Chapter 367 Unusual Sleep

While Wynter was still lost in thought, Marie had been sleeping since she returned to the hotel.

Shane had confiscated her phone and placed it aside after muting it. Although he held contempt for the fake heiress attempting to deceive his wife, he wasn't so crude as to inspect Marie's phone.

Observing Marie's peaceful slumber on the bed, Shane signed softly.” Why are you so soft-hearted?”

Concerned about the possibility of her overdosing, Shane called the family doctor to come over to check on the medication dosage.

The doctor shook his head, reassuring him, “Everything is fine, Mr. Quinnell. Mrs. Quinnell hardly slept since her episode two days ago, so her physical strength is quite depleted. That's why she’s sleeping

so deeply.”

Shan breathed a sigh of relief. “That's good to hear.”

“You're truly a devoted husband, Mr. Quinnell,” the doctor said, his tone tinged with envy. “I'll prepare some nutritional supplements for Mrs. Quinnell to receive intravenously.”

Shane nodded. Before heading to work, he lit a medicinal incense in the room. Even though he couldn't take time off work at the moment, he decided to arrange for Yvette to examine Marie the following day

as a precaution.

As Shane pondered, thoughts of Fabian's recent unusual behavior crossed his mind.

Upon arriving at the company, he headed straight to Fabian’s office to confront him.

“Dad, you can't just keep Sevie hidden from us. What's your plan?” Shane questioned.

“When the time is right, you'll meet her,” Fabian replied calmly. “Since Sevie is returning to the Quinnell family, we can't take it lightly. We need to gather all her brothers and your in-laws as well.”

Shan was taken aback. “My in-laws?"

“Of course!” Fabian retorted. “What's the matter? Worried they might bite you?"

Shane let out a sigh. “Dad, why do you always push me like this? Aren't you upset when my in-laws disrespect me?”

“If you were my son-in-law, I'd probably treat you the same as them, Fabian remarked.

Tapping his cane on the ground, he continued, “My daughter-in-law is flawless, whereas you-Just stay out of our sight, will you? Come see me when you've figured things out and stop bringing up that adoption matter.”

Shane hung his head in despair, feeling isolated as no one in the family seemed to understand him. Even his sons ignored his messages.

On the contrary, Shane's uncle, Declan Quinnell, seemed to empathize with him, often advising him not to take it to heart.

Despite Declan’s advice, Shane couldn't help but feel angry.

“Uncle Declan, do you think it's right to kick Naomi out of the Quinnell family like this? She's just a college student. We can't just cast her aside like that.”

“Your father probably worries that Sevie would be upset when she sees Naomi,” replied Declan, Fabian’s cousin and the Quinnell family’s eldest member.

Shane smiled wryly. “Sevie has been away from home for so many years. During her absence, Naomi was the one who brought a brief moment of peace to the family.

“I'm sure Sevie will understand when she returns. We'll explain everything to her.”

“I see your point, but your father sees it differently,” Declan said, taking a sip of tea. “Be patient, Shane. Let's wait until we meet Sevie.” Shan glanced at Naomi, who was admiring antiques in the living room. “Naomi's such a dear, I don't understand why my father disapproves of her.

“She carefully selected a set of antiques for him, but he rejected them all. Poor Naomi. She's just trying to be a thoughtful granddaughter,” Shane said sympathetically, unaware of the contradiction in his words.

Declan stroked his beard. “We still have plenty of time ahead of us, so there’s no need to rush.”

Meanwhile, Naomi, overhearing their conversation, couldn't help but feel jealous. She knew Fabian planned to gather all the Quinnell brothers to welcome Sevie.

Even after all her years with the Quinnells, she had never received such treatment.

It was evident that the Quinnells favored the blood-related heiress more than her.
