Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister novel Chapter 458

"You can't get off the bed, Ma'am. You are not in good condition so please rest in the bed."

"No, I'm fine. I want to check on my daughter, please, or I can't stop worrying."

That was what Clara saw when she walked into the ward where Helena was arguing with a nurse. She knew, though, the daughter that Helena was talking about must be Laura rather than her.

The nurse was relieved at the sight of Clara. "You must be her family. Please persuade her to stay in bed. The patient was still having a infusion."

While Helena was still mad at Clara so she didn't say anything to Clara and tilted her head away, which hurt Clara a bit, but she soon contained her emotions.

"Thank you, nurse. I'll make sure she finishes the infusion." Walking to the bed, Clara said apologetically.

"Sure. You can ring the bell when it's over and I'll come right back." After saying this, the nurse left.

Sighing in her heart, Clara sat near the bed and said, "Don't worry, Laura is fine and she is resting in her ward. You can visit her once you finish the infusion."

"Oh, is she? Did she wake up? How bad is the wound on her head?" Helena forgot about her anger toward Clara once she heard about Laura but threw a bundle of questions at Clara instead; she was so afraid that something happened to Laura.

"I can assure you that she is fine. She has been awake, no after effects. Don't worry." Fighting against impatience, Clara answered as calmly as she could and meanwhile recalled how Laura had a fight with her. Laura didn't seem to be ill by then.

Helena breathed a sigh of relief. Putting her palms together devoutly, she closed her eyes and mumbled, "Thank God, thank God…"

Opening her eyes, Helena felt regret for how she treated Clara. She knew it was Laura's fault but she was out of her mind when Laura was hurt, so she said something terrible to Clara. Holding Clara's hand and rubbing it gently, Helena started, "Clara, you know I don't mean what I said, right? I was just too worried."

Avoiding eye contact, Clara said with a low voice, "It's fine." Helena had raised her up so she didn't think she hold the right to blame Helena.

"Clara, I believed Laura didn't mean to hurt you, either. She is a good kid, and I'll teach her to be, so can you forgive her?" Squeezing Clara's hand, Helena asked earnestly.

However, what Helena said only hurt Clara. She took back her hand and refused, "This is not the first time. She will never learn. If I forgive her this time, I'm afraid it will be worse the next time."

"No!" Helena exclaimed. "I'll watch over her and I promise it won't happen again. Please forgive her, Clara. I'm begging you."
