Chapter 450

"Huh?"

Hector turned around and looked at Jessica, who reluctantly said, "You we

re in critical condition, so I became desperate and told him that as long

as he's able to treat you. I'll let the two of them meet."

"That's fine. Your intentions were good." Hector didn't get angry but res

ponded calmly instead. "I agree to let you two meet, but you'd better not

mess around. I'll have someone watching you. Got it?"

"Yes!" Dustin agreed immediately.

"Ruth, lead him to your sister," Hector instructed.

"Okay!" Ruth chirped.

Natasha has been waiting for this chance for ages, and today, the two wou

ld finally get to meet.

"Oh, that reminds me. Before leaving the room, Dustin halted and turned h

is head around. "Mr. Harmon, mystic poison isn't a simple issue. The pers

on who poisoned you probably has more in store. Be careful of those aroun

d you."

"Got it." Hector nodded. He has always lived in seclusion, so it wasn't e

asy to poison him. It was also worth noting that tomorrow was the annual

family gathering. As the head of the family, things would be thrown into

chaos should others find out that he had fallen ill

Therefore, it was hard not to have suspicions when the timing at which th

ings were happening was so

precarious.

"Jesicca, who do you think poisoned me?" Hector asked all of a sudden.

"Besides the Dark Lord, I can't think of anyone

else who is skilled at the mystic arts and holds a grudge against our fam

ily." Jessica responded in a serious tone.

The mysterious and powerful Dark Lord has always been a thorn in their si

de. The Harmon family has invested in countless men to get rid of him ove

r the years, but their efforts proved to be futile. Every year, core memb

of the Harmon family would mysteriously end up dead, and each time, clues

would point to the Dark Lord as

the culprit.

It was safe to say that one man alone had made

the entire Harmon family restless,

y and mentally.

"Yes He's the only one." Hector sighed tiredly. "Unfortunately, we can't

do much since he continues to hide

in the dark. That's why I have no choice but to force Natasha to marry in

to the Grant family."

"I understand." Jessica sighed as well. "We can only use the Grant family

's power to deal with the Dark Lord if

Natasha marries Tyler. Or else, our entire family will be doomed."

"I feel so sorry for Natasha. She has to sacrifice herself for our family

." Hector looked remorseful. As a father.

there was nothing he wished more than his children's happiness. Alas, som

e things were beyond his control.

"Natasha is a good girl. She'll understand why you're doing this," Jessic

a consoled him.

"I hope so." Hector sighed again. Suddenly, he thought of

something and asked, "What do you think of Dustin?"

"He's a genius who's skilled in both medicine and martial arts. He might

be the best among

his peers in Millsburg. Unfortunately, he still has a long way to go befo

re competing with Tyler Grant." Jessica gave her honest opinion. After kn

owing Dustin longer, she finally changed her opinions about him. However,

because of

his family background, there was still a gap between them.

"I wouldn't mind making him our son–in–

law if Natasha wasn't promised to another. Unfortunately, they were just

not meant to be," Hector muttered, troubled. "Try your best to help

him from now on. We owe him that

much."

"I understand," Jessica nodded.

The marriage between the two families had been set in stone, so it was a

pity that the fated pair could never get together.
