Female Novel
Chapter 109
After Sabrina made her comment, Morwenna remained silent. However, Yara, who was alwaysquick to stir trouble, couldn’t help but make a snide remark.
“Oh, Sabrina’s so lucky, having had two boys. But even two don't quite stack up to Stuart,” shemocked.
Far more astute and less inclined to such pettiness, Sabrina responded smoothly, “It’s not aproblem. They are part of the Hetfield family, and being part of such a grand family, having a shareis quite enough.”
Her words were cleverly veiled. On the surface, they seemed calm, but they subtly pointed out thather sons were true Hetfields by blood, whereas Yara, having married into another family, could bearas many children as she wanted, but they wouldn’t carry the Hetfield name.
Yara was quick to anger. “What are you implying, Sabrina? Even if I married out, I remain thedarling of the Hetfield family. I have my place here whenever I want.”
Sabrina maintained her composure. “Yara, don’t get me wrong. You’re pregnant and should focuson taking care of yourself.”
But it only enraged Yara further. With four daughters and another child on the way, she felt reducedto a mere childbearing machine.
Slamming her cutlery down, she turned to Phineas. “Phineas, did you hear that? She’s beentargeting me since she married you. You’re my brother, and she’s an outsider. How can you let hertreat me like this?”
Troubled by the escalating argument, Phineas frowned. “This isn’t the way to behave in front of thechildren. Sabrina, you might be more accommodating toward Yara.”
A flicker of irritation crossed Sabrina's eyes. She was always the one putting up with stuff andstepping down, and she was sick of it.
Standing up abruptly, she declared, “Fine, keep your close sibling bond. I’m just an outsider, right?I’ll leave!”
Morwenna was confused by the sudden outburst of conflict.
She had no emotional ties to the rest of the Hetfield family and listened dispassionately until shesuddenly cried out, “Norbert!”
Clutching his chest, Norbert collapsed backward.
Horrified, Morwenna scrambled up, knocking her chair over. “Quick, call a doctor!”
Phineas rushed to his father’s side.
Meanwhile, the quarrel between the two women raged on.
“It’s all your fault, Sabrina! If you cause any harm to Dad, I’ll make Phineas divorce you!” Yarashouted, furious.
Sabrina finally snapped. “Oh, it’s always my fault, right? Just because you’re unwanted by your in-laws, you think you can come here and rule over the Hetfield family as if you’re still the untouchableMiss Hetfield?”
“How dare you speak to me like that!” Yara screamed, her face red with anger.
The room was in chaos.
The family doctor arrived quickly, his face filled with concern. He treated Norbert in no time andannounced, “Mr. Norbert’s heart is acting up. He’s stable for now but not out of danger. We need to
get him to a hospital immediately.”
As Morwenna watched Norbert’s pale face and lips, a cold fear gripped her heart. She thought ofMelvin and felt a deep dread about Norbert’s condition.
The argument continued unabated around her.
Driven to her limit, Morwenna shouted, “Enough! Be quiet!”
The room fell silent.
No one expected such boldness from Morwenna, a recent addition to the family with no significantstanding.
Sabrina fell silent, lost in thought.
Feeling humiliated, Yara lowered her voice. “Who do you think you are talking to? We are yourelders.”
Without turning, Morwenna's voice carried a chilling edge. “If anything happens to Norbert, I maynot do much to you, but I’m sure Stuart won’t let it go.”
Yara fell silent. She wasn’t afraid of Morwenna, but the thought of Stuart, unpredictable and volatile,made her pause.
As the family doctor hurriedly prepared Norbert for transport to the hospital, the Hetfield family faceda moment of uncertain silence, the echoes of the conflict hanging heavily in the air.novelbin
