloved Ivy all grown up, but not him. She doubted she would live to see that day.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

The thought always brought a mix of sadness and regret.

"He's definitely going to be handsome," quipped Rosalynn, a tad superficially.

"What's the use of good looks? Just look at Jaime Jules. Isn't he handsome?" Hilaria sighed, empathizing with Dana, who worried about her Evan's marital prospects. Calvin was content with his farm at his age, with no desire for romance!

Calvin might be plain-looking, but Jaime was a different story. About to turn 25, then in the blink of an eye, 30.

So good-looking, yet still single!

"Our little Cory isn't as outgoing as Jaime!" The more Hilaria thought, the more worried she became, "I think Trista might be his last chance!"

"I think so too!" Paige popped up out of nowhere, startling both Hilaria and Rosalynn.

"You two are on the same page!" Rosalynn shook her head, amused.

Other kids their age were a headache for their parents about schoolwork.

But Cory... His grades were impeccable, and he even had his own business at such a young age.

The adults had nothing to worry about. So they started fretting over his love life way ahead of time.

That evening, Rosalynn told Penn about this, asking him to pass the word to Wayne. She wanted him to know just how funny things were getting at home, with both the old and the young.
