The blood was crimson red.
Instantly, it caught everyone’s attention.
Clutching her abdomen, Lia fell to the ground with a contorted expression. She was still coughing out
blood.
What’s going on? Why would she puke out this much blood all of a sudden?
Concerned, Natalie wanted to help Lia up and take her pulse to figure out what had happened.
However, before she could touch Lia, the latter avoided her.
She stammered, “D-Don’t touch me.”
“You will die at this rate,” Natalie stated.
Unable to take it any longer, she couldn’t be bothered about Lia’s rejection and took her hand by force.
Natalie took Lia’s pulse, and she was horrified by the results. She stared at the woman in disbelief.
Just when she wanted to ask Lia what she ate, a towering figure dashed toward her to pull her away.
“What did you do to her?” Lionel roared, “Why is this happening to my sister?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLia took in a sharp breath and pointed weakly at Natalie. With much difficulty, she huffed, “Lionel, she
d-did this to me,”
“Me?”
Subconsciously, Natalie stepped back in horror.
I did nothing to her, so why would she accuse me?
Suddenly, realization struck Natalie. She finally understood why Lia apologized to her earlier. Lia must
have already known she would puke out blood and planned to pin the blame on me.It seemed like Lia
approached me on purpose.
Regardless, Natalie was caught off guard.
“If anything happens to my sister, I will drag you to hell!” Lionel threatened Natalie before scooping Lia
up into his arms. Shakily, he assured, “Lia, I’m going to send you to the hospital now. Don’t be afraid.
I’m here, and I won’t let anything happen to you.”
Lia nodded and snuggled in Lionel’s embrace.
Meanwhile, Kenneth, Samuel, Silas, and the rest finally rushed over after noticing the commotion. After
all, it was a banquet held by the Bowers family, and they were responsible for everyone’s wellbeing.
Kenneth’s face darkened when he saw the pool of blood on the floor. “What happened?”
Keeping it short, Lionel summarized, “Mr. Bowers, I have to send my sister to the hospital and have no
time to call the police. Please do me a favor and detain this woman. Lia already told me that she’s the
one who did it, and I’m sure the police can find some evidence when they come over.”

By that time, Lia was already unconscious and had blood smeared all over her body. It was a terrifying
sight to behold.
With Lia in his arms, Lionel left in a hurry.
Kenneth leaned on his walking stick for support and glared at Natalie.
“How dare you attack Lia from the Johnson family at the Bowers family’s banquet? Do you even care
for our family? I can’t believe you made her puke that much blood!”
“It wasn’t me.” Natalie paused momentarily before adding, “I will follow them to the hospital.”
However, Yara blocked her path.
“What’s wrong? You almost killed Lia, but you refuse to admit it? What’s more, you have the audacity to
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmgo to the hospital with them? Do you want to see her die before you?” Yara did not seem to be in
shock. In contrast, it was as though she knew about it beforehand, and there was a smug look on her
face.
Natalie could roughly make out the situation.
Nonetheless, it was not the time to push the blame now that Lia’s life was in danger.

In fact, Natalie reckoned that Lia had no idea that she might lose her life because of this ploy.
After all, when Lia was puking out blood, she did not seem like she was putting up an act.
Besides, she said sorry from the bottom of her heart. Even if she did not apologize, Natalie could never
bring herself to sit back and do nothing since she was a doctor.
“Why do you care?” Natalie ignored Yara.
With a small gesture from Kenneth, the security guards surrounded Natalie to detain her.
“I’ve already called the police. For the time being, you’re not allowed to go anywhere else.” “Even if you
do not have a motive, there is evidence against you. You need to stop with your excuses!” Kenneth
sternly scolded, “Natalie, the Bowers family organized this banquet. There’s a limit to how insolent you
can be, so show some restraint. Now that a possible murder has occurred, I can’t let you just leave like
that.”
