Worship The Ground You Walk On

The whole bedroom instantly went quiet.

Claudia felt tired and exhausted from his torture. She curled up in the corner but couldn't sleep. She hugged the comforter and lay there in a daze. After a long time, she got up and went to the bathroom.

Claudia had to brace herself and grit her teeth against the pain with every step she took. When she got to the bathroom, though it was only a dozen steps, she felt so much pain that her palms were covered with a thin layer of sweat.

She turned on the showerhead. The sound of rushing water and the hot steam lingered throughout the bathroom.

Claudia lay in the tub. Hot water wrapped around her body, making her feel as if the pain and fatigue had been instantly alleviated.

However, the words that Ben told her when he left suddenly came to her mind.

“You can continue to play tricks and plot against me, but you'd better not let me catch you!”

“Otherwise, next time, I won't deal with you as simply as what I just did. I have plenty of means and tricks. If you want to try, try then!”

She felt her chest tighten uncontrollably.

She had no time to think about it, and the crying sound of her baby came in her ear.

Claudia climbed out of the tub as quickly as possible, wrapped herself in a robe, and ran out from the bedroom to the nursery. The nanny was holding Conrad. Although Conrad kept crying, as soon as he saw her, he reached out his little hand and wanted to hold her.

“Conrad can recognize his mother. That's wonderful!” The nanny said as she handed Claudia the baby.

Claudia smiled and held her son in her arms. When she looked at his little fair face, her worries seemed to dissipate instantly.

The next morning, Claudia was with her baby upstairs. The nanny came running up, “Mrs. Crawford, Miss Lewis is here!”

Claudia froze and left the baby with the nanny. Then she went downstairs by herself.

Hanna was dressed in a light-colored lady's suit, looking dashing with the competence of an elite woman. She looked at her with gentle eyes, “Mrs. Crawford, I hope 'm not interrupting you, am I?”

Claudia shook her head and smiled back at her.

“But why do you look so bad?” Hanna asked.

Claudia was startled. And her eyes showed a slightly flustered look, which made her look more embarrassed.
