Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 636

When Connor saw Nathaniel grab Lydia by the wrist and march off with her, his expression darkened instantly.

Elliot caught the look and dropped the jokes. “Seriously? Jealous over your own family? Come on, let’s go see what’s going on.”

Connor kept quiet and followed them, his strides long and quick.

Nathaniel’s mom, Mabel, had been living with asthma since birth. She’d seen every famous doctor, both local and international, but the best she could hope for was a few good days here and there. The attacks never really stopped.

Back when she was younger, her body could handle more, but age had caught up with her. Now, even a little stress or excitement could set her off. Spicy food was out of the question. She’d been busy lately, barely resting, and the muggy weather just made things worse. So when the attack hit her at work, it hit hard.

Nathaniel dragged Lydia into the room, and the first thing they saw was Mabel, crouched on the floor, clutching her chest. Her mouth hung open as she fought for every breath, lips turning bluish-purple. Her face was drained of color, and every inhale sounded desperate, her features twisted with the effort.

Nathaniel let go of Lydia and rushed to his mom, gathering her in his arms. “Mom! Hey, Mom, are you okay?”

Mabel was in too much pain to speak, but she shook her head at him, trying to soothe his panic.

Lydia stepped up right away, her voice clear and cool. “Move.”

Nathaniel looked terrified, his face pale. He remembered the last time his mom had an attack like this. She’d almost died, and her lips had turned that same scary color.

“Are you… are you sure you know what to do?”
