“Clara, you’re here?”
Just as Clara was in a daze, Helena opened her eyes and looked at Clara.
The anticipation and helplessness in her eyes suddenly rose.
She hadn’t seen Clara for a long time, but when she looked at her, Helena’s eyes suddenly dimmed.
“Yes, I’m here.”
Clara nodded and went forward to help Helena up. She let Helena lean on the bed and felt more comfortable.
Then, she sat down on the sofa, not knowing what to say.
Once there used to be a conflict, it was really awkward for the two of them to sit together.
This was the situation now. Clara could only look at her legs and silently lower her head.
In the end, it was Helena who spoke first, “Clara, are you two married?”
She was referring to her and Horace. Clara nodded and said, “Yes.”
She knew that Helena had always disagreed with her being with Horace.
Now that she mentioned it, Clara could not say anything more.
Then she looked at the time. It was already afternoon.
“Um… Are you hungry? I can go buy you some food?” Clara did not know how to address Helena and could only pause for a moment.
“Alright, sorry to trouble you.” Helena nodded, and then Clara left.
“Are you sitting here all the time?” Clara was just thinking about where Horace had gone to pay the fee, but she didn’t expect that he was sitting at the door.
“Yes, I’ll leave you two some space.” Horace raised his head and looked at Clara.
“Are you hungry? Let’s go eat?” Although Clara was not very hungry, she still wanted to have something now.
The reason why Clara was not hungry was that she had no appetite, but she still had to eat something.
Now that it was already this late, Horace was definitely hungry, so she could ask Horace to go with her.
The food in the hospital was ordinary, and there was nothing special about it. Horace ate a little with Clara there.
After Clara quickly finished eating, she packed up and sent it to Helena.
“Well, I don’t know what you want to eat. I just bought some simple food.”
Clara walked into the ward. Seeing that Helena was still lying there, she put a small table in front of Helena.
This made it easier for Helena to eat.
“Okay, it doesn’t matter.” Helena smiled and took the chopsticks in Clara’s hand and began to eat.
This time, Helena’s illness was very strange, and she did not know why.
Clara simply asked the doctor. The doctor said that there was nothing serious and that she could be discharged tomorrow.
However, when the dean informed her about the news of Helena’s accident, his tone sounded very anxious.
Could it be that they were afraid of the dead, so they tried to sound anxious?
Clara knew very well about the scheme, but the most important thing now was Helena’s illness, and it was good that she was fine.
The sky slowly darkened, and Clara and Horace returned home.
Because they had been too tired these past few days, neither of them had any interest in chatting. Clara just lay in the crook of Horace’s arm and fell asleep comfortably.
During this time, Clara dreamed of the scene when Laura released the bomb, and even the dream she had now was awfully shocking.
Clara did not know how things had turned out like this. She had originally wanted to live happily, but bad things came to her one after another.
The next morning, Clara woke up and looked at Helena with heavy dark circles under her eyes.
“Don’t go. It’s too early. Sleep for a while more.”
Horace held Clara’s hand and looked at the serious dark circles and eye bags under Clara’s eyes. His eyes were full of heartache.
Recently, Clara was really too tired. She went on a vacation, and her mind was in high excitement. When she came back, suddenly she had to take care of her sick mother.
This was too much for anyone bear mentally.
“Alright, stop messing around. I have to go take a look. Otherwise, how is she going to get up and eat?”
Laura was not by Helena’s side right now. There was only Clara by her side.
If even Clara did not care, Helena would really have no one to take care of.
Helena raised Clara, and Clara could not bear to see Helena lying in bed with no one to take care of her.
“Alright, then you can go. Don’t be too tired.” Horace could not win against Clara, and the things that Clara decided would not change.
Since Clara had already packed up, she would definitely go.
Clara walked along the corridor of the hospital. It was still early, and there were very few people in the hospital.
Clara walked to Helena’s ward. Helena had not woken up yet, so Clara sat on the sofa next to her and rested for a while.
She vaguely heard a strange sound. Clara opened her eyes and saw Helena, who wanted to take the quilt at this moment.
“You want to drink water?” Clara walked forward and picked up the glass of water, handing it to Helena.
After Helena finished drinking the water, she looked at Clara, her eyes full of gratification.
“Clara, it must be hard for you to come to see me so early.” Even her own daughter did not show up, but her adopted daughter did.
What kind of world was this?
“It’s fine.” Clara shook her head.
In fact, it was really nothing. It was the responsibility of every child to take care of the old people at home.
Although Clara was not Helena’s biological daughter, she still had to take care of some feelings.
“You are already married to Horace. Is he good to you?”
“Yes.”
“Then, is there anything that upsets you? If you tell me, I can help you.”
“No.”
Helena wanted to talk to Clara, but it seemed that Clara still couldn’t let go.
Helena also knew the current situation, so she didn’t force her. She just looked at Clara and didn’t know what she was thinking.
“Well, the doctor told me that you’ll be discharged today. Your illness is no longer severe.”
Clara remembered what the doctor said yesterday and repeated it to Helena.
Although there were many professional terms that Clara couldn’t understand, she might be able to understand them if she were to say them to Helena.
However, Helena only knew half of them and didn’t know what exactly happened.
“So, you…”
“Will you come home with me?”
Although Helena was fine now, Clara always felt that she had let Helena down.
Therefore, it was better to take her home and take care of her personally. Now that Laura was not around, she was a little worried about Helena alone in the nursing home.
“No way!”
The sternness in Helena’s tone made Clara jump in fright.
Except when Clara did something wrong when she was a child, Helena would be so fierce, the rest of the time was not like this.
Clara was a little surprised in her heart, and her emotions were revealed on her face.
“Why? Your daughter is not around now. Come back with me and I can take care of you.”
Clara frowned slightly. Was Helena angry with her now?
Clara was puzzled. Looking at Helena’s every move, Clara suddenly found that the wrinkles on her face had increased.
“Anyway, there is no need. There is nothing to say. Just go through the formalities.” After saying this, Helena turned her head. It seemed that she did not want to continue talking to Clara.
