The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1730

"I heard Claire specializes in Traditional Medicine, so I wanted to see if she knew any alternative therapies," Yolande explained patiently, despite Ewan's abrasive tone.

The jealousy burned deeper. When he had been paralyzed, why hadn't Yolande scoured the earth for miracle doctors for *him*?

If Yolande had any idea what was going through his head, she would have called him an absolute lunatic.

*Are you out of your mind?*

*Your family has billions of dollars. They hired the best specialists on the planet. Why would you need me playing nurse?*

Bringing some random local doctor to the Harding estate would have been a humiliating joke.

"Isn't Dr. Claire a little too busy for this?"

Ewan blurted out the words before he could stop himself.

As soon as Yolande shot him a sharp look, he immediately regretted opening his mouth.

It wasn't his place to dictate Claire's schedule.

His aggressive questioning just made him sound like an overbearing jerk.

If anyone knew how hopelessly in love with her he was, they'd realize he was just acting like a petty, insecure child.

He opened his mouth to apologize, but realizing anything he said would only dig the hole deeper, he snapped it shut.

Having watched the entire trainwreck unfold in real-time, Claire was one hundred percent certain that Ewan was desperately in love with Yolande.

Still, this wasn't the time to play matchmaker.

"Let's go check on Quentin. I do actually have somewhere to be later," Claire interjected smoothly.

Ewan let out a heavy sigh of relief at her timely intervention.

Thank god she hadn't called him out on his obnoxious behavior.

"I'll come with you guys," Ewan declared suddenly.

"Why would you do that?" Yolande asked, genuinely bewildered.

Ewan offered a strained smile. "I'm just bored. And since we both have shattered legs, maybe we can bond over our physical therapy trauma."

"I've been in this chair for three years. I know exactly how dark it gets when you're told you'll never walk again."

"Maybe I can offer him some actual perspective."

"I guess that makes sense," Yolande agreed slowly.
