Female Novel
Chapter 194
Blood all over, Reuben looking like he took a serious beating, Yara screaming back... What the heckhad happened here?
Morwenna's gaze quickly swept across the scene, landing on Norbert.novelbin
She rushed to Norbert's side, reaching out to support him.
Having not seen him for a few days, Norbert seemed to have aged, but Morwenna couldn't careless about that now. She anxiously asked, “Norbert, are you alright?”
In the midst of all this chaos and bloodshed, Morwenna's primary concern was still Norbert.
Norbert, with warmth in his eyes, was about to reply.
That's when Yara's loud voice cut him off, “Stuart, it wasn't me who messed with Norbert’s life-saving medication. I didn’t do anything! Why are you trying to kick me out? I know what you’re up to.You dealt with Reuben, banished Phineas, and now you want me gone too. You want to rule overthe Hetfield estate by yourself, waiting for Norbert to pass so you can take it all, don’t you? Dreamon! If you think you’re so tough, try laying a hand on me. I won’t go down without a fight!”
Yara was desperate; she was pregnant and didn’t believe Norbert would truly abandon her.
She just wanted her fair share without causing any real harm. Stuart wouldn’t dare touch her, shethought.
But Stuart didn’t make a move.
Not for the reasons Yara thought, but because Morwenna had returned.
Stuart, usually cold and reckless, had learned to care.
Norbert, not wanting Morwenna, this innocent soul, to witness such vile acts, instinctively shieldedher.
Morwenna, however, hastily tugged at Norbert's sleeve, asking, “Norbert, what’s that thing aboutchanging medication? Who tried to mess with your meds? What exactly happened?”
Norbert remained silent.
Stuart didn’t dare to answer either.
Death didn’t faze Stuart, but it would Morwenna.
Could she handle the truth that Norbert had only months to live?
No one answered, and Morwenna’s eyes filled with panic.
She didn’t care about the Hetfield family’s internal strife; she married Stuart not for the money.
But Norbert had to be okay!
The doctor had said Norbert’s medication regimen was crucial; his health needed to be carefullymanaged.
Seeing Morwenna about to cry, Norbert quickly reassured her, “Wenna, don’t worry. Thanks to you,Orson was keeping an eye on me. He discovered the attempt to tamper with my medication in time.No one managed to mess with my meds.”
Morwenna, with wide, still slightly panicked eyes, looked at Norbert.
Norbert nodded affirmatively.
The attempt to change his medication had indeed been thwarted, but even with the rightmedication, his body was merely being kept going a little while longer.
These were details Norbert felt didn’t need to be shared with Morwenna just yet.
Hearing Norbert was alright, Morwenna finally relaxed, her grip on him not loosening.
Yara, still in the midst of her rebellion, noticed this interaction.
Everyone knew Norbert was fond of Morwenna.
But Stuart, looking utterly worried, seemed to genuinely care for Morwenna.
Recalling how Stuart had acknowledged their marriage in front of Adelaide, and how, after stayingaway for so long, had returned to the family home, Yara thought she had uncovered a crucialinsight.
Could it be that Stuart, this madman, had fallen for Morwenna?
With this thought, Yara’s eyes sparkled, and she shouted, “Morwenna, do you realize the kind ofmonster you’ve married? Look at Reuben over there, and then at the blood Stuart can’t wash off hishands. He nearly killed Reuben, and they’re blood-related cousins. Now, he even intends to layhands on a pregnant woman like me. The cream of the crop of the Hetfield family? He’s a devil!”
