The Heiress’ Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call (Wynter Quinnell) novel Chapter 287

Elliot drew a deep breath as he lay in the intensive care unit of Havenlight Hospital.

It seemed as if he was the only person in the world who had yet to meet Wynter, his long-lost sister. Everyone else had already met her, as far as he knew.

He glanced at Ryan despondently. "Hey, Mr. Lloyd. Shouldn't Grandpa at least bring Wynter here to visit me?"

"Mr. Quinnell did come by, but you were asleep," Ryan said as he peeled an apple for Elliot. "Alexis told me Wynter's been taking care of Mr. Quinnell after his condition relapsed."

Elliot had a deadpan look as his gaze flickered down to his bandaged shoulder. "I need someone to take care of me too."

"Mr. Elliot," Ryan chided quietly with a smile. "Your grandfather has finally reunited with Ms. Quinnell. I'm sure he'll remember you after a few days and come to visit you. Just be patient."

Elliot chuckled. "I guess Grandpa hasn't changed at all."

Ryan grinned and made no reply.

"Well, that's probably for the best," Elliot said with approval. "At least then everybody will know who's the real heiress of the Quinnell family."

Hearing this, Ryan handed Elliot the freshly peeled apple and explained, "The thing is, your father called Mr. Quinnell this morning and suggested that the Quinnells hold a family meeting.

"He plans to formally adopt Ms. Naomi, and you can imagine how furious your grandfather is about that."

Elliot frowned at this as emotions flickered in his eyes. "Why is Dad even considering adopting Naomi? Doesn't he know Wynter has been…"

Ryan quickly motioned for Elliot to keep his voice down. "Mr. Quinnell didn't tell your father that Ms. Quinnell has been found."

Most of the Quinnells were sharp and intuitive, not airheads. Elliot understood at once the implication behind Ryan's words.

"Is there something bothering Grandpa?" Elliot guessed.
