Chapter 55 Regret Believing In You

Natalie stood up straight and frowned at the man.

In response, the well-dressed, middle-aged man stroked his chin and flashed a sinister smile.

While she was thinking about how to get out of the situation unscathed, Shawn took a few steps forward and stood in front of her.

“Uncle Charlie,” he greeted.

Charlie Watsons nodded and scoffed, “Are you the one who brought this ugly woman here and give her the permission to put so many needles on your grandpa? What are you up to?”

As soon as he finished his words, Chris Watsons chimed in from behind, “As the eldest grandson of the Watsons family, you hope your grandpa dies so that you can take over everything. Am I right? How could you do this, Shawn? How could you be so heartless?”

The wives of Charlie and Chris were not easy to deal with as well. They started to voice their criticism too.

“Eldest grandson? Says who? Don’t you remember who his mother is?”

“That’s right. Who does he think he is? It was Old Mr. Watsons who took him seriously when he was still in good health.”

Although Shawn heard all of that, he did not give any response.

Standing behind him, Natalie could see nothing other than his back.

Even though she could not see the facial expressions of those people, she could imagine their disgusting faces as they said those words.

Old Mr. Watsons is still alive, but these people are already getting impatient and want to get a share of the family assets. What a bunch of a*sholes!

Facing the elders who were giving him a hard time, Shawn remained composed. “This is all a misunderstanding. I hire this doctor to treat Grandpa.”

Slightly stunned, Natalie knew the man was actually not dumb. At least he knew she was on his side.

“She’s here to treat him? This woman?”

“Are you kidding me? How old is she? She’s way too young and lacks experience.”

“Shawn, this lady is obviously full of nonsense. How can you be so foolish and listen to her?”

“What if your grandpa’s health condition takes a turn for the worse after you let her treat him?”

Shawn pushed his gold-rimmed glasses up and uttered coldly, “There are several types of toxins in Grandpa’s body. I wonder who are the ones who poisoned him?”

Several types of toxins?

The two couples’ expressions immediately turned pale upon hearing that.

Four of them glanced at one another nervously for fear that their malicious intentions might be exposed.

At that moment, no one in Max’s bedroom dared to speak.

Barf!

Lying on the rosewood bed, Max suddenly opened his mouth and spat out large mouthfuls of black blood, staining the silk bedsheet.

Everyone in the room was caught off guard, including Shawn.

He turned around to look at Natalie with his face darkened. “What is happening? Why did my grandpa vomit blood? Didn’t you say that everything is going to be okay?”

Disregarding the filth, he carefully wiped the corner of Max’s lips. However, the old man was still vomiting blood.

Meanwhile, the rest of Watsons family snickered inwardly.

“See? I told you this woman is a quack. Do you still not believe me?”

“This is not treatment but murder!”

“Shawn, you’re the one who hired this female doctor. Look at what happens to your grandpa now. You have to take responsibility for that.”

“The Watsons family doesn’t have an unfilial descendant like you. You don’t deserve to have the right of succession!”

Shawn did not listen to what those people said. Instead, he fixed his gaze on Natalie.

I trusted her wholeheartedly. However, she set me up.

He shot Natalie a deadly stare as if he wanted to skin her alive.

Natalie, who became the target of the Watsons family, looked at Shawn and said calmly, “I didn’t lie to you. It’s normal for your grandfather to vomit blood. As I said, I can cure him.”

Right after she said that, the rest of the Watsons family laughed mockingly.

“Are you sure it’s normal? He’s vomiting blood!” Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“Call the cops! This woman needs to be arrested!”

“He is dying. I’m going to contact the funeral parlor and make the necessary arrangement.”

“Yeah. I’ll contact the lawyer to make some clarifications about the will. A murderer like Shawn who’s killed his grandfather shall not be given the right of succession.”

Meanwhile, the commotion caused by Yandel also caused the police to arrive at the entrance of the Watsons manor.

One of the police officers pointed his gun at Yandel. The latter knew being reckless was not the best option, so he decided to surrender. The police then arrested him and escorted him to the second floor of the manor.

Not knowing what had happened, Yandel was shocked to see Max lying in a pool of blood. What is this? It’s so scary!

Stunned, he hesitated before querying, “Boss, you failed to save him?”

Shawn glanced at Yandel and finally came to a realization. It turns out this man and the woman who treated Grandpa are actually partners in crime! He purposely distracted us away by causing the commotion downstairs. I shouldn’t have trusted her just now.

Rage and hatred filled Shawn’s mind instantly. He turned to Natalie and said, “I shouldn’t have believed you.”
