Chapter 349\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finley pushed the thoughts aside. If his mother hadn\u2019t found him collapsed outside the east wing villa last night, he might have died there. He touched the bruise on his forehead and winced. \u201cIt\u2019s nothing. I bumped it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou bumped it? But why would you\u2026\u201d Honora trailed off, her eyes widening with realization. Her concern morphed into self\u2013blame. \u201cFinley, was it the poison? Was the pain so unbearable that you had to hurt yourself to get through it?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finley\u2019s silence was his answer.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, Finley, this is all my fault,\u201d she said, her voice cracking as tears welled in her eyes. \u201cIf it weren\u2019t for me, Larissa would have cured you yesterday, and you wouldn\u2019t have had to suffer for another day.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Leopold, listening to her fake sentiment, was disgusted. He couldn\u2019t believe he had ever found her pitiful.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Moved by her worry, Finley momentarily forgot the agonizing pain of the previous night. He patted her head gently. \u201cIt\u2019s okay. It was only one more night. Today, Larissa is going to wake Leopold and cure me. You don\u2019t have to be upset.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI know\u2026 but Larissa despises us. Why would she suddenly agree to help you?\u201d Honora asked, a hint of suspicion in her voice.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou don\u2019t need to worry about that.\u201d Finley didn\u2019t want to tarnish Honora with their family\u2019s dirty tactics. \u201cI\u2019m going to handle Leopold\u2019s discharge papers. You can pack his things. We\u2019ll take him home as soon as I\u2019m done.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay,\u201d Honora replied meekly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As soon as Finley left the room, her expression shifted to one of scornful amusement. She began packing Leopold\u2019s belongings.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, Leopold,\u201d she sneered, \u201cit looks like your father finally made a move, and Larissa had no choice but to surrender. She\u2019s so confident she can wake you. I wonder what her face will look like when she realizes you can\u2019t be woken.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Leopold silently cursed her, calling her a vicious monster. His sister said he would wake up, and he believed her. He would wake up!\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the Palmer family estate, the late autumn sun cast dappled shadows through the leaves. After texting Larissa, Haskell prepared to leave for the Judson estate, with Crispin ready to push his wheelchair.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As they reached the main hall, Thatch\u2019s voice stopped them. \u201cHaskell, I haven\u2019t been able to reach Draven for two days. After those people took him, did you even try to save him?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Haskell paused, a faint, unreadable smile on his lips. \u201cDad, you have a strange sense of humor. Draven tried to have me killed. Why would I save him?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
10:07\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 349\u00a0<\/p>\n
Thatch\u2019s face flushed with anger. \u201cYour brother was just confused! He was sent away by your grandfather as a child and felt resentful when he returned. It was a mistake! He\u2019s still your brother, the child your mother risked everything to find. Are you just going to let him die?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The self\u2013serving justification in his father\u2019s voice was exhausting. Haskell said flatly, \u201cI\u2019ve had Crispin\u00a0<\/p>\n
look into it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Thatch relaxed slightly. \u201cThat\u2019s more like it. As soon as you find out where he is, tell me\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t say I was investigating his whereabouts,\u201d Haskell interrupted. \u201cI\u2019m investigating whether he is actually my brother.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Thatch froze, a flicker of panic in his eyes before he composed himself. \u201cWhat nonsense are you talking about? Draven is your brother! Do you want to disappoint your mother\u2019s spirit with such words?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
