Chapter 569 How Can She Hurt Sophia

“Grandpa, that’s not what Billy meant.” Steven tried to defuse the situation.

“Yup, Mr. Steven is right.” Billy nodded fervently.

“What do you mean he’s right?” Kenneth glared at Billy and uttered coldly, “Get out of my way. You’ll be

sorry if you don’t.”

Steven knew that the old man was hot-tempered and extremely stubborn. He was sure that even he

himself wouldn’t be able to stop his grandpa, not to mention Billy, who was just Samuel’s assistant.

“Billy!”

Steven shot a look at Billy, who understood what the man meant and backed away quietly.

After taking a deep inhale, Kenneth placed his hand on the doorknob and was intending to open the door

when the door was suddenly opened from the inside.

“Grandpa…” Samuel greeted Kenneth respectfully when he pushed the door open.

“You’re awake? How are you feeling?” Kenneth asked while sizing his grandson up.

“I merely donated some blood. I’m fine,” Samuel, who was wearing a hospital gown, replied.

“Nonsense!” Kenneth frowned and scolded, “Do you still remember that you’re now the patriarch of the

Bowers family? Your status and state of health are both very important! Even if it’s for someone

significant, there are others who can donate their blood instead. Do you really have to do it yourself?”

“Others can do it if it’s for someone else, just not this person,” Samuel replied calmly, but his tone was

firm.

“You!”

Kenneth was getting increasingly angry from scolding Samuel that his chest rose and fell rapidly. After

catching his breath, he said, “Samuel, I have something to ask you. Let’s talk inside the ward.”

“Let’s go somewhere else.”

“Why?” Kenneth asked in confusion.

“Nat is sleeping. She’s very tired. Her rest will be disturbed if we talk,” Samuel replied without any

change in expression.

When Steven and Billy heard that, both of them shut their eyes simultaneously, waiting for Kenneth to

explode with rage.

However, after waiting for a while, all they could hear was silence, and there was no response from the

old man at all.

Seconds later, Kenneth nodded slightly and replied, “Sure, let her rest then. Steven, can you help to find

another room for us to talk?”

After hearing the man’s words, Steven and Billy gasped in shock, wondering if they were hallucinating.

Kenneth had always treated Yara like his own granddaughter and regarded Natalie as a thorn in his

flesh! As such, both men could hardly believe that his attitude had suddenly changed.

“Grandpa?” Steven was still not sure if his ears were playing tricks on him.

“Steven, I asked you to find us another room. Why are you still standing here?”

“Sure, Grandpa! I’ll see to that right away!”

Soon, the room was ready.

Samuel, Steven, and Kenneth sat in the hospital conference room while Billy prepared some

refreshments for the three men at the pantry next door.

Kenneth placed both of his hands on top of his walking stick and asked, “Is it done by someone our

family has offended in recent years?”

“Nope.” Samuel rejected his grandpa’s guess at once. “Even though they had kidnapped Sophia, their

target was clearly Nat.”

“What!”

A deep crease appeared between Kenneth’s brows.

Before that, he was only aware that something had happened to Samuel and Natalie. As such, when he

heard that his precious great-granddaughter was also kidnapped, he was so shocked that his heart

almost stopped.

“What exactly is going on?” Kenneth asked.

“On the surface, it seemed as if Melissa had kidnapped Sophia to threaten Nat. However, Melissa is

merely a pawn. The person behind the scenes hid their identity well and did not leave any trace behind.”

Samuel paused for a moment before continuing, “I suspect there could be more than one person behind

it. There might be two, or even more. It’s possible that it’s someone close to us as they know how much

Sophia means to Nat.”

“Melissa? Yara’s half-sister?”

“Yup.”

“Even if they do not share the same mother, they are both from the Nichols family after all!” Kenneth

slammed his fist on the table in fury before saying, “No matter what, Sophia is still her sister’s daughter!

Even if there is a feud between her and Natalie, she shouldn’t have hurt Sophia!”
