Chapter 966:
Nearby, Maggie watched intently, her gaze filled with hopeful expectation. Softly gripping Aitana’s hand, Maggie whispered,
“How are you feeling p>
With a faint smile and her eyes gently opening, Aitana appeared more at ease.
“I’m feeling a lot better now. This medicine is really doing its magic p>
Yelena, unable to contain her amusement, chuckled lightly.
“It’s no wonder neither of you ended up as actors—your acting is downright awful p>
Miracles didn’t happen in an instant; real cures took their time to manifest.
Exchanging knowing looks of feigned defeat, Aitana and Maggie couldn’t help but smile sheepishly. “We just wanted to cheer you up a bit, knowing how hard you’ve been working,” Aitana admitted with a soft laugh.
Returning the smile, Yelena responded warmly, “My happiness comes from seeing you healthy p>
True to her words, the medicine was beginning to take effect. Aitana had been silently enduring her discomfort lately, her furrowed brow a testament to her ongoing pain.
Now, as her expression softened and her brow relaxed, the relief was undeniable—wasn’t this the clearest sign yet that she was finally feeling better?
Unspoken words hung in the air, binding them in silent agreement.
Austin lingered by the bedside, his gaze fixed on Aitana as she nestled into the pillows, a dose of medicine soothing her into calmness. Relief blossomed within him, warming the corners of his heart.
He was well aware of the painstaking care Yelena had invested in perfecting the medication. Approaching her with soft footsteps, he murmured his gratitude, “Thank you, Yelena p>
Yelena offered a gentle smile, a subtle shake of her head dismissing the need for thanks. “No need for that,” she whispered back. “We’re all simply doing what’s right. Once Aitana recovers, joy will surely follow for everyone p>
A glimmer of tenderness flickered in Austin’s eyes as he nodded in agreement.

Yet, a nagging doubt lingered—would everyone truly rejoice at Aitana’s recovery?
His eyes drifted toward the window, where the night stretched vast and enigmatic. Yet, despite the enveloping darkness, a warmth cradled his heart—a reminder that with family at his side, any challenge could be faced with unity.
The medicine took effect, and before long, Aitana’s breathing steadied as she slipped into slumber. Maggie delicately draped a blanket over her, tucking the edges with care before she, along with Yelena and Austin, quietly exited the room.
They paused in the hallway, a moment of shared silence enveloping them as they soaked in the fleeting peace.
A crease formed between Maggie’s brows as a sudden thought struck her. “By the way, Aanya…” she began, her voice trailing off with a hint of concern.
Aanya’s arrival today undoubtedly meant that Leonel was aware of the medicine.
Could this imply that he was also behind Aitana’s poisoning?
Yet, in the absence of proof, it all remained mere conjecture.
Maggie exhaled deeply. “In families like ours, incidents like these are commonplace. No one is entirely virtuous or wicked. Today people may be adversaries, tomorrow they could join forces against a shared foe p>
Maggie turned to Yelena, her expression apologetic. “Yelena, I regret that you’ve been exposed to such intrigue before you’ve even truly become a part of our family p>
Maggie’s concern was palpable; she feared Yelena would reconsider her decision to join the Barton family after witnessing its darker aspects.
