Chapter 160 Claire Visited the Gynecology Department
Josie felt uncomfortable when he was overly concerned about her. “Not really… It was my fault. I have a few vicious rivals at work.”
Matthew did not believe her and seemed worried about her. “Jo, I’ve told you that you don’t have to pretend to be strong before me. You can rely on me.”
His words had gone overboard. Josie glanced at Marilyn’s suspicious expression and said quickly, “Matt, I know you see me as your younger sister, but I’m doing well, so please don’t worry.”
Matthew understood her hint and adjusted his attitude. He shook his head helplessly and replied, “Please don’t get into something like that again and make me worry, okay?”
“Sure, of course.” Josie smiled.
Later, Josie and Marilyn left the ward and got into an elevator. Marilyn held Josie’s arm to support her and asked tentatively, “Jo, was that doctor your relative?”
Josie knew Marilyn would ask about Matthew and had prepared an answer. “No, Marilyn. He’s my father’s lead doctor and is a kind man. He knew I was facing difficulties and was concerned about me. My father could have died long ago if not for his care.”
Marilyn was not wholly convinced. “He treats you as his sister?”
“Yes, how else can he treat me?” Josie could not help but feel guilty after saying that.
“All right, then. Jo, you now have Dex, who will handle everything for you. No matter the situation, Old Mr. Russell will always be on your side. As for Dex, being in the position that he is, he will never allow his wife to get into trouble,” Marilyn did not ask any more questions. but explained cryptically. “The two most important members of the Russell family like you very much.”
Josie pursed her lips and nodded. She did not dare to reveal that she and Dexter were only husband and wife on contract. She knew he did not like her much.
When the elevator reached the ground floor lobby, Marilyn slapped her thigh and exclaimed, “Oh no! I left the thermos in the ward. I need to go upstairs to get it.”
Therefore, Josie went to a chair in the lobby and sat down.
The hospital was one of the few places in the world that never lacked customers. It was always crowded with patients no matter the hour Eyewone bad wowied looks on their
Josie found herself looking at the gynecology department before her. There was a long line along the corridor. She noticed a few young women crying and heavily pregnant women smiling contentedly.
Josie focused on the people lining up and suddenly noticed a familiar figure. The woman held a paper and limped out of the department.
That’s Claire!
Josie was shocked. She narrowed her eyes and confirmed the woman was Claire.
Why is Claire here? She is still injured. Shouldn’t she be in the general ward? Could she be pregnant?
Josie sensed something was wrong the more she thought about it. She slipped among the crowd and followed Claire. Meanwhile, Claire did not realize she was being followed and headed to the underground car park. She walked slowly due to her injuries.
The bodyguards had beaten Claire enough to keep her bedridden for half a month. Yet, she was out of bed and went for a checkup at the gynecologist department.
Josie believed Claire did not drive to the hospital by herself. Instead, someone was waiting to pick her up at the car park. However, she never heard that Claire had a boyfriend.
Josie sent Marilyn a message as she trailed Claire, saying that she would leave ahead to go to Russell Group to see Dexter.
Marilyn soon messaged back. ‘Please be careful.’
Josie focused ahead and saw Claire take many turns before walking toward a Mercedes Benz. A man exited the car and opened the door before helping her in.
The car park was too dark for Josie to see that man’s face. However, his body shape seemed familiar. Josie could not recall where she had seen him. Unfortunately, before she could. observe more closely, the man suddenly glanced in her direction. She immediately turned away to herself and felt her heart thumping nervously.
She saw his face in that split second.
