Agnes smiled lightly and spoke in a calm tone.
"Ms. Blue, you're very dedicated. You're extremely cautious with your patients.
"But I'm sorry, I'm quite stubborn. If I don't see Raymond today, I won't leave."
Clara's expression turned cold, and her voice immediately lost all politeness.
"If that's the case, then don't blame me for not being polite, Ms. Sinclair.
"I have my responsibilities. While Mr. Newton is recovering, I will not allow anyone to disturb him."
She slowly moved closer to Agnes, her gaze icy and firm.
"Ms. Sinclair, before I have someone escort you out, you should leave on your own.
"That would avoid making things unpleasant for everyone."
Agnes had always been the type who yielded to kindness but resisted pressure. She looked at Clara with a faint amused smile.
"What if I don't?"
Clara let out a cold scoff, then suddenly raised her voice and shouted, "Guards!"
After a few seconds, several men in black suits appeared from different directions in the mansion.
"Ms. Blue, did you call for us?"
Clara gave Agnes a sharp look.
She said, "This woman broke into the mansion and refuses to leave. She's seriously interfering with Mr. Newton's recovery. Remove her immediately."
The men in black hesitated when they saw Agnes. None of them moved. "Uh..."
Clara said, "What? Are my words meaningless now? What exactly did Mr. Newton instruct you all?
"Since I'm fully responsible for Mr. Newton's daily care, I deserve the respect of my position!"
One of the men in black said, "But this lady is Mr. Newton's..."
Clara cut him off sharply, her tone like a blade.
"I don't care who she is to Mr. Newton. Even if she is his lover, ex-girlfriend, or ex-wife.
"If she affects his recovery, then she is not allowed. Mr. Newton's health comes first."
The men exchanged glances, but none of them dared to step forward.
Clara became increasingly frustrated. Before Agnes arrived, these people had treated her with full respect. Now everything felt wrong.
Clara snapped, "Ms. Sinclair, leave immediately!"
Agnes responded evenly, not taking her seriously at all.
"Ms. Blue, I can't even sit here and wait?
"I wonder if you're really concerned about Raymond, or if you're just targeting me."
Clara said, "Of course I'm prioritizing Mr. Newton's health. I already told you, he is not receiving visitors during recovery!"
Agnes said, "Is that so? But on my way here, I saw several cars heading in.
"You usually fall even harder in the end."
Clara flushed red with rage. She pointed at Agnes and shouted.
"Get out! Or I will report this to Mr. Newton myself! You're completely unreasonable!"
Seeing her reaction, Agnes delivered the final blow.
"Waving your authority like it's some royal decree? Your little bit of power is barely enough to boss around ants, haha."
Clara finally lost control. Her eyes reddened, and she turned to storm off toward Raymond to complain.
But after only a few steps, she ran directly into Eden, who was coming down the stairs.
Eden said respectfully, "Mrs. Newton, you're here. Mr. Newton is inside."
Clara froze in shock. She could not understand why even Eden addressed this woman as Mrs. Newton.
Before she arrived, she had already checked. Raymond was divorced and supposed to be single now.
Clara said sternly, "Eden, Mr. Newton needs rest right now. Surely you understand that?"
Eden's usually gentle expression turned slightly cold.
"Ms. Blue, you only need to handle your nursing duties.
"Mr. Newton hired you as a nurse, not as someone in charge of the household."
Seeing Clara's disbelief, Eden continued even more directly.
