See You Never, Mr. Lamont by Coral

Chapter 55 Be Sensible
“Oh…” Claudia chuckled, her eyes curved with a smile. “How long should I entertain her to make her happy? If she’s not happy, do I have to constantly appease her, and it would be even better if I let her scold and hit me? Should I be willing to do anything for her without any regrets?”
Derrick’s pupils contracted, and after a moment of hesitation, he slowly averted his gaze. “I know you don’t like her, but you are also a part of the Friedan family. Given her current condition, it’s impossible for her to accept an amputation surgery. Can’t you just coax her into accepting the surgery?”
“Why should I?” Claudia raised her lips, a smile that didn’t reach her eyes. “What does it matter to me whether she undergoes surgery or not? If she chooses not to, it’s her own problem. Why should I sacrifice my time to appease someone I dislike?”
“Putting aside this matter, do you think that I can just coax her and she will willingly listen to me?” Claudia looked at him, finding it
extremely amusing.
“How do you know it won’t work if you don’t try? Claudia, as a member of the Friedan family, you can’t…”
“Stop!” She quickly waved her hand and took a few steps back. “You keep saying that I am a member of the Friedan family, but even if I am, have I enjoyed any privileges from the Friedan family?”
As Derrick’s face grew increasingly unpleasant, Claudia felt more and more sorry for him.
“I didn’t enjoy any rights, but had to fulfill obligations in advance. I
don’t care if this person is related to me or not, at least in the past, no one forced me to appease such a lu natic,” she sneered, rolling her eyes
in her heart.
“What happened?”
Ervin heard a sound and walked over.
As Ervin watched Claudia and Derrick, both of them looking unhappy, a slight look of surprise appeared in Ervin’s beautiful eyes.
Claudia glanced at Derrick and coldly said, “I have something to do, so I’ll leave first.”
She turned around without any nostalgia, walked away quickly, and Ervin couldn’t stop her even if he wanted to call her back.
Ervin frowned and looked at his younger brother, “What did you do?”

Claudia’s cold and distant attitude was somewhat unusual.
“I just asked her to persuade Elva, but she was very disgusted and even said she would rather not recognize us,” Derrick also felt a little angry. We are all family, is it necessary to draw such clear boundaries?”
“I think she has a bias against me. If Waldron asked her for help, she would definitely assist.”
Upon hearing his brother’s words, Ervin’s gaze grew cold. “Do your really think Waldron would ask her for such a favor?”
Derrick did not speak.
“Derrick, she has suffered for over twenty years outside. Dad and I hope that when she comes home, she can feel warmth. Her good relationship with Waldron is because Waldron has always treated her like a sister from the beginning. And what about you?” Ervin sighed,

“We have no right to ask her to immediately consider us as family. Not only that, our whole family needs to humble ourselves in front of her. You have even less right to demand anything from her. Don’t blame me for not reminding you, if one day she accepts everyone but you, I won’t be surprised.”
Derrick looked at Elva lying on the bed, feeling hopeless, and lowered his eyes in disappointment.
I don’t know if he listened or not, Ervin patted his shoulder and said, “Next time, clear your mind before speaking.”
Ervin glanced in the direction Claudia had left.
I should have discussed with the old man earlier to pick a day to announce Claudia’s identity.
After Claudia left, she went directly to Waldron’s hospital room.
Standing in the corridor, she thought about the last time Derrick coldly told her that she was not family and did not have the right to visit.
What about now?
She finally qualified.
Originally, Waldron was indeed her brother.
Waldron was probably the only source of warmth for the Friedan family.
She walked calmly to the outside of Waldron’s ward, but before she entered, an apple rolled to her feet, and she could hear arguing coming from inside the room.
“I saw that you were hit by a car, and your head was caught by the car, right?”

“Rachel, for Go d’s sake, I was a patient now, don’t you have any humanity!”
Claudia picked up the apple, glanced inside the house, and saw a uniformed girl angrily throwing the apple toward Waldron. Waldron dodged one after another, and when the last apple was thrown, the girl clapped her hands, finally relieved.
“Alright, with your quick movements, there shouldn’t be any problem.” Rachel Mason crossed her arms and casually reclined on the nearby chair, her eyes catching a glimpse of Claudia.
Rachel’s embarrassed expression froze on her face, and she immediately sat up straight.
“Have you finally decided to come see me?” Waldron immediately put on a mournful face upon seeing Claudia. “This hospital is really not fit for humans.”
“That’s only if I can find a good place to stay,” Rachel sneered, glancing at him disdainfully. She then turned her head and stood up, cheerfully greeting Claudia, “You must be Claudia, the jewelry designer at Asteroid Studio of the Lamont Group.”
Claudia didn’t expect anyone to remember her position. Now, whenever people see her, they automatically think of Edmond’s ex- wife. She didn’t expect anyone to care about what she does.
“I used to love the jewelry designs of the Lamont Group. Half of my accessories were from Asteroid Studio, and you happen to be the main designer at Asteroid Studio. I even did some research on you,” Rachel said, raising her wrist.
