Semua Bab Love in Twilight: Bab 341 - Bab 350

Mrs. Faber arrived in a hurry, a large bag in her hand. It contained all the things for the mother and children.“How is it, President Lawrence?” she asked Damien.“It’s born.” After having said that, Damien leaned back against the wall.“How are the two children?” Mrs. Faber had a happy look on her face.“Only one.”“How can there be only one? What about the other one?!” Mrs. Faber panicked, anxiety swelling her. “Where’s the other one?”“Don’t ask anymore.”This time, Mrs. Faber did not dare to ask further.It was already night when the doctor transferred Clarissa to a single ward. She was so tired that she could not open her eyes. Her eyelids felt heavy, but she knew the person sitting next to her was Damien.“Where are the children?” she asked weakly.“It’s premature birth. The baby needs to stay in the incubator for ten days. Mrs. Faber is watching the baby.”“Are they well?” Clarissa asked, “How’s the baby girl?”Previously, Bethany had informed her that the baby girl

Clarissa had been deeply fond of the baby girl. Alas, the poor thing was stillborn.“Don’t cry, Clarissa… It won’t be good for your eyes. Look on the bright side! You have a son now. It’s you and President Lawrence’s son.” Bethany comforted Clarissa by patting her on the shoulder.“Okay…” Clarissa sat on the bed and nodded weakly to Bethany. She hugged her knees tightly, but her tears just wouldn’t stop.Bethany was no stranger to life and death, but she was heartbroken to see her old classmate in such a terrible state. She still had work to do and needed to check on other patients, so she asked Damien to take care of her.Clarissa didn’t blame Damien for keeping the bad news from her. After all, he was also the child’s father. He probably found it unbearable and difficult to accept, but he was more frightened of Clarissa’s grief.“Don’t cry. We can have another baby later,” Damien told Clarissa. Then, he moved forward and hugged her.What made Clarissa cry was Bethany’s explanat

Clarissa feared Damien would take it personally. Together with her exhaustion, she didn't text Joseph about Penelope’s request. She feared if she did, Joseph would ask her questions nonstop. If Damien got suspicious and jealous again, things would turn sour.Moreover, Clarissa had lost her much anticipated baby girl. She was still weak and grieving. She wasn’t in the mood to poke her nose in other people’s business.Anyway, Clarissa had told Penelope what to do. She was sure Penelope wouldn’t just wait and sit around. If she could take the initiative to make up with Clarissa for her career, surely she could do the same with Joseph.In addition, when Clarissa proposed the idea to Penelope earlier, Damien didn't voice any objection. Penelope should be smart enough to know working with Joseph would be her only way forward. If they worked together, Damien would no longer interfere in the future. She must’ve been deathly frightened after Damien crushed her by taking away all her projects

Vanessa was thoughtful and honest. One should have been grateful to have a kind in-law like her, at least in a normal circumstance.Clarissa wanted to be grateful too, but whenever she saw Patrick, he would remind her of Theresa’s death. If her mother was still here, Clarissa would have someone to talk to. Things would not have come to this.“What are you doing here?” Damien’s stern voice came from the stairs.Clarissa turned around and saw Damien pressing his lips, his jaw set in a hard line. He was furious.“Damien, we knew you had a newborn baby, so we wanted to see him.” Vanessa said to Damien with a pathetic look. “Where’s the child?”“He’s asleep. You should go to your room and rest,” Damien said to his parents. Then, he urged Clarissa, “You should go upstairs now.”Clarissa didn’t say anything and went upstairs. After that, she heard a rustle downstairs.She was still awake, and waited until Damien got into bed. Clarissa rolled over in his arms to feel secure, but then sh

After Rebecca left, Clarissa continued staying at home for a few days and felt even more depressed. Vanessa’s overly attentive care for her was terribly suffocating.At the same time, Mrs. Faber suddenly requested a leave of absence from Clarissa.“Why the short notice, Mrs. Faber? I just had a baby and need someone to help,” Clarissa said. Mrs. Faber had been serving them in the Lawrence family for many years. Her relationship with Clarissa had improved after their time together in Atherton Garden.Clarissa was reluctant to let Mrs. Faber leave. With her around, she could at least have someone to talk to.Mrs. Faber’s upcoming temporary absence suddenly made Clarissa feel insecure.“Madam, my son is having his exams this week. I want to go back to be with him. Can I?”Clarissa understood at once. “I see. Alright.”“I’ll go back tomorrow. I’ll stay with my son for two more days after the exam, so I’ll be back in five days. Is that alright?” Mrs. Faber asked. “Sure.” Clarissa
