Talented Heiress: A Rose With Thorns

A Rose 249

Yvette had just changed her clothes when she heard the frantic voice of the maids downstairs.

Her expression immediately turned serious as she headed down the stairs.

“Aunt Yara, what’s wrong? Don’t scare us like this…” Yasmin was crouching beside the unconscious Yara, her face filled with anxiousness.

As soon as Yvette reached the bottom of the stairs, she saw a trace of blood on the floor and Yara’s pale face. Yvette’s expression instantly became grave.

“Move aside,” she said.

But Yasmin refused to move and even stretched out her hand to block Yvette. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

“Even though Aunt Yara was weak, she has always been fine. But when she took the medicine you gave her, she suddenly started vomiting blood and fainted,” Yasmin started accusing Yvette. “What did you give to Aunt Yara?”

Hearing Yasmin’s accusation, Yvette’s beautiful fox–like eyes grew even colder. “The medicine I gave Mom couldn’t possibly have any side effects. Move aside, don’t waste time!”

Yara’s condition looked serious and required urgent treatment, or the consequences would be unimaginable.

“You’ve already made Aunt Yara like this. I can’t trust you anymore!” Yasmin shouted.

Seeing Yasmin’s determination to block her, Yvette’s expression grew deathly cold. She didn’t bother arguing further and was about to take action when the living room door was pushed open.

“What’s with all the commotion? What happened?” A voice bellowed.

Irwin and Jacob had just returned. Yasmin’s eyes darted around, and she immediately rushed over to them.

“Uncle Irwin, Jacob, you’re finally back! Aunt Yara is in trouble!” she cried.

“What?”

Irwin and Jacob’s expressions changed instantly, and they quickly approached to check on the unconscious Yara.

“What exactly happened?”

Yasmin frowned and said, “Aunt Yara was just fine when she was chatting with us. But after taking the medicine Yvette gave her, she suddenly started vomiting blood and fainted. The maids saw it!”

“That’s right, we saw it with our own eyes!” The maids nodded in agreement. “Mrs. Murray was just talking to us, but after taking the medicine, she suddenly vomited blood and fainted. It almost scared us to death!

“How could this happen?!” Seeing his wife unconscious and weak, Irwin’s heart was in agony. He was extremely anxious.

“You should ask Yvette about the medicine she gave Aunt Yara!” Yasmin said.

“Are you implying that I harmed Mom on purpose?” Yvette’s icy gaze fell on her, causing the people present to feel an instinctual fear.

Facing such a gaze, Yasmin couldn’t help but tremble, but she still stubbornly continued, “Yvette, I’m not

saying that–but Aunt Yara did start vomiting blood and fainted after taking your medicine. The maids all saw it!”

“Enough!” Before Yasmin could say more, she was interrupted by Irwin.

Although his expression was anxious, his voice was firm. “Yvie’s medicine couldn’t possibly cause any problems. Yara’s health improved when she took the medicine last time. It might be due to other reasons!” Hearing this, Yasmin couldn’t help but be stunned. She hadn’t expected him to defend Yvette in such a situation.

She had imagined them instantly driving Yvette out of the Murray family, so why was this scene so different from what she had expected?

Yasmin clenched her fists tightly at her sides, her sharp nails digging into flesh. She couldn’t believe that they still chose to believe in Yvette even though the evidence was right in front of their eyes.

“Uncle Irwin, I’m not doubting Yvette, but Aunt Yara did faint after taking the medicine she gave her!” She tried to accuse Yvette again.

Jacob spoke up just then. In a deep voice, he said, “It is not the time to argue about this. Ask Dr. Bingley to come quickly!”
