Worship The Ground You Walk On novel Chapter 37

“She’s not well at all. She was ill.”

Before Claudia could say anything, Kim beat her to it and replied to Marshall quickly.

Shocked, Marshall froze. “How come?”

Kim answered him, “She had allergic reactions to some chemicals and was almost hospitalized! Not only that, but Winifred also took advantage of it and nearly took Conrad away from her!”

Claudia felt a little embarrassed hearing Kim exaggerating the truth deliberately.

Marshall pulled up a chair and sat down, staring at Claudia with gleaming eyes. “What happened exactly? What kind of chemicals caused your allergy?”

“Well, I will leave you two alone. I’m going to hang out with Conny over there.” Kim pointed at the children’s indoor playground in the distance, where there was a huge pool of ocean balls. Conny must love it.

When the two were left alone, Marshall held Claudia’s hands and stared at her with worried eyes. Looking anxious, he asked with concern, “Tell me, what kind of chemicals caused your allergy on earth? Are you well now?”

Marshall lifted Claudia’s sleeve as he spoke.

He was doing it so rapidly that it was too late for Claudia to stop him.

There was nothing wrong with her fair and tender skin.

Marshall heaved a sigh of relief and let go of her hand at the same time. “Are you alright now?”

Claudia nodded and said in sign language, “I’ve recovered. Just ignore Kim, because she’s being dramatic.”

“The impact of allergies can be anywhere from minor to significant. In the worst case, people may die! Claudia, you need to be more careful!”

As a doctor, Marshall was very sensitive to health issues.

Especially when it was somebody he cared, Marshall wouldn’t treat her lightly.

Claudia shook her head, meaning that she was fine now.

However, Marshall was still worried and gave Claudia a lot of advice. Finally, he came up with something and asked, “Have you taken the medicine I gave you last time?”

Claudia nodded. What Marshall gave her was the decoction of medicinal herbs. All she needed to do was keep it in the fridge, and microwave it before she took it every day, which was really convenient.

Marshall had always been so considerate.

Especially when it comes to Claudia, he would think of everything and take every detail into account.

Except that Claudia’s love was never meant for Marshall.

Therefore, she had no choice but to let him down.

“Did it work? Are you feeling better?” Marshall asked.

Claudia thought a moment. Maybe because she hadn’t given it enough time, or this was the wrong medicine for her condition, she saw no signs of improvement.

Therefore, Claudia replied in sign language, “It’s been years since I lost my speech, and I don’t think you can cure it in a short time. Marshall, I appreciate your hard work, but from now on...”

Marshall interrupted her before Claudia could finish her words.

He stopped her by gripping her hands with his and gave a calm smile, saying, “As long as it takes effect, you’ll be fine. It will take you a long time to regain your speech, but as long as you don’t give up, I believe you’ll definitely be able to speak again someday!”

This was what Marshall had been going for all the time. Claudia and he had grown up together. When they were little, her voice was sweet and pleasant, and that was how she was originally. So, Marshall didn’t care what it took or how much it cost, and he would help her regain her voice in every possible way!

Claudia didn’t know what to say for a moment.
