Chapter 232 Did Clara Contract HIV?
In the ward, Celeste sat next to Clara, peeling an apple and handing it to her with a big smile. "Clara, let's get rid of this baby. I found your real dad, and he's gonna take you in and give you a good life!"
"Really?" Clara's eyes lit up. "But I still have to go to jail."
"Don't worry, your dad's got connections. He'll sort it out. Forget about the Johnson Family; they're all heartless!" Celeste used to like Lucas as a son-in-law, but now she couldn't stand him.
Clara was still pregnant, and Lucas hadn't even bothered to visit her.
"I've talked to the Johnson Family. They should at least give you some money, and then we'll get rid of this baby!" Celeste said.
Clara didn't want to carry this baby for another day!
Thinking about all the crap she went through for Lucas, only for him to doubt the baby was his and not even show up at the hospital, Clara was both angry and frustrated.
Molly called, "Celeste, are you nuts? Clara was messing around and got pregnant, and now you're saying it's Lucas's? Don't be ridiculous! Lucas is abroad on business, and the Johnson Family is counting on him!"
Celeste sneered, "You'll regret this. One day, Clara will be the one you can't reach."
Molly ignored Celeste and hung up, then tried to contact Lucas, also wanting to know if the baby Clara was carrying was Lucas's.
For some reason, Lucas's phone couldn't be reached.
Who knew where he was fooling around again!
Celeste gritted her teeth. "That old hag, she'll regret it!"
Clara just wanted to live a good life now, disgusted by the baby inside her.
A masked doctor came in, glanced at Clara on the bed. "Your baby can't be kept. You've contracted several infectious diseases, including HIV. The hospital advises you to terminate the pregnancy."
Clara sat up in shock, staring at the doctor! Her tears burst out! "How could this happen! It's all Lucas's fault! I don't want to die; I'm still young."
The doctor looked at the medical record and then sympathetically at Clara. "Lucas has been a regular patient in our infectious disease department. His condition is quite severe, and he's infected many young women. You're still young; it's better not to keep the baby."
Clara was utterly desperate, crying uncontrollably as she thought, 'What did I do wrong? Why did Lucas do this to me!'
Celeste was also anxious, fearing that if something happened to Clara, she wouldn't also have a chance to be with Ezekiel. "Sir, we don't want this baby. Please take care of the follow-up treatment!"
"Schedule the surgery as soon as possible," the doctor said.
Watching the doctor leave the ward, Clara lay back down in despair.
'I'm not even twenty yet, and Lucas has infected me with HIV!' Thinking about this made Clara's head buzz!
Celeste held Clara's hand, trying to comfort her. "Don't tell your dad about this. His family is complicated. If he finds out you're sick, he'll definitely look down on us. I'll take you home tomorrow."
Clara bit her lip, still a bit hesitant. "Mom, who exactly is my dad?"
Celeste smiled mysteriously. "You'll find out when you meet him tomorrow. From now on, Clara, you'll be living a good life. Your dad is even throwing a party for you, showing how much he values you. As for the illness, I'll make sure you get treated!"
Seeing Celeste's expression, Clara felt a surge of anticipation!
At the Windsor Mansion, Lucy was sneaking around a corner, making a phone call. "Miss, did you contact your mom?"
"I did. She told me to find her tomorrow." Esme was excited at the thought of meeting her mother, whom she hadn't seen in eighteen years.
"Lucy, who exactly is my mom?"
"Don't worry about that. She'll make sure you live a good life. By then, not just the Windsor Family, even Alexander will be at your disposal."
Thinking of Alexander's handsome face and dominant aura, Esme felt a bit eager, thinking, 'Such a good man, why should he only have eyes for Catherine, that clueless bumpkin? Once I am back with my mom, Alexander will definitely notice me more!'
Lucy was about to say more when a cold voice suddenly came from above.
"Lucy, what are you doing here?"
Lucy looked up and met Catherine's eyes. Catherine stood with her arms crossed, her gaze cold and unyielding.
Lucy quickly hung up the phone, her face full of a fawning smile. "I'm cleaning the floor. Aurora said she saw a spider here this morning. By the way, did you just get back?"
"Cleaning the floor? Then continue," Catherine said.
The spot where Lucy was squatting didn't even have a single tile. Surely, the cloth in her hand wasn't for cleaning dirt.
The Windsor Family probably didn't have such a hobby of ordering servants around.
Catherine glanced at her indifferently and turned to leave.
Lucy was drenched in cold sweat as she thought, 'How did Catherine walk so silently? I almost dropped everything in my hands. I feel that Catherine's gaze is strange, as if she knows exactly what I have been doing. No, that can't be. If Mr. and Mrs. Windsor don't notice, how can Catherine, a bumpkin from the countryside, know anything!'
As soon as Catherine returned to her room, she received a message from Alexander: [Ezekiel has a party tomorrow. Would you like to attend with me?]
Catherine: [Sure.]
Ezekiel's ruthless move against Santino had already spread in the circle. Now, he was throwing a party, probably to clear his name.
Charles knocked on the door and peeked in. "Catherine, the Howard Family has a party tomorrow. Will you go with me?"
"Okay, but I've already agreed to go with Alexander. Let's attend together," she said.
Charles swallowed his words, wondering how Alexander beat him to it.
Seeing Charles's frustrated face, Catherine couldn't help but smile. "Charles, I just have a question. How long has Lucy been working here?"
