Chapter 72 The Pill She Used
The awkwardness was mirrored on Silas’s side as he wondered what his grandfather was
up to, and why he would choose such a blatant approach when he was doing it more
discreetly before that. “Alright, that will be all for today, as you definitely are
overestimating me. We will be taking our leave for now.”
“Sure, go on! I will be taking a nap now.” Old Man Nolan seemed amused, “Bring him to
me!” Silas gave his order to Connor as soon as they got out of his grandfather’s room.
While there were no visible injuries on Lily’s face when she was brought into the house,
her face was deathly pale as if having received a major shock
Meanwhile, Silas motioned for Gianna to take a seat as he took out a cigarette which he lit
and began puffing on it with a slightly lackadaisical manner. Using a casual tone for his

Fear seized Lily as she trembled while stuttering, “I-I added a single sleeping pill into his
porridge as I saw Master Merlin experiencing palpitations during his sleep. It wasn’t to hurt
him, so please forgive me, Young Master Silas! I know I made a mistake, and I will never
do it again!” Lily knelt before him while making kowtows as she apologized. “Are you sure
you added sleeping pills and not vasopressors?” A frown formed on Gianna’s face as she
asked. “No, I only gave him a sleeping pill.” Lily was still begging for forgiveness. Putting
on a steely expression, Silas said, “Master Merlin had always been ill, so you should never
give him any medication without the doctor’s instructions! How could you not know such a
simple thing?” “I know, which was why I only gave him one! My intention was to help him
sleep better.” “I suppose you’re not going to tell the truth.” Silas maintained a casual and
lackadaisical tone as he flicked the ashes off his cigarette into the ashtray. “I speak the
truth, Young Master Silas! You can do a test on the porridge, and you’ll know they are
sleeping pills!” Lily explained in a hurry. “Is your sleeping pill the reason that Master Merlin
slept till noon on the 7th?” Silas asked with a frown. “No, that has nothing to do with me. I
was worried that Master Merlin would have trouble sleeping while I was on duty last night,
so my intentions were pure.” Lily looked toward Silas carefully. However, the cold
expression on his face remained as he ordered, “Get her out of my sight, then break her
legs!” “Please forgive me, Young Master Silas! I know I made a mistake, and I will never
repeat it ever again!” Lily’s cries echoed, but Connor did as told without allowing her the
opportunity to beg for forgiveness. “Send the bowl of porridge my grandfather had for a
test.” Silas didn’t move from the sofa.
“Alright.” A curt response could be heard from Connor. Meanwhile, a frown could be seen
on Gianna’s face as she pondered, How could that be possible? Master Merlin’s blood

sleeping pill. However, she didn’t have time to mull on it any longer when Silas got up and
offered to send her home, to which she complied by taking her bag with her as she got
onto the car after a curt response. Their journey was spent in silence while Gianna was
feeling troubled. What’s the meaning of this? Was it because the results were out of his
expectations, or was it because he has doubts over my diagnosis? Gianna was never one
to internalize things, so she asked after casting him a few glances, “Do you suspect that I
made an error during my diagnosis?” Taken aback, Silas thought, Why would she ask that?
