Although Clara got into it with Helena, Clara chose to pick Helena up from the hospital. Brought up by Helena, Clara couldn’t leave her aside.
When arriving at Helena’s ward, Clara found that Laura was also there. Clara stopped and wanted to leave, but Helena had seen her. It would worsen their relationship if Clara left.
“Clara, you’re here!” Seeing Clara standing in the doorway, Laura pretended to be surprised. “I thought you wouldn’t come today.”
Wheeling herself to Clara, Laura took Clara’s arm and said affectionately, “Clara, I’m sorry for what happened yesterday. You are right. You and Horace have divorced, and it was embarrassing of you to help me with that. I will not make such unreasonable requests anymore. Please forgive me for what I said.”
Clara was tired of Laura’s hypocrisy, so she directly pulled out her arm and turned a deaf ear to what Laura said. Clara walked toward Helena and said, “I’m going to do the discharge procedures. You can pack up your things, and I’ll carry them into the car later.”
Being ignored, Laura clenched her fists with a fierce look on her face. But very soon, she put on a pitiful look.
Laura went to Clara and said with a timid look, “Clara, I really know how wrong I was. Please forgive me, and I’ll try to make up for what I did. Please give me a chance!”
Seeing this, Clara was burning with rage, wanting to tell Laura to stop acting!
Nevertheless, Clara knew she couldn’t do that in front of Helena. Helena liked Laura so much that she would definitely scold Clara if Clara did that.
After taking a few deep breaths, Clara tried her best to hold back her anger and continued to ignore Laura. Clara said to Helena, “Then you can pack up. I’ll go do the discharge procedures.”
“Clara…” Laura was irritated by Clara’s attitude, but she still tried to stop Clara with a guilty look.
Laura gradually approached Clara, but Clara directly bypassed her and then proceeded to walk toward the door.
“Clara, stop!” Helena got furious at Laura’s being ignored. “Laura has apologized. Why not forgive her? She is so sincere, but what’s with your attitude!”
Hearing this, Clara stopped with tears in her eyes. She did not turn back but tried to calm her voice. “What do you want me to do?”
“Laura didn’t mean to do it back then, and you’re fine now.” Helena did not realize the tears in Clara’s eyes and went on rebuking.
“Laura not only donated her bone marrow to save my life but took good care of me these days. I can see that she really knows that she was wrong. Even if it was difficult for you to go to Horace, Laura has apologized to you for that, right? How could you ignore her?”
Tears trickling down her cheeks, Clara felt very aggrieved. Clara was deeply disappointed by Helena’s words!
Because of Laura, Clara had no choice but to divorce Horace and go abroad. As a result, Neo didn’t have a dad around. Nonetheless, from where Helena stood, all of this was not a big deal.
Also, as Helena’s daughter, it was Laura’s duty to donate her bone marrow to Helena and take care of her. Besides, Clara had also taken care of Helena these days. Nevertheless, Helena didn’t value it.
Rubbing tears from her eyes, Clara hid the choking in her voice. “Yeah, sorry, it’s my fault.”
After saying this, Clara walked out of the ward at once, almost dead inside. Clara swore to herself that she wouldn’t be so humble anymore. After Helena was discharged from the hospital, Clara would stop her role as Helena’s daughter and wouldn’t see Helena anymore.
After finishing the discharge procedures, Clara returned to the ward without saying anything else. She carried the luggage to the car in silence and then drove Helena and Laura home.
Helena realized that Clara was angry. After calming down, she found that she had gone too far by saying that. Helena was too biased towards Laura, so Clara naturally got upset.
“Clara,” holding Clara’s hand, Helena said with a smile, “When I saw Laura crying, I got too anxious and went too harsh on you. Please don’t take it to the heart.”
“It doesn’t matter.” Now that Helena apologized, Clara had no choice but to forgive her.
Patting Clara’s hand, Helena smiled. “Clara, I knew you were the kindest. You must’ve been exhausted these days, so I’ll serve you your favorite dish.”
Helena hadn’t been so nice to Clara for many years. Therefore, Clara was not even used to it. Hesitating for a moment, she nodded. “That’s great.”
“I’m making it right now.” Helena smiled and went into the kitchen.
Seeing Helena enter the kitchen, Laura found it was a good chance. She touched the drug in her pocket and gave an evil smile.
“Aunt Helena, let me give you a hand. You’ve just been discharged from the hospital, so you can’t wear yourself out.” With that, Laura wheeled herself into the kitchen.
“Well, then I…” Helena hurriedly stopped and looked nervously at Laura. Helena knew that Laura didn’t want to be called so.
Laura remained calm. Seeing this, Helena heaved a sigh of relief and smiled. “I’ll share my recipes with you.”
“It’s my honor. Thank you, Aunt Helena.”
…
Hearing the laughter coming from the kitchen, Clara was very upset on the sofa in the living room. Clara felt she was always excluded.
In the kitchen, Laura took advantage of Helena’s inattention, secretly lifted the lid of the pot, and poured the drug in her pocket into the pot.
Looking at the drug powder that quickly melted into the soup, Laura gave a malicious smile. She sneered and thought, “Clara, you are doomed this time!”
