Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister novel Chapter 396

"And Laura..." Helena was to ask Clara to be nicer to Laura, but was cut out by the sudden phone ring.

Her eyes brightened with a smile as she took out the phone and saw the caller was Laura. She soon answered it.

Just one phone call from Laura could make Helena so blissfully happy. Clara found it ironic when she thought about how she had been worried about her before.

But the next second, she saw Helena's face darken and her tone sounded very agitated, "Laura, please don't cry, calm down, and tell me what happened?"

Clara had no idea what Laura had said to her, and all she could see was tears streaming down Helena's heartbroken face.

"Laura, you stay there. Don't go anywhere. I'm coming to find you. I'll be right there with you!"

As soon as she ended the call, she got off the bed, trying to dash for the door, but unable to keep her footing, she stumbled and fell on the floor.

Clara soon rushed to gather her up, "What happened to Laura?"

"She told me that she was cast out by Horace and has no place to go to, so I've got to go find her," said Helena, crying and getting up to charge toward the door again.

It was raining heavily outside, and she was seriously ill, so of course Clara wouldn't let her go out like that. With the operation coming, what if her condition got worse?

She grabbed Helena by her arm, but before she got to say anything, her hands were violently shaken off.

"Go away! It's raining outside, and Laura can't walk. She can get soaked by the rain. My poor darling, I must go and bring her back!"

When it came to that, Clara was in no mood for whining about Helena's bad attitude.

She stopped her again, and said rapidly, "You are so sick. You won't be able to bring her back even if you find her. Tell me where she is right now, and I'll go find her."

Helena remembered Laura saying that she was outside Horace's house. She then grabbed Clara by the arm, thinking that Clara had lived there, so she should have been more familiar with the place.

"Laura said she's outside Horace's house. Clara, you know about that place better than me, so promise me, you will bring her back," said Helena, crying.

"I will, I will," answered Clara impatiently, "Stop crying. I promise you I'll bring her back."

"Come on, leave me alone and just go," urged Helena, pushing her out of the ward, "Go find her as soon as you can, so she can stop suffering any longer."

"OK, OK. You stay here. Don't go anywhere," Clara said to her worriedly before getting her purse and running out.

"Clara, I want Laura back to me safe and sound!" Hearing the choking voice coming from behind, Clara fought back the soreness of her eyes without looking back.

On her way to Horace's mansion, Clara thought over what she had heard. Why was Laura cast out by Horace? Had Horace heard about the assassination?

If so, her plan to entrap Laura seemed to be working.

Without thinking any further, Clara sped up the car. She had never been so eager to see Laura as much she was at the moment.

When she finally arrived at the neighborhood, she got a mixed feelings seeing everything that had been so familiar to her, evoking the memories about her life there.

She shook her head slowly, saying to herself that it was not the time to look back into the past yet. She then began to focus back on searching for Laura.

She's there! After circling the place for a while, Clara finally spotted her at a gazebo and she seemed to have passed out.

After pulling over the car, Clara ventured into the rain and ran into the gazebo, where Laura was found in coma, all soaked and pathetic.

With a cold smile on her face, Clara felt a delightful satisfaction. When Laura had victimized her, she probably would not have expected herself to end up here.

It would never be too late for her to take revenge. Clara thought about what Laura had inflicted on her, vowing to make her suffer same things!

After hauling Laura onto her car, Clara brought her back to a small apartment belonging to the Hutchinson family and asked a trustworthy help to take care of her.

"Change her clothes," said Clara to the help before she went to get a shower. Drenched with rain and sweat, she felt terrible.

When she came out from the shower, the help had already changed Laura's clothes. The help turned to Clara and said respectfully, "Is there anything else I can do?"

"Make some porridge," answered Clara softly.

The help obliged and left the room with a slight bow.

It seemed as if Laura had sensed Clara's freezing stare as she slowly opened her eyes. She felt at a loss, having no idea where she was.

She remembered calling Helena before she had passed out, but who had brought her here?

As she thought of that, she got up, wondering if Helena was there. However, instead of Helena, she saw Clara in the room.

When the memories kept flashing back to her, she broke down and screamed at her, "Where is it? What are you doing here?!"

"It's a Hutchinson apartment. I saved you." Clara tried to moderate her anger, because she didn't want to confront with her yet.

In order to make sure her plan work smoothly in the future, she had to make Laura think that she was still as naive as she used to be.

"Don't even try! Saved me? If it wasn't for you, I would never have become like this. What on earth do you want?" Laura questioned her harshly with a distorted face.
