My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 922

“You know about Ernest’s illness as well, right? He needs to marry and have a child with you. He can only continue living after taking the blood from the child’s umbilical cord. This disease doesn’t happen to every generation. In the Turner family, once every few generations someone would get this disease. They want to continue their bloodline and hence they need to marry someone from the Fraser family to continue living on.”

It was a sickness that ran down in the family, and was written in the family history. It was something about a long time ago the ancestors of both families were a couple. A man from the Turner family got this odd disease and a lady from the Fraser family tried to rescue her lover by using her body to make the antidote. With that, she managed to rescue him.

According to the old family tree, the Turner family and the Fraser family used to be one big family. After a few branches here and there and more than hundreds of years had passed, they became two independent powerful families.

But because of the ancestors and the hereditary disease, once in a while, someone from the Turner family would get ill. Only a lady from the Fraser family could rescue them if someone from the Turner family was diagnosed with this disease.

Because of this, for the past hundreds of years, the Turner family and the Fraser family maintained a good relationship. Once every few generations, these two families would be connected by marriage.

Elder Kevin explained clearly and told Florence about the families’ relationship. She already knew a bit about this but wasn’t clear about the details.

Florence was confused after listening to him.

She asked, “Then, the Turner family shouldn’t ruin their relationship with the Fraser family. They should stay on the Fraser family’s good side no matter what. But right now, Theodore wanted to kill my brother. Ernest’s sickness is still not cured yet. There’s no good reason for him to do this.”

Florence thought that Theodore had made peace with them.

Ernest was the only person that could open the treasure vault and she was the closest to Ernest. No matter for what reason they had beef with each other in the past, she still had the upper hand and the Turner family shouldn’t do anything to them.

But Theodore stabbed her from the back suddenly.

Kevin sighed and frowned deeply.

He said grimly.

“For the past hundreds of years, the Turner family tried to keep a good relationship with the Fraser family. Even if they were at a disadvantage, they would try their best to maintain the relationship. But last night, the older people were looking through some documents and found out another truth about their ancestors.”

Kevin looked at Stanford briefly and said then in a lower voice. He was sighing.

“The documents had information that wasn’t present in the family record. The content was completely different and it was a diary from the ancestor of the Turner family. It mentioned that the ancestors of the Turner and the Fraser family weren’t a loving couple. They broke up and hated each other. Apparently, they had a love-hate relationship. After the man from the Turner family got poisoned, the lady from the Fraser family did use her body as a petri dish to create the antidote. But, the antidote wasn’t the only thing she created. She also created the poison and this poison was the reason for the hereditary disease. Thus, if the descendants of the Turner family who was ill didn’t marry someone from the Fraser family, they would die. And they wouldn’t be able to open the Turner family’s vault. It was like the Fraser family had put a curse on the descendants of the Turner family. With this, the Turner family would always have to be subjected to the Fraser family’s will.”

Florence’s mouth was open wide in shock. She didn’t expect that the truth behind the entanglement of two families would turn out to be like this.

A messy love-hate relationship.

So, for the past hundreds of years, even though the Turner family was on par with the Fraser family in terms of power, when it came to marriage, the Turner family always had the lower hand.

In the family record, only the love story was told. Since the ancestor of the Fraser family sacrificed herself for the ancestor of the Turner family, even when the descendants of the Turner family got sick, they wouldn’t feel too bad when they needed to beg the Fraser family for help.

But what was stated in this diary was different, it was about tricks and revenge instead of a love story. The Fraser family did this to the Turner family on purpose. To the Turner family, this had to be a huge betrayal.

“Even so, no matter how they didn’t like the truth, it was still a fact that they were restrained to the Fraser family and had to rely on us. Theodore know what’s best for them. They shouldn’t make us their enemy without a reason.”

Florence frowned as she analyzed the situation, “But now, Theodore wanted to kill my brother. Is there another reason for his?”

Kevin nodded, “You’re clever.”

He continued saying, “The mess that the ancestors left behind was just the start. The real reason behind the killing was… They solved the riddle their ancestor left behind and found out about a secret.”

“It seemed that back then, the ancestor of the Turner family worked hard for the rest of his life and managed to find a way to get rid of this disease that ran in the family. He successfully made an antidote. But before he could use it, the ancestor of the Fraser family knew about that and snatched it away. And now, the antidote is stored somewhere in the Fraser family’s house. If they can get their hands on the antidote , they can permanently get rid of this hereditary disease. Then the head of the family can open the treasure vault.”

Florence finally understood.

This was the chance for the Turner family to turn the situation around.

If they got the antidote, then they wouldn’t be restrained by the Fraser family anymore.

That was why Theodore decided to do this suddenly. Since Stanford was still at the Turner family’s place, Theodore took the opportunity to launch a surprise attack. He wanted to kill Stanford.

Stanford was an important figure in the Fraser family. He had the final say and the power. If he died, the Fraser family would be thrown into chaos and the Turner family could take this chance to attack them. They would probably win.

They could also destroy the Fraser family completely.

That's why they would attack fast and brutally without mercy.
