Chapter 571 Drug Has Taken Effect

A while later, they arrived back at the Bowers manor.

After visiting Samuel, instead of being in a better mood, Kenneth was feeling even more vexed.

For one, it was because he found out more details about the kidnapping incident from Samuel. Moreover, he had

also noticed that he was getting increasingly fond of Natalie as the days went by…

Even though Sophia and Natalie were not blood-related and Natalie knew that the kidnappers were using Sophia as

bait, she still took the bait willingly knowing that it would put her in a dangerous situation.

Judging by how Natalie was even willing to sacrifice her life for Sophia, it was no wonder that the twins were so fond

of her.

The woman had always treated everyone around her sincerely without any motives.

While Kenneth was still deep in thought, Jefford, the butler, walked over and said, “Old Mr. Bowers, Ms. Yara is here

to visit you!”

“Let her in,” Kenneth replied, snapping out of his daze.

“Understand.”

Yara quickly entered the house, and a short while later, she appeared in front of Kenneth.

“Grandpa…”

When the old man saw Yara, he suddenly felt that the woman, who had been by his side for the last five years,

seemed like a stranger. As he did not know what to say, he merely nodded in acknowledgment.

Seeing that Kenneth had remained silent, Yara had no choice but to start the conversation, “Grandpa, I’m sure you

would have heard about what happened to Melissa, right?”

“Yup, I’m aware.”

“Grandpa… I went to the morgue last night to verify her body with Dad and Aunt Yvonne. It was only then that I

found out that that foolish girl had committed such a crazy and unforgivable act!”

After saying that, Yara got down to her knees in front of Kenneth.

“Yara?”

“Grandpa, sorry… I’m truly sorry…” Yara apologized while banging her forehead on the ground continuously. “Even

though Melissa and I don’t have the same mother, we have grown up together and lived in the same house. No

matter what, I’m still her elder sister, and I have failed to keep an eye on her, allowing her to hurt Sophia!”

Just like Yara thought, Kenneth did blame her for what happened.

The fact that Melissa had committed such a heinous act meant that there was something worrying about the

upbringing of the Nichols family.

Kenneth did not try to stop Yara when she first started knocking her head against the floor.

However, as Yara was determined to gain Kenneth’s forgiveness, she was banging her head rather forcefully.

After a while, the skin on her forehead became red and swollen and seemed to be peeling off. If she continued

doing that, she would definitely start bleeding.

Feeling rational again, Kenneth finally said, “Yara, that’s enough. Get up.”

“Grandpa?”

“Silly girl, the one who kidnapped Sophia was Melissa, not you.” Kenneth held Yara’s hand and helped her up from

the floor. “You shouldn’t be blamed for Melissa’s evil deeds.”

Yara stood up and looked at Kenneth with her eyes brimming with tears.

“I don’t think Samuel would wanna see me,” Yara said in an inferior manner. “Grandpa, I heard from the police that

guns were found at the scene. A fight had broken out as well. Can you tell me how Samuel and Sophia are now? I

really want to know if they are hurt.”

“Sophia suffered from shock but she’s not hurt.” After taking a pause, Kenneth continued, “Samuel is currently still

recovering at the hospital. The Bowers’ family doctor is taking care of him so you don’t have to worry too much.”

Yara nodded.

After that, while Yara and Kenneth were chitchatting, Kenneth suddenly felt extremely unwell, as if thousands of

ants were crawling on his heart.

Suddenly, the old man’s face turned ashen as he gripped his chest tightly.

“Yara, my heart… my heart is feeling very uncomfortable…” Kenneth’s face paled in pain.

“Let me feel your pulse.” Yara put her fingers on Kenneth’s wrist and said, “Grandpa, your pulse is quite weak. Are

you in pain? Do you feel like there are ants crawling on your heart?”

“Yes, yes. That’s right.”

Yara knew that the drug, which she had instructed the butler to add into Kenneth’s medicine, had started to take

effect.

“Yara… My heart… It hurts… Save me…”
