Chapter 263

“Refusing, are you?” Carl Miller chuckled. “In the current situation, do you even have the luxury of saying no?”

“Do you realize how precious Yana’s identity is now? If anything happens to her, who knows how the King and Queen of Tonico might react? They could blame Coraland for their beloved daughter’s plight.

The diplomatic relations between the two countries could deteriorate rapidly over this incident. In the worst case, it might even spark a war! Susan, can you bear such a responsibility?”

Carl pointed accusingly at Susan, his words ringing with righteous indignation.

Susan replied coldly, “Oh, so you’re saying that if I don’t donate blood, it could lead to widespread devastation?”

‘Good that you understand.” Carl nodded smugly. “Susan, if you have an ounce of sense, you’ll realize that you have to donate, whether you want to or not. Not only should you donate, but if you’re smart, you’ll do it cheerfully! If the King and Queen of Tonico learn of your willingness, they might even owe you a favor. Otherwise… well, offending people is one thing, but if you cause trouble for Ben, how will you live with yourself?”

Susan stared emotionlessly at Carl..

Her hand slowly clenched into a fist.

For many, many years, she had regarded the Miller family as her own family. Even with Yana’s capriciousness. Even with Carl and Jane only ever demanding her blood donations.

She had always believed that it was because of Yana’s frailty that her parents favored her.

Though their favoritism might have been a bit excessive.

But she had thought it was understandable.

But what about now?

Carl had just revealed to her.

That Yana wasn’t even his biological daughter?

A sense of irony struck Susan, and she burst into laughter.

Carl narrowed his eyes. “What’s so funny!”

Susan looked at him calmly. “Do you remember what you told me the first time you asked me to donate blood to Yana?”

“What was said? Such an old matter, who can remember? Susan, let me tell you, bringing up the past is useless, You must donate your blood,” Carl Miller stated emphatically.

Susan chuckled. “You said, Yana and I were twins, and because I took all the nutrients in the womb, Yana was born with that illness. So, it’s my responsibility to take care of her health, right?”

“Maybe that’s what was said, so what?” Carl was growing impatient.

Susan’s smile held a hint of irony. “But you just said Yana isn’t your biological child. Carl, tell me, how did I take Yana’s nutrients then?”

Carl was momentarily stunned, unable to speak, guilt written all over his face.

That had been the reason Susan willingly donated blood in the past, a reason she never doubted.

But if Susan and Yana were not twins, then that reason was a lie.

Susan’s smile grew brighter. “Carl, you used that excuse to make me willingly donate blood to Yana for so long! Are you sure I’m your biological daughter?”

Susan’s question was filled with anger, and Carl’s first reaction was guilt!

Had Susan discovered something?

No, he couldn’t let Susan ponder this any further.

“Dear Susan.” Carl sighed. “How can you be so heartless? Exactly because Yana is someone else’s child, we need to take even better care of her. Otherwise, how can we explain it to her real parents when they come looking? I know I’ve wronged you in the past. But your body has always been stronger than average, donating a bit of blood won’t hurt!”

Carl looked at Susan meaningfully. “One must have a kind heart in life.”

“Do you believe that yourself?” Susan scoffed.

What kind of person Carl was, others might not know, but how could she not?

Such a man, talking to her about kindness, was laughable.

“That’s the truth, why don’t you believe it?” Carl was getting angry and frustrated. “Susan, I’m not here to discuss with you, I’m here to order you! You’ve donated blood so many times before, and today, you must come with me to the hospital to do it again.”

Susan narrowed her eyes. “What if I refuse?”

Carl just sneered and pulled out a handkerchief soaked in chloroform.

Susan’s pupils dilated in shock, and before she could react, Carl lunged forward with a sinister smile, covering her mouth and nose with the handkerchief.

Seconds later, Carl Miller released his grip, leaving Susan unconscious.

Looking at the comatose Susan, Carl’s eyes flickered with thought.

His previous actions couldn’t withstand scrutiny.

If Susan woke up and thought things through, she might start doubting her own origins.

His lies, inherently flimsy, couldn’t stand up to such examination.

The best solution was to ensure Susan never woke up again!

Carl looked at Susan, his flickering eyes slowly becoming firm.

Susan didn’t need to wake up.

Even if Ben became furious, Carl now had the King of Tonico as his support. What could Ben do to him?

Compared to the fallout of Yana’s exposed identity, everything else seemed trivial.

As for ensuring Susan’s eternal sleep, as long as she was sent to the hospital and the operating table, there would be a lot of places for medical treatment!

With this sinister resolve, Carl’s gaze turned malevolent.

To ensure privacy for Carl’s conversation with Susan, Mr. Hale had already kept his distance.

Carl had already found someone to wait at the door in advance.

He carefully avoided Mr. Hale’s direction and took Susan to his car.

The car headed straight for the hospital.

Carl didn’t even allow Susan to meet Alexander, taking Susan directly to the operating room.

Having chosen this hospital for Yana’s delivery, Carl had already ensured his influence there.

But when he brought the unconscious Susan, the doctor hesitated..

“Mr. Miller! This is Mrs. Landor! She’s not conscious right now. If we forcibly take her blood and she later holds us responsible, we can’t bear the consequences.”

Carl smiled reassuringly. “What’s the rush? She’s my biological daughter. We’re just taking some blood, not her life. Even if she wakes up and disagrees, what can she do to her own father? Don’t worry, I’ll take full responsibility for anything.”

“But still…” The doctor was still hesitant.

Carl, growing impatient, said, “Did you see the people outside? Even Uriah rushed over here! Anaville’s police force has the hospital under tight security. Do you know why?”

The doctor was momentarily confused, not really knowing the reason.
