Chapter 388 Comeback
Yara tensed up instantly when she heard that. She was so terrified that she nearly dropped the bowl in her hand.
“I… I don’t understand what you’re talking about, Grandpa… You should know very well who I am! Why would you ask me this all of a sudden?”
“Do you still remember the prescription the two kids gave me?”
Yara nodded. “Yes, I do.”
“I sent that prescription to my good friend Silas, and he couldn’t stop praising it for its flavor as well as medicinal properties. He even said it’s a very rare prescription! How did you not notice that? You don’t actually know traditional medicine, do you?” Kenneth questioned her sternly.
Although Yara had been studying it lately, she was far from being proficient in it.
With her level of knowledge, she couldn’t possibly tell the quality of a prescription at all.
She claimed it was nothing special because she subconsciously believed a five-year-old couldn’t possibly come up with anything great.
Da*n… I didn’t think Old Mr. Bowers would go and ask others about this prescription and grow suspicious of me!
Yara bit down hard on her lip at the thought of that. Her fists were so tightly clenched that her knuckles had turned white.
“Did you lie to me, Yara?” Kenneth asked with a disappointed look on his face.
“Yes…” Yara confessed to it with tears in her eyes.
Samuel never loved me, so losing Old Mr. Bowers’ support would leave me with no chance of marrying into the Bowers family! I guess I have no choice but to admit to it and try to make a comeback afterward…
“Yes, I lied to you. Because the prescription was given to you by children, I didn’t analyze the prescription properly and blindly stated my opinion. However, I will not put up with you doubting my capabilities as well as my loyalty toward you and the Bowers family simply because of that!”
Kenneth stared at her in confusion. “ Yara, what are you…”
“You saw how I saved you when your heart disease was triggered. I saved your life just like the two kids did, so how could you doubt me over a mere prescription?”
“Then why haven’t you started your own medical center as I asked you to?” Kenneth asked.
“I still have to inherit my family’s pharmaceutical business, Grandpa! Of course, I never planned on letting my talent for medicine go to waste. I want to produce much better medicine like my granddad did so I can contribute more to this world! I don’t want to set up a medical center and spend my life treating bigwigs from the upper classes of society.”
Yara was able to make all of that up because she suddenly recalled what Thomas said. Not only did she cover up her lack of medical knowledge, but she even managed to change Kenneth’s mind.
Yeah, I still remember the day she saved my life. She had selflessly stayed by my side throughout the past five years… She’s a genuinely kind person, so I shouldn’t doubt her over a mere prescription! Yes, she made an error in judgment, but it happens even to the best of us!
With that in mind, Kenneth let out a huge sigh and said, “I’m sorry I was wrong about you, Yara.”
Noticing her opportunity, Yara said, “I don’t blame you, Grandpa. Speaking of my family, I have a presumptuous request to make. Dexmed Pharmaceutical currently requires a huge amount of money for the development of new drugs, but… we don’t have that kind of money, so we haven’t been able to make any progress…”
Kenneth was able to read between the lines and understood what she meant.
“Don’t worry. I’ll provide the financial support you need.”
“Thanks, Grandpa! Here, you should try this herbal soup I made before it gets cold.”
Yara went back to smiling again as she handed Kenneth the bowl of soup.
I can’t believe I actually made a comeback! Old Mr. Bowers nearly exposed me there, but I was able to turn the tide around! He now trusts me even more than before and feels guilty about doubting me. Thanks to that, we will have the financial support we need!
