Serenity nodded.Before they left, Lisa reminded Clara, “Clare, call us if you need anything. Don’t be shy.” “Yeah, sure.” Clara smiled gratefully with teary eyes. She knew that the Valors and the Whites had come together and helped the police locate her quickly. She was very grateful to have met such great friends in her life. After Serenity and Lisa left with their husbands, Clara looked at Wilson and whispered, “Do you know that I’m feeling more and more indebted to you? How could I pay you back, Wilson?” Their relationship was like a tangled yarn. Every time Clara thought that she was going to sort things out between them, it got messier. She was heartbroken while looking at Wilson who was covered in bandages. Maybe they were fated to stay in a complicated relationship. -When Mrs. Wells arrived with Yannick at the hospital, she saw Clara sitting beside Wilson’s bed, lost in her thoughts. She had known about the ordeal before she came here, so she wasn’t surprise
Mrs. Wells noticed that Clara was staring at Wilson blankly when she arrived at the hospital. If Clara had no feelings for Wilson, she wouldn’t have watched over him like that. There was hatred and love in her eyes. She knew that Wilson had already left a deep mark on Clara’s heart and life.Even though Clara denied having any feelings for Wilson, Mrs. Wells knew that Clara still loved him in her heart. -After they left, Clara remained in Wilson’s ward. He was still sleeping soundly. The doctor said that it was because he had lost a lot of blood. So, he wouldn’t be waking up so soon even if the anesthesia had subsided. It might take a few hours to a dozen hours for him to be awake. No one knew when exactly he would wake up. Wilson was still looking pale, and Clara was afraid that he could disappear at any moment. She reached out and caressed his cheek as if to make sure that he was still alive and breathing.Clara shivered at the touch. Wilson’s temperature was so col
Clara hurriedly stood up straight and awkwardly told the nurse. “He… He’s awake.” “I’ll inform the doctor to come over to give the patient a check-up,” the nurse said. Clara looked at her wrist which Wilson was holding after the nurse left. “Loosen your grip. The doctor will be here soon.” However, Wilson didn’t let go of her. It was the only way for him to be sure that she was safe and sound. “Are you sure that you’re alright?” “Yes. The baby’s fine too. Thanks for saving me and… our child,” Clara said. Wilson was surprised to hear her say “Our child”. It made him feel like they were back together. “It’s… great to… hear that,” he spoke with much difficulty because he had choked up. “Don’t talk too much, your neck is injured,” Clara said hurriedly.His injuries were worse than hers. Wilson obediently shut up, but he was still looking at her and didn’t let go of her hand. He was still holding onto her hand when the doctor gave him a check-up. Wilson’s post-surgery c
Clara could see the pain in Wilson’s eyes even though she had said that, and she suddenly hugged him to comfort him. She was also surprised by her actions when she came back to her senses. She had never expected herself to be able to hug Wilson again, but she did it. She didn’t know whether it was guilt or something else to make her hug him. “Wilson, you don’t have to beat yourself up about anything. I’m thankful that you had stored up this blood. If something happened to you, I…” Clara sobbed, and she couldn’t continue for a moment. “Luckily, you’re safe.” Wilson was stunned when Clara hugged him. It had been so long since she had taken the initiative to hug him. Wilson recalled the time when they were in love, she would always hug him and ask him to love her more. “Your love is not enough. I want you to love me a little more, Wilson. I’m a greedy woman. I won’t feel satisfied no matter how much you love me!” However, Clara told him that his love for her was enough now
Wilson was staring at her intensely. Clara quickly sat up with a blush. “I… I will be going back to my ward first. You should rest more.” After saying that, she hurriedly got out of the bed and left. Wilson looked at her until she completely disappeared from his sight before he lowered his eyes and looked at his hands.Although his hands were hurt, his heart was leaping with joy. Last night, he had shared a bed with Clara. It was a moment which he had longed for for years. It didn’t matter if Clara did that out of pity, he still cherished the moment with her. He didn’t sleep even after she fell asleep. He was afraid that everything would be a dream when he woke up. He had been telling himself to stay away from Clara and protect her from the shadows for the rest of his life, but there was a glimmer of hope for him to be together with her now. His expectations grew stronger when he saw her reddened face just now. He wondered whether they could fall in love with each ot
A person who had once helped her had now turned against her and harmed her. Clara couldn’t help but sigh at the change. After Yannick got off school, Mrs. Wells would bring home-cooked meals for Clara. Mrs. Wells didn’t need to prepare anything for Wilson because his liquid food was prepared by the hospital. When Wilson was able to get out of bed on the third day of hospitalization, he would often go to Clara’s ward to watch her eat and communicate with her in sign language.Clara had learned sign language because of Yannick. She could still remember it although Yannick had a cochlear implant and could communicate freely now. She hadn’t expected Wilson to know sign language, and he was pretty good at it. Both of them could communicate smoothly using sign language. Clara knew at once that Wilson had learned it because of Yannick. Wilson had done a lot of things quietly for Clara and Yannick over the years. She hadn’t noticed anything because he had never told her about it
“It’s fine. I want to know what he wants with me.” Clara asked the nurse to bring Harvey into her ward. She was surprised to see Harvey looking haggard and disheveled. He was wearing a wrinkled suit and no longer looked smart like the first time she met him.Harvey was anxious when he met Wilson and Clara. “Mr. and Mrs. Birch, my family had nothing to do with Queenie. We didn’t know anything and we are not involved in the kidnapping incident. It was Queenie’s idea to do that. I’ve already broken up with her before she targeted you, Mrs. Birch. You can do a fact-check on that.” “Mr. Powell, why are you telling me this? If you’re afraid of being affected by this incident, you should talk to the police, not us,” Clara said. Harvey knew that he wasn't arrested by the police because he had nothing to do with the case, but everyone in the business circle knew that Queenie was his lover. Many people in Solaria knew that Queenie was apprehended although the police didn’t report it.
Queenie was confident when she asked Harvey to bring her message to Clara.“As long as you do that, I have a way to be acquitted on all counts. When people see that, they will think that I’m innocent, and they won’t think that you’ve offended the Birch family. You can get back on track by then.” Harvey was quite skeptical of Queenie's words as she was involved in a serious offense, but he could only believe her for now. “Mrs. Birch, you will visit Queenie, right?” Harvey had anticipated that Clara would agree to Queenie’s request. As long as Queenie was acquitted, he wouldn’t have to suffer any more losses in his business.“Mr. Powell, whether I'm going to meet her has nothing to do with you. Please leave now,” Clara ordered. “But…” Harvey wanted to continue pestering Clara, but Wilson glared at him coldly. Harvey kept quiet and left as he was afraid that he would speed up his downfall by making Wilson upset. “You don’t have to go and meet Queenie. I will entrust the lawy
