Chapter 487
Could There Be Something Wrong with Her Belly
"Claire, you're okay! You scared me to death." Ruby Sterling hugged Claire Bennett and suddenly burst into tears. Her body was shaking, and she was obviously terrified.
Old Mr. Sterling's face was tense as he said in a deep voice, "Go call the doctor over and have Megan Sterling and her checked out."
Even though Claire Bennett had just pushed Megan Sterling into the water, Old Mr. Sterling still had to call a doctor for them and have their bodies examined. Only after confirming there was nothing wrong could they deal with anything else.
What's more, Claire Bennett was now pregnant. That was the Sterling family's bloodline, and nothing could be allowed to go wrong!
Old Mrs. Sterling echoed, "Right, it's better to have the doctor come examine them."
Ruby Sterling, who was still worried about Claire Bennett, reflexively stiffened when she heard Old Mr. Sterling's words.
Have the family doctor examine Claire?
Wouldn't that expose the fact that her pregnancy was fake?
No! They absolutely couldn't let the doctor examine her!
Ruby Sterling immediately looked up and said, "There's no need to examine her, right? I think Claire's already awake. Maybe she's fine. There's no need to waste time on an examination."
After saying that, while no one was paying attention, Ruby Sterling winked at Julian Sterling.
Bro, hurry up and think of something! It's about to blow up!
Julian Sterling naturally caught Ruby Sterling's warning. His face showed no expression as he said lightly, "Grandpa, I'll take Claire back to rest first."
As soon as he finished speaking, he bent down and scooped Claire Bennett up in his arms, then headed straight for the upstairs bedroom.
If he took Claire Bennett away directly, there would be no need for an examination.
Even if the doctor came later and wanted to examine her, they would still be able to do something beforehand if they were in the room.
The others hadn't noticed Ruby Sterling giving Julian Sterling that look just now, but Megan Sterling's attention had been fixed on Claire Bennett the whole time, and she saw Ruby Sterling's expression at a glance.
After Julian Sterling and Claire Bennett left, she lowered her eyes slightly, looking thoughtful.
Claire Bennett was pregnant, yet they hadn't let the doctor examine her. Was there some secret they couldn't let others know about?
Could there be something wrong with her belly?
...
In the room, Julian Sterling gently laid Claire Bennett on the bed. He reached out and touched her forehead. It was damp and ice-cold.
Julian Sterling had just changed Claire Bennett into a fresh set of clothes.
Only then did Claire Bennett's mind gradually clear. When she remembered what had just happened, her expression turned grave.
At that moment, a servant brought ginger tea to the door.
After Julian Sterling took it in, he sat down beside Claire Bennett. He held the ginger tea out to her and said softly, "Claire, drink the ginger tea. You'll feel better."
Claire Bennett held the ginger tea and drank it down, and only then did she feel a little better.
After setting down the teacup, she looked at Julian Sterling and asked, "Your cousin, does she have some kind of connection with Ethan Sterling?"
When Julian Sterling heard Claire Bennett's words, his brows knitted slightly. "What is it?"
He usually wasn't in New York, so he didn't know the Sterling family's other relatives very well. Ethan Sterling had indeed been in New York all along before, so maybe he and Megan Sterling had been fairly close, but why was Claire Bennett asking this?
Claire Bennett said in a muffled voice, "Just now Megan Sterling jumped into the water and deliberately wanted to lure me in to save her. Then after I jumped in to save her, she pressed my head down underwater."
Julian Sterling listened in silence the whole time. Only after Claire Bennett finished did he speak. "Claire, Megan Sterling can't swim. She couldn't possibly have done that."
