Want My Womb? I'll Make You Childless novel Chapter 127

Chapter 127

Walking out of Richard Bennett’s office, Victor Bennett’s mood was heavier than ever.

He pulled out his phone, found Clara’s number, hesitated for a long time, but still pressed the call button.

But the phone rang for a long time, yet no one answered.

Victor sighed and could only compose a text message, explaining that Diane had confessed and Richard had asked her to drop the charges, and finally added, “Dad said he’ll make it up to you,” before pressing send.

After sending the text, Victor leaned against the wall, closed his eyes, and a tear slid from the corner of his eye.

He could imagine that, given Clara’s personality, after seeing this message, not only would she not drop the charges, but even he, her older brother, and Richard, her father, would be no different from strangers in her eyes.

In the VIP ward of the Military Medical Center, sunlight streamed through the floor–to–ceiling windows and spilled onto the white hospital bed. Ryan, with Kevin, who was a military doctor, on top of him, was struggling to get away.

“Kev, I told you I’m fine, why won’t you listen?”

He used all his limbs, trying to break free from the person pinning him down.“I know my own body better than anyone. I can leave the hospital.”

Kevin was trying to avoid hurting Ryan’s injuries while also keeping him restrained, and he was covered in sweat.

“Walker, the doctor said you need to rest now. Why are you still like before, ignoring medical advice?”

“Do you even realize that you almost died this time? Even though we’ve got it under control for now, there’s no telling when it might flare up again.”

“Besides, genetic diseases require long–term monitoring. It’s too risky for you to be discharged now.”

“I have a lot of things to take care of; I can’t stay in the hospital indefinitely.”

Ryan Walker, held firmly in place by Kevin Keller, struggled against the restraints, “I know my own body better than anyone.”

Clara Bennett pushed open the door to the hospital room and froze, a kaleidoscope of emotions flashing across her face as she took in

the scene.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, the two men stopped what they were doing and looked up.

“Ms. Bennett, tell him!”

Ms. Bennett, thank goodness you’re here,” Kevin said, as if seeing a savior.“This is a hospital! He should listen to the doctors, right?”

“My body, my choice.”

Catching Kevin off guard, Ryan kicked him–not hard, but enough to break free.

“You-!”

Stumbling back from the kick, Kevin glared.“Ungrateful!”

“Ryan.”

Clara gave Ryan a look of disapproval, then turned to Kevin.“Dr. Keller, please don’t be angry. I won’t let him leave the Hospital”

“Clara, Blade isn’t finished. I can’t waste time here!”

“Clara, no way I’m staying here,” Ryan snapped, clearly agitated by what she’d just said.

“I can handle Blade.”

Clara couldn’t help but smile, seeing Ryan so worked up.

Usually, Ryan was always calm, collected, and strategic–her most reliable support.

This was the first time she’d seen such a childlike side of him.

It made him seem much more alive than usual.

Seeing that Ryan was about to speak, Clara directly handed him the water cup with a straw, effectively silencing him.

“You’re a patient right now, so you should listen to the doctor.”

She gently picked up an apple from the table and began to peel it slowly with a paring knife, her gaze involuntarily drawn to Ryan. The sunlight streamed onto his face, chasing away some of the pallor. His long eyelashes cast faint shadows under his eyelids. His features were still handsome, though his complexion still held a hint of post–illness weakness.

Clara’s heart softened involuntarily.

She’d been so worried these past few days. Seeing the color gradually return to his face had eased her mind somewhat.

But the moment she remembered what the army doctor had said–that a stem cell transplant from a blood relative was needed for a complete cure–her heart sank again.

“Exactly, you’re a patient, so you should listen to the doctor.”

Seeing Ryan fall silent, Kevin chuckled smugly, finally witnessing someone who could handle this stubborn rock.

“Just give up on that idea.”

“Clara, I just don’t want you to overwork yourself.”

Ryan’s eyes held a hint of pleading as he looked at Clara.

Clara snapped back to reality, sliced the peeled apple into small pieces, and offered them to him, her tone gentle but firm.

“Dr. Keller is right, you need to rest properly now. Don’t even think about leaving the hospital.”

Ryan looked at the apple she offered, then at her earnest gaze, and could only sigh helplessly. He took the apple and began to eat it in

small bites.

Seeing Ryan finally stop fussing, Kevin breathed a sigh of relief.“Exactly. Just listen to Ms. Bennett and focus on resting. Once your health metrics stabilize, we’ll naturally allow you to leave the hospital.”

“Yeah, yeah. You can go now.”

Completely deflated, Ryan reluctantly nodded, though his eyes still held a hint of unwillingness.

Clara couldn’t help but smile at his childish demeanor.“Alright, don’t be upset. They’re just looking out for you. Nothing is more important than your health.”

Ryan’s eyes lit up instantly at her words. He looked at Clara’s gentle smile, and a warmth spread through him, his lips involuntarily curving upward. “Really?”

“Yeah.”

Clara felt a little awkward under his gaze, her ears flushing slightly.

“Then I’ll listen to you.”

Seeing her like this, Ryan stopped insisting on leaving the hospital, only saying, “But if you get too busy, you have to tell me.”

“Okay.”

Clara smiled. Now that Diane Bennett had been arrested and Natalie Parker’s issue was resolved, she didn’t have much to worry about.

The sudden ring of her phone shattered the tranquility of the hospital room. Clara saw Victor Bennett’s name on the screen, her smile fading, a flash of disgust in her eyes.

Without a second thought, she pressed the decline button.

Ryan noticed her change in mood.“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing, just an unimportant call.”

Clara shook her head, placing the phone aside, not wanting the Bennett family to ruin her mood.

Ryan didn’t press the issue, just gave her a long, thoughtful look.

A few moments later, Clara’s phone vibrated a few times, indicating a text message.

She picked up her phone, unlocked the screen, and saw a text from Victor Bennett.

The message was long, and as Clara finished reading, her expression turned icy, a mocking curve forming on her lips.

Richard wanted her to drop the charges?

Claiming he would give her an explanation and fulfill any desire she had?

She had thought that after learning the truth about the car accident, even if they didn’t apologize, they wouldn’t let Diane off the hook.

But they actually wanted her to drop the charges!

It was laughable; did they think she was a child?

It seemed that Richard and Victor had enjoyed their comfortable lives for too long, completely forgetting her mother!

They could forgive her mother’s enemy and even demand that she do the same, expecting her to believe their lies?

Clara gripped her phone tightly, her knuckles turning white, as an uncontrollable surge of anger and sorrow washed over her.

These were her own flesh and blood, willing to disregard life for the sake of profit, trample on her dignity, and let her mother die without justice!

She took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing her anger, deleted the message, and tossed her phone back onto the table, her eyes filled with icy resolve.

She would never drop the charges. Diane owed her mother a life, and she would pay in blood!

As for the Bennett men…

She’d just pretend they were dead!

“I need some air.”

Sensing Ryan watching her, Clara didn’t want to burden him with her family drama. She stood and walked out of the room.

She needed to cool down, needed to get away from the people and events that disgusted her.

The hallway outside the room was quiet, sunlight streaming through the windows, dappling the floor with light and shadows.

Clara walked slowly down the hall, the rage inside her gradually subsiding, replaced by a deep weariness.

“Clara.”

Hearing someone call her name, Clara looked up and saw a familiar but unwelcome figure. She frowned, disgusted.

Composing herself, she straightened her back and turned to leave.

“Wait.”

Ethan called after her, reverting to his usual condescending manner.“We need to talk.”

Clara stopped, not turning around.

“Ethan, we have nothing to say to each other.”

Clara’s coldness brought a flash of disappointment to Ethan’s eyes. He strode to her, blocking her path.

He’d received the information David had sent early that morning.

The diagnosis was confirmed: Ryan Walker was suffering from an acute flare–up of a hereditary genetic disease. Although it was temporarily under control, a hematopoietic stem cell transplant from a blood relative was necessary for a complete cure.

But Ryan Walker had no suitable blood relatives. The only hope was a child with Clara Bennett!

So, as soon as he found out that Ryan Walker had been transferred to the Military Medical Center, he rushed over.

“I’m here to ask if you’ve considered my previous proposal.”

Clara Bennett looked up at him, her eyes full of mockery.“What proposal?”

“Don’t divorce me. Have another child to save Ryan Walker.”

Ethan Carter spoke as if it were the most natural thing in the world.“You should be well aware of Ryan Walker’s condition. Without a stem cell transplant, he won’t live much longer.”

Clara Bennett’s heart clenched. Looking at the confident expression on Ethan Carter’s face, she felt a surge of intense disgust and

resentment.

Of course, she knew Ryan Walker’s situation. But the thought of having another child with Ethan Carter made her feel nauseous.

“Ethan Carter, you’re dreaming.”

“I would never have another child with you.”

“Do

you have a choice?”

Ethan didn’t miss the flicker of disgust in Clara’s eyes.“Unless you want to watch Ryan Walker die.”

So what if she loathed him?

She was his wife, and would be for the rest of her life!

As long as Clara agreed not to divorce him, given time, she would naturally see his transformation and fall in love with him again.

After all, for seven years before Ryan Walker showed up, he had felt Clara’s love for him every single day.

Ethan’s words stabbed Clara’s heart, and her chest heaved violently.

Of course, she wouldn’t stand by and watch Ryan Walker die.

Manu

But that wasn’t a bargaining chip for Ethan to use against her, nor was it a reason for her to fall back into that suffocating marriage!

She took a step back, widening the distance between herself and Ethan, her eyes as cold as frost.“What we had should have ended a long time ago. I won’t have a child with you, Ethan. Just give up on that idea.”

“As for Ryan Walker, I’ll find another way to save him.”

Seeing Clara’s stubborn attitude, which completely exceeded his prior expectations, Ethan’s face darkened, and intense anger churned

in his eyes.

He hadn’t expected that, even now, Clara was still thinking about divorce!

Ethan scoffed, his voice laced with suppressed fury.“Clara, what other way do you have to save him?”

“Ryan needs stem cells from a blood relative. Besides having a child, do you have another choice?”

Clara’s brow furrowed deeply.

Indeed, to save Ryan, only healthy stem cells would do.

Wait a minute…

If healthy stem cells were truly the only way to save him, why did she have to have a child with Ethan? Compared to the stem cells of a child from Ethan, her half–brother, wouldn’t Ryan’s own child’s stem cells be a better match? With this in mind, Clara raised her head, met Ethan’s gaze, and the struggle on her face gradually faded, replaced by a resolute calm. As if having made a firm decision, she slightly curved the corners of her lips and said something that caught Ethan completely off guard.

“Ethan, what makes you think that having a child with you is the only way to save Ryan?”

Ethan’s brows furrowed tightly.“What do you

mean?”

Clara said calmly, “What I mean is, I want to divorce you.”

“And then, marry Ryan and have a child with him.”

“Using our child to save his life.”
