Chapter 9 - The Maid’s Secret Past As A Corporate Heir
While the police transport vehicle drove Serena away toward the county jail, I sat beside Ethan’s hospital bed in Chicago.
Dr. Reed entered the intensive care unit quietly, holding a confidential medical file alongside a sealed legal envelope.
“Ethan’s surgery went smoothly, Clara,” Dr. Reed said softly, offering a reassuring smile as he checked the heart monitor.
“He’s going to make a full recovery, though he’ll need a cast on his arm for the next six weeks.”
I breathed a profound sigh of relief, brushing a stray lock of dark hair from my sleeping son’s pale forehead.
“Thank you, Doctor... I don't know how I can ever repay you for keeping our identities hidden all this time,” I whispered.

Dr. Reed placed the legal envelope on the bedside table, his expression turning serious as he looked down at me.
“It’s time to stop hiding, Clara Vance,” he said firmly. “Your father’s corporate empire in New York is waiting for its true heir.”
