Chapter 388
Yara tensed up instantly when she heard that. She was so terrified that she nearly dropped the bowl in her hand.
“… I don’t understand what you’re talking about, Grandpa… You should know very well who I am! Why would you ask me this all of a sudden?”
“Do you still remember the prescription the two kids gave me?”
Yara nodded. “Yes, I do.”
“I sent that prescription to my good friend Silas, and he couldn’t stop praising it for its flavor as well as medicinal properties. He even said it’s a very rare prescription! How did you not notice that? You don’t actually know traditional medicine, do you?” Kenneth questioned her sternly.
Although Yara had been studying it lately, she was far from being proficient in it.
With her level of knowledge, she couldn’t possibly tell the quality of a prescription at all.
She claimed it was nothing special because she subconsciously believed a five-year-old couldn’t possibly come up with anything great.
Da*n… I didn’t think Old Mr. Bowers would go and ask others about this prescription and grow suspicious of me!
Yara bit down hard on her lip at the thought of that. Her fists were so tightly clenched that her knuckles had turned white.
“Did you lie to me, Yara?” Kenneth asked with a disappointed look on his face.
“Yes…” Yara confessed to it with tears in her eyes.
Samuel never loved me, so losing Old Mr. Bowers’ support would leave me with no chance of marrying into the Bowers family! I guess I have no choice but to admit to it and try to make a comeback afterward…
“Yes, I lied to you. Because the prescription was given to you by children, I didn’t analyze the prescription properly and blindly stated my opinion. However, I will not put up with you doubting my capabilities as well as my loyalty toward you and the Bowers family simply because of that!”
