Although Nora’s voice was low and hoarse, it was clear. With so many people present, her words reached everyone’s ears.
All the nannies and servants looked at one another. In the end, all of them lowered their heads in silence.
Yvonne suddenly flushed. She hadn’t expected Nora to speak so bluntly. Nevertheless, she had great mental resilience, so she immediately replied, “Nora, I know you’re irritated because I’m so long-winded, but there are some things that the Smiths can do, and some things that they can’t! You mustn’t treat Old Maddy so inhumanely! Your medical treatment has already caused him to become comatose! Are you going to bear the responsibility if he really dies?”
Nora stared at her. “Yeah, I will.”
“…”
Her words made Yvonne choke.
Even a doctor wouldn’t dare to say that, yet Nora had actually said it.
She took a deep breath. “Nora, you—”
Nora, however, didn’t pay her any more attention. She went straight into her bedroom and slammed the door shut, isolating herself from the commotion outside.
Her actions put Yvonne in a particularly awkward situation.
Florence, who was standing behind her, said angrily, “Ms. Yvonne, you shouldn’t bother yourself with her! If something really happens, let’s see how she’s going to answer for it!”
Yvonne took a deep breath and said pretentiously, “Mdm. Florence, I’m not trying to interfere with her affairs. I’m just worried about Dad! Dad was the one who personally allowed Old Maddy to live here, after all. Besides—others may not know this, but I’m sure you do—Dad occasionally visits Old Maddy like he’s visiting an old friend…”
Florence frowned. “Yes, we all treat Old Maddy like he’s family. I just didn’t expect a certain someone to be so cruel as to use him as a guinea pig for their experiments!”
Yvonne sighed. “Yes, that’s why I’ve been worried about Old Maddy’s safety all this time…”
The two of them entered the study while they spoke.
Yvonne closed the door and sighed. “Mdm. Florence, what if I give Dad a call now and tell him about this?”
Florence immediately waved and said, “No, you mustn’t. The old sir is in the midst of recuperation right now. If you tell him about it, he’ll definitely become anxious. I think it’s better to tell Mr. Joel about it instead.”
Yvonne said, “But Joel has already agreed to let Nora treat Old Maddy’s illness. Dad is the only one who can stop her now, but I don’t want to disturb him, either. How about this? If Old Maddy continues to be comatose… I have a pill here called the Carefree Pill that can treat brain problems. This pill is said to have saved Mrs. Hunt’s life!”
The Carefree Pill?
Florence was taken aback. “Isn’t that a creation by Harmonia Pharmacy?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Yvonne cast her eyes down and said, “I heard that the pill can refresh and invigorate one’s mind. I’m sure Old Maddy will wake up once he consumes a pill as expensive as this. That way, nothing will happen to him anymore.”
Florence was still rather hesitant. “Can the pill be taken so casually?”
Yvonne shook her head. “I don’t know. I’ve heard that traditional medicine is meant to nourish one’s body, but I don’t dare to let him take it, either. Forget it, Mdm. Florence, if Old Maddy continues to be comatose after another two days, then we’ll talk to Dad about it!”
After saying that, Yvonne placed the Carefree Pill in her hand on the desk, got up, and left the study.
However, she didn’t leave after she went out. Instead, she stood at the door and looked into the study.
Florence was staring at the Carefree Pill on the desk.
If she gave the pill to Old Maddy, he would recover, right? This way, they wouldn’t have to disturb the old sir anymore.
The old sir was in poor health, so no one dared to disturb him with the affairs at home.
Not only would it cure Old Maddy, but they also wouldn’t need to disturb the old sir…
Florence picked up the pill and went straight to Old Maddy’s residence.
Seeing her leave, Yvonne lowered her head. A small smile appeared at the corners of her lips.

The next day, Nora went to Old Maddy’s residence and performed acupuncture on him as per usual.
After watching Old Maddy fall asleep again at the end of the acupuncture session, she got up and walked out of the house.
Lily called her at this point. “The DNA test results are out!” she said.
Nora asked nervously, “Is he Ryan Smith?”
