The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 748

When the police conducted an investigation, they certainly wouldn't be as gentle as a set's internal review.

After all, this involved a highly influential actress who was currently fighting for her life in surgery; it could very well escalate into an attempted murder case.

"Stop crying! Pull yourself together!" Karla scolded the assistant with a deep frown.

Trixie immediately clamped her mouth shut, a clear testament to Karla's absolute authority.

Claire went over to check in with the staff and ask for an update.

They didn't know the exact status since the surgery was ongoing, but Dr. Duncan was leading the team, and he was exceptionally skilled.

"Karla, you don't need to panic just yet. The hospital is doing everything they can."

"The lead surgeon is Dr. Duncan, the one we had dinner with before. He's incredibly responsible and a brilliant doctor, so she should be in good hands."

Karla nodded. "Thank you for looking out for us, Claire."

Claire flashed a warm smile. "It's nothing. I'm just glad I could be here for you."

She then turned to Dane. "Why don't you head back to the hotel and get some sleep? I'll stay here and keep her company."

Dane wasn't about to do that; how could he possibly sleep peacefully knowing he'd left them alone in a chaotic hospital?

"I'm not leaving. I'll stay right here with you guys."

Karla was secretly quite pleased by his protective stance.

She obviously didn't need a babysitter, but the fact that Dane wanted to stay by Claire's side meant the kid had some decent sense in his head.

At the very least, he didn't ignore Claire's needs and actively considered her safety.

Karla looked at them both. "You two should just go home and rest. I can handle things here, and Trixie is with me."

Claire hesitated. She had only suggested Dane leave; she didn't want to abandon her aunt either.

She glanced over at Dane.

Dane, easily reading her expression, assured her that staying was no problem at all.
