Chapter 123
Six years ago, Kenneth had a car accident on the cityâs outskirts.
The massive impact caused his lungs to collapse.
Even though the driver had called for an ambulance immediately, the pain in his chest was so
unbearable that he began to have extreme difficulty breathing.
During the long wait for the paramedics, he had mentally prepared himself to leave this world.
It was at that time that Yara suddenly appeared beside him. Calmly and resolutely, she stabbed his lungs
with the tip of a fountain pen. As the blood that clogged his lungs was released, he could finally breathe
with ease.
Back then, both his chauffeur and butler kept criticizing her. Despite that, Yara focused on saving him
and buying him time to get to the hospital.
âOh, Yara. Youâre not only Franklinâs and Sophiaâs mother, but youâre also my life savior,â Kenneth said
with a doting gaze. âIt was you who gave me another chance to · live and enjoy the company of two
greatâgrandchildren.â
âDonât mention it, Grandpa,â Yara replied with an awkward smile.
Worried that Kenneth would notice her unnatural expression, she quickly lifted her teacup and took a sip
to hide her guilt.
Yara was not at all involved in the two matters that Kenneth had mentioned.
Both Franklin and Sophia were birthed by her twin sister. Even Kenneth was rescued by Natalie.
Five years ago, when she brought the twins to the Bowers residence, she had thought that Kenneth
would give her the cold shoulder. To her surprise, he began to call her his savior when he saw her.
At first, Yara was confused. However, after listening to the story, she decided to go with the flow and
claim the credit.
âDonât worry, Grandpa,â Yara replied with reddened eyes, looking as if she was on the
brink oftears. âNo matter what happens in the future, even if Samuel were to marry Natalie, I would still
treat you like my grandfather.â
âWhat nonsense are you spouting, silly girl?â
âGrandpa, I donât really have to marry Samuel.â Yara paused to sniffle before continuing reluctantly, âI just
hope that Samuel, Franklin, and Sophia can be happy. Natalie...â
âWhat about her?â
âA few days ago, she came to me and asked me to give her ten million if I want her to leave Samuel. I
admit that I was blinded by jealousy and immediately gave her a cheque. However, she did not keep her
promise after taking the money. She even told me that itâs Samuel who is clinging onto her and that she
canât do anything about
it.â
Yara buried her face in her hands as tears spilled from her eyes.
Seeing that, Kenneth slammed the table in anger. âHow bold of her to say such words! Who does she
think she is?â
âGrandpa, please calm down. Donât get too worked up. Itâs not good for your health,â Yara persuaded
insincerely.

In response, Kenneth pulled out a dark green box from his pocket. Inside, there was a red braided
bracelet.
The braceletâs pendant was a brilliant emerald piece of jadestone shaped like a flowing river.
âWhat is this, Grandpa?â
Even though Yara was knowledgeable about jewelry, she was not familiar with gemstones. Nevertheless,
even an amateur like her could see that the bracelet was priceless.
âThis pendant is the heirloom of the Bowers family.â Kenneth placed it in Yaraâs palm as he explained, âIt
is shaped like our familyâs emblem, and it has been passed down for centuries. Today, I gift this to you
to express my support. No one else in the world suits the role of the lady of the Bowers family more than
you do. No other woman
other than you can set foot into the Bowers family.â
As she listened to Kennethâs words and studied the pendant, a wave of happiness and excitement
washed over Yara.
The bracelet was more than just an heirloom. It also meant recognition and acknowledgment from
Kenneth.
Meanwhile, in the hospital, Natalie suddenly thought of something.
Itâs my first time meeting Old Mr. Bowers today, but why does he look oddly familiar?
