Lost in Mr. Preston's Temptation novel Chapter 22

 

The little boy looked sick and seemed uncomfortable. He cried when the nurse poked his finger with a needle. Ruby cared about him so much and she hugged and coaxed him the whole time.

By how much she loved her son, it was clear that she really loved Steve...

Clara saw Ruby take off her mask, and immediately turned on her phone’s recording and focused on her, suppressing her emotions.

Ruby was focused on her child and didn’t notice Clara at all. After getting her report, she left.

And very quickly, George returned.

George took out Clara’s report and after skimming through it, gave it to her. “Except for a low blood platelet, everything else is normal. “

“Thank you.” Clara thanked him politely.

When she took the blood report, she accidentally caught a glimpse of the stack of report copies. The report at the top had the words “Leo” written on it.

She remembered that after Ruby had left with his son, no one else had come to draw blood.

Clara’s eyesight was great, and she was able to see everything on Leo’s blood report. Her pupils constricted when her eyes reached the blood type column.

The child’s blood type...

“Ms. Rowan, what’s wrong?” George saw Clara looking at the pile of reports and nodded in understanding. “Don’t worry, I didn’t upload your blood report to the hospital system.”

Clara quickly came back to her senses and smiled faintly at him, “Sorry to trouble you, Dr. Deleon. Is there anything else you need?”

George moved his thin lips, and finally said, “No, you can go.”

“If I have the chance, I’ll treat you to dinner. “

“Okay! “

George stood with his hands in his pockets and watched Clara enter the elevator.

Just now, he had called Ethan and had told him about Clara’s physical condition. “She can’t donate blood with this disorder. Ethan, you will kill her by doing this. “

The man on the other end of the phone was silent for more than ten seconds, before he indifferently said, “When the time arrives, I only need her to do me a favor.”

George was speechless, “What is the difference between this and asking her to die?”

“I made a deal with her. I will take back her company for her within half a year. She sold her life to me. “

“...” George understood what he meant and stopped nagging him.

When Ethan mentioned cooperation, Clara could have refused. But since she had agreed, she would have to bear the consequences herself.

...

Because Clara had been in a hurry to bring Mae to the hospital to get her back checked out, she hadn’t taken her family register. This time when she brought Mae back, she picked it up.

Mae was curious. “Young miss, what are you doing with your family register?”

It was too late for Clara to hide it from her, “I am going to the to the city hall with a man to get married.”

“Huh?” Mae’s eyes widened, thinking she had misheard. “I did think Dr. Deleon was good, and wanted you guys to talk, you... you want to marry him?”

“I’m not going to marry him.” Clara didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

She saw Donny call and didn’t have time to tell Mae all the details. “Mae, I’ll tell you when I have time. I have to go to the city hall now.”

She left in a hurry, leaving Mae standing there with a dazed look on her face.

Twenty minutes later, the car arrived at the city hall.

After Clara got out of the car, she saw Ethan standing by a trash can with a cigarette held between his fingertips.

“Sorry Mr. Preston, there’s something that came up...”

“It’s okay, Donny told me.” Ethan put out the cigarette and turned to enter the city hall.

After taking a deep breath, Clara followed after him.
