Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister novel Chapter 385

"I really can't help her." Clara looked at Helena seriously. "I don't want to ask what happened between she and Horace, and I can't ask either."

"Why can't you ask?" Helena was more anxious than Laura. "Just tell Horace to forgive her. What kind of contradiction can there be between the two of them?"

"It's not that simple," Clara didn't know how to explain the whole thing to Helena. "And you should know my relationship with Horace now. I really can't help her with this matter."

Helena wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Laura. "Aunt Helena, it doesn't matter if Clara is unwilling to help me. I'd better appeal to Horace's mercy myself."

After saying that, Laura was about to slide out of the wheelchair with tears in her eyes.

Of course, Helena wouldn't let her go so easily. "Laura, don't leave now. I'll talk to Clara. She will help you."

After saying that, Helena turned around and grabbed Clara's hand. "Clara, please promise me. I beg you, okay?"

Hearing what Helena said, Clara didn't know what to do. It was impossible for her to say yes, but she couldn't say no for a moment.

Just when she was in a dilemma, Laura spoke.

"Aunt Helena, I'd better find a way by myself. I've done something wrong to Clara before, and it's understandable that she doesn't forgive me now. I'd better not ask her for help anymore."

Tears streamed down her cheeks, but she didn't wipe them. She just let them flow, which made her lovingly pathetic.

Regardless of Helena's dissuasion, after saying that, she left the ward. Helena hurriedly caught up to comfort her, and there was only Clara left in the ward.

Every word that Laura had just said in front of Helena implied that Clara was narrow-minded and vindictive. Clara felt very aggrieved. Was this the real purpose of Laura's agreeing to donate bone marrow?

After a short while, Helena came back with tears in her eyes. She held Clara's hand and sobbed

"Clara, I beg you. Please speak for Laura and talk to Horace. It's pathetic for Laura to lose her legs. She likes Horace so much. If he doesn't talk to her anymore, there will no hope in her life."

Hearing what Helena said, Clara couldn't help feeling disappointed. It turned out that Helena also knew that Laura liked Horace. Since she knew, how could she say these words to her?

Even if Clara got in bad with Horace now, he was still her ex-husband. Now Helena asked her to persuade her ex-husband to reconcile with another woman? How ridiculous!

Besides, since she came to hospital, Helena didn't care about her at all. All her attention was on Laura. It seemed that her adopted daughter was not as good as her biological daughter.

Although Clara thought so, she tried to be polite, "It's not that I don't want to help. It's just that I have divorced Horace. I have no right to interfere in his affairs. I don't want to have any contact with him anymore. Let them solve their problem themselves."

Clara thought that since she made it clear, Helena might have given up. But she didn't expect that Helena still wouldn't let her go.

"Although you have divorced now, one day of love between husband and wife cannot be easily forgotten. I believe that Horace will listen to you. Can you call him and ask him to forgive Laura?"

Looking at the begging in Helena's eyes, there were mixed feelings in Clara's heart. She remembered that Helena was the last person to ask for help in the past. But she could give up so much for the sake of Laura.

It seemed that she had to tell truth to Helena. Maybe Helena would not make trouble for her like this after Helena knew the whole thing.

Suppressing the bitterness in her heart, Clara said coldly, "Do you know why Horace ignored Laura?"

Hearing this, Helena was stunned, and then shook her head. "No matter what happened, he can't turn his back on Laura. Her legs are disabled, so he should at least give in to her. How can he be so cruel to ignore her?"

She tried her best to hold back her anger, "Five years ago, Laura conspired with others to kidnap me and wanted to find someone to rape me. Fortunately, I was saved by Logan. That's why Horace ignored her."

"That's impossible!" Helena covered her mouth in disbelief. "Laura is so kind. How could she do such a thing?"

Kind? A bitter smile appeared on Clara's face. Only Helena would think that Laura was kind. "Do you think I will make up such a story to lie to you?"

Seeing the seriousness in her eyes, Helena also realized that it might be true. Had her daughter really done such a thing?

"Clara, I apologize to you on behalf of Laura. I'm sorry. It was all her fault. She was thoughtless. Please don't take it seriously. Now that she really knows she is wrong, please help her beg for mercy from Horace. Since the reason why Horace was angry with Laura lies in you, it means that he still loves you. He must listen to you."

Hearing this, Clara looked at Helena in shock, "Even if you know that Laura has done such a thing, do you still want me to intercede for her?"

They had lived together for so many years. Didn't she have any place in Helena's heart?

Seeing the undisguised sadness on her face, Helena was also a little torn. This request was indeed a little too much, but when she thought of the crying face of Laura, she really felt heartbroken.

"Clara, I've watched you grow up. I know you're the kindest person in the world. Please be magnanimous and forgive her. As you can see today, she cried so sadly. She really knew she was wrong. Please help her. She will remember you all her life."

Clara felt like her heart was broken. Helena's words, which were as cold as the wind, made her tremble all over.

Even if she was not her biological daughter, she had called Helena "mom" for over 20 years. How could Helena treat her like this? Did Helena only have one daughter in her heart? Then who was Clara?

Clara didn't want to stay here any longer, so she said in a hoarse voice, "I know. I'll think about it. Have a good rest first. I'll come to see you again when I have time."

Hearing that, Helena was overjoyed. "Think it over. Call me when you have decided. I'm sure Laura will be happy to know it."

In the end, it was she who couldn't straighten out her thinking? Her eyes glistened with tears.

After exhorting Helena to take good care of herself, Clara left the ward.

Without driving, Clara walked slowly on her way home. The slightly cold wind blew away the tears on her face several times.

Today, she lost a family member, emotionally.
