The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 917

“Mom, I'm not Dad. That trick won't work on me.”

Felix was being completely ruthless.

Claire instinctively glanced at the people in front of her.

She saw the mother clutching her stomach, her face drained of all color. Assuming she was lying, her son didn't even bother to look at her.

If he had just looked, he would have realized something was terribly wrong.

“I'm not faking. It really hurts.”

Unable to bear it any longer, the mother collapsed into a crouch on the floor.

Claire couldn't help but interject. “Hey, I think your mom is genuinely in pain. She doesn't look like she's faking it.”

Only then did Felix Ingram finally look down at his mother.

“Mom, are you really sick?”

Mrs. Ingram looked up at him pitifully. “I told you my stomach hurt, and you didn't believe me!”

“I'm taking you to the hospital!” Felix's coldness instantly morphed into frantic panic.

“But I haven't even gotten my drink yet!” Mrs. Ingram protested weakly, frustrated that she had waited in line for nothing.

Claire could tell instantly—this woman was an absolute foodie.

Skylar whispered, “Ma'am, your health is a little more important right now. You need to get to the hospital! We'll taste-test the boba for you!”

Mrs. Ingram looked at Skylar. “You make a very good point, sweetie, but I...”

“No 'buts.' We're going to the hospital!”

Felix reached down, preparing to heave his mother over his shoulder.

“Don't move her yet! She's in too much pain!” Claire quickly stopped him, seeing how reckless he was being.

Felix furrowed his brows. “Then what am I supposed to do?”

“If you trust me, I can help stop the pain temporarily. It'll take at least ten to fifteen minutes for an ambulance to get here anyway.”

“Claire!” Despite her usually bubbly nature, Skylar quickly tried to pull Claire back.

You couldn't just go around offering medical help willy-nilly!

What if something happened and she got blamed for it?

“Are you sure you can do this?” Zara also looked highly skeptical.

Because of Mrs. Ingram's cries of pain, everyone in the queue was now staring at them.

“Can you actually treat her?” Felix remained suspicious.

“Felix, just let the girl take a look. I'm dying over here.”

“Desperate times call for desperate measures, I guess!”

Skylar and Zara exchanged exasperated looks. *Ma'am, please don't say that right now!*

“Claire, do you really know what you're doing? Don't get yourself into trouble!” Zara might have seemed arrogant, but she genuinely cared about Claire.

They were roommates, after all!

Claire reached out again, and this time, Felix didn't stop her.

She quickly pressed several points on Mrs. Ingram's abdomen. “Does it hurt here, ma'am?”

“I don't think so.” Mrs. Ingram shook her head.

“What about here?” She moved to another spot.

“Ow, ow, ow! Yes!” Mrs. Ingram cried out.

Claire then picked up Mrs. Ingram's wrist to check her pulse, quickly reaching a diagnosis. “It's renal colic, most likely caused by kidney stones.”
