Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister novel Chapter 293

Clara knew from the very beginning that Laura would not believe her, so she explained, "That is the truth. Helena Selman is indeed your mother. Now she has leukemia and you are the only one that can save her since you are her biological daughter and your marrow can possibly match hers."

Not understanding any of Clara's words, Laura thought that Clara was going crazy because of her provoking sarcasm.

"Madwoman," after another glance at Clara, Laura did not want to talk with her anymore and turned around to go upstairs.

"Wait! You can't go!" Clara hurriedly stopped Laura, "You were kidnapped after you were just born and my mom saved you, right?"

"How do you know that?" Laura was puzzled.

"Logan told me that and I also asked my mom about the whole event. My mom told me that you are actually not the one who was kidnapped. She learnt from the news that the baby girl she picked up was the lost girl of the Hutchinson family, so she decided to keep the Hutchinson girl and send her own daughter to the Hutchinson family so that her baby girl could live a wealthy life."

Clara told Laura the whole story briefly.

However, Laura only found the whole story ridiculous, "So you are telling me that you are the Hutchinson girl and I am actually the Selman girl?"

"Yes," Clara nodded seriously, "My mom told me the whole story. You must believe me!"

"Why should I?" Laura shouted at Clara, "Clara Selman, indeed, I admit that I once underestimated you. You are actually "clever" enough to make up such a lie. However, I won't believe you."

"You can ask my mom in person. Let's go to the hospital now and then you will know the truth," Laura's disbelief made Clara anxious. She grabbed Laura's arm and said, "Let's go to the hospital now."

"Well, Helena is your mother. She is definitely on your side," Laura flung Clara's hands away, "Clara Selman, you are more than ridiculous."

"If you don't trust me, we can do a paternity test. The results must be reliable, right?"

The anxiety in Clara's expression was more than real and her tone was so firm that Laura began to doubt her true identity.

No, it could not be! Laura secretly shook her head and dismissed the doubt. She calmed herself down and convinced herself that Clara must be lying—how could it be possible that she was actually a Selman girl after living with the Hutchinsons for so many years.

"I won't believe any word of you," Laura retorted aggressively and gave Clara a push, "Why did you make up such a lie? What do you want?"

Laura's push made Clara stumble and nearly fall to the ground. Yet, at that moment, Clara did not care about whether she would fall down or not at all since Helena's health and life was the most urgent.

"I want nothing from you. Now your mother has leukemia and needs a matched marrow. You are the only one who is biologically related to her, so only you can save her."

"Well, you are tricking me into saving your mother, aren't you?" Laura finally made everything clear up and was relieved. As expected, Clara was definitely lying to her.

"Yes, I want you to save my mother. Yet, I am not lying to you!" realizing that Laura still did not believe her, Clara began to exert her wits to figure out a way to prove her words and win Laura's trust.

The birthmark! It occurred to Clara that she had the birthmark. She remembered that Logan told her that it was the birthmark that helped the Hutchinsons find Laura.

"Is there a birthmark on your waist?" Clara asked hurriedly.

"Your mom told you that, right?" Laura had already recovered her composure. She crossed her arms on her chest and said, "Yes, I have one. So what? Tell me your story about that birthmark."

"Look," without hesitation, Clara pulled up her shirt, which exposed the birthmark on her waist.

"Impossible!" Laura turned pale when she saw the birthmark.

"I was born with it. The one on your waist was actually a scar burnt by my mother in order to convince the Hutchinson that you are their real child. Now, can you believe me?"

Laura was stupefied by Clara's words. Indeed, Clara could make up a perfect lie, but her birthmark was real.

Laura could still remember that, once when her mother was bathing her when she was a child, her mother slightly touched her birthmark and said, "This butterfly can bring you luck. Without it, I can't find you, my sweetie."

The same birthmark on Clara's waist, together with the certainty in her expression and her tone, successfully made Laura believe Clara's words. It was quite possible that she did not belong to the Hutchinson family.

Laura glared at Clara, furious fire flaming in her eyes.

She began to shout secretly in her mind, "It could not be! Clara Selman had already stolen my man from me. How could she appear again now to rob me of my brother and my family title?

"No way! I could never let Clara win! I am the real Hutchinson girl. I am never the daughter of a maid. She is lying to me! She must be lying to me!"

Concealing the inner panic, Laura faked her composure and shouted at Clara, "You can never trick me into believing you only by a birthmark. It is also possible that you made it on purpose."

Laura was again relieved after she retorted back. She was convinced by her own reason that it must be Helena Sleman, as a maid who once saw the birthmark, who made the same mark on Clara's waist on purpose.

"They are lying to me for money! How disgusting! I will never let them off!"

Laura tried to convince herself with a reasonable excuse.

"Laura, your mother is waiting for you! You can't blind yourself!" Clara cried helplessly when she realized that her words did not convince Laura.

"Shut up! My mother was dead," Laura pushed Clara towards the door, "Get out now and stop your bullshit or I will ask someone to kick you out!"

"Laura, please listen to me. Your mother needs you! You…" struggling from the push, Clara made up her mind to take Laura to the hospital.

"Get out! Get out! Get out!" turning on a deaf ear, Laura shouted loudly and pushed Clara outside the house with a surprisingly great strength.

"Laura, please listen to…"

Laura slammed the door shut and the loud bam interrupted Clara's talking.
