Chapter 6 They had seen it with their own eyes - the swollen lumps on the old woman's body slowly fading , the bulging veins sinking back under her skin . An hour later , Yvette walked out . ] n visit her " She's awake and can move around on her own . I left medical instructions with Sophie - follow them exactly . You can now , but don't wear her out . " [ ] The Lynns , still in shock , rushed into the room . Lucas stood up . As he strode past Yvette , he paused just long enough to say quietly . " Impressive . " Yvette's lips curved slightly . " Mm . " ] ] The corner of Lucas's mouth lifted before he headed inside . ] When the Lynns came back out , their whole attitude had flipped . " Doctor , I'm so sorry ! " Adrian was practically shaking . " Whatever you need - anything at all - just say the word ! " ] ] " You're our family's savior ! " ] After visiting the old madam , Lucas took a call - something urgent had come up - and left . But before he went , his eyes lingered on Yvette , openly filled with interest and curiosity . " Next time , maybe we could grab dinner . Get to know each other better " ] With that , he turned and left with his people . ] She turned to Sophie , who was getting emotional and wiping her eyes . ] Sophie caught her look immediately . " Come on , I'll drive you myself . Don't worry - it's all set up . You're family now , a real Lynn . " " Alright . " ] That had been part of her condition for treating the old madam : a place to live after her release from prison . [ ] She hadn't expected Sophie to go so far as to arrange her a new identity . [ ] She knew a bit about the Lynn family from what she'd overheard back when she lived in the Summers household . [ ] The Lynns were political royalty - two generations of government bigshots gave them serious clout . Now they ran a business empire that made them stupid rich , top tier globally . ( The Summers ? Small time players by comparison . Way down the food chain . [ ] And their grandmother ? Total legend . War hero , national treasure - the whole package . Losing her would've been a disaster for the family name . By saving her , Yvette had basically become their golden girl . ] As Sophie drove Yvette to the villa , she filled her in on Lucas Reed . ] " That's Lucas Reed - my sister's son . He's my nephew , but the family thinks he's kind of weird . Not many people can get close to him . Still , he's got a good heart . Ever since Grandma got sick , he's been coming around , helping us find the best doctors . None of them could help her , though . " Sophie smiled , glancing at Yvette . " The reason everyone was so respectful to Lucas tonight is because he's the youngest Reed , heir . Old money from back east . If you haven't heard of them yet , you will . " ] Good heart , my ass . That guy looked like he'd gut you and not lose sleep over it . [ ] The Reeds were a cut above even the Lynns - which explained why everyone walked on eggshells around Lucas . But judging by how nervous people seemed , Sophie wasn't telling her everything . [ ] By the time they finished talking , the car had pulled into the villa's driveway . The place sat right in the heart of downtown , decorated like something out of a teenage girl's dream room . Not really Yvette's style anymore , but she could live with it . The household staff lined up at the front entrance in two perfect rows , all bowing in unison . ] ] " Welcome home , Miss . "
