Chapter 261: Chapter 261: The Only Thing I Can Do for Her (Part 1)
Claire North thought for a moment and made a phone call: "Help me check Elias Hawthorne’s whereabouts."
...
Medical room.
Raina North injected a syringe of crimson blood into the little white rabbit’s body.
Soon, the originally lively and active little white rabbit vomited blood and collapsed on the operating table.
Raina North injected another syringe of brown liquid into the little white rabbit.
After waiting a while, the little white rabbit still didn’t move, and Raina North checked.
It was already lifeless.
The antidote she had just developed was ineffective.
Raina North’s expression did not change, as she changed her approach and continued to research tirelessly.
...
The Serene Leaf Teahouse.
The elegant room on the second floor by the window.
Claire North sat opposite Aaron Warren.
Claire North looked at Aaron Warren with worry in her eyes: "Chief Warren, why have you lost so much weight? Have things been bad for you lately?"
Aaron Warren avoided Claire North’s gaze: "No, I’m doing fine."
"Nonsense!" Claire North’s voice suddenly rose, with a sobbing tone: "Do you think I don’t know you’re lying to me? I know, I’m not stupid."
As she spoke, tears began to fall.
"Don’t cry... Claire, don’t cry. I’m really okay." Aaron Warren saw Claire North’s tears and became flustered.
"Sorry, I didn’t mean it." Claire North took a tissue and gently wiped her tears: "I’m just very sorry for dragging you into the grudge between me and my sister. If it weren’t for me, maybe you could have been close friends with my sister."
Aaron Warren frowned upon hearing this, his eyes full of rejection: "I wouldn’t be close friends with a woman like her."
As he spoke, he heard his father’s furious reprimands calling him stupid and his uncle’s increasingly disappointed look in his mind.
The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable Aaron Warren felt.
Once upon a time, he was not only the pride of his parents but also the pride of the family.
Claire North saw it clearly and understood in her heart, a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes.
Promised to be devoted to her, but what happened?
Regretted just after a small upheaval.
Claire North’s heart was filled with anger, but her face showed no trace of it: "If it weren’t for what happened again, I would definitely go to my sister, even kneeling to beg her, to make her reconcile with you. But now... I’m sorry, Chief Warren, I really can’t do it."
Initially, Aaron Warren had indeed had the intention of reconciling with Raina North when he asked Claire North to meet today.
Because after the last competition, Raina North made a big splash in front of many senior doctors, and her reputation in the pharmaceutical world soared.
In particular, the new medicine she developed, although still in the first phase of clinical trials, received very positive feedback.
The Warren Family has its roots in pharmaceuticals, and everyone clearly understands what such effective anti-cancer drugs represent.
Thus, the elders in his family ordered him to personally apologize to Raina North.
But, unexpectedly, before he could speak, he heard Claire North say all this, and he could no longer say anything.
Aaron Warren looked at Claire North’s tearful appearance and subconsciously asked: "What happened again?"
"Chief Warren, my sister, this time she really went too far..." Claire North began to speak, but tears fell again.
Then, amid tearful complaints, Aaron Warren’s anger surged, and he slammed his palm on the table: "Outrageous! Absolutely outrageous! How could Raina North do such a thing to such a young child? Does she even have a conscience? Is The Hawthorne Family just going to cover for Raina North like this?"
"Of course not, it’s just Elias..." Claire North said only half of the sentence: "In any case, you shouldn’t get involved in this matter, and you can’t handle it. As for me, it’s my fate." She closed her eyes, two lines of clear tears slid down: "Perhaps, it’s a debt I owe my sister from a past life that I have to repay in this one. But Baby... he’s only four years old... I... I really..."
