Worship The Ground You Walk On novel Chapter 71

Claudia stood by the stairs on the second floor with one of her hand holding the railing of the stairs. A film of cold sweat had already formed on her palms as her eyes were glued to Ben’s shrinking back. Her mind was a blank.

She thought that she could just swallow her medicine upstairs, but she never thought that he wouldn’t trust her to do that. He wanted to make sure the butler was supervising her while she swallowed the medicine…

She could feel her heart thumping furiously, as if with every heartbeat, a huge wave was churning in her body.

The pain was unimaginable.

By the time she came back to her senses, she heard the sound of car engine vrooming. She was worried that the butler would see her standing on top of the stairs, so she hastily sneaked up the stairs.

Such was the human nature. Sometimes, one would rather continue to maintain a makeshift peace rather than learning the truth which is so evident.

By the time she returned to her room and shut the door, she felt a mist forming underneath her eyes, and it began to cloud her vision.

She waited until her emotions came in check and after making sure she wouldn’t act unusually, she returned to downstairs again.

The butler saw her and greeted her politely, “Madam, good morning!”

She saw the housekeeper carrying Conrad, and the child upon seeing her mother, reached out to her with her tiny hand.

Claudia walked towards them and took over the child into her arms.

Then, she signaled to the butler, ‘May I know where is the birth control pills? I can’t find them.’

The butler was startled for a moment before nodding repeatedly. She went to get it and handed to her. Under the butler’s gaze, Claudia unpacked a few pills and swallowed it with the help of some warm water.

She was allergic to birth control pills, and it was especially bad today, seeing that she had consumed them twice.

After not long, while she didn’t eat any breakfast, she felt an intense churning in her stomach. She got butterflies in her stomach, which left her no choice but to put down her baby and rushed to the toilet. Clutching the toilet bowl , she vomited furiously.

She felt like she was going to throw up everything she ate before this, and only until she felt the scent of her stomach acid lingering in her mouth she finally raised her head weakly and went to the faucet to rinse her mouth.

She stared at her pale face in the mirror and thought about the discomfort in her stomach. Compared to her intense heartache, this bodily pain was nothing.

Little did she know, the butler had seen all of that. She stood outside the washroom and couldn’t help but sighing. If Claudia didn’t bring up the topic of the birth control pills, she didn’t actually want to let the madam consume them.

The young master and the madam were couple, and they had superior conditions for raising a child. Even if they had a second child, that wouldn’t be a problem.

However, the butler could discern that Claudia was a very understanding girl. Sometimes, she knew how to read between the lines, and she was very mature for her age, which made people feel sorry for her.

When Hanna came over, Claudia was holding Conrad and they were enjoying the scenery in the little garden. The little one didn’t like flowers and plants, but in the face of bright colors, he still felt something special about them.

His tiny hand was grappling at one of the flowers, but when the flower was being dangled in front of him, he seemed to lose interest in it immediately.

The housekeeper smiled, “When the young master grows up, he would be a heart-throb!”

Claudia shared the same sentiment too. This little one was good looking since he was a baby. He had milky skin, dark and distinct eyes, which resembled Ben a lot even at this age. Who knew how stunning he could be when he grew up?

Hanna came towards them with the butler at this moment, and when they saw this scene, they couldn’t help but laugh. When they were close, Conrad was the first to notice them. He was holding his tiny arms wide, signaling them for a hug.

“Hey, my Conrad, you’re a good boy!” Hanna walked towards them and held her arms wide too.

Claudia saw her and satisfied the baby’s wishes as she handed the baby to Hanna.

Hanna cradled Conrad for some time and cooed him before returning him to the housekeeper. Then, she said to Claudia, “I heard that you are back, so I want to come here to see you…”
