Chapter 72 The Pill She Used
The awkwardness was mirrored on Silas's side as he wondered what his grandfather was up to, and
why he would choose such a blatant approach when he was doing it more discreetly before that.
âAlright, that will be all for today, as you definitely are overestimating me. We will be taking our
leave for now.â âSure, go on! I will be taking a nap now.â Old Man Nolan seemed amused. âBring
him to me!â Silas 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, Silas motioned for Camila to take a
seat as he took out a cigarette which he lit and began puffing on it with a slightly lackadaisical
manner. Using a casual tone for his interrogation, he asked, âWhat is the drug that you added into
my grandfather's food?â
Fear seized Lily as she trembled while stuttering, âI-1 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 Silas! I know I made a mistake, and I will never do it again!â Lily knelt
before him while making kowtows as she apologized. âAre you sure you added sleeping pills and
not vasopressors?â A frown formed on Camilaâs face as she asked. âNo, I only gave him a sleeping
pill.â Lily was still begging for forgiveness. Putting on a steely expression, Silas said, âMaster 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 simple thing?â âI know, which was why I only gave him one! My
intention was to help him sleep better.â âI suppose you're not going to tell the truth.â Silas
maintained a casual and lackadaisical tone as he flicked the ashes off his cigarette into the ashtray.
"I speak the truth, Young Master Silas! You can do a test on the porridge, and you'll know they are
sleeping pills!â Lily explained in a hurry. âIs your sleeping pill the reason that Master Merlin slept till
noon on the 7th?â Silas asked with a frown.
âNo, that has nothing to do with me. I was worried that Master Merlin would have trouble sleeping
while I was on duty last night, so my intentions were pure.â Lily looked toward Silas carefully.
However, the cold expression on his face remained as he ordered, âGet her out of my sight, then
break her legs!â
âPlease forgive me, Young Master Silas! I know I made a mistake, and I will never repeat it ever
again!â Lily's cries echoed, but Connor did as told without allowing her the opportunity to beg for
forgiveness. âSend the bowl of porridge my grandfather had for a test.â Silas didn't move from the
sofa. âAlright.â A curt response could be heard from Connor. Meanwhile, a frown could be seen on
Camilaâs 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 Silas got up and offered to send her home, to which
she complied by taking her bag with her as she got onto the car after a curt response. Their journey
was spent in silence while Camila 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?
Camila was never one to internalize things, so she asked after casting him a few glances, âDo you
suspect that I made an error during my diagnosis?â Taken aback, Silas thought, Why would she ask
that?
