After drinking two bowls of red date soup, Claudia Ross finally regained some strength.
The man was busy in the kitchen, and she quietly left some money on the coffee table before she slipped away quietly.
Stepping into the elevator, she took out her phone.
Nana Monty had called her several times, but her father and Wyatt Perry hadn’t tried to contact her.
Claudia didn’t want to go back to the Rosses, so she took a taxi to see Nana Monty.
Since it was the weekend and Nana Monty wasn’t working, she had ordered takeout and was waiting for Claudia to come over for a meal.
As soon as Claudia entered, Nana exclaimed, “God, your face is as pale as a ghost’s.
It’s just a divorce, what’s the big deal?
There’s no need to make yourself look so haggard, as if you’re neither human nor ghost.
Even if you demean yourself further, no one is going to pity you.”
“Is it really that terrifying?” Claudia touched her face.
“Would I joke about this?”
Nana Monty pulled Claudia into the bathroom, “Look for yourself.”
When Claudia saw her reflection in the mirror, she, too, was startled.
Not to mention her pale complexion, her eyes were completely lifeless, making her look like someone on the verge of death.
The bag of blood from last night, she was lucky not to have been bled to death.
Nana Monty said fiercely, “Xixi, don’t be sad.
I’m going to chop Wyatt Perry, that bastard, to pieces right now and avenge you.”
“Chop him up and bring the body back,” Claudia laughed.
“What would I do with the body?”
“Make your favorite mushroom stew with it!”
“Gross, his flesh must be so filthy, I couldn’t stomach it, disgusting!”
“Peel off the skin and sterilize it at high temperatures.”
“Pfft…
I find him revolting!”
Claudia Ross curled her lips, “Forget it, I couldn’t eat it either.”
The thought of Wyatt Perry having been involved with Katie Poole disgusted her.
“Nana, I’m going to stay at your place for a few days.
Once Wyatt Perry transfers the villa at Southern Mountain Number One to me, I’ll move out.”
She had no plans to go back to the Rosses.
Having been sold out once by her own father, she didn’t want to be sold a second time.
After settling in at Nana Monty’s place, Claudia started looking for a job.
By coincidence, Nana’s company was hiring, so she submitted her resume and waited for an interview notice.
Claudia went to the hospital alone for an early pregnancy test.
The examination report confirmed that she indeed was pregnant.
The doctor told Claudia, “You can’t have the surgery now.
Come back after forty days, and we will do an ultrasound to determine the embryo’s position.
If it’s suitable, then you can have the surgery.”
Claudia left the hospital with a troubled heart; she still had ten more days before she could have the surgery.
These ten days were undoubtedly tormented for her.
…
In the afternoon, Katie Poole finally woke up from her coma, and Wyatt Perry was there, feeding her warm milk.
“Wyatt…” Tears began to roll down Katie’s cheeks, “I thought I’d never see you again…”
“Don’t do anything foolish in the future.”
As Wyatt held Katie’s bandaged wrist, his heart ached for her.
“Wyatt, being without you is too painful.
I don’t want to suffer like that again,” Katie leaned into Wyatt’s arms, crying as if her tears were like rain on pear blossoms, “If I can’t be with you, I’d rather be dead…”
“From now on, you will never leave me.”
“Really?” Katie broke into a smile through her tears, “Can I see you whenever I want then?”
“Of course.”
The smile on Katie’s face quickly faded, “You’re lying to me.
If I hadn’t come back, you would be sleeping with Claudia every night, and sooner or later, you would develop feelings for her.”
With a serious tone, Wyatt said, “I never laid a hand on her.”
