Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister novel Chapter 398

When she came out of the apartment, Clara gave a phone call to Helena to tell her that she had put Laura up in one of her family's apartments.

"How is she doing? Is she OK?" Helena inquired eagerly.

"She's fine. She's now resting on the bed," answered Clara with a emotionless face, but her tone was soft.

"Good. That's good. OK." Helena took a deep breath of relief and then continued to ask anxiously, "Clara, where is the apartment? She has trouble living on her own, and I can't stop worrying about her, so I think I'd better go there and take care of her."

"That's not necessary. I've got her a help," said Clara, "She has worked for the Hutchinsons for years and is experienced in caring, so don't worry about it."

"You are not doing very well. It's not a good idea for you to rush around. When you get better, I will bring you to see her."

Helena was very grateful to hear what Clara had said, "Clara, thank you so much. Thank you so much for helping Laura."

"Not at all," answered Clara with some pleasantries, "As you have said before, Laura and I should take care of each other."

"I'm so glad that you can think like that." Helena smiled satisfactorily on the other side of the phone. "Now that Horace has abandoned her, and as her mother, there's nothing I can do for her. So please be there for her and help her, Clara."

"Sure." Clara's voice was a little sad. "I have to go now. And don't worry. I'll make sure she is well taken care of."

"OK, OK...Sure, sure," repeated Helena.

As she hung up the phone, Clara raised her head and drew a deep breath. She was so exhausted.

She's so tired from all the show she had put on with Laura and all the talking she had to do with Helena. She was so sick of living like that and so sick of herself being so manipulative.

But she had no choice but to go through it both for her own safety and her child's future. She would make the evil pay her price.

After putting herself back together, Clara walked toward her car. The school should have been over. She felt better when she thought of her son's cute little face and his baby voice.

After walking for a while, she heard the sound of some hurry and frenetic footsteps coming from behind. Out of caution, she was to turn around, but then a strong arm stopped her by strangling her neck.

The next second, an obviously man's hand covered her nose and mouth.

Clara struggled so hard, trying to get free from his grip, but there was such a contrasting difference between their strength that her struggle didn't help loosen the man's grip at all.

Suddenly, everything went black and Clara realized that she had been blindfolded. She started to panic, wondering who those people were and what they were going to do to her.

Clara violently shook her head, trying to make some big noises so that the people around could hear her and came to rescue.

"Stop talking and struggling. We won't hurt you if you behave yourself," said a man in a thick voice.
