Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1064

To lure the Fenris jerboa out, Shannon returned to the Jensen residence the next day.

She'd asked Thomas last night, and he'd mentioned that they'd indeed brought a box of chocolate home. But it later disappeared, and no one knew who took it.

Although it seemed unlikely… What if?

As soon as the car stopped at the gate of the Jensen residence, she stepped out and happened to see the family doctor arriving with a nurse.

She assumed it was a routine checkup for George or Marie, but the doctor headed straight for Alex's room instead.

Thomas explained, "Mr. Alex hasn't had much of an appetite since yesterday and has been feeling unusually drowsy.

"This morning, he suddenly gagged during breakfast. Mr. Jensen Senior was worried it might be a health issue and called the doctor to check on him."

Shannon didn't think much of it and went straight to the study to greet George.

Meanwhile, in Alex's bedroom, the atmosphere was oddly tense. Alex sat with a stiff expression as the family doctor pressed gently on his chest.

Alex grunted. He was clearly uncomfortable and slightly embarrassed by the chest examination.

The doctor looked at his bulging belly, hesitated, and asked, "Mr. Jensen, have you noticed any abnormalities in your abdomen? For instance, does your belly seem larger than usual?"

The doctor wasn't trying to offend Alex, but the latter was the only one with a beer belly among the Jensens. That was why it was hard to tell if it'd gotten larger.

Alex was puzzled as to why the doctor suddenly seemed concerned about his belly, but now that it was mentioned, he did feel his belly seem more bloated than usual.

Could his nausea, gagging, and lack of appetite be due to excessive fat? But that didn't make sense.
