Chapter 719 Intention
Yara was shocked, for she thought that Samuel knew who gave birth to Franklin and Sophia at about the same time as Kenneth.
When Yara wanted to touch Samuel, he rudely flung her hand away. “I also know what you did to Nat. However, I didn’t do anything to you because of Grandpa. Whether you were sincere or not, you did take care of Grandpa very well. However, I’m not interested in you at all!”
Yara always thought she had lowered her dignity too much because of loving Samuel. Nonetheless, she felt a lump in her throat upon listening to Samuel’s cruel remark.
“Would you take a look at me in the past five years if Grandpa didn’t like me?” Yara couldn’t help but ask Samuel even though she roughly knew the answer.
“No,” Samuel said while casting a sideways glance at Yara.
Then, Samuel warned Yara, “Don’t harm Nat. Also, don’t let me catch you in action.”
With that, Samuel turned around and left the mourning hall.
Yara went weak at the knees and collapsed. Nevertheless, she clutched her phone forcefully as though she wanted to break it into pieces.
The next moment, tears uncontrollably streamed down Yara’s face. I can’t stop it… Did I hurt her or the other way round? I won’t become who I am today if she doesn’t exist! Anyway, her reputation will go to the dogs within days. By then, she will have nothing and might even go to prison!
Samuel, you can resist your family for her, but can you confront the whole world? We’ll wait and see!
Deep in Yara’s heart, she wanted Natalie to feel her pain.
When Ross was in the laboratory, he felt his eyelids get heavier, for he almost fell asleep. He quickly shook his head to stay awake.
He looked up and saw that Natalie was still focusing on the experiment as if she wouldn’t get tired at all.
“Ms. Nichols, you—”
“Get some sleep if you’re too tired. You can continue after that,” Natalie murmured without lifting her head.
“I…” Realizing that it wasn’t appropriate to slack off at the critical moment, Ross tried his best to stay awake.
After working day and night, they finally extracted two new elements of medicine at midnight on the fourth day.
One of them was a hallucinogen extracted from Melissa’s blood.
The other was an element that could speed up the spread of cancer cells from the dead patients’ blood.
Compared to ordinary drugs that would lead to addiction, the new hallucinogen could make one feel on cloud nine without getting addicted to it. Besides, others could control the minds of those who consumed the hallucinogen with hypnosis.
Patients who consumed the second element would die due to cancer without any pre-existing signs. Even a pathologist could only conclude that their deaths were accidents after undergoing autopsies, for there was no trace of drugs.
Natalie and Ross were deep in thought as they read the report.
After a while, Natalie couldn’t help but ask, “Tell me. What do you think?”
While thinking about the experimental mouse, Ross said with a grim expression, “One could neither invent the new medicines overnight nor do it alone. These two medicines don’t seem to be made to generate profit. Instead, they can be used as powerful weapons by some underground organizations. The first medicine can help create zombies, while the second is perfect for assassination.”
What Ross said was in line with Natalie’s thoughts.
Natalie nodded and said, “The mastermind knew that I would figure it out sooner or later. Hence, they used the medicines against me to bring me down. They wished to ensure that I could never challenge their positions, just like my granddad and mom in the past!”
Until then, Natalie finally understood her mother’s intention of leaving the letter for her.
