Chapter 281



Nora hadn’t been surprised even when Ian said she was a Smith, but she found herself very surprised at this instant.

Justin also frowned as he noticed her expression. He took a step forward and looked with her at the DNA test result.

When he looked, he also found himself stunned.

The two exchanged a glance. Obviously, they had not expected such a result.

The DNA test was done on Nora and Ian to verify if they were father and daughter. Neither was surprised to find out.

However, the results indicated that they both shared 99.8% DNA similarity. Therefore, they were scientifically recognized as uncle and niece.

The DNA similarity between a father and daughter was as high as 99.99%. Nora and Ian’s father and son DNA test results were very similar, but were outside the range. Therefore, they were classified as uncle and niece.

In other words, Nora’s father was not Ian, but one of her siblings?

Nora’s eyes widened and she looked at Ian in disbelief. At that moment he had a very horrible expression and gave off an air of dejection.

When Yvette had left then, she had told him that she no longer loved him. She told him that she had fallen in love with someone else and asked him to forget her.

After that she left.

He hadn’t believed her at first, but when he saw the DNA test report, he suddenly understood something.

It turned out that the other man was none other than one of his brothers.

Was it also for that reason that Yvette had decided to leave? Because she felt she could no longer look at him?

If it were someone else, she would not have run away. Nor would she have needed to.

Ian clenched his fists.

The feeling of being betrayed by his brother and partner at the same time made his chest rise and fall rapidly. Suddenly, his eyes closed and he lost consciousness.

“Uncle Ian!”

A shocked Joel rushed towards him. He was about to call for help when a figure faster than him stopped in front of him.

gαℓησν𝒆ℓs․com has your next chapter Nora bent down and checked Ian’s condition. “He fainted because he was too shaken by pent-up anger and sadness. He’s very weak now, so it’s not advisable to move him elsewhere.”

Joel frowned. “What do we do?”

Nora looked directly at Justin and said, “Get him meds. Give him the Zabe Corporation Soothing Pill.”

She had just handed Mrs. Hunt a box. There were about 64 pills.

Justin understood immediately. He left immediately.

He went to Mrs. Hunt’s study. As soon as he walked in, Mrs. Hunt asked him, “What’s the matter?”

Justin did not go into details. Instead, he simply replied, “Mr. Smith fainted because he was too agitated. Grandma, give me a Zabe Corporation Calming Pill.”

Mrs. Hunt: “!”

Mrs. Lewis couldn’t bear to part with the pill either. She wanted to say something, but Mrs. Hunt stopped her and said, “Give it to her.”

Mrs. Lewis looked at Mrs. Hunt before she finally reached over, pulled out the pill Yvonne had given them and gave it to Justin.

Justin took the pill from Yvonne, walked out and hurried to the meeting room next door.

As soon as he left the room, he saw Yvonne standing outside. She was surprised when she saw the pill in his hand. “What happened to Dad, did he pass out again?”

Justin nodded but said nothing.

Yvonne followed Justin into the meeting room next door.

When they entered, Justin opened the exquisite box in his hand, took out the pill and handed it to Nora.

Nora looked at Ian and said, “Put the pill in half a glass of water and dissolve it.”

Yvonne, however, panicked. She said, “Miss Smith! That pill is very rare. It’s better to take it as is. If you dissolve it in water, its effect will be reduced by half!”

Nora: “?”

How could the patient consume it if he had already lost consciousness?

Besides, even if its effect was halved, it would still be effective on Ian. Why was that woman interfering?

Yvonne looked at Joel. “That pill is not easily obtained Joel. Don’t let its effects go to waste.”

Joel looked at her aggressively.

His sharp eyes made Yvonne stutter as he said, “It’s not that I can’t bear to part with the pill. Saving Dad is the most important thing. I just wanted the effects of the pill to be maximized.”

Joel took a deep breath and asked, “Did Dr. Zabe ever say how the pill was to be consumed?”

Yvonne nodded hastily. “Yes he did. Just pop it in your mouth.”

Nora said immediately, “His condition is not that serious. Drinking it after diluting it would be enough.”

To be honest, she could also save Ian without the Zabe Corporation’s Soothing Pill. After all, Ian’s illness was not a brain disease. He had only fainted from rabies.

However, it was better if they could use it.

Yvonne’s eyes flickered when she heard what he said. Now she understood: her father’s condition was not that serious, and yet he had used the pill he had given Mrs. Hunt. Obviously, he had done it on purpose.

Joel frowned.

As he hesitated who to listen to, someone suddenly took the pill from him. When he looked up again, he saw that Justin had already dissolved the pill in the half-full glass of water he had just poured.

The pill dissolved immediately upon contact with the water and soon disappeared.

Justin handed the glass to Nora.

Nora held Ian’s face, opened his mouth and poured the medicine into his mouth roughly.

The two of them matched each other’s actions perfectly, as if they had always worked together that way. By the time Joel and Yvonne reacted, Ian had already finished the medicine.

Joel: “!”

Yvonne clenched her fists. “Mr. Hunt, Miss Smith! You people… That’s a waste of the effects of the pill!”

In Mrs. Hunt’s study.

After Justin left, Mrs. Hunt clutched her chest and sighed deeply.

Although she knew Justin was right to do what he had just done, she had taken the pill to save her father-in-law, but she had forgotten that she was also the one who needed that medicine the most to save his life. All in all, Mrs. Hunt was still feeling rather uncomfortable about it.

Next to her, Mrs. Lewis scolded, “Why did you give it to her, ma’am? The pill was a gift to you! You really need that pill.”

Mrs. Hunt sighed. “Anyway, Yvonne was the one who gave it to me in the first place. I’ll think I’m giving it back to her.”

Mrs. Lewis scoffed, “You can’t put it like that. Since I had already given her the pill, it belonged to her now. They can’t gloat around and then use it on their own at the end, can they? However, I just asked. This was Nora’s suggestion. She must be worried that you favor Yvonne over her, so she did it deliberately.”

Mrs. Hunt let out a huge sigh. “She grew up in the country, after all, so she’s too narrow-minded. To think she’s used all her intelligence on things like that! Throw away the medicine she gave me.”

Mrs. Lewis picked up the box of pills Nora had given Mrs. Hunt. She said, “Before you throw it away, let me take a look at what so many Rest Pills look like together…”

She opened the box after saying that, but the moment she did, she suddenly found herself stunned.

Mrs. Hunt scoffed at her reaction. “Look how ignorant you look. Even if there are 50 Rest Pills in there, they’re only worth $150,000. Do I pay you so little that you react like that for only $150,000?”

As soon as he said that, a stunned Mrs. Lewis raised her head and replied, “S-Madam, these… these are not Rest Pills. They are… they’re …”
