Chapter 356 What He Cares About
Feeling relieved, Kenneth eased the frown on his face.
“It’s good to hear that she’s all right.” Kenneth glanced at Yara. “Yara, since your hand is hurt, there’s no
need for you to go to the hospital. You should rest at home instead. Considering that you’ve been training
in medicine since you were young, your hands are crucial to your future. Therefore, you have to take
good care of yourself and protect your hands better.”
Despite her gloomy expression, Yara nodded with a faint smile. “I’m glad to hear that Ms. Johnson has
been saved.”
“I’ll be retiring to my room.”
“Yes, Grandpa.”
With the butler’s help, Kenneth returned to his bedroom after having his worry eased.
The fact that Lia was saved after having a close shave with death caused him to feel less guilty.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFurthermore, he was hoping that Natalie would be imprisoned for a few years over what happened.
However, Yara didn’t share Kenneth’s sentiments as a vicious glint flashed in her eye.
The poison she gave Lia was so lethal that it was supposed to be untreatable.
So how was she cured? What if she exposes my filthy deeds when she awakes? No, I must do
something to protect myself.
Meanwhile, inside the hospital, Lia had finished puking the poisoned blood and received a blood
transfusion of two hundred milliliters. Although she hadn’t regained consciousness, her condition had
gradually stabilized.
When Lionel saw Natalie again, he couldn’t help but ask, “Ms. Nichols, why did Lia accuse you of
poisoning her?”
“I have only met Ms. Johnson once,” Natalie replied with a narrowed gaze. “Before she vomited blood,
she kept apologizing to me. Hence, I suspect she knows that I too am being used by someone insidious.
Unfortunately, Ms. Johnson didn’t expect the person who instructed her to accuse me of poisoning her
really wanted her dead.”
Lionel was stunned.
If not for what happened, he would’ve thought that Natalie was spouting nonsense.
However, after watching Natalie demonstrate her compassion and adept medical skills, he believed
every word she said.
“When she awakes, I’ll definitely ask her who was the one who manipulated her into doing this.” Lionel
clenched his fists in anger. He resolved to exact revenge on whoever treated Lia as a pawn.
“Since she wasn’t honest with you before taking the poison, her resolve not to tell you would only be
stronger now.” Natalie continued, “I just want you to tell her not to blindly believe in the words of the
perpetrator. After all, she is willing to harm her own sister, let alone an outsider.”
Lionel was taken aback.
Just when he was about to say something, he realized nothing would come out. In the end, he simply
thanked Natalie.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWithout saying anything further, Natalie turned and left the hospital.
Pursing his lips tightly, Samuel got up together with her and followed suit.
Once Natalie settled into the front passenger seat of the car, she heaved a sigh of relief.
After putting on her safety belt, she spaced out for a while and didn’t even notice if the car was moving.
Only when she turned toward Samuel did she realize that he was staring at her neck with his eyebrows
knitted. His eyes were so dark that they looked like a bottomless abyss.
She was cognizant of what he was looking at and what was going through his mind.
As a result, she felt it better to not bring the matter up. Or else, it would simply upset Samuel further.
“Why?”
“What do you mean why?” Feeling self-conscious, Natalie licked her dry lips and played dumb.
Nonetheless, Samuel wasn’t going to have any of it as he reached out to gently stroke her neck.
“Why didn’t you let me stop Lionel from strangling you?” Samuel’s voice was icy cold. “If you were
worried that he would disrupt the diagnosis, I could’ve knocked him out with a punch.”
