His Housewife Had Secret Identities novel Chapter 674

"Grandpa was the one who called me here. Why isn't he down for dinner?"

"Because…" Niamh watched as Marigold hesitated.

"The old master is taking care of Jonathan," Lucy answered. Although Lucy didn't look pleased to see Niamh, she no longer dared to order her around like before.

"Jonathan is here?" Niamh was very surprised. The last time she saw him on the beach in Coralis, he had collapsed into the ocean, and it was Niamh who had dragged him ashore. She had called for an ambulance and also phoned Prescott, who had arrived even before the paramedics. Once Prescott was there, Niamh had left Jonathan in his care and walked away. Prescott had asked her to stay, but she refused. With him there, Jonathan would be fine. Afterward, she had gone with her bodyguards to The Quinn Group to finalize the paperwork and then returned to Aldenville. She didn't know what happened to Jonathan after that, nor had she wanted to know.

Niamh silently took a sip of the rich consommé. It should have been delicious, but she couldn't taste a thing.

"Nia, Jonathan… he's sick."

Niamh's fingers tightened around her spoon. "Then he should be in a hospital."

"Jonathan's illness… the doctors say it can't be cured. It's a sickness of the heart," Sprague said gravely, watching her closely.

Niamh put down her spoon. Now she finally understood the reason for their one-hundred-and-eighty-degree shift in attitude.

From the moment Jonathan's name was mentioned, Sprague had been observing Niamh's reaction. She appeared cold and indifferent, but her eyes couldn't hide the turmoil within. With the recent upheaval in Coralis, Ramona had become the new head of all companies under The Quinn Group. Sprague still believed Ramona was the most suitable wife for Jonathan, but Ramona now seemed to view the Thomas family as a business rival. Not only had The Thomas Group been excluded from the transnational railway project, but their other ventures were also facing obstruction from The Quinn Group. Sprague sighed. A marriage alliance with Ramona was now just a pipe dream. And then there was Jonathan's own attitude…
