All Chapters of Billionaire's Regret : Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

Jeff's car screeched to a stop at the hospital entrance, he left the engine running and the door hanging open as he dashed through the sliding doors. His chest feeling so tight that he could barely breathe."Claire Clark and Adrian Clark." He gasped at the reception desk and the woman looked up at him."Sir, are you family?""Yes, that's my wife and kid." He replied without thinking. "Where are they?"Her eyes went to her screen and back to him and she picked up her phone and said something into it while Jeff paced.She looked back up at him, smiling apologetically."Fourth floor, pediatric trauma." She said. "Someone will meet you there."Jeff started to leave and then paused, "And Claire Clark?""Second floor, adult surgery." She replied and Jeff nodded.Jeff stood at the reception desk for one full second as the two floors pulled at him in different directions because his son was on the fourth floor and the mother of his son was on the second and he could only go to one of them fir

The chair beside Claire's bed was the most uncomfortable thing Jeff had ever sat in and he had been in it for six hours, his back ached and his neck was stiff but he didn't move.Claire had fallen asleep sometime around two in the morning with her hand still in his and Jeff had stayed exactly where he was.He watched the window slowly lighten from black to grey to the thin pale gold of early morning and he listened to her breathe and every breath felt like something he was personally grateful for.The tube was out now and she was on oxygen through a small nasal cannula, her face was less white than it had been last night but there were bruises developing along her jaw and her left arm was in a temporary cast. The sight of it made something tighten hard in Jeff's chest every time he looked at it.She had reached for Adrian in the crash, he knew she had.He knew without being told because he knew Claire and he knew that whatever else had gone wrong in that car, her first instinct would

Weeks later, they were discharged from the hospital and Jeff insisted on driving them home.Adrian was asleep before they even pulled into the driveway.Claire looked back at him from the passenger seat, his small head was tipped against the window and his mouth was slightly open, his hand was curled in his lap and she let herself look at him for a long moment before facing forward.With Jeff driving them, she couldn't help but notice that they look like a complete family.Eunice was already at the front door waiting for them when they arrived. she took one look at Adrian's sleeping face and gathered him carefully from the back seat and carried him inside without a word.Jeff got out of the car and stood on the pavement and Claire paused in the doorway for just a second and then, she went inside without a word to him. She just left the door open and walked inside and after a moment she heard his footsteps on the path behind her.Eunice came back downstairs and squeezed Claire's good

Claire sat on the couch watching Adrian on the floor in front of her and he had his small robot pieces spread across the rug, his tongue was pressed to the corner of his mouth the way it always was when he was concentrating hard.She watched him fit two pieces together and pull them apart then try again and her chest ached with how normal it looked and how much she had almost lost."Baby." She said."I'm not a baby anymore mom, I'm all grown up now." He whined without looking up from the pieces.Claire smiled, she loved it when he whined like that but what he didn't know was that, he'll always be her baby."Can I ask you something?" She asked."Mm hm." He was turning a small blue piece over in his fingers looking for where it went."Um...Zane's dad... I mean Mr Anderson," She kept her voice light. Adrian looked up now and his eyes were careful in that way he had, the way that always made Claire feel like she was talking to someone much older than five, in a few months, he'll be six b

Claire stood in front of her mirror and adjusted her jacket, she looked at her bare arm where the cast had been for weeks and flexed her fingers slowly, the arm was stiff but it was hers again and that felt good.She had been home long enough.The company needed her and she was going back today whether her ribs liked it or not.Eunice drove her and said nothing the whole way because Eunice knew when words were useful and when they weren't and this morning they weren't because the Claire she knew would not change her mind about this.They turned onto the street that led to Anderson Corporation and Claire saw them before they were even close.Reporters.A cluster of them stood outside the building with cameras and microphones."Damn it." Claire muttered, news of her getting a false identity must have gotten out."Claire." Eunice's voice was careful and Claire clenched her teeth."Keep driving." Claire said. "Drop me at the entrance."Eunice pulled up to the entrance and the reporters sa
