The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 349

Chapter 349

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?”

Lia 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.
