Love at First Novel

Zachary didn't know how to respond for a moment. He and Duncan could only worry.

Meanwhile, in Jensburg, Clarissa did not take advantage of the night to attack Liberty.

Someone came from Wiltspoon: Clive Stone, the eldest son of the Stone family. Clarissa quickly received the news.

Mr. Dunn, Clarissa's assistant, entered her study. They discussed something privately, and no one else knew the details.

No more words were spoken that night.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

The next day, it snowed heavily in Jensburg.

When Kathryn woke up, she saw a white ceiling and smelled medicine. This wasn't her room. Pedro had sent her to the hospital.

She wondered what time it was. As her memory returned, Kathryn sat up quickly, but dizziness made her fall back onto the bed.

What kind of medicine did her mother give her? She was awake last night but felt dizzy and weak, falling asleep again soon. She didn't remember Pedro sending her to the hospital.

"Miss, you're awake."

The noise startled Pedro, who was lying on the sofa in the small hall. He rushed in and touched Kathryn's forehead, relieved that she didn't have a fever.

Kathryn was taken to the hospital last night. After some examinations and blood tests, the results were still pending. The doctor couldn't identify the medicine causing her weakness and dizziness. Pedro didn't dare to say Clarissa gave Kathryn the medicine, claiming instead that she took something by mistake.

Kathryn slept all night, and Pedro stayed outside. He also monitored the Farrell family's actions. Wiltspoon sent more people, including Clive Stone, to Jensburg.

Pedro realized Liberty didn't leave Jensburg as Kathryn had asked. As a descendant of the Farrell family, she showed courage. If he were in her place, Pedro would also choose to stay. Leaving would only provide temporary safety but not future security since the main threat remained unresolved. They needed sufficient evidence to resolve the problem.

Even though the previous head's assistant was alive, he might not have evidence of Clarissa's conspiracy. The assistant's claim of being hunted by Clarissa's men could indirectly implicate her, but Clarissa might retaliate. More witnesses were needed to prove Clarissa harmed the previous head of the family.

"Mr. Fraser."

Kathryn felt more comfortable lying down, so she didn't force herself to sit up. Grabbing Pedro's hand, she asked anxiously, "How is Liberty? Did my mother do anything? How long have I slept?"

"Ms. Hunt is still in Jensburg, staying at Fortress Hotel as usual. Madam Farrell did nothing, and you just slept for one night."

Kathryn was not surprised that Liberty stayed in Jensburg but was surprised her mother did nothing. Her C

mother had even drugged her, seemingly to attack Liberty. Upon briefly regaining consciousness, Kathryn had heard her mother saying in tears that she was going to do something unpleasant and didn't want Kathryn involved.

At that moment, Kathryn felt her mother still had some maternal love C for her, not wanting her to be involved in hurting Liberty. However, if her mother hurt Liberty, Kathryn would feel guilty and ashamed.
