Chapter 49 Our Marriage Is Real Clarissa and Damien lest after breakfast. Damien didn’t even have to ask Clarissa where they were heading to, for he already knew that Columbia Hospital was the destination. Clarissa, on the other hand, simply concluded that Damien was powerful enough to know everything
The moment they reached the parking lot, she wanted to get out of the car immediately.
“Maybe it’ll be better if you stay here,” Clarissa said to Damien. In truth, she herself wasn’t sure what she was afraid of. “Is there anything in the ward? Something I’m not supposed to see?” Damien was lighting up a cigarette. with his narrowed eyes and his casual way of speech, he looked no better than a violent thug.
Still, Clarissa found it attractive,
Staring at him, her cheeks flushed a bright red. “The hospital’s dirty and crowded. It’s not a suitable place for people like you.” Damien glanced at his watch. “I’ll come to pick you up at four.” “Okay.” Clarissa let out a sigh of relief. It seemed he wasn’t planning to visit her mother from the very beginning. Most likely, his presence here was due to Grandpa Lawrence’s insistence.
And so, Clarissa went straight to the neurology department.
The hospital hallway was heavily crowded, and there were video cameras pointing toward a certain direction.
Clarissa was about to walk past the crowd when she caught sight of a familiar woman clad in a green dress, a cigarette stuffed between the fingers.
Immediately, Clarissa stopped in her tracks. Madelynn was here!
As it turned out, the latter was in the midst of a filming session.
Clarissa had always seen Madelynn as someone manipulative and arrogant. Thus, she didn’t stay to watch and made her way to her mother’s ward without wasting a single second
Much to her surprise, Luke and Joseph were there as well. Standing next to them was a woman in her mid-forties, probably a caregiver.
“Oh! You’re here, Miss Johnson.” The caregiver was quick to give a polite greeting as soon as she saw Clarissa. “I’ll be your mother’s personal caregiver from now on. My name is Anne Rowe.”
“Was it Dr. Fisher who hired you?” Clarissa asked.
She could already see how professional Anne was with just one glance. Only moments ago, Anne was tidying the bed. “Weren’t you the one who did that?” Anne asked back, perplexed.
“Huh? No, it’s not me.” “Clarissa, weren’t you the one who requested a caregiver from Dr. l’isher?” Luke threw Clarissa a suspicious stare. “It was President Lawrence who asked me about it,” Dr. Fisher said as he entered the room, dispelling all their doubts. “Anne is our best and most expensive caregiver.”
“President Lawrence?” Both Luke and Clarissa gasped simultaneously.
Joseph, on the other hand, looked slightly down.
