Chapter 1427 The Real Reason
Ichika nodded.
“That’s right. The locals love that place, as it’s seen to be more effective than an ordinary hot spring.
However, my parents were unwilling to bring me there when I was young, and they didn’t want me to
appear in public.”
Just as she spoke, Ichika lowered her head pitifully.
Solomon was speechless.
Before anyone could say a word, his insensitive sister patted Ichika on the shoulder.
“Now that you’re married, there’s nothing to worry about. Hehe! You can go anywhere you like.” Just as
she spoke, her shifty gaze fell upon the hickeys on Ichika’s neck.
Both Solomon and Ichika panicked.
Finally, Devin had to pull his cheeky wife back.
Half an hour later, everyone agreed with the suggestion after a quick discussion. Hence, they decided
to head out again.
Just when they were prepared to do so, a messenger from the Minamoto family arrived.
“Ms. Minamoto, I have bad news. Ms. Himari tried to kill herself by ingesting poison after being sent
home!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“What did you say?”
Ichika’s heart dropped.
Himari tried to kill herself?
Everyone was shocked by the news. Consequently, whatever they had planned for the day was all for
naught.
After that, Ichika and Solomon hurriedly left, leaving the Hayeses in their room to wait for Sebastian’s
decision.
“Sebby, should we go over to the Minamoto residence too? After all, I’m responsible—”
Sebastian scowled. “What has it got to do with you? She has just gotten what she deserved!”
He cut her off before she could even finish. To him, not only was it not Sasha’s fault, but he also felt
that Himari should have counted her blessings, for he didn’t kill her for trying to harm his family.
His response naturally calmed Sasha down.
As for Jonathan and Rufus, they also agreed with Sebastian’s assessment of the situation.
“If that crafty witch were one of the Jadesons, we would have shot her dead.”
“That’s right. The only reason I didn’t flare at her for trying to harm my nephew was on Solomon’s
account. With regards to this matter, don’t you worry, Sasha. If the Minamoto family are objective, they
won’t blame you for it,” Rufus consoled his daughter.
After waiting at the hotel till noon, they finally received word from Solomon.
“He said Himari isn’t dead. She was resuscitated and is currently in the hospital,” Sasha related.
“Is it a ruse to gain pity?” Sebastian snapped in frustration before anyone could react.
Everyone fell silent.
Apparently, it was always a bad idea to scheme against someone highly intelligent. One would just end
up being crushed.
Meanwhile, even Ichika saw through the ruse.
When the doctor came out of the operating room and informed her that none of Himari’s vital organs
had been injured, a cold glint flashed in her eyes.
Ten minutes later in the ward, Ichika walked up to the bed and declared in an indifferent tone, “Himari, if
you want to leave the Minamoto family, I will give you my blessing. However, mark my words. If I find
out you have harmed the family, I will not forgive you.”
Himari’s eyelids twitched.
Finally, she opened her eyes and looked at Ichika.
What’s that look in her eye? Hatred?
Hatred was no longer enough to describe her feelings. The animosity Himari felt for Ichika had
transcended into a murderous rage where she felt the urge to tear her apart.
“Ichika, don’t you dare gloat in front of me. One day, I will trample you beneath my feet, and you will be
begging me for mercy in tears.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Is that so? How long do you think you need to do that? I’m afraid I’ll be dead before it happens,” Ichika
retorted with an icy stare.
Unexpectedly, Himari let out an insidious laugh.
“Have you forgotten what you did when you were eight? Do you think I’m not aware of the reason why
you accepted the marriage proposal from the Tsurka family?”
Ichika was stung by her words.
Ichika glared at Himari with her eyes widened. Her face had lost all color.
“You admonished Akiko and accused her of being a venomous snake. After that, you took advantage of
Akiyama’s phobia to keep him by your side. You are no better than Akiko. You were the one behind
those vile acts. Isn’t that true?”
“No!” Ichika shrieked.
“I didn’t. You are lying! I didn’t do that at all!”
“No? In that case, when Dad brought you to the Tsurka residence, why did you return home in panic? I
remembered that day was the first day Yancy welcomed her son back home. After that day, a rumor
began spreading in the city. It was said that Yamada’s adopted son kneeled at their door the entire day,
begging to be accepted into the Tsurka family. In the end, an eight-year-old noble girl behind a veil
requested Yamada to take the child in. In fact, she even begged Yamada on her knees before he
agreed to take the boy in. Isn’t that what happened?”
Lying in the hospital bed, Himari let out a venomous laugh after she recounted the past.
