Worship The Ground You Walk On novel Chapter 6

"Ben..."

Amber held Ben’s arm with her fair hands, and she asked, with her voice as sweet as candies, “Is she going to lose the baby?”

That grating question immediately provoked Winifred.

“Amber, what did you say?"

Amber panicked, and hurriedly explained, “Mrs. Crawford, don't take this the wrong way, I’m just telling the truth. After all, Claudia has been pregnant for so long. If she’s seriously injured, she may lose the baby."

Her voice was gentle, but there was a touch of gloat in it.

Although Amber pretended to be naive and simple, Winifred could easily see her through.

“Don't talk nonsense. Claudia is pregnant with the child of the Crawford family, and the child will become the heir. I'll kick out of here if you dare say that one more time!” Winifred shouted angrily because she was in such a bad mood.

Amber didn't dare provoke her again. She pretended to be wronged and pulled Ben's arm, saying, "Ben, I didn’t mean it. Mrs. Crawford, please calm down.”

In Ben’s eyes, Amber was too to be blamed.

He finally replied, "Just stop talking."

Just by then, the doctor came out of the ER and took off her mask. “It’s nothing serious, but she had been frightened, resulting in contraction. Before the due date, you shall make sure that she's emotionally stable.”

Winifred sighed with relief, “Thank god, my grandson is fine!”

The doctor looked at Ben and hesitated.

She wanted to say something but stopped on second thought.

Ben noticed her and asked coldly, “Anything else?”

"Well, Mr. Crawford..." The doctor blushed a bit and said, “Women can be very vulnerable during pregnancy, so you’d better call off your sexual intercourse for a while before the baby is born!”

“...”

Ben was immediately sullen.

Winifred’s face froze and then she let out a deep sigh.

After the doctor left, she said to Ben, “Although you are a couple, you need to be patient for a while. The child matters most now!”

“...”

Ben’s face seemed gloomy. Other people could easily tell that he wasn’t in a very good mood now.

Amber’s eyes rolled. She felt sick when she thought of Ben having sex with that little bitch, Claudia!

After a while, Winifred looked at Amber, and suddenly asked her, “Where were you when Claudia had the accident?”

“Me?”

Amber was shocked. A scene crossed her mind. She felt a bit scared.

Winifred noticed her micro expression and continued, “You and Claudia have always been at odds, but you couldn’t wait to come here this time after her accident. Who told you to come here?”

“Well...”

“No one else knew this except for the Crawford Family. Amber, did you...”

Before Winifred's sentence was finished, Amber stopped her in fear and hurriedly explained, "Mrs. Crawford, you misunderstood! I'm just worried about Claudia!"

She said with her soft little hands pulling Ben’s arms, "Ben, help me out. You know I won't hurt Claudia, right?"

She spoke gently and looked pitiful, looking like a vulnerable flower with tender petals that men would kill to protect.

“Enough!” Ben's voice was low and imposing, “Stop it, both of you!”

Then he told Nate to send Winifred back to rest. Before she left, Winifred was still confused and whispered a few words to Nate.

The sensation of being illuminated by the dazzling high beam came into Claudia’s mind again. She opened her eyes, soaked in cold sweats.

Everything was pure white, with a strong smell of disinfectant.

She caressed her lower abdomen in a panic, and an icy male voice came,
