CHAPTER 342

Chapter 342 Old Money Leah came to visit Clarissa the next day. She apologized to her repeatedly,

saying she shouldn’t have gone home.

Clarissa reassured Leah with a sinile. “You can’t predict the future. How could you have known that

would happen? I can’t predict the future either.”

“This was my songbook from back in the day. I took it and put it in the car yesterday.” Leah said. Leah

came to visit yesterday, but Clarissa was too weak to stay awake. She had been sleeping, so she didn’t

see Leah.

Leah hadn’t planned to give the book to Clarissa before. After all, Clarissa just had a baby. She thought

Clarissa wouldn’t be in the mood to see the book

Leah bought some supplements for Clarissa as a gift. She also made some homemade nutritious

chicken soup for her. However, Damien told her about Clarissa’s condition. She was probably in a bad

mood because of her stillborn baby girl. Therefore, he urged Leah to bring the songbook over to Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

distract Clarissa.

It was common to gossip. Besides, it wouldn’t hurt to read about others’ stories.

“Is this Iris Benson?” Clarissa looked at the yellowed stickers on Leah’s songbook. The book was old,

but it still presented Iris’s beauty in the past

Damien was relieved seeing Clarissa not caught up in her grief and distracted by the gossip. “She was

a legendary beauty from the old days. One of the prettiest.” Leah spoke about Iris’s glorious years as if

they were treasure “She’s a Capricon. Her father worked overseas. Later, her whole family moved

abroad. Their family had been famous and prestigious for generations. She was old money. Well, she

had a good temperament because she came from such a famous family.”

Clarissa only smiled as she listened. She didn’t think Leah would know about old money. Leah would

probably be a top fan of Iris if she had been a popular celebrity in the current generation

“Back then, Iris had a partner named Charles Griffin. They were a good pair.” Leah’s eyes lit up as she

spoke about her idol. Clarissa carefully observed the beauty of the past. “She has a little mole behind

her ear,” Clarissa said as she pointed to a picture of Iris’s side profile

“Oh, yes,” Leah responded.

Clarissa got tired after browsing the songbook for a while, so Leah left. The labor liad weakened her

terribly, and the doctor came to check on her every day. Fortunately, she was still young, so she was

slowly recovering. Damien only made three trips to the company in the past few days. He went and

came back in a hurry. Everyone in the company got the message. They knew Clarissa had given birth

to his son. However, he appeared at the office with no smile on his face.

Ray asked him about the babies, and Damien told him the truth.

“Have you told Clarissa yet?” Ray asked, frowning slightly. “Not yet.” “Why didn’t you tell her?”

“She’s still recovering. I don’t want to make it worse for her. Besides…” Damien flicked the cigarette

ash and said, “She likes the baby girl a lot.”

“Won’t she be furious later? Aren’t you scared? What if she can’t accept the truth when you tell her

late? A baby is always the most important to a mother. She might get angry at you later.”

“I’ll see what to do later.”

Clarissa had told Damien about her future plans many times. She looked forward to dressing up the

little girl, doing her hair in pigtails, making her wear flowery dresses, and going shopping together. One

day, her baby girl would grow up and bring a boyfriend back

Damien tried to tell her the truth several times, but he couldn’t get the words past his lips

On that one day, Bethany came to see Clarissa. Clarissa expected to see Bethany to be happy, but

Bethany was the opposite Bethany’s reaction gave Clarissa a sense of foreboding. Panicked, she kept

demanding to see her babies. They had been in the incubator for nine days, and she was supposed to

see them tomorrow

“Clarissa! Calm down!” Damien shouted.

“I’m calm now. Tell me what’s wrong with the baby?” Clarissa shot Damien a sorrowful look

Bethany was a doctor, and she knew she shouldn’t lie to the patient. She helped Clarissa to sit on the

bed.

“Clarissa, listen to me when you were depressed before, the baby girl had a slow development in your

womb. She was slow and tired in the womb, so her brother took away all her nutrition It formed a

vicious circle. The baby boy came out first. They were both premature births. While the baby girl was in

the womb. She suffocated.”

Bethany tried to phrase it the best she could as she explained to Clarissa. “She was stillborn.”

Clarissa was stunned and stared at Bethany blankly. She rubbed her stomach and asked numbly, “But I

have a cut Wasn’t it from a C-section?”

Clarissa wasn’t saying that to convince Bethany. Rather, it was for herselt

Bethany glanced at Damien by the window Then, she explained to Clarissa, “You were unwell, so

President Lawrence didn’t tell you.” Clarissa didn’t say a word Her mind went blank, and tears

streamed down her face
