Worship The Ground You Walk On novel Chapter 18

Claudia went back to her bed and picked up her baby carefully. At this moment, Conrad woke up. He opened his little mouth and seemed to be hungry.

Claudia smiled. Now she happened to be ready to feed him, so she got out of bed, pulled up the screen and lifted her clothes.

Now that she finally saw her baby, Claudia was overwhelmed with joy. Watching his little face and stroking his little hand, Claudia was so immersed in happiness that she didn’t even take notice of the person walking into her ward.

It was when Marshall got around the screen that Claudia noticed him and was startled.

“Oops... Sorry!”

Marshall hurried behind the screen, blushing with embarrassment.

When Claudia got herself ready a moment later, Marshall walked out again, took a deep breath, and explained, “I’m sorry for what just happened. I didn’t mean to see that!”

Claudia gave a faint smile. She knew what kind of person he was since she had known him from childhood.

Claudia stared at Marshall and said in sign language, “Kim told me what happened. I appreciate what you’ve done for me the other day!”

“Come on!” Marshall gave a bright smile. “I wasn’t that helpful. But Claudia, have you thought of treating your speech impairment again?”

Now that Marshall brought it up, Claudia was a little at a loss.

“I remember you were able to speak when you were little. What happened?” Marshall had always been wondering.

Back then, he went abroad to visit his grandfather. When he came back a month later, Claudia became mute.

According to Blair, Claudia was running a fever at that time, but her treatment was delayed, so severe neurological damage was caused. However, Marshall had checked Claudia’s brain before, only to find that her cranial nerves were actually intact!

Marshall stared at Claudia. “Now you got your own kid, and you definitely want to talk to him, right?”

Claudia’s mind went blank because she hadn’t thought about this before.

Once she could talk, it meant the truth that her father was murdered by Blair would be revealed.

Claudia had to be able to speak in order to expose the vicious face of her enemy.

But what if she got her mother, who was in the nursing home, involved?

Claudia cast a look at the baby. Now as a new mother, how could she not want to talk to her child?

Claudia was torn.

On the one hand, it was the blood feud over her father; on the other, it was her mother in the nursing home. What should Claudia do now?

“Claudia, what are you worried about? Tell me, and I will help you!” Marshall bent over and held Claudia’s hands, staring at her in a comforting and tender way, “Trust me, OK?”

Before Claudia could say anything, Ben walked around the screen and appeared in front of them.

A sweet smile spread across his handsome face, making it easy for one to fall under his spell.

Ben’s piercing gaze swept across their face, and then came to rest on Claudia’s. A moment later, his eyes shifted to Marshall.

“It seems that you have plenty of time, Mr. Cooper.”

Growing up in high society, Marshall knew how to conduct himself. He was flexible and adaptive. Therefore, just in an instant, Marshall recovered himself and looked at Ben, with his gentle face hard to read.

“I’m on rounds. I came to check on Claudia and her baby in passing.”

Ben gave a cold smile and walked over to Marshall slowly. “What? Cardiothoracic surgeons start to do rounds in Obgyn too?"

Marshall frowned and said, “So you’re saying that I can’t check on my ex-fiancee?”

“Ha!”
