Chapter 292: Chapter 292: Is Stepdad Going to Die? (Part 2)
Mrs. Hawthorne looked displeased and couldn’t hold back any longer. "Casper North, I am your elder!"
"Maybe my step-grandfather could say that, but not you." Casper North glanced sideways, nearly questioning why Mrs. Hawthorne was even talking.
Without sparing Mrs. Hawthorne a glance, he leaped onto Elias Hawthorne’s back, demanding a piggyback ride.
Old Mrs. Hawthorne couldn’t help but smile widely as she watched, "Casper and Shea are wonderful children, truly wonderful."
Aunt Rivers praised as well, "Yes, with these two children, the house has become lively, even the eldest is different now."
"It’s mainly because my granddaughter-in-law made good choices."
Listening to Old Mrs. Hawthorne continuously praising Raina North and the two kids, Mrs. Hawthorne couldn’t take it anymore and said, "Mom, Vincent fainted because of these two kids!"
Old Mrs. Hawthorne’s face turned stern immediately, "Who allowed you to call me Mom! From start to finish, I only have Autumn as a daughter-in-law!"
With that said, she didn’t even glance at Mrs. Hawthorne and left, supported by Aunt Rivers.
Since Casper and Shea were fine, there was no need to stay any longer. As for her muddle-headed son, he would have to fend for himself.
...
The Hawthorne Medical Wing.
Raina North carefully examined the condition of the rabbit in the cage.
Leila Foster asked eagerly, "Raina, how is it?"
"The rabbit has recovered."
"Oh yeah!" Leila Foster jumped with joy at the long-desired answer, eagerly saying, "Then let’s extract the medicine again and use it on the young master."
Leila said this and impatiently went to prepare the herbs, then earnestly brought over a pair of specially-made silkworm gloves for Raina North.
"Hold on for now."
"Why wait?" Leila Foster asked utterly puzzled, "It’s already the fifth day, and the young master doesn’t have much time."
"Leila, are you sure that the new medicine we created this time is truly safe?"
"It’s safe, isn’t it? The little rabbit has already returned to normal."
Raina North pursed her lips and said, "But rabbits and humans are ultimately not the same."
Despite Jasper Hawthorne’s storming in one day, questioning her, whether using these extremely toxic substances to create a compound would cure Baby’s poison or result in a fatal shot.
At the time, Raina confidently assured Jasper Hawthorne that Baby would recover.
However, she had always carried Jasper’s questions in her heart. Having practiced medicine for so many years, she deeply understood one truth: nothing in this world is one hundred percent certain.
Even a genius like her master eventually perished from his poison.
The more she thought about it, the more anxious Raina North became.
She could not accept Baby becoming a second master.
Leila, seeing Raina in such a state, felt a pang of anxiety, "Then... what should we do?"
Before Raina could reply, an urgent call came from outside the door.
"Mommy! Mommy!"
Raina flinched.
It was Casper.
She stepped out, and a small figure darted towards her like a cannonball.
"Casper." When Raina saw Casper North’s face covered in blood, her heart skipped a beat, and she anxiously asked, "Casper, what happened to you? Where are you hurt? Let me check!"
Saying this, she pulled Casper North closer to check his condition.
"I’m fine." Casper North pushed away Raina’s hand, urgently saying, "You should quickly check on my step-dad. On the way here, he suddenly vomited blood and then passed out with his eyes closed! Mommy, check if step-dad is dying!"
Raina was shocked, allowing Casper North to drag her outside.
Before she could get outside, Elias Hawthorne was carried in by Brolin.
