Naomi Pierce Is Pregnant

"Don't be afraid. You'll be fine. I'll take you to the hospital right away."

At that moment, Marcus Reed also got the message that something major had happened here. He came in from outside the crowd and asked, "What happened?"

"Assistant Marcus, just now Claire Bennett pushed Naomi Pierce down. Naomi Pierce doesn't seem to be doing too well—she lost a lot of blood."

"Could something be wrong?"

Hearing that, Marcus Reed instantly realized this was no simple matter.

Had Claire Bennett actually pushed Naomi Pierce or not?

He glanced in Naomi Pierce and Ethan Sterling's direction and said to Ethan Sterling, "Manager Sterling, send her to the hospital for an examination first. We'll investigate everything else afterward."

Ethan Sterling picked Naomi Pierce up, got into the car, and headed to the hospital.

Claire Bennett watched the two of them leave and hesitated for a moment, but in the end she followed along. She wanted to find out whether Naomi Pierce had really miscarried.

A private hospital.

Naomi Pierce was being examined, while Claire Bennett, Ethan Sterling, Marcus Reed, and the others waited outside.

Ethan Sterling looked at Claire Bennett with icy eyes and said, "Claire, how could you do this to Naomi? If you have a problem, take it out on me."

Seeing the anger on Ethan Sterling's face, Claire Bennett couldn't be bothered to argue with him.

Even if she won with words now, there was no way she could clear her name.

"Manager Sterling, don't get worked up. If you have something to say, say it calmly." Marcus Reed stepped forward to stop Ethan Sterling.

He had already texted Julian Sterling about this and had also sent people to investigate what had happened, but it seemed everything would have to wait until after Naomi Pierce's examination was finished.

While the atmosphere was tense, the doctor came out of the ER. "Which one of you is the patient's family?"

Ethan Sterling immediately stepped forward. "I'm her fiancé."

The doctor said, "Did you know the patient is pregnant? Her condition isn't optimistic..."

Before he could finish, a burst of hurried footsteps sounded, followed by Tanya Sterling's shrill voice. "What! You're saying Naomi is pregnant?"

Tanya Sterling had just received the news that Naomi Pierce had been pushed down by Claire Bennett, so she had rushed over in a panic.

She had never expected to hear something like this.

If Naomi Pierce really was pregnant, then their relationship with the Bennett family would become even closer, wouldn't it?

If the baby was gone, then Claire Bennett was the chief culprit. She couldn't stand to see Ethan Sterling doing well, so she had definitely done it on purpose!

The more Tanya Sterling thought about it, the angrier she became.

She glared hatefully at Claire Bennett and gritted out, "You little bitch! How could you do something like this to Naomi? This is attempted murder! If anything happens to the baby in Naomi's belly today, I'll make you pay with your life!"

Claire Bennett frowned slightly. "I didn't touch her."

"And you still dare to argue!" Tanya Sterling raised her hand, wanting to slap Claire Bennett hard across the face.

Before her hand could come down, it was caught firmly by a large, well-defined hand.

Everyone turned to look and saw a tall, upright figure appear behind them.

Julian Sterling was dressed in a suit. Although it wasn't some expensive luxury brand, it made him look distinguished and handsome all over, and not like someone easy to mess with.

Surprise showed in Claire Bennett's eyes. "Why are you here?"

Julian Sterling's face was cold and grave. His deep eyes swept over Claire Bennett's body, seeming to check whether she was hurt.

After confirming that she was fine, Julian Sterling's tightly furrowed brows eased a little.

When Ethan Sterling saw this impostor, the fear disappeared from his face.

Before, he had thought this man in front of him was his uncle, Julian Sterling, the president of Sterling International, so he had been wary and afraid. But now that he knew he was a fake, what did he have to be afraid of?

Ethan Sterling walked forward and stared coldly at Julian Sterling. He snorted and said, "Claire Bennett, don't think that just because you've brought this man here, he'll be able to protect you."

Tanya Sterling also snorted in displeasure. "A driver actually dares to act so arrogantly? Be careful or I'll have the Sterling family fire you!"

Claire Bennett's expression was indifferent as she said, "I don't need anyone to protect me. This matter has nothing to do with me, and I don't need to bear any responsibility."

Behind her, Tanya Sterling instantly flew into a rage when she heard that.

"Nothing to do with you?" Tanya Sterling snapped relentlessly. "You're jealous of Naomi. You wanted to kill her and harm a child of the Sterling family, and you still have the nerve to say something like that!"

Hearing that, Claire Bennett couldn't help laughing.

"If I really wanted to go after Naomi Pierce, I should've done it somewhere with no one around. Yet I'd do it in front of so many people and let them see me lay a hand on her? Is it that I'm missing a brain cell, or that there's something wrong with your head?"

When Tanya Sterling heard Claire Bennett insulting her, she was so furious that she wanted to rush forward and hit her again.

But Julian Sterling was standing in front of her, so there was nothing she could do to Claire Bennett.

At that moment, Naomi Pierce was wheeled out of the ER after being treated.

Tanya Sterling and Ethan Sterling temporarily let Claire Bennett off and hurried after her into the hospital room.

Looking at Naomi Pierce lying weakly on the hospital bed with her pale face, Tanya Sterling asked heartbreakingly, "Naomi, how are you feeling? Is there anywhere you're uncomfortable?"
