Chapter 487

After Eliana was taken away, there was also news from the hospital. The doctor said that Harriet’s life

was out of danger now.

As soon as Maurice and Earle got the news, they immediately rushed to the hospital.

When they got there, a group of people gathered at the bedside of Harriet, who was still unconscious.

Earle approached the doctor with a stern look and asked, “Doctor, how is she?”

“Miss Stone is in a coma because of acute allergy. But she is fine now.”

Maurice frowned upon hearing this. He couldn’t help asking, “Acute allergy? What is she allergic to?”

“She’s allergic to Chinese roses,” Kelvin, standing at the side, immediately cut in. “I’ve already

investigated it. There is an unremarkable Chinese rose in the bunch of roses that was given to her.

Harriet has been allergic to it since she was a child. Someone must have done this on purpose.”

The doctor said solemnly, “If that’s the case, I advise you to call the police right away. Allergy can be

serious, and it might kill her. This might be attempted murder.”

As soon as the word “murder” came out of the doctor’s mouth, Maurice and Earle fell silent.

“Yes, we have to call the police. We have to find out who wants to kill Harriet.”

At this critical moment, they heard a groan from the bed. Harriet woke up.

“Harriet, you are awake!”

When Kelvin shouted, everyone turned to look at Harriet.

“Miss Stone, how are you feeling now?” Earle asked in a rare soft tone.

“I’m fine, Mr. Moran. Thank you.”

Harriet smiled weakly. Her face was still pale.

“Miss Stone, I’m sorry that Maurice failed to protect you. But don’t worry, we will investigate this matter

thoroughly,” Earle said solemnly.

Harriet shook her head weakly. “It’s okay, Mr. Moran. You don’t need to call the police. It’s not Maurice’s

fault, and I don’t want the reputation of the Moran family to be damaged.”

Her considerate words, coupled with her pitiful look, made Earle like her even more.

“Good girl, just have a good rest first. The Moran family will definitely give you an explanation for this.”

Then Earle turned to look at Maurice and said, “Why don’t you say something to comfort Miss Stone?”

Maurice listened to Earle. He sat on the edge of the bed and held Harriet’s hand. He even bent over to

get closer to her.

As his face got closer and closer, Harriet’s heartbeat went wild, and her face flushed.

Her effort to carefully set up a trap was not in vain. This time, she seemed to finally move Maurice.

But unfortunately, Maurice moved his face away at the last moment. He whispered in her ear, “Stop

acting. I know this is all your plot.”

With these words, the romantic scenes Harriet formed in her mind instantly disappeared.

She was shocked. How did he know?

Her face darkened as she secretly clenched her fists.

It couldn’t be.

Maurice couldn’t possibly know so fast. He must be testing her.

Harriet suppressed the fear in her heart and pretended to look at him innocently.

Then she said, “Mr. Moran, what do you mean? I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”

Maurice snorted coldly. No matter how good Harriet’s acting skills were, he still caught the panic in her

eyes just now.

He guessed it right.

“Just stay here while I find out the truth.”

Maurice had gotten the answer he wanted, so he let go of Harriet’s hand immediately and stood up

expressionlessly.

Earle had no idea of what Maurice and Harriet talked about. But he was gratified to see that Maurice

began to care about Harriet.

“Miss Stone, we won’t bother you anymore,” Maurice said to Harriet. Then he turned to Earle and

urged, “Grandpa, let’s go.”

Maurice and Earle then left the ward.

Watching them walk out of the door, a weak but complacent smile appeared on Harriet’s face.

Even if Maurice knew about it, she still won today.

She risked her life for this.

Kelvin and Harriet exchanged glances.

Now was the best time for them to pursue victory.
