Chapter 733

Norah’s heart sank at Cooper’s question. The nurse’s cart, the report on Pharaoh’s table—it all pointed to something serious. She forced a smile.

“Grandpa’s just getting a checkup. Don’t worry, okay?”

Cooper nodded, but he was clearly still curious. Norah brought both kids into the room, trying to calm her racing thoughts. Pharaoh’s odd behavior on the phone, avoiding Reina, and now this hospital stay? He was definitely hiding something.

Pharaoh’s face lit up when he saw them. “My little treasures!” he beamed.

Cooper ran to him and climbed into the bed for a hug. Reina reached out from Norah’s arms, and Pharaoh gently took her, kissing her chubby cheeks.

“Look at this chunky girl,” he said with a soft smile.
