Tempted Trapped and Too Late to Run novel Chapter 467

The man in the doctor's coat stood by the bed, gently tucking the blanket around Clara, ready to lift her up. Just then, Ryan stepped forward, his face full of suspicion. "How do I know you're not lying? How can you prove you're really a friend of my sister?"

The doctor raised an eyebrow, a hint of a smile on his lips. "Just call her boyfriend from her phone, and you'll find out. But Clara's condition can't wait."

Ryan hesitated, not wanting to get Clara's boyfriend involved, his expression turning serious. "I'm coming with you."

The man had been polite until now, but his eyes turned sharp. "Sorry, that's not possible."

"And why not?" Ryan demanded, instantly on guard. He spread his arms protectively in front of Clara, like a mother hen. "If you don't let me come, I'm not letting you take her."

The man's brow furrowed. He stepped aside, making a call in a low voice, so Ryan couldn't hear a thing. Whatever was said on the other end seemed to surprise him, and he raised his voice slightly, "Are you sure about this?"

Ryan had no clue who the man was talking to, but it must have been important. The doctor sighed and said, "Alright, let's hope this doesn't turn into an argument later."

After hanging up, he turned to Ryan. "You can come, but you'll have to wait outside the hospital."

Ryan, not wanting Clara to suffer any longer, nodded in agreement. As the man moved to lift Clara again, Ryan quickly stepped in and picked her up himself. Clara was wrapped in a blanket, but she still had a towel underneath, and Ryan didn't trust this guy's intentions.

The man seemed surprised by Ryan's protectiveness. Wasn't there talk about them not getting along as siblings? But he didn't comment, stepping aside politely and gesturing for Ryan to go ahead.

As Ryan carried Clara downstairs, Sarah hurried after them. "Ryan, why won't you listen to me? You used to listen to me all the time."

Ryan didn't stop, only throwing back, "We'll talk about this when I get back."
