The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1645

"I'll pick you up tomorrow."

There was zero chance Dane was letting her take a cab to a high-society event, even if they both had VIP passes.

"I might be at the university hospital."

Barry and Dr. Terrance both had deep ties to the Cabinda medical scene, and the academic atmosphere there was intense.

The higher-ups had specifically arranged for the conference lectures to be held on that campus.

"Understood," Dane replied smoothly. "If the venue changes, just text me the location tomorrow afternoon."

The moment Claire walked through her front door, her phone rang. It was Hillary.

She had finally regained consciousness over the last forty-eight hours. While she was a long way from fully recovered, Dr. Tandy and Claire's extreme interventions had dragged her back from the brink of death. She was just thrilled to be breathing.

The second she felt stable enough to speak, she asked for her phone.

"Claire, I can't thank you enough. If it weren't for you, I'd be in a body bag right now."

Hanson had already confessed to blindly transferring the Gaming Company Equity to Claire while she was unconscious.

Hillary was blunt and straightforward; she didn't care about corporate politics.

To her, a gift was a gift. Someone gave Claire millions of dollars in equity—why on earth would Claire be mad about that?

Still, Claire was her literal savior. Even with Hanson's massive financial gesture, Hillary needed to express her own profound gratitude.

"I'm stuck in this bed for the foreseeable future, but the second they discharge me, dinner is on me."

"It's a deal, Hillary. Just focus on resting and getting your strength back first."

Hillary's laugh was weak but genuine. "I definitely have a lot of resting to do."

"Claire, since you practice Traditional Medicine... is there any way you could write me a specialized prescription? Something to aggressively rebuild my body?"

Claire immediately detected the desperate, pleading edge in Hillary's voice.

"Did something happen?" Claire's tone softened, inherently soothing.

Hillary was silent for a long time before she finally spoke. "I fell from a skyscraper. The structural damage to my body is catastrophic. The rehab is going to be brutal."
