In the corridor, the atmosphere was so heavy it was nearly palpable, making even breathing difficult.
Suddenly, there was a thud.
Claire North knelt heavily on the ground.
Vincent Hawthorne was startled: "What are you doing?"
"Uncle, I have a request for Elias." Claire North raised her head, eyes red filled with tears: "Elias, I want to ask you, allow me to be with Baby. As a mother, I’m useless, unable to invite Void for him, the only thing I can do is to accompany him."
Elias Hawthorne did not speak, he just looked at her coldly.
Claire North’s heart suddenly shrank, fear spread from the depths of her heart, but things had reached this point, there was no turning back, she bit her lip: "Elias, if you don’t agree, I won’t get up."
Elias Hawthorne’s thin lips parted, speaking coldly: "So, you are threatening me?"
Claire North was stunned: "No, I am not threatening you." Tears filled her eyes: "How could you think that? I just want to be with Baby, he is at death’s door now, if his biological mother accompanies him, he would certainly be happy."
"I think you have misunderstood." Elias Hawthorne said indifferently: "If I let you stay with Baby, he won’t be happy when he gets better."
"Grandma!" Claire North pleaded with Old Mrs. Hawthorne: "Please persuade Elias for me, we can’t just because I made a mistake before, not let me recognize Baby as my child."
Old Mrs. Hawthorne glanced around, seeing her grandson’s cold expression, she then said: "Listen to Elias, he is Baby’s father, the one who truly wants the best for Baby."
Vincent Hawthorne frowned slightly, but said nothing more, turning to look at the tearful Claire North, he was somewhat moved: "I understand your intentions, it’s just that someone has caused misunderstandings, making Elias misunderstand you."
Thinking of the defiant Raina North, Vincent Hawthorne’s expression was somewhat disdainful, he gently told Claire North: "Don’t worry, one day Elias will understand your intentions, and Baby will understand too. No matter what, you are the one who gave birth to him. Alright, don’t kneel, get up quickly."
Mrs. Hawthorne hurriedly helped Claire North up: "Alright, don’t cry, if you damage your health, how can you take care of the child?"
"Okay, I won’t cry." Claire North tried hard to control her tears, her restrained strength was moving.
Seeing this, Vincent Hawthorne’s perception of Claire North changed somewhat. The rightful source is novelꜰire.net
Raina North leaned back in the rear seat, closing her eyes to rest, an hour later, the car slowly stopped.
Raina North got out of the car.
From the outside, it was just an unremarkable little storefront, with a sign outside for a Chinese medicine clinic, but inside it was a whole different world.
Jasper Hawthorne said: "This is a medical room my brother urgently arranged, some medicinal herbs have been prepared, let me know if you need anything else."
Raina North was not polite, after inspecting it, she took paper and pen and wrote a long list of medicinal herbs: "Send them to me immediately."
"No problem, I’ll prepare them myself."
Raina North nodded casually, quickly walked into the research room and began to work.
The herbs Raina North needed were quite precious, fortunately, Jasper Hawthorne handled it personally, otherwise, they might not have been collected.
When he delivered the herbs, dawn was just breaking, the city still peaceful and quiet.
Jasper Hawthorne didn’t go in immediately, with so much happening, he thought Raina North needed a rest, who knew, very soon, his phone rang.
