Chapter 387 Yara Gets Exposed

“That’s very difficult, Mommy!” Clayton protested from the side.

He didn’t want to learn medicine from Natalie because there were far too many things to memorize for herbal medicine and acupuncture. To make matters worse, there were no mnemonics to aid memorization. One would have to forcefully memorize everything and learn to apply their knowledge by themselves later on.

Natalie wasn’t surprised when she heard what Clayton said. “The Esoteric Medical Doctrine is just a classical piece of literature used for introduction to traditional medicine. If she replaces this difficult, then I think she should just give up on studying medicine.”

“Mommy, are you making this difficult for Sophia on purpose so she’ll quit on her own?” Xavian chimed in as well.

“If you insist on seeing it that way, then there’s nothing I can do about it,” Natalie replied with a helpless shrug.

Suddenly, Sophia walked up to her and said with a determined look in her eyes, “I’m going to memorize this, and I will learn medicine from you.”

Natalie didn’t say anything and simply took a sip of her orange juice.

I’m not going to make things easier for Sophia because there is no such thing as shortcuts when it comes to learning. If she can’t even handle a little suffering like this, then she isn’t worthy of me breaking the Bayer family’s rules.

Yara kicked the empty bottle beside her feet to the side as she slowly sobered up.

She then took a hot shower to wash the smell of booze off her body before putting on the latest coat from Hermès.

Having restored her usual graceful appearance, Yara went downstairs and saw Thomas waiting for her with a smile.

“Yara, why didn’t you tell me you were coming back?” he asked.

“It was a last-minute decision, so I didn’t really think about informing you. I’ll be keeping Old Mr. Bowers company in the hospital for the next few days, so I might be spending the night there,” Yara replied indifferently.

“While it is important for you to look after Old Mr. Bowers, you should also make sure to get enough rest. You’re going to marry Samuel sooner or later, so you shouldn’t have to do everything by yourself,” Thomas said while patting her on the shoulder.

Naturally, Yara liked the sound of that and nodded obediently.

“I know, Dad.”

“Oh, by the way…” Thomas rubbed his palms awkwardly as he continued, “If possible, could you have Old Mr. Bowers provide Dexmed Pharmaceutical some financial support? Competition with Dream Pharmaceutical has gotten pretty fierce lately, and we’ve been losing quite a lot of money.”

The smile on Yara’s face was frozen in place when she heard that.

So, Dad still sees me as a cash cow… He wants me to marry Samuel because of the benefits it would bring his business!

“Old Mr. Bowers likes you very much, Yara. I’m sure he’ll say yes if you ask him. After all, you helped give birth to Franklin and Sophia. That’s something no one else can take away from you.”

“That’s enough, Dad! I know what I’m supposed to do!”

Yara shouted and stormed out of the Nichols residence.

This family is full of cunning foxes! They’ve only been pretending to care about me for as long as I can remember. None of them actually did help me, and all they want is to leech as much profit out of me as possible! If Jennie took me to the countryside instead of Natalie back then, I wonder how different things would be for me now…

Yara headed over to a fancy restaurant and ordered a herbal soup for takeout. Instead of having them store it in a takeout container, she requested for them to store it in a vacuum flask that she had brought.

Upon arrival at the hospital, Yara entered Kenneth’s ward with the flask of herbal soup.

“Hi, Grandpa! I spent five hours making this herbal soup for you…” She opened the flask and served him a bowl of it as she continued, “Here, try some…”

Kenneth didn’t move and simply glared at her with those old eyes of his.

His gaze was so intense that it gave Yara goosebumps.

“G-Grandpa? W-Why are you looking at me like this? Did I do something wrong?”

“Yara, we have known each other for a very long time. I thought I understood you very well, but now, I realize you aren’t exactly the person I thought you were.” Kenneth pursed his lips and asked after a brief pause, “Do you really know traditional medicine?”
