The Mafia Heiress's Comeback: She's More Than You Think novel Chapter 327

Chapter 327 Was There Really Still A Chance

“If Kashton meant to hurt your grandfather, he had plenty of chances to do it quietly. He never had to drag Joseph into it. Your grandfather was already slipping away because of the earlier poisoning, Why risk drawing attention by acting again? All they had to do was let nature take its course,” Edwin said calmly.

It only took a few words for the truth to settle in.

Everyone saw it now–Edwin was right.

There was no reason for Kashton or Joseph to make Calvert’s condition worse.

“And beyond that, they weren’t even here when your grandfather was poisoned two weeks ago. They couldn’t have done it,” Edwin continued.

“I get it now.” Lucien nodded, finally realizing that Kashton and Joseph couldn’t be the culprits.

“I’m truly sorry, I shouldn’t have doubted either of you.” He apologized to Kashton and Joseph.

“That’s alright. What truly matters now is that Calvert’s condition has entered its final stage. There’s nothing else I can do.” A weary sigh slipped out of Joseph.

Any hope he had clung to had slipped away.

Suddenly, he thought of someone.

A name flashed through his memory. Someone he had once turned to at Ilasa Medical Academy.

Maren.

“We might still have a chance! The patient is not beyond help just yet!” A spark lit in Joseph’s eyes as Maren

came to mind.

Given what Maren was capable of, there just might be a chance to move forward.

“Really?”

The sorrow hanging over Lucien and the others lifted in an instant as they sat up with sudden hope.

Across the room, Higgs, Nadia, and Leon panicked. Was there really still a chance?

“There’s someone who can help. Ms. Morgan from Ilasa Medical Academy. If she takes the case herself, there’s a genuine shot at saving him,” Joseph explained.

“Wait, are you talking about that genius from Ilasa?” one of the doctors asked, intrigued.

Everyone remembered the stories Kashton told–how Joseph only got into Ilasa after being inspired by a

remarkable expert.

And there was only one person Joseph ever referred to with that level of admiration.

Faces lit up, except for Higgs, Nadia, and Leon.

“Yes! That’s exactly who I mean!” Joseph confirmed with a nod

“That’s incredible!” Lucien said, clearly taken aback. Joseph’s recommendation had come out of nowhere. Still, this was their last shot, and he couldn’t afford to let it slip.

“She’s in the country, right? Hopefully not too far from here?” he asked.

The world was vast. Who knew where the expert might be?

“No, she’s in the city. In fact, she left my house just before you showed up,” Joseph replied to Lucien.

“Even better! Let’s head out and bring her here right away,” Lucien urged, barely able to contain himself.

“Wait, let me give her a call first.”

Joseph didn’t waste another second. He and Maren had only just exchanged numbers, and with Calvert’s life hanging by a thread, he made the call right away.

At that very moment, Maren and Sawyer had just wrapped up dinner. He was driving her home when the phone rang. The second she heard Joseph’s voice and understood the situation, she agreed without hesitation. A part of her was curious to see whom Higgs had tried to stop Joseph from saving.

Getting a bit of extra time with Maren was something Sawyer didn’t mind at all.

Rather than heading back home, they spun the car around and sped off toward the hospital without a second

thought.

“It’s okay now. Ms. Morgan said yes. She’s on her way as we speak.” After hanging up, Joseph turned to

address the room.

A wave of relief washed over Lucien. The possibility of her refusing had weighed heavily on him.

“Could she be the one who stopped you from taking out Joseph?” Nadia asked Higgs in a whisper.

They had heard everything Joseph had said.

The timing lined up. Ten minutes before Lucien had reached Joseph’s place, Higgs‘ men had tried to take Joseph’s life.

Ms. Morgan’s presence could only mean one thing–she was the one who had saved Joseph.

“Wouldn’t surprise me,” Higgs replied, his voice quiet but steady. Despite everything, he didn’t seem rattled. He knew how lethal the second dose had been. As far as he was concerned, the job was already done.

In his mind, the moment that final poison hit, it was game over.

Even so, curiosity crept in. Who exactly was this woman? And how did she take out elite bodyguards with leaving a trace?

Silence blanketed the hospital room once again.
