Chapter 136: Appearing in the Newspaper
In the hospital corridor, James and Harold were stunned when they heard Anna's declaration-like words. After reacting for a moment, Harold's expression changed from cloudy to bright. Finally, he stretched out his hand, pointed at Anna and started to curse.
"Where did this crazy kid come from? How dare she pretend to be the Viscount's daughter? Mr. James, let's notify the doctor and put her back in jail!"
Harold said to James beside him. James looked at Anna in front of him in silence for a while, then slowly replied.
"No need to inform anyone. Miss Anna is right. She is indeed the adopted daughter of Viscount Field. Not long ago, at the once-in-a-lifetime charity event in Igwynte, in front of many people."
"What..." After hearing James' answer, Harud was stunned for a moment, his pupils shrank slightly, and then he spoke loudly with obvious anger.
"Mr. James, didn't they say that the children adopted by Viscount Gary Field became mentally ill due to excessive shock? That's why we came to Igwinter. What's going on?"
James listened to Harud's words with a calm expression. He looked at Anna in front of him and asked in a gentle tone.
"Anna, has anything happened to you? I remember when I last came to see you, I was worried about when you would recover."
"Well... actually... actually I don't quite know what happened. I've been feeling dizzy for the past few days, but it seems to have eased a few days ago. When I woke up this morning, my head was very clear, just like before. The doctors today were all amazed at my condition. They all said it was the grace of the Virgin Mary." Anna recalled while rubbing her temple, and James nodded after seeing it.
"Mother's grace?... If that's the case, that's great. Haha... Anna, your recovery is the best news I've received in these days." James spoke with a thankful tone, but there was still a gleam in his eyes.
䀴Harud, who was standing by, saw that the girl's face was dark, her breathing was a little rapid, and her body was shaking slightly. She seemed to want to curse but after glancing at James beside her, she couldn't say anything. Finally, after taking a few deep breaths, he forced a stiff smile and spoke.
"Oh... Father, thank God that there is such a miracle on this earth. This must be God's reward for the good deeds done by the Viscount during his lifetime. Hehe... It seems that our trip to Igwinter was in vain..."
"Of course it's not a wasted trip, Lord Harud. At least I got to see your demeanor." James on the side said with a hint of humor. Hearing his words, Harud's mouth twitched slightly, and then he still responded with a smile.
"Haha, it's not in vain that Mr. James appreciates me. Well, it's time for me to leave now. Right now, the people of Igwinter are still in grief over the accidental death of the Viscount. I think this good news can help to dispel the grief a little."
As he spoke, Harud turned around and walked outside. Not long after he walked out, his face suddenly darkened.
"Hmph, a bastard who doesn't even have a drop of Field blood in his body wants to inherit the title? What a joke! Wait, this matter is not over yet...
"You little bastard, you've offended so many people when you wake up!"
With a gloomy look on his face, Harud walked quickly into the distance.
…
In the daytime, on a busy street somewhere in Igwinter, a barefoot newsboy was running on the street with a large stack of newspapers in his arms, shouting loudly as he ran.
"Extra! Extra! The merciful and kind Viscount Gary Field was unfortunately killed by a wolf pack! His seven adopted sons went crazy due to the shock, and only one miraculously recovered! Extra! Extra! The merciful and kind Viscount Gary Field..."
The newsboy kept shouting out the breaking headlines. The people around him came over in shock and started buying newspapers around him. After a while, all the newspapers in the newsboy's hands were sold out.
On the street, countless people gathered in twos and threes, looking at the newspapers in their hands and talking, with incredible expressions on their faces.
On the street, a black carriage was driving forward with the surrounding traffic. Dorothy sat in the carriage, muttering as she read the front-page news about Viscount Field being killed by wolves in the wild.
"Oh, it's finally in the newspapers... This time they don't say it was done by thugs? That's right... If there really are thugs who commit crimes one after another and are not caught, it will probably cause panic. After all, this time they have even gone to the Viscount's house."
After saying this, Dorothy closed the newspaper and began to think about Anna.
The reason why Field's children could not inherit Field's estate was because of the mental disorder caused by drugs and drugs. Because Anna only took the drug "The Song of the Lamb", Dorothy was able to remove it. When Anna's sanity returned to normal, her inheritance rights as Field's adopted daughter would take effect.
As long as Anna can inherit Field's estate and become the new Viscountess Field, it would be easy for the Field family to afford the medical expenses of the other children. This is how Dorothy solved the problem of the children's medical expenses.
Dorothy checked and found that under Prospect's legal system, adopted sons had the same inheritance priority as biological sons. Anna's adoption procedures had been completed, and she was now the only heir to the Field family. Her inheritance priority was so high that those distant relatives would never be able to win the lawsuit.
And there is another benefit for Dorothy to do this, that is, if Anna is developed into a believer who secretly believes in Akasha like Vanya, then she will be able to borrow the power of the Field family to a certain extent.
For example, you can borrow money from time to time when you are in financial difficulties.
Dorothy had checked and found out that the Field family was the largest landowner in Egwen County, except for the royal government, and an old traditional aristocratic family. If the previous Viscounts Field had been willing to spend more money to curry favor with the upper nobles in Tivian, they would have been promoted to earls long ago.
If Anna could accept Field's inheritance in its entirety, Dorothy felt that she could live without working hard for the rest of her life and just hang out with rich women.
Of course, at Anna's age, even if she inherits the estate, she will most likely be considered too young, and the main property will definitely be entrusted to other third-party institutions to manage. Only when Anna has full ability to act can she have full control of it. But even so, she should still have a lot of funds in her hands.
'So it shouldn't be a problem to borrow some money then!'
Dorothy thought so and now she was thinking about how to talk to her students in the future.
"But it's not impossible to say that the matter is 100% certain now. Once Anna wakes up, she will definitely become a thorn in the eyes of those who have the opportunity to inherit the estate. Her situation will be somewhat dangerous."
Dorothy continued to think, but she was not too worried about Anna's safety because someone would help her protect Anna.
"The sudden disappearance of Anna's poison recognition ability will probably make the Security Bureau feel something is wrong, so an observation and protection period will definitely be necessary."
Dorothy thought that if she cleared the poison for Anna, it would definitely alert the hunters, and they would probably arrange for surveillance, but this was actually a way of protecting Anna in disguise.
Under the eyes of the hunters, ordinary people can't achieve anything.
Of course, as long as there are no other extraordinary factors involved.
