Chapter 358
Who Provoked You Emily kept quiet as she thought about it. “I noticed that Christopher wasn'tpoisoned overnight when I was here last time. It's just that I couldn't tell you back then because Finnand Tracy were present. Since you said they already left a few days ago, then they're not the onesbehind this because this needle mark is only one to two days old,” Kathleen explained. Emily wasvery confused. “Then, who did it?” She couldn't think of anyone else. After a pause, Kathleencontinued, “Mrs. Morris, have you forgotten about someone who cares a lot about Christopher?”Only then did realization dawn on Emily. “Astrid!” “Was she here for the past two days?” Kathleenqueried. “Yeah, she comes every day,” Emily confirmed,nodding. Kathleen said coldly, “If she didn'tdo it, then one of the housekeepers did.
This is all I can think of.” Emily's eyes were burning with hatred as she spoke. “All the housekeepersare senior citizens, and I know their background clearly. There's no way they'd be bribed. It'sdefinitely Astrid! We received news some time ago that the Holloway family is most likely the oneswho hurt Christopher back then!” Kathleen wasn't surprised by that. She felt something was off withAstrid when she met the latter last time. “However, if there isn't concrete evidence, there's no waywe can get her to admit it.” Furrowing her brows, Kathleen thought about it. “Ah! I have an idea.”Emily's eyes lit up. “What?” Kathleen walked over to Emily's side and whispered something to thelatter. After hearing what Kathleen said, Emily nodded. “Okay! We'll do as you say!” Kathleen thenlooked at the time. “It's getting late, Mrs. Morris. I have to go now.” Emily tried to get Kathleen tostay. “Kate, you can stay here tonight since it's late.”
“It's fine. My kids are home, so I want to go home,” Kathleen explained. Emily nodded. “Okay. Drivesafely.” “Mm.” With that, Kathleen turned to leave, going downstairs by herself. Coincidentally, rightthen, Aaron entered the mansion. Ever since something had happened to Christopher, Aaron wasthe only one who took care of the company’s matters. He always went home late when he was busy.The moment he saw Kathleen, he was slightly taken aback. “Kathleen?” Kathleen respondedindifferently, “Mr. Morris.” Aaron heard about Kathleen from Emily, and he knew that Emily heard itfrom Wynnie. However, he didn't expect to meet Kathleen so soon. “Goodbye,” Kathleen said andcontinued walking toward the door. Aaron was still stumped, as he initially planned to see her off.After that, he went up the stairs and entered Christopher's room. At the moment, Emily was wipingChristopher's face. “Darling, why did Kathleen come?” he queried, puzzled. Emily wore a cold look.“Can't she come?" He was startled by her reaction. “Are you okay?”
Turning to him, she answered, “Let's move out. If you feel bad about leaving your father behind, I'llmove out with Christopher. I don't want to stay here anymore.” Aaron approached her. “Darling,who made you angry?” Suddenly, Emily burst out crying. She pulled Aaron over and showed him theneedle mark on Christopher's toe web space. “Look at this!" Aaron frowned. “What's that?” Emilysobbed. “This is why Christopher can't wake up! This needle mark is fresh, which means thatsomeone has been poisoning him continuously.” “What?” Aaron was startled. “Besides, there's noway that our housekeepers are the ones who did it, so I'm sure it's Astrid who has been poisoninghim! I tried to stop her from coming countless times, but she'd use your father's words against meand continue showing up here every day. If no one knows about her motives, they would think sheloves Christopher, but the truth is she doesn’t want him to wake up. I'm sure that he knowssomething. That's why she’s afraid that he'll wake up,” she said aggrievedly. Aaron patted hershoulder gently. “If that's really the case, I won't let the Holloway family off. However, we needevidence in order to sentence her for that.” “I don't care. I'm moving out either way! I've hadenough of this! I won't let anyone interfere with Christopher's life! No one can decide who heshould love or marry, including you!" Emily yelled and pushed Aaron's hand away. After that, sheturned around and left. Aaron sighed quietly. He understood how she felt. Everything was fine withChristopher before the Holloway family came along.
How could he not be infuriated? Besides, he didn’t do everything he could, since he always turned ablind eye to whatever Felix did. Back then, Christopher loved Kathleen. If it wasn't for Felix, there wasa high possibility that Christopher and Kathleen would've gotten married by now. Had that been thecase, none of that would've happened. Emily's right. Christopher has the freedom to marry whoeverhe wants. We have no right to interfere. The next day, at the dining table in the Morris residence,Aaron needed to announce something. Clearing his throat, he started, “Dad, we've decided to moveout.” Felix's face sank instantly. “What did you say?” Aaron explained, “I'm not asking for youropinion. I'm just letting you know, officially. Since you like Astrid so much, and there's no wayChristopher's marrying her, why don't you marry her instead? We don't care who you leave yourinheritance for, anyway.” Bang! Felix slammed the table. “How dare you! Do you know what you'resaying?” Startled, Emily looked wide-eyed at Aaron. What's wrong with him today? Could it be thathe actually listened to what I said last night? She lowered her head in silence. Felix flicked his eyesbetween Aaron and Emily. Felix said quietly, “Astrid, she—" Aaron snapped coldly, “Dad, Christopherwill never marry her. Even if he wakes up, it's impossible as well. Besides, you heard about the news,right? I have nothing else to say if you still think that the Holloways are innocent. However, don’tyou dare try anything with Christopher, or I'll sever ties with you!” “You!” Felix was infuriated. Aaronstood up and looked at Emily. “I'm going to the company now. You can start packing first. Once Iget off work in the afternoon, I'll make arrangements to pick you two up.” Emily nodded. “Okay.”With that, Aaron turned and left the scene. Felix stared at her unhappily. “What did you say to him?"Emily stood up. “I didn't say anything.” Right when she was ascending the stairs, Felix asked in acold tone, “Emily, you'd better think this over carefully. If we chase Astrid away, who will care forChristopher when we get older?” “You don't have to worry about that,” she replied indifferently."Samuel is my nephew. He'll make sure Christopher is taken care of.” After that, she walked upstairs.Felix gritted his teeth as he yelled at Emily's retreating figure, “You'd better think it over properly!Christopher and Samuel almost had a fall out because of Kathleen last time! Are you sure Samuelwill care about Christopher?” Emily stood on the second floor. “Samuel's not a heartless person! I'mhis aunt! There's no way he'll only stand by and do nothing!” With that, she turned and left as soonas she could, not wanting to talk to Felix any longer. He's already senile! If he's clear-headed, howcould he let Finn return to that family? Because of that, Aaron had to deal with another enemy likeCaleb in the mall.
