Chapter 72


    The awkwardness was mirrored on Eugene’s side as he wondered what his grandfather was up to, and


    why he would choose such a tant approach when he was doing it more discreetly before that.


    “Alright, that will be all for today, as you definitely are overestimating me. We will be taking our leave for


    now.”


    “Sure, go on! I will be taking a nap now.” Old Man Nn seemed amused.


    “Bring him to me!” Eugene gave his order to Connor as soon as they got out of his grandfather’s room.


    While there were no visible injuries on Lily’s face when she was brought into the house, her face was


    deathly pale as if having received a major shock.


    Meanwhile, Eugene motioned for Olivia to take a seat as he took out a cigarette which he lit and began


    puffing on it with a slightlyckadaisical manner. Using a casual tone for his interrogation, he asked,


    “What is the drug that you added into my grandfather’s food?”


    Fear seized Lily as she trembled while stuttering, “I-I added a single sleeping pill into his porridge as I


    saw Master Merlin experiencing palpitations during his sleep. It wasn’t to hurt him, so please forgive


    me, Young Master Eugene! I know I made a mistake, and I will never do it again!” Lily knelt before him


    while making kowtows as she apologized.


    “Are you sure you added sleeping pills and not vasopressors?” A frown formed on Olivia’s face as she


    asked.


    “No, I only gave him a sleeping pill.” Lily was still begging for forgiveness.


    Putting on a steely expression, Eugene said, “Master Merlin had always been ill, so you should never


    give him any medication without the doctor’s instructions! How could you not know such a simpleN?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.


    thing?”


    “I know, which was why I only gave him one! My intention was to help him sleep better.”


    “I suppose you’re not going to tell the truth.” Eugene maintained a casual andckadaisical tone as he


    flicked the ashes off his cigarette into the ashtray.


    “I speak the truth, Young Master Eugene! You can do a test on the porridge, and you’ll know they are


    sleeping pills!” Lily exined in a hurry.


    “Is your sleeping pill the reason that Master Merlin slept till noon on the 7th?” Eugene asked with a


    frown.


    “No, that has nothing to do with me. I was worried that Master Merlin would have trouble sleeping while


    I was on dutyst night, so my intentions were pure.” Lily looked toward Eugene carefully.


    However, the cold expression on his face remained as he ordered, “Get her out of my sight, then break


    her legs!”


    “Please forgive me, Young Master Eugene! I know I made a mistake, and I will never repeat it ever


    again!” Lily’s cries echoed, but Connor did as told without allowing her the opportunity to beg for


    forgiveness.


    “Send the bowl of porridge my grandfather had for a test.” Eugene didn’t move from the sofa.


    “Alright.” A curt response could be heard from Connor.


    Meanwhile, a frown could be seen on Olivia’s face as she pondered, How could that be possible?


    Master Merlin’s blood pressure reached 180 mmHg that day, and the numbers wouldn’t have soared if


    it was a sleeping pill.


    However, she didn’t have time to mull on it any longer when Eugene got up and offered to send her


    home, to which sheplied by taking her bag with her as she got onto the car after a curt response.


    Their journey was spent in silence while Olivia was feeling troubled. What’s the meaning of this? Was it


    because the results were out of his expectations, or was it because he has doubts over my diagnosis?


    Olivia was never one to internalize things, so she asked after casting him a few nces, “Do you


    suspect that I made an error during my diagnosis?”


    Taken aback, Eugene thought, Why would she ask that?
