The Real Heiress Rules the World (Sloane Rivers) novel Chapter 508

**Chapter 508: The Only Family**

“I’ll go back immediately.” His tone was eerily composed, yet Sloane couldn’t help but notice the slight tremor in his other hand, a telltale sign of the storm brewing beneath his calm exterior.

Once the call ended, they sprang into action, urgency propelling them forward.

“I’ll go with you.” Beth, her resolve firm, entrusted the company’s affairs to Tony and made the decision to return home alongside them.

That night, Sloane and Lucas boarded the plane, the weight of anxiety palpable in the air. Lucas maintained an outward appearance of serenity, but Sloane could sense the tension coiling in his muscles, the uneven rhythm of his breath betraying his inner turmoil.

With a gentle touch, she reached for his hand, her fingers brushing against his palm, which felt chillingly cold.

“Grandma will be fine,” she reassured him, leaning her head against his shoulder, her fingers gliding over his furrowed brow in a soothing motion. “The director and Benjamin are both there, and we’re hurrying back as fast as we can. Everything will be okay.”

Suddenly, Lucas pulled her closer, his chin resting atop her head, a protective gesture that spoke volumes. “Grandma is my only family,” he murmured, his voice thick with emotion, raw and hoarse.

Sloane tightened her embrace around him, wanting him to feel her unwavering support, her presence a steady anchor in the tempest of his fears.

When the plane finally touched down, the moment they stepped out, Samson rushed toward them, his face a mixture of relief and concern. “You’re finally back!” he exclaimed, his eyes darting to Lucas with an urgency that made Sloane’s heart race.

“How is my grandma?” Lucas’s voice was edged with anxiety, his gaze fixed intently on Samson.
