Chapter 504: Chapter 504: Stabbing a Brother Twice for a Beauty (Part 2)
Quinn Thorne immediately agreed, "Alright."
This wedding arrangement with The Lawrence Family really needed to be resolved.
After coming out of Anya Forrest’s hospital room, Raina North was prepared to visit Old Master North.
"Master, you’re here." Faye Shelby had been keeping watch in the hospital room.
"How’s the situation?" Raina asked.
Faye shook her head, "Master, Old Master’s condition has gotten even worse. Several resuscitations were needed during the day, and the times he’s conscious are becoming shorter. If no solution is found soon, I’m afraid he won’t hold on for much longer."
Old Master North’s condition was evidently much more severe than Raina had estimated. The rate of his organ failure was very rapid, necessitating immediate surgery to remove the diseased areas. However, his age would not allow him to endure until the surgery’s completion.
This was also why she hadn’t performed the surgery earlier.
Initially, she intended to use this time to nurse Old Master North back to health. But his condition had unexpectedly deteriorated.
Now, she had no choice but to go through with the surgery.
Faye let out a long sigh, "If only we had a Revitalizing Pill."
Raina was well aware. The Revitalizing Pill was reputed to bring the dead back to life. This kind of pill was extremely difficult to concoct, but Raina was capable. The main challenge was that one of the ingredients in the formula was already extinct.
"You’ve worked hard these days. Leave the issue of the Revitalizing Pill to me."
Raina provided a few more instructions before leaving.
As she passed by the corridor, she unexpectedly spotted Claire North.
Seeing Claire suddenly reminded Raina of previous matters.
Since Claire hadn’t been pregnant, she wasn’t Baby’s mother.
So who was Baby’s mom?
And where was her Bobby?
A pile of doubts pressed on her mind, urgently needing answers. Raina wanted to call out to Claire, but she noticed something strange about her.
Claire seemed to be there to visit Beau Shelby, but she hadn’t gone in. Instead, she hid in a corner as if waiting for something.
It wasn’t until the nurse left that she quietly slipped into the room.
But she stayed for less than a minute before sneaking back out.
However, as soon as she left, something unexpected happened to Beau Shelby.
Raina thought to help, but seeing the doctors rush in, she decided against it.
Raina stepped out from the shadows and stopped Claire from leaving.
"Ah!" Claire was visibly startled. Once she realized it was Raina, her expression turned cold, "Raina, what do you think you’re doing? Trying to scare me to death?"
"What did you do?" Raina asked coldly.
Claire’s eyes flickered, "I don’t know what you’re talking about."
"I followed you all the way. I saw how you avoided the cameras, sneaked into Beau Shelby’s room, and then left. As soon as you did, Beau’s condition worsened..."
Hearing Raina’s words, Claire suddenly looked like she had been caught on a sore spot and jumped up, "You were following me!"
"I’m not that idle. It’s you who should explain why you ran if you did nothing wrong."
"Raina, don’t falsely accuse me. I just had a little misunderstanding with Mrs. Shelby and didn’t want to argue with her. Beau loves me so much, do you really think I would harm him?"
"I didn’t say that, but..." Raina looked Claire over, "Beau’s accident happened so suddenly. You probably don’t know he called me before the accident..."
"What did he tell you?" Claire immediately rushed forward, agitated.
Seeing her agitation confirmed Raina’s suspicion that Claire was connected to Beau’s accident, possibly because Beau knew one of Claire’s secrets, leading Claire to silence him.
Connecting this to Beau’s request to meet her before the accident, Raina’s intuition told her Claire was involved.
Raina’s mind worked quickly, deciding to test her.
"He told me you’ve never been pregnant..."
