Chapter: 1132

Matteo let out a sigh and patted Sean on the shoulder.

“Even though Nancy is frail, she's Kayla's favorite. She's a piano prodigy, you know. Your mother has always been on the lookout for someone to carry on her legacy."

Kayla had been a musical prodigy herself. She was admitted to the prestigious Curtis Institute of Music at just 15. She learned from some of the most respected maestros. She had earned nominations for the Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Soloist in Classical Music over ten times, and even made it as a finalist in the celebrated magazine, Gramophone.

Every performance Kayla gave was a sellout; she was celebrated far and wide as a piano prodigy.

This incredible woman, once a sensation in the music world, hung up her piano career after marriage and gradually faded from the music scene.

Sean understood why. Kayla loved the piano dearly, but after having her child, she developed stage fright and became anxious about performing in public.

Also, Kayla battled a mild but persistent depression that impacted her career in music.

“Nancy is her favorite and the most gifted girl she has ever met."

Matteo and Kayla had traveled the world, met countless people, and experienced many things. Of all the people they met, Nancy was the only one Kayla felt a connection with and brought home.

Matteo was aware of all the underlying details. Whatever Kayla wanted, he supported and let her have her way.

Sean fell silent. He had always been acutely aware of the responsibilities that came with his position as the heir of the Scott family. Sean worked hard because he wanted his parents to have a better life.

Sean looked away. "I see."

After inspecting Nancy, Jaxson stood up and declared, “It seems like she's taken something she should never have. You need to get her to the hospital."

Phillip acted fast. "I've already called the family doctor. He's on his way."

In the meantime, Jaxson kept giving Nancy water to drink, troubled by her faint cries.

Jaxson gave Sean a wink and let out a yawn.

“Mr. and Mrs. Scott, I'm a bit tired today. I'm going to bed."

Preoccupied and not really in the mood for conversation, Kayla continued to give Nancy water as she held her.

“Thanks, Jaxson. You go get some rest," she replied.

With a shake of his head, Jaxson walked away. It surprised him that life at home had become increasingly challenging for Sean.

Shortly after, Phillip ushered in the family doctor. The doctor attended to Nancy and eventually set her up with an IV.

"It appears Miss Chase may have ingested a mild aphrodisiac.

Thankfully, it wasn't much. She should recover well with some rest and the infusion," the doctor explained.

Kayla's brow furrowed as she turned to Sean. “Didn't Nancy attend the welcoming party with you? How on earth could she have ended up taking that drug?"
