How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband

Chapter 195

Stuart's face fell.

Morwenna was the kindest soul you could ever meet.

Always optimistic and cheerful, she saw the good in everyone and everything.

When she said she liked him, what she liked was just a facade he put on.

He felt like a rat lurking in the dark sewers, shamelessly reaching for the sunlight.

And now, with Yara speaking out, what would Morwenna think?

Instinctively, Stuart hid his blood-stained hands behind his back.

He had always embraced his darker, bloodthirsty side. The sight of blood only spurred his excitement and madness. This was the first time he ever felt the need to hide it, fearing judgment.

Norbert, concerned, glanced at Morwenna beside him and barked at Yara, "Shut it."

Phineas and Sabrina exchanged glances, sensing an opportunity.

With her eyes swollen from tears, Sabrina softly said, "Stuart, we'll pay back the money, okay? You've made your point. Let me take Reuben to the hospital, yeah? After all, we're family. We don't want this ending in a tragedy, right?"

Even if it meant her son could never return to the Hetfield family, getting him medical treatment was what mattered now.

Stuart held his tongue, not uttering a word.

Morwenna stepped forward from behind Norbert, locking eyes with Stuart, she asked, "Did you do this, Stuart?"

Yara let out a mocking laugh, "Do you even need to ask? Look at his hands, they're covered in blood. Finally seeing him for who he really is, huh? If I were you, I'd talk some sense into him. We're all Hetfields here, why take it to such extremes?"

Stuart gave Yara a sharp, threatening look. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Yara quickly shut her mouth.

Morwenna ignored Yara, focusing only on Stuart.

His heart sank. He hadn't yet fixed the mess at the fish stall, and now Morwenna had seen his cruel side.

Facing Morwenna's honest gaze, Stuart admitted with a suppressed grunt, "Yes, it was me."

"Was it him trying to tamper with Norbert's medication?" she pressed.

"Yes."

Morwenna asked no more questions and walked towards Reuben.

As everyone watched, unsure of what she intended, Morwenna kicked Reuben in the ribs, eliciting a sickening crack.

The blow was so sudden and fierce that Reuben, despite being unconscious, jolted awake from the pain.

Then, with a fierce grip, Morwenna hauled Reuben up and punched him squarely in the face.

Reuben, barely conscious, spat out blood mixed with two teeth.

Yara was frozen in shock. Sabrina's tears stopped.

They had hoped Morwenna would restrain Stuart, but Morwenna's actions were just as ruthless as Stuart's.

After attacking Reuben, Morwenna turned to the Hetfield family members. Her delicate, lovely face now carried a coldness mirroring Stuart's as she said, "I think Stuart wasn't harsh enough. It's totally not okay to mess with Norbert's meds!"

Norbert was whom Morwenna cared about the most.

Even more than she cared for Stuart.

What she felt for Stuart was a fondness.

But Norbert, he was her rock, just like Melvin had been to her.

Back when Melvin fell ill and resigned to his fate, he had said there was no point in wasting money on treatments that wouldn't work. Better to use it for something meaningful.

As a young, impoverished orphan, she felt helpless, there was nothing she could do but watch.

She watched as Melvin used his savings to help poor kids.

She saw adults, fully aware of Melvin's condition, still reach out for his lifeline.

And she watched Melvin slowly succumb to his illness.

Back then, she was too young to do anything.

But now, she had grown. She would not let Norbert meet the same fate as Melvin.
