Chapter 337
She Must Be Trouble Too
Suddenly, Claire Bennett thought of something. She said to Julian Sterling, "Do you want to come with me to see my mother? She's recuperating in this hospital too."
"Of course! A son-in-law visiting his mother-in-law is only right." After Julian Sterling said that, he added, "But I didn't buy a gift. Can you wait a minute?"
Claire Bennett had known he would say that. She smiled and said, "I bought two bouquets just now, remember? My mother is still lying down right now and hasn't had any response yet. Giving her flowers is enough."
"Okay."
As they spoke, the two of them headed together to the floor where Megan Shaw Bennett was staying.
At this time, Old Mr. Sterling had already finished his examination.
After all the doctors left, Old Mrs. Sterling couldn't help complaining, "Your attitude toward Claire just now was way too bad. She's Julian's wife after all. You should at least show the basic courtesy you're supposed to have, right?"
Hearing Old Mrs. Sterling start lecturing him again, Old Mr. Sterling sulked to himself for a while.
He glanced at Old Mrs. Sterling and said, "I told you long ago that woman wasn't allowed through our door. Julian treated my words like water off a duck's back. Can you really blame me for giving her a dirty look?"
Old Mrs. Sterling couldn't be bothered to say anything more to him.
Old Mr. Sterling said unhappily, "You don't know this, but the moment I saw Claire Bennett, I thought of that woman. Don't you think the two of them look a lot alike? She must be trouble too!"
Hearing Old Mr. Sterling say that, Old Mrs. Sterling's expression darkened.
She muttered to herself, "They really do look quite alike..."
This time, Old Mrs. Sterling didn't refute Old Mr. Sterling, nor did she argue against him. Clearly, she was tacitly agreeing with what he said.
The two of them fell silent for a while, both wearing extremely grave expressions.
A moment later, Old Mr. Sterling said with a stiff face, "The doctor just said that after one more day of observation, I can be discharged and go home. Hurry up and get things ready to handle the discharge paperwork. I don't want to stay in the same hospital as that ill-omened woman any longer!"
Old Mrs. Sterling nodded. "Okay, I'll go get it ready right away."
...
Megan Shaw Bennett was staying in a private VIP hospital room.
After Claire Bennett brought Julian Sterling into the room, the two of them walked together to Megan Shaw Bennett's bedside.
Even though Megan Shaw Bennett showed no response at all, Claire Bennett still spoke on her own, saying, "Mom, I'm here."
In the past, she had often talked by Megan Shaw Bennett's side all by herself. Even without any response, she never felt discouraged. These were beautiful memories for her. As long as her mother could still stay by her side, that was enough.
Although Julian Sterling's expression was cool and detached, he also followed up by saying, "Mother-in-law, I'm Julian Sterling, Claire's husband."
Claire Bennett was a little surprised that Julian Sterling would say something like that too, and a faint smile curled at the corners of her lips.
Right after that, she continued along with Julian Sterling's words and said, "Mom, I'm married now. When you wake up later, I'll properly introduce him to you. You'll definitely like him."
Next, Claire Bennett kneaded Megan Shaw Bennett's hand while talking about what had been going on in her life lately, and Julian Sterling stood behind her, quietly watching her.
When Zane Cole came in, this was the beautiful scene he saw.
His eyes darkened, and his gaze landed on Julian Sterling.
Last time, he had reminded Claire Bennett that this man's identity was not simple, but Claire Bennett had still chosen to trust him.
Later, in order not to affect his relationship with Claire Bennett, he chose to stay silent.
Why exactly had Julian Sterling deliberately concealed his identity in order to marry Claire Bennett?
Could it be that there was something about Claire Bennett that he was after?
