The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 413

Two days later.

Dorian's company had finalized their new perfume line, and Vivienne found herself with some free time to visit the hospital.

Anna had already returned to school, but Natalia and Yasmine were still hospitalized, though they had been moved from intensive care to a regular VIP ward.

Jasper sat beside the crib with two plush toys in hand, smiling at the sight of his granddaughters' joyful faces, an involuntary chuckle escaping his lips. Vivienne knocked on the door. "Excuse me, sir."

Jasper's face lit up with excitement. "Ah, young lady, you've finally made it. I was beginning to think you had forgotten about me."

"How could I forget such a charming gentleman?" Vivienne teased.

It was the first time Jasper had been described as charming, and he basked in the novelty, "My, my, your words warm an old man's heart." Vivienne smiled.

Just then, Yuri and Zelda came in, and Jasper immediately boasted. "Vivienne just called me charming. Take that, you bunch of brats who always call me stern. She doesn't think so."

He then turned to Vivienne. "I can call you Vivienne, right? It feels more personal."

"Of course," Vivienne replied with a laugh.

Yuri sighed, "Vivienne, my dad's only ever this happy when he's chatting with you. When he talks to me, he's far from charming."

"Cheeky boy, go fetch Vivienne's gift, will you? That's all you're good for," Jasper scolded, glaring at Yuri.

This boy was no good!

"Dad, I've brought everything. Don't look at him. He's useless," Zelda said, also shooting Yuri a teasing glare. Yuri muttered to himself, feeling like the black sheep of the family.

Zelda retrieved a mahogany box from the cabinet, its craftsmanship clearly that of a master's touch.
