No Strings Attached novel (Clara and Ian) novel Chapter 561

"Dad, they want my child's life. They don't want me to have descendants. So, even if Clara and I separate, she and the child will still be in danger. I must find a way to hide the child."

After saying this, he paced into Casey's hospital room. Michael and Marian were sitting beside, watching Casey's almost steady heart rate on the monitor.

Unable to hold back, Marian wiped away a tear. "Oh, Casey, you have to wake up. You're in this state because you saved Clara and the child. If Clara knew, she'd be so heartbroken."

The moment Marian looked up, she saw Ian, pale-faced, standing at the door. Her lips trembled a few times, trying to offer comfort. "Ian, don't worry. We will find the best doctors for Casey. We won't let Clara lose her father."

Hearing these words, Ian felt even more guilty. The Hayes family had caused the York family's market value to drop by a third, and they still hadn’t came out of the crisis. The two elders didn't have a word of complaint. Instead, they comforted him.

He slowly approached the elderly couple and suddenly knelt down. With tears in his eyes, he said, "I'm sorry."

Michael immediately grabbed his arm. "What silly things are you saying? We're a family. There's nothing to apologize for. We need to work together in times of trouble."

Hearing his words, the first to object was Marian. Crying, she said, "I don't agree with you doing this. It's too cruel to Clara. Her father is in a coma, the child is gone, and then you will divorce her. How do you expect her to go on alone?"

Ian looked up at Marian. "Grandma, I understand Clara. If the child were still here, she would never agree to leave me. Only by saying the child is gone and her father is in a coma will she realize the disaster I bring upon her, and she might agree to separate from me."

Michael nodded in agreement. "I agree with this plan. Clara's temperament is just like her mother's. Once she's set on something, she'd rather die than give up. If we don't give her a shock, she won't agree."
