Please Love Me, Mr. George novel Chapter 362

Toby also stared at me sympathetically.

What was wrong with me?

Once caught by strong emotion, I was not able to calm down.

Squatting on the ground, I pulled my hair like a crazy person.

I was not sick. I was sure.

My mind didn’t become clear until one hour later when Dennis stood beside me.

Clarrie was not around.

I pulled Dennis’ sleeve, “Was Clarrie taken away?”

He shook his head slightly, with a gentle look at me, “No, she was sleeping in her room.”

Hugging me tightly, he assured me with an assuring voice, “Mario won’t take her away. She is our daughter and will stay with us. Don’t worry.”

With his promise, I felt relieved.

Feeling his heartbeat in his arms, I remained silent.

He patted my back as if he were saying, “I am sorry I was so busy that I didn’t take good care of you these days.”

I remained silent.

He sighed, and said gingerly, “Clara, let’s go to the hospital tomorrow, please.”

My body stiffened instantly and he held me more tightly.

“Don’t be afraid.” He tried to console me.

I pressed my lips for quite a while before I agreed.

Going to the hospital meant that I was sick.

I had been sick four years ago but I had thought that I was okay now.

But I was wrong.

The night passed when I succeeded in falling into sleep with Dennis accompanying me.

On the next day, Toby came early to pick Clarrie up, whom I saw off for long.

Dennis held my hand, “Don’t worry. She will be back in the evening.”

I nodded and got into his car, fidgeting on the seat.

Unexpectedly, he took me to a private hospital instead of a public one.

Not having registered, I was led by him to an office room and was told to wait, sitting.

There was nobody in the room; I was confused, “What are we doing here?”

He patted my hand, “To see a doctor. Don’t overthink but you will be honest when asked by the doctor, won’t you?”

I nodded, but couldn’t help feeling smothered in this small room.

Around ten minutes later, an old man aged about sixty, who was wearing a doctor’s coat, came in.

He smiled at Dennis and then turned to me.
