You and Your Husband Really Have a Great Relationship

Claire realized she had been staring at him for too long and quickly looked away.

After he got up and washed up, he left the hospital room.

At that moment, a nurse came to change Claire's dressing. While treating her wound, she said earnestly, "Miss Bennett, you and your husband really have a great relationship."

Claire responded awkwardly.

Unexpectedly, the nurse changed the subject and, looking at the injuries on her body, said, "But you two should still be a little more restrained. You're still injured. It's better to wait until you're healed before having married life."

Hearing that, Claire practically wanted to cry.

It had to be that Naomi Pierce's video had been too loud last night and made people misunderstand. This nurse couldn't possibly think that she and Julian Sterling had done something shameful in the hospital room, could she?

Why was she always the one catching the stray bullets?

Claire felt like she was taking the blame every waking second.

The nurse seemed to notice Claire's embarrassment and felt she'd talked too much. All kinds of things had happened in hospitals before, and this was actually pretty normal. At least Claire and Julian Sterling were husband and wife; she'd even seen family members of patients who didn't know each other hook up.

She quickly comforted Claire and told her not to take it to heart.

Claire gave a light cough and changed the subject. "When can I be discharged?"

The nurse didn't say any more. She smiled and said, "I'll ask your attending physician for you in a bit. Your injuries aren't serious. If you don't have any discomfort, you should be able to leave the hospital."

It was just that this young lady's husband was too worried about her and insisted she stay in the hospital for observation. Otherwise, she could have been discharged yesterday.

After the nurse finished speaking, she packed up her things and went out.

Bang! The door to the hospital room was suddenly shoved open with force.

"Claire." Ruby Sterling strode in like a whirlwind, grumbling unhappily, "How did you get hurt? Who the hell did it? I'm going to stab her! This is way too much!"

Claire looked up at her. "Ruby."

Ruby had just gotten the message that something had happened to Claire, so she hurried over to see her. When she saw her in a cast and wrapped in bandages, she got so angry that she dragged out the culprit and cursed her out all over again.

"Have you found out who did it yet?" Ruby asked.

Claire shook her head and said, "No. I haven't had time to investigate yet. I'll deal with it after I recover. But I did find something good."

Ruby immediately pressed for gossip. "What good thing?"

Next, Claire showed Ruby the video she had downloaded.

After watching it, Ruby couldn't help clapping in delight. Smacking her lips in amazement, she said, "Who would've thought that little bitch wasn't exactly loyal either. She and Ethan Sterling are birds of a feather. Let's find the right opportunity and expose this video!"

The corners of Claire's mouth lifted slightly. She was planning to do exactly that.

Without even thinking, Ruby knew who had sent the video to Claire. She hmphed and said, "Didn't expect him to be not completely useless after all."

"Who are you talking about?" Claire asked in confusion.

Ruby remembered that Claire had just said she didn't know who had sent her the video.

She quickly changed the subject and said, "I mean... your husband. Since you were injured and hospitalized, he helped take care of you, right?"

Thinking of Julian's meticulous care over the past two days, Claire couldn't help curling her lips into a smile. "Yeah, he's a very responsible person."

Seeing Claire's expression, Ruby's eyes lit up.

It looked like Claire had a good impression of her brother. It seemed the day Claire became her real sister-in-law was coming soon!

Naomi Pierce walked out of the hotel on shaky legs.

From last night until now, she had thoroughly serviced Kevin Parker and nearly worn herself out. That brainless man had been so bewitched by her that he'd practically lost his mind, even saying he'd almost died on top of her. Not only had he agreed to take the blame for framing Claire Bennett,

after she said she'd give him a sum of money, he also agreed to kidnap Claire Bennett and film himself with her, then hand the video over to her.

Claire Bennett had always kept herself pure; Ethan Sterling had never touched her.

If he saw pure, innocent Claire Bennett lying beneath another man, wild and wanton, who knew how furious he would be.

After that, Ethan Sterling would absolutely never look at Claire Bennett again!

Naomi sneered smugly and walked away.

At the hospital, Claire had already packed up all her things. She was waiting for Julian Sterling to get off work so he could handle the discharge procedures.

Today, the doctor said she was no longer in any serious condition and could go home to recuperate.

Claire waited until it was dark, and Julian Sterling still hadn't come. She felt a little disappointed. He wasn't going to come today, was he?

Maybe after spending one night in the hospital, he couldn't take it anymore and had run off.

In the end, Claire could only handle the discharge procedures herself and take a cab back to the apartment.
