"Claire, you gave us a scare! How are you feeling now?" Lea placed a large bouquet of lilies on the table while asking with concern. Claire's boss, Brian, stood beside her. Although he hadn't spoken, Claire knew that he was also very worried about her. Claire was very moved by their actions and replied embarrassedly, "Thank you for your concerns. I'm fine now. The doctor said I just needed a good rest."She had spoken to the doctor, and what she said was indeed true. Everyone was relieved to hear that she was speaking the truth. One of the workers, recalling the various incidents that had happened in the past few days, angrily said, "That guy, Trevor, is such a monster. He kept finding ways to harm you. Thankfully, you got luck on your side!" It was only then that Claire realized she didn't know the progress of the situation. She only remembered that she had recently exposed the evil deeds of the Anderson Group publicly, and she'd had an accident on her way to the construction sit
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 784 Do You Accept?
She knew she had misunderstood Javier. It turned out he was the one who helped her, so she felt a bit guilty. She silently hoped that Javier would come to visit her again, so she could apologize to him sincerely. Javier did not actually take off since he left Claire’s room. Instead, he had been wandering nearby the hospital, not wanting to go far. He was still furious, but he was also concerned about Claire. He wanted to go back and apologize, but his pride wouldn't allow him to do so. At the same time, he was afraid of seeing Claire being cold to him again. Both of them were in a predicament, and neither wanted to back down.Soon, it was already noon. Claire's spirits were starting to wane. After all, the effect of the anesthesia had not completely worn off, so she hadn't been able to have a proper meal, and her body was gradually becoming unable to cope.Brian felt somewhat amused when he saw Claire in this state. He flashed a rare smile and teased Claire, saying, "I didn’t expe
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 785 Ruined Everything
Time flew by, and it was already evening. Claire was placed in a private room, undisturbed by anyone, so that she could rest well. As the effects of the anesthesia gradually wore off, Claire's wounds began to ache and become unbearable. She couldn’t sleep and soon broke out in cold sweat from the pain. Claire knew this was the hardest part to endure, so she gritted her teeth tightly, refusing to make any sound. However, as the pain intensified it became harder to ignore. Unconsciously, Claire moaned in pain and squirmed on the hospital bed. Due to her injuries, she didn't dare move too much. As she underwent the agonizing and unbearable pain, images of Javier's cold and stern face flashed through her mind. The look on his face when he was angry, how indifferent he could be, and his occasional smile and concern for her. All the memories and incidents related to Javier played repeatedly like fragments in Claire's mind, causing her emotions to become mixed and complicated for a while.
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 786 Don’t Worry
After Javier left, Claire was resting alone in the hospital. A doctor came regularly to give her a checkup. In fact, most of her body was covered in bruises, but now it had improved significantly. Claire was finally ready to be discharged after a few days in the hospital. At noon, Thomas heard that Claire had been hospitalized again, so he hurriedly called her."Claire, I heard you're in the hospital. Is that true?" Claire was moved to hear Thomas' concerned voice over the phone. She chuckled lightly and reassured him, "I'm fine, Thomas. It’s nothing serious, so don’t worry." However, Thomas didn't give in so easily, he pressed on. "Claire, you don’t have to force yourself. Where are you now? I want to visit you."Claire knew how stubborn he was. He would only worry more if she didn’t allow him to come. So, Claire told him the hospital and ward she was in. It didn’t take him long to hurry over once hanging up. Thomas was slightly relieved to see that she did not suffer any majo
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 787 Are You Jealous
Moreover, this was actually Thomas' second time meeting Javier. He recalled the first time they met, he had just exited the bathroom when Javier grabbed him by the collar and demanded to know where Claire was. At that time, he was distracted so he didn’t take a good look at him. He merely knew this was a powerful man. However, he felt somewhat ashamed now that he saw him up close because of Javier’s good looks. Javier's looks were on a completely different level. Thankfully he had abandoned the feelings he once had for Claire long ago. Now that he knew who Javier was, he had no choice but to comply with Claire and greet him. "Hello, Mr. Marquez."Unexpectedly, Javier barely acknowledged him and let out a cold hum in response. Thankfully he did not say anything else, he simply sat on the sofa and picked up a magazine to read. Claire and Thomas exchanged a puzzled glance, both confused by Javier’s actions. As a man, Thomas could completely understand why Javier was acting this way.
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 788 I Did It for You
Hattie turned bitter at the thought and she gritted her teeth in frustration. Then, she clenched her teeth and said, "I didn’t expect Claire to get so lucky and survive. This is so frustrating." She had planned this for so long, but she never imagined that the woman would be so fortunate as to survive. Yvan watched her carefully, and the glimmer of determination in his eyes became even more apparent. Her anger seemed to have subsided after a moment, and Yvan couldn’t help but ask, "Hattie, is revenge all that you want?" He watched her nervously as he asked this question, his eyes filled with confusion. Hattie immediately froze when she heard him. She glanced at him furiously and barked, "What do you mean? Are you not going to help me now? You’ve promised me! How can you back out now?"Her plan to take revenge would be prolonged if Yvan gave up. Yvan quickly denied it, saying, "No, Hattie, I just feel bad seeing you so upset all the time. That’s why I want to share your burden wi

Hattie didn’t find his sarcastic remarks annoying, instead, she put on a warm smile and poured him a glass of red wine after gesturing for him to sit down."Morrow, we are childhood friends, aren’t we? We haven't really talked much before, so I thought it would be a good opportunity to catch up since I don't have anything else going on right now."Morrow always appreciated the initiative of a beautiful woman who approached him, even though he wasn't particularly interested in Hattie."Hattie, you're too kind. What old memories can we possibly have? I prefer reminiscing with women in bed. As for other matters, you understand what I mean, right?"Hattie froze when Morrow teased her shamelessly, but she swallowed her anger, and forced a smile, saying, "Morrow, you’re so funny. I only ended up in this situation because of Claire." Morrow sneered inwardly but showed no mercy with his words, "Hattie, I don't agree with you. You would’ve never become Javier's wife even without Claire."
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 790 A Foolish Fantasy
"Alright, Hattie, you don’t have to point out everything so clearly." Hattie shrugged without a word, but she felt a sense of satisfaction inside. She hadn't expected that this man would take the bait so readily with just a little instigation from her. Initially, she had assumed he would be much harder to handle. However, he was truly far too inferior compared to Javier. To even dare dream of competing with Javier for control of the entire Marquez family was simply a delusion!As Hattie realized this, she couldn't help but laugh and nodded in agreement. "Morrow, I've said my piece. As for the rest, it's up to you, and has nothing to do with me."Morrow snorted disdainfully, knowing that Hattie would toss him aside as soon as possible."Don't worry, I'm not that foolish to do anything to Claire at this moment. But there's one thing you said that I do agree with. I'll go and check on her. No one can stop me, right?"However, he wouldn’t dare go beyond that line even if he had the

Hattie looked extremely sincere in her pleading. However, when Sofia did not answer or even look at her, she began to lose confidence. Sofia's face was impassive. "Hattie, I've known you since you were a baby, but I can't help you with this. Please leave." She did not want to discuss the other stuff with her yet.However, Hattie was obstinate. She looked at her with tears in her eyes. "Aunt Sofia, please, please help me. I know it's not much trouble for you, but it can save our entire family. You've always been so kind to me. I promise that the Snyder family will repay you for your kindness!"Hearing this, Sofia felt uncomfortable. She raised her head and gazed at her coldly. "In this case, Hattie, I'll tell you why I won't help you," she said impatiently. "Do you really not know what you've done? I won't say it, but I know exactly what you've done to Ollie. You deserve everything that's happening to you now."Hattie widened her eyes, partly in shock and partly in disbelief when she h
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 912 I Will Repay You
Javier paused outside the door and waited until Claire left before giving his subordinates a look. They understood perfectly and grabbed Chantelle at once.As Javier had ordered, they were to send this woman abroad as far away as possible and leave her to fend for herself.Outside the hotel, Claire looked up at the sky blankly. She felt like a huge burden had been taken off her shoulders; for the first time in a long time, she felt relieved of all the hurt that she had suffered five years ago. Turning back, she told Javier, "Thank you, Javier, for allowing me to face my fears. I feel so relieved now."Javier's expression fell when he heard her thank him. He tapped her on the nose fondly in exasperation. "What are you talking about? Of course, I won't let those who hurt you get off so easily. They have to pay for what they have done."Claire was touched to see him so protective of her. A surge of warmness spread in her chest as she gazed at him fondly. "I'm lucky to have you, Javier."T
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 911 Disappointed
That was all Armand could think of.In just a few minutes, Chantelle admitted to everything she had done to Claire over the past few years.From drugging Claire out of jealousy and getting a stranger to assault her to getting Liam to banish her abroad, she admitted to everything. Claire knew some of them, but not all; only now did she know the extent of her crimes.When she was finished, everyone in the room sported conflicting expressions. Liam looked especially hurt and remorseful. It turned out that his younger daughter had always been evil, and he had wrongfully blamed Claire for all these years.Armand, on the other hand, didn't know how to feel about all this. He glanced at Claire and Javier. He felt that he really didn't deserve Claire, after all he had done. He had thought Chantelle to be kind and naive and had trusted her blindly to the point that he almost married her.Thank goodness the wedding didn't happen. Even so, he had lost Claire thanks to this. It made him regret eve

If Chantelle told Claire the truth about what happened that night, then there would be nothing stopping her from having a happily-ever-after with Javier.Back then, driven by jealousy, she had drugged Claire and put her in Javier's bed without their consent. She had planned all of this out herself meticulously. She had gotten Armand to catch Claire in the act so that he would call off the engagement and be with her instead. Liam banished Claire abroad to fend for herself. However, if she had known that the random stranger she had arranged to assault Claire was Javier, she never would've done it.Even so, it was a perfect plan worthy of a blockbuster film. Claire and Javier never found out the truth, nor did they know that Ollie was actually Javier's son.It took them two years of skirting around each other only to find out that they were meant to be in the first place. Now that the truth was out, Claire would not settle for prison as a punishment for the cause of all her suffering. Sh

After a lot of persuasion, Claire and Sofia finally managed to get Ollie to agree to stay in the hospital for another three days.Of course, three days weren't enough. Sofia and Pedro tried everything they could to convince Ollie to stay in the hospital for as long as possible.However, Ollie was smart enough to see through their ruse. He felt guilty when he saw them trying to cajole him into staying, so one day, after another attempt, he spoke up hesitantly, "Grandma, Grandpa, I'm glad that you're trying to keep me happy, and I'm touched that you're concerned about me, but I've been in the hospital for too long and it's making me sad. I promise that I'll listen to the doctor even when I'm at home, okay?" Under his bright, clear gaze, Sofia's protests died in her throat, leaving only exasperation and wordless sorrow.Ollie was too mature for his age. How could they not love him?Therefore, Ollie got his wish and was discharged three days later. In order to take care of Ollie, Sofia an

Hearing this, Javier narrowed his eyes. He felt like he was on the verge of grasping something, but the feeling passed too quickly for him to register it. Softening his tone, he said, "There's no need to be scared, Ollie. We're all right here with you. We'll protect you no matter what happens. Can you tell me what you remembered?"Ollie might have regained his memories from before he'd been drugged.Buoyed by the encouragement, Ollie thought hard for a moment and said with a frown, "I … I remember a lady beating me. She locked me up and didn't let me eat anything while saying bad things about me and Mommy all the time. I wanted to fight back, but I was too weak. After I tried to run, she caught me and beat me up some more and forced me to eat food off the floor." Toward the end of this, Ollie burst into tears.Claire's heart hurt for him. She wanted to hug him, but Javier got there first."Tell me, Ollie, do you know her name?" Javier's voice was thick with tears as well. "Do you remem

With that, Henry threw a glance at the rest of the employees and hurried them out. He also dragged Raina and Thomas out with him, leaving only Claire and Javier's parents to keep him company.Since it was only a small procedure for Javier, he did not get a lot of anesthesia. He tried to wriggle his body a little. Realizing what he was doing, Claire quickly helped him sit up.Javier did not look like he had just come out of surgery. Thanks to his strong physique, he looked fine.Seeing this, Sofia finally eased up a little on her worries. "How are you feeling, Javier?"Javier shook his head. "I'm fine, Mom. I just need some rest. How about Ollie? Did they say when he'll wake up?" He already knew that the surgery was a success, so he wanted to know when he would be able to see Ollie."Randy said that Ollie will be out for some time, but he's fine," Claire replied. Javier nodded. He, too, finally eased up on the tight knot of worry that was weighing his chest.Once he was sure that Javie

The surgery took three hours.As time went by, Claire got more and more anxious. However, there was nothing she could do but wait.In the end, Sofia was the first to crack. She went up to Claire and said anxiously, "Claire, are you sure that Dr. Xenos is good? It's been three hours, why aren't they out yet? I have a bad feeling about this."Claire wasn't exactly relaxed either, but she didn't show it. She gathered her thoughts and comforted Sofia. "Everything will be fine, Mrs. Marquez. Randy is a well-known surgeon, I'm sure he knows what he's doing. Don't worry." She wanted to reach out to comfort her, but in the end, she just sat there with an awkward expression. This was probably how their relationship would be in the foreseeable future—awkward and distant.Pedro watched their interaction with an air of knowingness. "Stop crying, Sofia," he said. "They're fine, you don't have to cry about them. Claire's still pregnant, don't upset her."Sofia was about to get angry about his admoni
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 905 Wouldn't Be Able to Bear It
At that, Javier narrowed his eyes dangerously.The Weiss family wasn't in a stable condition right now, so it wouldn't be hard for him to take revenge on Claire's behalf. Now that he knew the truth of what had happened, he had to find a way to punish the perpetrators.The news that Ollie was Javier's biological son quickly spread, especially after Sofia held a party in celebration. In fact, it made headlines the day before Ollie's scheduled surgery.Javier wasn't surprised about it. He had been looking for an opportunity to announce it to the public so that there wouldn't be unsightly rumors that would affect Claire. Claire, on the other hand, felt a little uncomfortable about the announcement. After all, she had always been a private person; she didn't want anyone to disturb her peaceful life.After a while, though, she got used to it.The most important contributor to this was that it benefited Ollie. From now on, he wasn't a fatherless child anymore. He could tell anyone who would l
