Worship The Ground You Walk On novel Chapter 23

Winifred also immediately noticed Claudia and walked over. She reprimanded Claudia in a low voice, “Claudia, it’s none of your business. Conny’s doing fine with Hanna.”

Claudia was always obedient in front of them, but this time, she was like a totally different person and ignored Winifred, standing still, and holding Conrad tight.

Meanwhile, she looked at Winifred with an obstinate expression. Her clear eyes showed a distinctive certainty.

“Oh my god. You are crazy today. I’m telling you. Give Conrad to Hanna right now!” Winifred burst with rage.

Hanna pretended to be nice, but she was actually trying to make it worse, “Mrs. Crawford, it's OK. Claudia’s Conrad’s mother. She has every right to hold her kid.”

Winifred could not allow Claudia to do anything wrong at such a big party!

She wanted to raise her grandson alone before, but Claudia ruined her plan. It could be imagined how furious Winifred was when she recalled all their grudges.

Winifred pushed away Hanna's hand and stared coldly at Claudia, “Are you deaf?”

Many people from distinguished families gathered under the stage. They were all friends of the Crawford Family. Winifred would not allow Claudia to disgrace her family, so she talked in a low voice and only a few people around them could hear their conversation.

Claudia, however, still held her son and refused to let go.

“Claudia!”

Winifred suppressed her anger and squeezed the name out of her teeth. She almost exploded with rage.

Claudia looked down as quickly as possible, with her long eyelashes fluttering slightly. She could not put her son in any kind of danger no matter how furious Winifred was.

“You...”

Before Winifred continued, Ben walked over hurriedly. He glanced at Claudia coldly without any obvious expression.

“Ben, don't blame Claudia. She didn't mean to do this!” Hanna explained in a natural and graceful manner to show her kindness.

Winifred’s face was red with rage, and she began to grab the child in the next second. However, Ben stopped her in time.

“That's enough!”

He shouted.

Winifred froze and looked at him in surprise.

Ben’s face clouded. He glanced at Claudia with a deep expression. He noticed the stubbornness in her eyes, sighed, and said, “Conrad is too so little. He must be tired. Take him home.”

On getting the permission, Claudia immediately nodded and left quickly with the child in her arms.

Winifred looked at them, opened her mouth but did not know what to say. She had to let it go.

Claudia went home and first helped Conrad take a bath, changed his diaper, and put him on the crib. She stayed with him until he fell asleep.

Then she went back to her room and took the tablet to search the Internet for everything about that nasty disease.

The conversation heard in the bathroom kept echoing in her mind. Was it true or false? She could not tell.

A few days later, Conrad was about to get vaccinated.

Although a rich family like the Crawford could hire a family doctor, Claudia wanted to take her baby out for a walk because the hospital was nearby.

Ben did not come home these days, and she did not ask him, either. Early in the morning after preparing everything, she put Conrad in a stroller and went out of the house.

When the housekeeper drove them to the downtown square. Claudia got off the car and walked to the hospital with her kid.

She couldn’t speak, so she wanted Conrad to have more contact with normal people to learn how to speak.

There were many children getting vaccinated, but since they set out relatively earlier, they didn’t wait in line for too long.

Conrad was lovely. He just cried for a short while when he saw the needle and stopped once the doctor talked to him.

The nurses all said, “What an adorable baby! He'll be a handsome boy when he grows up!”

Claudia smiled slightly and held Conrad to the side to get him dressed.

She turned to the outside and heard the nurse behind her and others whispering, “It's a pity that such a lovely child has a mute mother. Maybe he couldn’t speak in the future!”
