Chapter 234 Getting Carried Away
After hanging up the phone, Clara hurried back to Declan's hospital room.
The reason Declan was receiving treatment in Pariz was because he had been a significant political figure in his younger years. Although he was now retired, he still enjoyed certain privileges.
Declan's benefits were unmatched by most people in the country.
Moreover, many of Declan's former subordinates were now working in Pariz, so when he fell ill, he was immediately taken to the best hospital in Pariz for treatment.
Declan wasn't suffering from any major illness. He had always led a healthy lifestyle, with the excellent physical condition. The reason he fell seriously ill this time was because of an incident three weeks ago at The Windsor Manor, where Alice had infuriated him.
Initially, he didn't feel any discomfort. It wasn't until the middle of the night that Declan started coughing up blood and experiencing chest tightness. The Jones family arranged for a private jet, and within two hours, Declan was at the hospital.
The doctors conducted a week-long examination, scrutinizing every part of his body, but finding nothing wrong. Eventually, they asked Declan if he had been upset recently.
Declan then recounted the incident at The Windsor Manor, where Alice had caused a fight between Clara and Sarah. Everyone present concluded that Alice, whom Alexander had brought back from the remote Collinsport, was not to be trifled with. They believed Alice's bad character was a result of her mother Elizabeth's poor upbringing.
As a result, during Declan's treatment in Pariz, the upper circles of Pariz also heard about Elizabeth, coming to know that she was a woman of extremely low morals.
Some even approached Gideon to ask, "Have you met the woman by Alexander's side? You're closest to Alexander. What kind of woman is she? Is she very formidable, or does she look like a monster?"
Whenever someone asked Gideon such questions, he would coldly reply, "If you ask me about Alexander and that woman again, you'll end up like that tree!"
With that, Gideon would raise his gun and shoot a nearby tree, splitting it in half!
After that, no one dared to ask him again.
These were just minor incidents in Pariz.
At this moment, Clara arrived outside Declan's hospital room, deliberately reddening her eyes before entering.
Seeing Clara's expression, Declan, who was already much better, immediately asked with concern, "Clara, tell me what's wrong. Why are you crying?"
Clara sobbed, "Grandpa, what is so good about Elizabeth? Why is she still so happy? She's still causing trouble. Just now, Elodie cried to me, saying Elizabeth has been frequently seducing Owen these past few days. Yesterday, Simon even mentioned Elizabeth to me and scolded me, saying, 'Clara! Listen to me. If you do anything against Elizabeth, I won't consider you family anymore.' Grandpa, I'm really tired. I want to give up my fiancé and leave the Jones family. I can't take it anymore. Elizabeth's destructive power is too great."
Declan slammed his hand on the bed.
Clara immediately approached Declan's bed with concern, saying, "Grandpa, don't do this to yourself. It's my fault. I always make you worry about me. If it comes to it, I won't marry Alexander."
Declan, however, spoke earnestly, "If you don't marry Alexander, who will you marry? Owen? Not to mention that Owen is about to marry Elodie, even if he weren't, the Tudor family has been almost entirely taken over by the Windsor family. In all of Sunwillow City, no one can rival Alexander."
Clara called, "Grandpa."
Declan looked at his beloved Clara, saying, "Clara, even in Pariz, there aren't many men who can compare to Alexander. Gideon is one, but he already has a girlfriend. Right now, only Alexander is single, Clara!"
Clara immediately burst into tears, saying, "Grandpa, but I've waited for Alexander for six years. He doesn't like me. Now there's that Elizabeth in his life. Even though Alexander doesn't love her, she did give him a child. He now knows that our Guise family deceived him back then. He won't marry me. Given his personality, he might destroy our Guise family. What should I do, Grandpa?"
Declan patted Clara. "Don't cry, Clara. I have a plan. This is not a big issue. The most important thing now is for you to marry Alexander and have a child with him. Once you have a child together, even if I'm no longer around, Alexander won't harm you. Because you will have a child together."
Hearing Declan's words, Clara's heart turned from worry to joy.
But she still put on a troubled face. "But Grandpa..."
"Clara, don't worry. Although I'm old and the Jones family's assets aren't as vast as the Windsor family's, my former subordinates and my reputation in Sunwillow City and Pariz can still hold sway over many people. With me here, you don't need to worry about Alexander not marrying you. You don't need to fear him. I'll back you up."
"Thank you, Grandpa! Thank you! You're the best grandpa. This will surely bring comfort to my mom in heaven, Grandpa." At this moment, Clara appropriately mentioned her deceased mother.
Mentioning his daughter Donna, Declan's gaze towards Clara became even more determined.
Donna was no longer alive, and Clara was her only child. He would ensure Clara's life was prosperous!
"I want to rest for a while. You should go," Declan said.
"Okay, Grandpa. You rest well." Clara left happily.
Once outside, she started humming a tune. After all, Declan wasn't her real grandfather. She didn't care about his illness, worrying about what she would do if Declan died. Now that Declan had promised to ensure she married Alexander, what did she have to worry about?
She could just enjoy herself!
Destroy Elizabeth and then reveal all the truth to her!
The thought made her happy.
Clara hummed a tune off-key with great satisfaction.
"Clara! You're living quite comfortably, aren't you?" A cold voice suddenly descended from above.
