Blood all over, Reuben looking like he took a serious beating, Yara screaming back... What the heck had happened here?
Morwenna's gaze quickly swept across the scene, landing on Norbert.
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 care less about that now. She anxiously asked, âNorbert, are you alright?â
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, âStuart, it wasn't me who messed with Norbertâs life-saving medication. I didnât do anything! Why are you trying to kick me out? I know what youâre up to. You dealt with Reuben, banished Phineas, and now you want me gone too. You want to rule over the Hetfield estate by yourself, waiting for Norbert to pass so you can take it all, donât you? Dream on! If you think youâre so tough, try laying a hand on me. I wonât go down without a fight!â
Yara was desperate; she was pregnant and didnât believe Norbert would truly abandon her.
She just wanted her fair share without causing any real harm. Stuart wouldnât dare touch her, she thought.
But Stuart didnât 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 shielded her.
Morwenna, however, hastily tugged at Norbert's sleeve, asking, âNorbert, whatâs that thing about changing medication? Who tried to mess with your meds? What exactly happened?â
Norbert remained silent.
Stuart didnât dare to answer either.
Death didnât faze Stuart, but it would Morwenna.
Could she handle the truth that Norbert had only months to live?
No one answered, and Morwennaâs eyes filled with panic.
She didnât care about the Hetfield familyâs internal strife; she married Stuart not for the money.
But Norbert had to be okay!
The doctor had said Norbertâs medication regimen was crucial; his health needed to be carefully managed.
Seeing Morwenna about to cry, Norbert quickly reassured her, âWenna, donât 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.â
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 right medication, his body was merely being kept going a little while longer.
These were details Norbert felt didnât 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 staying away for so long, had returned to the family home, Yara thought she had uncovered a crucial insight.
Could it be that Stuart, this madman, had fallen for Morwenna?
With this thought, Yaraâs eyes sparkled, and she shouted, âMorwenna, do you realize the kind of monster youâve married? Look at Reuben over there, and then at the blood Stuart canât wash off his hands. He nearly killed Reuben, and theyâre blood-related cousins. Now, he even intends to lay hands on a pregnant woman like me. The cream of the crop of the Hetfield family? Heâs a devil!â
