Become the Wife of A CEO

Horace left the elevator with Laura in his arms without even glancing at Clara, which greatly upset Clara.

Considering that Laura passed out, Clara could understand why Horace cared about Laura. Horace was kind, so he wouldn’t turn his back on anyone in need. Thinking of this, Clara felt a little better and quickly ran to follow Horace.

However, hardly had Clara got downstairs when she saw Horace leave in the ambulance. When Clara was wondering how to get to the hospital, she saw Isaac, who had just driven out of the parking lot.

“Isaac!” Clara ran towards Isaac and shouted at him.

Hearing Clara’s voice, Isaac hurriedly turned the car around, stopped next to Clara, poked his head out, and asked, “What’s wrong, Mrs. Kirkland?”

“Do you know which hospital Horace and Laura went to? Can you drive me there?” Clara asked anxiously.

“I’m also going over there now, so just get in.” After Clara got into the car, Isaac raced all the way to the hospital.

Scared by the speed, Clara’s face paled and she felt a bit sick. Nonetheless, she was in a hurry to get to the hospital, so she forced herself not to vomit and didn’t say anything.

Very soon, they arrived at the hospital. After getting off, Clara felt rather sick and almost fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Isaac quickly held Clara. “I’m sorry, Mrs. Kirkland. I was in a hurry just now.”

“It doesn’t matter.” Clara forced a smile. With Isaac’s help, Clara rested for a while before stepping toward the hospital.

Entering the hospital and asking a nurse, Clara was told that Laura was in the operating room for surgery. According to the nurse, Clara quickly found where the operating room was.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Horace was sitting on a chair outside the operating room. Seeing Clara running over, Horace got up and helped her.

After Clara could breathe well, Horace looked at her and asked with a frown, “What are you running so fast for? Why do you look so bad?”

“I…” Clara did not know how to explain her anxiety. She didn’t even know why she rushed here so urgently.

“How is Laura doing?” Clara changed the topic.

Helping Clara sit on the chair, Horace sat beside her. “After surviving the fire, Laura keeps having heart and respiratory problems. We were trapped in the elevator for a long time. She had difficulty breathing due to oxygen deprivation and finally fainted.”

“Then is she in any danger?” Clara asked nervously. Laura loved Horace, and Clara was not very fond of what Laura did. Nevertheless, Laura hoped nothing would go wrong with Laura.

“She said she was used to that, so it shouldn’t be life-threatening.” Horace was not sure.

Both Horace and Clara stopped talking and quietly waited for the end of the operation.

“By the way, did you tell Logan about this?” It struck Clara that Logan was now Laura’s only family member and that they should quickly ask him to be here.

“Yes,” Horace nodded. “I have asked Isaac to do that, so Logan should be on the way…”

Before Horace could finish his words, he saw Logan hurrying here.

“Here he comes,” Horace turned his head to Clara and spoke.

“How is Laura now?” As soon as Logan arrived, he asked.

“She’s still in the operating room.” Horace gave Logan a reassuring look. “Don’t worry. She’ll be fine.”

Hearing Horace’s words, Logan heaved a sigh of relief. Laura was his only family member now and he didn’t want to lose her.

“Horace, thank you for bringing Laura here.” Logan looked at Horace gratefully. “And I’m sorry for misjudging you.”

Only when Laura talked about the fire did Logan realize that he had misjudged Horace. Horace hadn’t left Laura alone in the fire.

Logan had been cold and even said something harsh to Horace since that accident; now he felt guilty for Horace.

“It’s all right,” Horace gave a rare smile. He was happy that they could finally clear this up. “It was reasonable for you to think that way.”

Patting Horace’s shoulder, Logan no longer said anything but looked up nervously at the closed door of the operating room.

Clara couldn’t feel their hostility towards each other anymore. Instead, she found they had a strong bromance.

After waiting for a while, the door of the operating room finally opened and Laura was wheeled out on the bed. Seeing this, Logan hurried to the doctor and asked about the specifics.

“Don’t worry. There’s nothing seriously wrong with the patient. She’ll wake up soon.”

Hearing this, Clara, Logan, and Horace were relieved. After thanking the doctor, Clara followed the nurse to a ward.

Laura was still in a coma.

“There’s something I need to do in the company, so I’ll go.” Now that Laura was fine and Logan was also there, Horace decided to go back.

“Okay. Just go where you are needed.” Logan knew that many things were waiting for Horace to deal with.

With a nod to Logan, Horace turned to Clara and reached out to her, “Let’s go.”

Hesitating for a moment, Clara said, “You go first. Anyway, I’ve taken the day off, so I don’t have anything to do. I want to stay here and wait for Laura to wake up.”

“Okay,” after thinking for a moment, Horace agreed, “call me when you want to go back later. I’ll ask Isaac to pick you up.”

“No problem.” Clara was touched by Horace again. He was always so thoughtful.

After another glance at Laura, Horace left the ward.

Watching Horace getting out of the ward, Clara turned around and met Logan’s gaze.

“What’s wrong?” Clara was a bit confused about the look in Logan’s eyes.

“Nothing,” Logan smiled. “You are really generous. Laura is Horace’s ex-girlfriend and I did not expect you could get along with her well and care about her so much.”

Hearing Logan’s words, Clara gave a bitter smile. She was so generous because she had no choice. Clara didn’t want to be unreasonable and throw a fit. That could do nothing but annoy Horace.

“Laura has said that she is not going to worm her way into me and Horace, so we are still friends. As a friend, I do care about her.”

Logan fell silent after hearing Clara’s words. A while later, he whispered, “No matter what, you’d better keep an eye on your husband.”

“What do you mean?” Clara got nervous and wondered why Logan said this to her.

With a sigh, Logan hesitantly said, “Laura and Horace had great affection towards each other. A man always attaches great importance to his first love, so you’d better be careful. It is for your good.”
