Female Novel
Chapter 718
Ian had been preoccupied with Jean's critical illness and company affairs. He couldn't leave and personallytracked down Thora.
When he found out Thora had treated Gerald, he immediately sent someone to find her. However, she appeared tohave foreseen trouble and went into hiding. They were unable to locate her.
Ian, frustrated, sent out more people to look for her.
Meanwhile, he tried to come up with other ways to approach the situation.
After some thought, he approached Frederic and Wrenn for assistance.
"Mr. Frederic, Thora was introduced to Mr. Peter by Mr. Clarence," Ian reported.
"I doubt she'd disappear for no apparent reason. Thora doesn't know many people in Kingsview, so I suspect herdisappearance has something to do with Mr. Clarence."
After Ian informed him of the situation, Frederic wore a solemn expression. He couldn't let this slide. He neededto deal with this, despite the fact that it involved his own brother.
Decisively, he commanded Ian, "Stay here and keep me updated. If anything happens, give me a call."
Subsequently, he turned around and left.
Wrenn quickly called out to him, "Where are you going?"
"To find Clarence!" He replied sternly without pausing his stride.
"I'm coming with you."
She couldn't sit still when she thought about the kind of agony Jean had to go through and Clarence's involvementin the incident. novelbin
The two rushed to Clarence's house and demanded answers from him.
"Where's Thora? Where is she now?"
Clarence was still indignant after they kicked him out of the board of directors. He was upset as he retorted, "Whywould you come to me and ask me this?"
Exasperated, Wrenn chided, "She's gone! If we don't come to you, who should we go to?"
"She's gone?" Clarence was stunned. He asked, "What do you mean?
Wrenn tightened her teeth in rage.
She scolded, "Ged is critically ill because of her. She almost killed Jed too. That woman has gone missing now.You're the one who introduced her, so we're here to demand answers!"
This revelation astounded Clarence.
He was mad at Thora when he learned about her incompetence, but he hadn't expected this quack to cause suchharm. The progress of the situation had far exceeded his expectations.
He spotted Frederic's stern expression and felt a pang of fear. If something happened to Jean, he was certain thathis brother would kick him out of Beauvort Group permanently.
When this realization struck him, he quickly confessed to everything.
"...That's the whole story. She had treated me once, and I was impressed with her skills. I only met her a fewtimes. I tried to contact her yesterday, but she never picked up the call."
Noting his sincerity, Frederic's expression became grimmer.
"This is great! Our entire family is being played by Thora!"
In a panic, Clarence quickly came up with something. He exclaimed, "I remember something! Kyra came by tosee me when I was sick. She was the one who mentioned that my symptoms were similar to Jean's. She is the onewho contacted Thora. Maybe you should ask Kyra; she might know where Thora is."
Wrenn was surprised that Kyra was involved in this, which made her even more worried.
…
Back in the research center, after Neera readily prepared the medicine, she also asked Ian about Thora'swhereabouts.
Apologetically, he bowed his head a little.
"I'm sorry, we haven't found her, but we discovered that she is a close friend of Alistair Gray. I've sent someone tokeep an eye on him and deployed more men to track her down. I hope you can be patient."
Neera's gaze turned cold. She deduced, "She should have sensed something went wrong and things would be badfor her. Therefore, she ran away before the consequences caught up with her."
Did she believe she could get away? She made a mistake and now must pay the price for it. I'd tolerated a lotfrom her in the past, but she wasn't having it this time.
Osbert spat in disgust and chided, "What a scourge! We should have sent her away from the start. How could shehave done such heinous things? She's inhumane!"
Luigi was astounded that Thora could cause so much trouble.
"What is she thinking? She is well-versed in all aspects of medical treatment. If only she had spent some timestudying the patient's condition and treating them properly. Even if the treatment did not completely heal them,the patients wouldn't end up in such a state.
"Out of so many options, she has to pick sinister methods and disregard their physical tolerance! She's killingthem."
The gloom in Neera's eyes deepened as she said, "Someone like her does not qualify to be a doctor; she is noteven qualified to be a human."
"You two help me monitor the situation here," she reasoned coldly. "I must to call Mr. Hanson."
This incident had crossed her limit. She would not cover for Thora, and she believed her master deserved to knowthe truth.
