I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin)

Chapter 380 It Was Deception

As they chatted, they reached the blood draw room.

Harper knocked and pushed Eleanor in, where other people were already present, separated by curtains. Eleanor was assisted by a nurse and laid on the examination bed to have her blood drawn. Suddenly, a nurse asked, "Why didn't your daughter come with you?"

"She was busy preparing for a concert and couldn't make it," somebody replied.

Harper recognized it immediately as Wanda's voice.

Harper frowned slightly, so Lauren didn't come to the hospital to accompany Wanda.

Harper didn't dwell on it, merely overhearing the conversation as she passed by.

After accompanying Eleanor for her blood draw, Harper pushed her wheelchair ahead while Sean helped Wanda walk behind. Harper, wearing a mask at Eleanor's request, went unrecognized. Just as Harper considered speeding up to keep a distance, Sean's disgruntled voice came from behind. He said, "Lauren hasn't been here for days. Has she stopped caring?"

"Keep your voice down. What if someone hears us? Lauren may not be related to us by blood, but she's already done so much. If we keep demanding more, what if she decides to cut us off?" Wanda cautiously laid out the situation to Sean, who seemed to see the logic in it and thus remained silent.

However, their conversation left Harper in shock.
