After her rebirth by Cici

Chapter 210

For Elodie, if there was a way to save Simon, she would try anything.

She also thought that Clara was so weak that she wouldn't be able to speak up when the time came. With her help, Desmond shouldn't refuse.

Without further ado, the two of them took a car to the hospital.

Clara dawdled as she got out of the car, clutching her stomach and saying, "Mom, my stomach hurts a bit. I need to go to the restroom first. I'll be right back."

Since leaving the Manners Manor, Elodie had been by her side the whole time, leaving Clara no chance to call Desmond. So she used this excuse.

Elodie didn't think much of it and went straight to Desmond's room.

When Elodie arrived, Desmond had just finished talking to Clara and had a good idea of what was going on.

He greeted Elodie warmly and then feigned ignorance, "Mom, what brings you here?" Elodie's face was grim as she forced a smile, "I came to see you."

Desmond sneered inwardly.

Like mother, like son.

Last time, Simon also said he came to see him but brought nothing, and Elodie was the

same.

Although he was the younger one, if they were truly visiting a patient, they should have brought something.

However, Desmond didn't expose her and just made small talk, "I'm doing okay. I should be able to leave the hospital in a while."

Elodie had something on her mind and didn't really pay attention to what she was saying to Desmond.

She was just puzzled as to why Clara hadn't come yet.

After thinking for a moment, Elodie decided to speak up herself, "Desmond, I have a favor to ask of you."
