Where Petals of Vengeance Bloom

Chapter 373

Claire's face was stricken with terror. "Did you drug me?" she demanded.

Scarlet's lips curled into a mocking smile. "I wasn't the one who gave you the anesthetic. You needed a kidney transplant from Vanessa, remember? The doctors put you under when they operated."

Everything had happened while Claire was unconscious, so she had no idea what had taken place.

Scarlet clicked her tongue in feigned pity. "Honestly, I don't get it. What does Mr. Foster even see in you? Aside from that pretty little face, you're absolutely worthless."

"Did you know he broke both his legs saving you? A pile of rubble came crashing down on him. Even so, he waited outside the operating room the entire day, fighting through the pain, just to make sure your surgery with Vanessa went smoothly."

"It wasn't until you were safely out of surgery and wheeled into recovery that they finally took him in for his own operation."

The words hit Claire like a punch to the chest. Pain and worry flooded her eyes as she blurted out, "How's Sean? Is he okay?"

Scarlet sneered. "How should I know? If he's stupid enough to die for someone like you, then good riddance." Her face twisted with manic disdain.
