Chapter 68 My Baby Is Gone
Claire didn't remember how long she had slept. She only remembered that she had fallen asleep, and her body seemed to be getting lighter and lighter. Something embedded in her blood was being stripped away bit by bit, and she didn't feel the slightest bit
uncomfortable, just more and more unwilling to wake up.
"Mom?" Claire saw a beautiful woman. She had never seen that woman before, but she suddenly found that the woman was familiar, inexplicably familiar. It was her mother. Yes, it was her mother. For so many years, she had only seen her mother in the photo, which was a black and white photo of a long time ago.
Claire grinned, "Mom, is that you?"
The beautiful woman in a white dress nodded with a smile. She was inexplicably noble and flawless, which made Claire want to be closer to her.
"Mom, I finally see you after so many years." Claire seemed to have forgotten who she was and how old she was. She just wanted to throw herself into this woman's arms. Yes, she had been longing for this hug for more than twenty years, and today she could finally get close to it.
The next second, she didn't remember what had happened. She was pushed away by the beautiful woman in front of her. She fell into darkness again, endless darkness.
"Claire, Claire!" A familiar voice kept ringing in her ears. She was extremely sober, but she could not open her eyes no matter how hard she tried.
After a long time, she finally opened her eyes. The face in front of her gradually became clear. She felt relieved at once. It was Chason. "Claire, you finally wake up!"
"I..." Claire felt a sharp pain in her mouth and tongue, and she couldn't make a sound.
Chason gently smoothed the hair on her forehead. Looking at her pale face, he felt heartbroken. When Claire was completely awake, she would definitely know that their baby was gone. How should he say to her? "Claire, let me feed you some water."
Claire felt much better after taking a sip of warm water. What's wrong with her? She remembered that she had been sleeping at home before, but why was she lying in the hospital now and couldn't move at all. "I... What's wrong with me?"
"It's okay. It's just the sequela of the allergy. You can have a good rest." Chason tried his best to pretend that nothing had happened. He couldn't bear to hell her.
Claire frowned and felt a sharp pain in her abdomen. Although she could bear it, it made her feel uncomfortable. She slowly raised her hand that was being infused to touch her belly, but Chason stopped her. "Claire, the doctor said you shouldn't move." Claire was stunned for a while and said weakly, "is our child all right, Chason?"
He knew that Claire would soon feel something different. As a woman, she was more sensitive to these things than anyone else. He took off the bitter smile at the corners of his mouth and comforted, "it's okay. Everything is fine. You just woke up. The doctor asked you to have more rest. I'll feed you something. Can you sleep a little longer?"
When Claire fell asleep again, Chason felt a little relieved. But this was not the way. Claire would know it soon. He felt as if a knife were piercing his heart when he thought of her desperate and sad eyes.
While cleaning up the room, the butler said, "Mr. Chason, why don't you tell Mrs. Claire the truth after she wakes up?" It was not a good way to delay it. Ralph was an experienced man. He knew that women were very sensitive when they were pregnant and miscarried. He was afraid that if Mr. Chason didn't explain it clearly in advance, Mrs. Claire would think too much.
Chason shook his head and said, "if Claire knows that the baby was aborted because of sleeping pills, she will definitely blame herself. We haven't found out the truth yet. Just hide it from her. "
The butler nodded and said, "Mr. Chason, I have released Fiona as you said. Mia kept cursing and thinking that we were going to hurt her daughter. As for what happened to Mrs. Claire, I didn't tell Linford either."
"Good job." After a pause, he added, "give Mia a sum of money and stop her from telling others."
Even if it wasn't because of Fiona, but considering the way she treated Claire last time, he just tied her up this time and didn't hurt her without any evidence. He didn't go too far.
As for Fiona, because of what happened last time, she had already been kicked out of the Xu family. Now, in the whole S City, Fiona could not find a decent job, let alone marry a rich and good family. However, although Mia loved her daughter very much, once it involved interests, in the face of that large sum of money sent by Chason, she would definitely feel that her daughter's grievance this time was worth it.
However, about whom hurt Claire in secret, there was no progress after several days of investigation. "Mr. Chason, I have checked what Mrs. Claire has eaten, but I haven't found the ingredients of sleeping pills."
Was there something wrong? Chason frowned and said, "so the person behind must have known that we will find out, so he took the opportunity to deal with the food containing sleeping pills. How could he deal with it so quickly?" After a pause, he sneered, "everyone in the villa must be investigated."
The butler nodded, "yes, Mr. Chason."
"Be careful and try to let the murderer give himself away." Thinking of the people in the villa, Chason's heart sank into the ice. Was the Jiang family so unwilling to let go of the child? "Ralph, please ask grandpa to come here."
The butler was stunned. "Mr. Chason, do you suspect Mr. Jarred?"
Chason shook his head and said, "I don't doubt it. Of course I believe in grandpa's character, but he might know something about it. I want to ask him the truth." On that day, when Jarred came to the hospital and said that the child couldn't be kept, he recalled their conversation little by little. Did grandpa really do it? That was his great grandson!
Jarred arrived soon. When he sent Gina away that day, he knew that day was not far away. He smiled bitterly and came to the hospital with his crutch.
As expected, there was no surprise on his grandfather's face. Chason bit his lips and finally asked, "do grandpa know what happened to my child?"
"You suspect me?" Jarred's heart sank. Although he knew that the child couldn't be kept, he couldn't bear to kill him by himself.
Chason shook his head and said, "I know what kind of person grandpa is. Even if you really don't want the child to stay alive, you won't use such a sinister method." He paused, "but, grandpa, do you really know nothing?"
Looking at the closed door of the ward, Jarred finally made up his mind to shake his head. It wasn't that he wanted to cover up Gina, but he subconsciously thanked her for it. After all, she had done something for him that he didn't dare to do.
Moreover, the person who killed the child was the biological mother of Chason! He knew very well that Chason lacked maternal love for so many years. He didn't know how desperate he would be if he told him the truth now. As he grew older, he couldn't bear to see his family members hate each other.
Jarred's reaction was expected by Chason, "I'll find it out even if grandpa doesn't tell me."
"Chason, maybe it was just an accident," Said Jarred slowly, suppressing the complex feelings in his heart.
Accident? What a coincidence! This time, he didn't care about anyone's face. No matter which uncle of the Jiang family his grandfather wanted to protect, he would find out the person. "What a coincidence! Claire had risked her life to protect her child, will she be so stupid as to take sleeping pills?" And now, it was found that all the food could not find the ingredients of the sleeping pills. The evidence was obviously destroyed by the murderer. Was there so many coincidences?
Jarred knew that what he said was in vain. As far as he knew his grandson, even if he dug three feet into the ground, he would find out the truth. "Chason, some things will only be more painful even if you know the truth."
"The truth is about my child's life. Grandpa, please don't say that. I have always respected you for so many years, but I will not listen to you on this matter. Even if it pains me more to find out the truth, I will also find it out." He wanted to give his wife and son an explanation.
"Ah!" As the two of them were talking outside the ward, a sudden scream came from the ward. As soon as he rushed into the ward, he saw Claire on the bed with tear tracks all over her face, looking at him with a broken look in her eyes, "Chason, where is my child?" He rushed over and hugged her tightly. "Claire, listen to me. I'm here. Child, our child... " He had imagined countless scenes of how to say it, but when he really faced it, he couldn't say a word.
"Tell me, where is our child? What's wrong with him?" Claire hit him with both her hands. Why? Why did she find that the baby was gone when she woke up?
Chason let her fist hit him and kissed her on the forehead. "Claire, we will have another child. Don't be sad and hurt yourself." Although he knew how pale these words were, he didn't know what else he could say. If she knew that her child was killed by the Jiang family, what would she think? Besides, he couldn't tell her who killed their child for a while.
Claire sobbed helplessly. After a long time, she asked, "what happened? He was fine before I fell asleep." The night before yesterday, she had clearly felt the baby's fetal movement, how could it be said that he was gone?
"The... The doctor said that you were too weak to keep the baby because of the allergy to seafood. "I'm sorry, Claire. I lied to you, but at least it will make you feel better.'
Claire shook her head in pain and leaned in his arms. "It's all my fault, Chason. I didn't protect the baby well."
Baby, I'm sorry. 'It's my fault. I didn't protect you well.'☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
