Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister novel Chapter 343

What a coincidence! It was Laura.

"It's Laura's call, Clara, answer it!" Seeing Laura's name flashing on the phone screen, Helena urged, with obvious love and a smile under her eyes. She missed Laura so much.

Laura was Helena's biological daughter, and even if she didn't care about Helena, Helena wouldn't blame her. She even defended her. She was so happy to hear about Laura.

"Answer it, Clara, what if Laura hangs up?" Seeing that Clara didn't answer the phone, Helena hurriedly urged again, and there was a hint of blame in her tone.

Clara felt hurt. She wanted to cry. So that was the difference. She was going to be harshly reprimanded just because she answered the phone a little late

If it was Laura at her place, Helena wouldn't say much, right?

Thinking of her previous worries about Helena, Clara couldn't help but feel a little amused. In any case, she was not Helena's daughter. Helena would never treat her like she treated Laura. She would never be as important as Laura.

Despite all the thoughts in her mind, Clara answered Laura's phone. She couldn't hang up in front of Helena, could she?

"Clara, are you free now?" Laura sounded sweet and harmless, but Clara was on alarm, secretly thinking about what trick could Laura be playing this time.

She had a conditioned reflex towards Laura.

"What's the matter?" In front of Helena, Clara tried to soften her tone as much as possible. Otherwise, she would ask, "What do you want?"

"I'd like to ask you out, if you have time. I'll send the address to you, okay?"

Subconsciously, Clara tried to find a reason to refuse, but then she held back the thought.

Seeing Helena listening to Laura's voice with a happy face, Clara sighed. Helena was just a mother who loved her daughter, what was wrong with that?

Helena raised herself, and she couldn't watch Helena die.

Thinking of this, Clara agreed to Laura's invitation. "Okay, send me the address. I'll go now."

Maybe she could persuade Laura to donate bone marrow to Helena, although the chances of success may be small. She must try.

Clara lived with Helena for so many years, that she could not stand watching Helena die slowly.

She just couldn't do it.

After making an appointment with Laura, Clara hung up the phone. Next to her, Helena stared at her phone, looking lost.

Laura hadn't called her in a long time. She knew that Laura didn't like her. She was too shabby. She was good enough to be Laura's mother. Therefore, she did not dare to call Laura. She didn't want to upset Laura.

Laura had lost her legs. She had to sit in a wheelchair. She had suffered enough. Helena didn't want to make Laura more frustrated. It was all her fault. It had nothing to do with Laura.

"I'll be leaving now. Laura asked me out." Seeing that Helena was deep in thought, Clara raised her voice.

Helena finally pulled back her thoughts. She hurriedly replied, "Okay, see you."

Hearing the envy in Helena's tone, Clara felt something. She couldn't tell if it was sadness or pity. Or sympathy.

She herself was now a mother, so she can understand Helena's feelings about missing her daughter. Only, her daughter was Laura, a heartless, sinister, and vicious woman. So, Helena probably won't have the chance to be intimate with her daughter in her lifetime.

"Take good care of yourself, I'll go now." Clara stood up.

"Come and see me when you have time, and I'll cook your favorite dish."

Helena said the corners of her eyes were a little moist. Clara was also the daughter she raised. She missed Clara too.

But Clara didn't seem to be very close to herself either now. She had asked for it. It was God's punishment. She can't blame anyone but herself...

Clara felt like crying. She recalled herself as a child, laughing and muttering "delicious" to Helena. The picture was so vivid. But she was afraid that those can only become memories. She didn't have the same mood anymore, nor could she feel the same happiness.

"Okay." Clara choked up a little, "Cook for me when you're discharged from the hospital."

"Okay, I hope you will enjoy the food when the time comes." Holding back the tears, Helena said with a smile, but wondering in her heart, "Would that day ever come?"

Nodding, Clara turned and walked straight out of the room. She was afraid that she would cry out if she spoke. She didn't want to upset Helena anymore.

After leaving the ward door, the tears Clara had been holding back finally fell. "Mom," she shouted in her heart, "maybe the fate between us had come to an end."

After leaving the hospital, Clara asked the driver to take her to the address Laura had sent her.

Clara arrived. She looked around at the building in front of her. It was kind of weird. Why would Laura ask her to meet at an orphanage?

Unsure, she called Laura again to inquire. Laura told her that she was now waiting for her in the orphanage and asked her to go straight in.

Afraid that Laura had set a trap for her, Clara hesitated at the door. But thinking of Helena's condition, she gritted her teeth and walked in.

She needed to be very careful.

Seeing the scene in front of her, Clara rubbed her eyes in disbelief. But it was not a hallucination.

Was it Laura? The person playing with the kids?

What tricks was this woman playing?
