Worship The Ground You Walk On

Chapter 10 I Didn't Mean That

Hanna and Claudia were walking downstairs. The sun was shining in the breeze. The scenery is

delightful.

When someone passed by, Hanna held Claudia's arm tightly and carefully guarded her, for fear of her

being injured.

“You are now in a special phase, so be careful!” Hanna reminded her.

Claudia nodded with a smile.

After getting along with Hanna, she felt that she was a nice lady, generous, intelligent, and very Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

attractive.

They sat on the benches to enjoy the fine weather. Hanna was a little thirsty, so Claudia bought two

drinks from the vendor nearby.

Claudia had an appointment in the afternoon, so she went back to her room.

Soon, the alarms on the hallway rang abruptly, disrupting Claudia's thoughts.

She put down the book in her hand and heard the pager saying, “Code blue, cardiac arrest in Ward

503. Cardiac surgery...”

Ward 503, that was Hanna's ward?

Claudia got panic.

After a while, the door of her room was kicked open from the outside, and the noise shook Claudia.

With a scaring face, Ben strode to Claudia and violently pulled her up. Then he dragged her out.

He ignored her painful expression and gripped her wrist angrily and forcefully. His fury was like blazing

flames that were about to devour Claudia.

Claudia was dragged to the next ward, and Hanna had just been rescued. She was lying in bed weakly

with an extremely pale face.

Ben picked up a half-bottle of drink on the table and threw it to Claudia. Then he shouted, “Is this from

you? Why didn't you ask her before you have it to her? She’s allergic to dairy products!”

Claudia was stunned and tried to think straight.

Hanna lay in bed, struggling to speak with her weak voice, “Ben, don't blame her. I forgot to tell her.

She didn't mean to...”

Her voice was faint, and she looked at him anxiously.

Ben became even angrier, and he asked again, “Claudia, did you do that on purpose? Why don't you

ask first!”

Claudia frowned, and she didn't think that Hanna would be allergic to dairy products...

Claudia's face was pale, and she tried her best to ignore the pain on her wrist. She tried to look calm.

“You are so over the line!”

He withdrew his hand abruptly. Claudia fell on the ground, but she had held on to the wall so that she

didn’t fall that hard. The ache in her heart almost killed her.

Hanna frowned helplessly. She struggled to support herself, “Cut her some slack, Ben, I'm all right, and

it's all just a misunderstanding!”

The more she explained, the angrier Ben became. Conspiracy, that was what he hated the most!

Ben shouted at Claudia, “Get out!”

Claudia’s ear hurt because of the loud yelling.

Seeing Claudia leaving, Hanna hurriedly sat up.

She strode forward, pressed her shoulders to let her sit in bed, “Don't move, how do you feel?”

“I'm fine, it has nothing to do with Claudia. It's all my fault.” Hanna said with innocent eyes.

Ben looked at her. There was no expression on his face.

“I thought that after so many years, I might not get allergic anymore, it’s just...”

His dark brows furrowed deeply. Hanna’s lips were pale, and her face haggard. She looked extremely

fragile and weak, but she was still speaking for Claudia!

Hanna felt dizzy. She found everything around so blurred as if she were in a bathhouse, so she lay

down again. Before going to bed, she reminded him, “Go find Claudia later. I don't blame her!”

Ben pondered for a second and looked at her with soulful eyes.

When he arrived at the next door, Claudia was packing up and ready to leave the hospital.

His tall shadow appeared behind her, hugging her on the waist. He fondled her swollen belly. His anger

was gradually fading away.

Claudia looked down at his big slender hand and pushed it away without hesitation.

Ben paused out of surprise. Claudia passed around him and quickly packed things up.

He became sullen.

Before he came up with anything to say, Claudia grabbed her phone, typed something and showed it to

him.

“I did not do it on purpose.”

She tried her best to explain it to him.

The moment he saw it, he smiled.

He pinched her chin, looked at her delicate face carefully, and asked with his gravel voice, “Why should

I trust you?”

Couples were supposed to trust each other.

Claudia watched him, her long eyelashes trembling lightly. She frowned, not knowing how to answer.

She was not able to speak, and even if she could, she didn't know what to say.

So, after a while, he met her clear gaze and put it in another way, “Are you trustworthy?”

Claudia was stunned.

Ben glanced at her and raised his volume. “Becky…”

The housekeeper immediately opened the door and came in.

He said, “Mrs. Crawford needs to rest properly and will stay here for a while. Take care of her.”

Becky immediately responded respectfully and unpacked Claudia’s packages.

Before Ben turned around, he leaned over and whispered in her ear, making Claudia tremble!

He said, “To keep the baby safe, you are not allowed to leave here until the baby is born!”

Claudia was numb with heartache. Tears fell down her cheeks.

He wouldn’t trust her anyway...

Moreover, she was put under house arrest here!

The next day, news about Ben and Hanna was published in tabloids, saying that they rekindled the lost

love.

Ben was sneak-shot when he came to the hospital, and the photos were all over the headlines.

Claudia flipped through the tabloids and realized that Hanna and Ben used to be a highly anticipated

couple!

She fell in a complicated mood.

Becky took away the newspapers from her and said, “Ma’am, you need to take a good rest. Don't think

too much.”

Claudia smiled bitterly and thought, “He’s my husband. How could I not?”

“She wished to stop thinking, but how’s that possible?”

A cold voice of a woman came from outside. Amber dressed stylishly came in with a limited-edition

purse in her hand.

Blair followed her in.

Becky hurriedly said greeted the two and then excused herself.

There were only three of them in the ward. Blair instantly took out all her anger. “Claudia, I am your

foster mother for better or for worse. I’ve been supporting you for so many years, why are you so

ungrateful?”

“It's more than just being ungrateful. You are a beast!” Amber added.

But Claudia was in a daze, wondering what this was about this time.
