CHAPTER 188: CHAPTER 188 ATTRACTING ATTENTION

Although this question made him appear a little nervous and even uneasy, he still hoped to get a truthful answer.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Clara Bennett swiftly retorted, trying to appear very relaxed.

"I was by your side all night until dawn, holding your hand even; how could I find the time to do such a thing? I simply don’t want you caught up in those pointless family disputes. After all, you can see the poor character of your uncle from how he treats his own nephew. Any retaliatory events he encounters are just karma, right? The most important thing for you right now is to take good care of yourself and recover quickly."

In fact, Clara didn’t want William Foster to worry about these trivial matters, especially when he was still physically weak. Similarly, she didn’t want him to think of her as someone ruthless and cruel.

Because she knew very well that excessive tolerance in certain situations often only leads to the other party becoming more aggressive.

This had been proven countless times through past personal experiences.

Therefore, Clara decided to resolutely and forcefully counterattack anyone daring to harm or insult William Foster.

Actually, all of this was indeed meticulously planned and executed by her.

If the Foster family’s elder brother wants to seek some form of revenge in the future, then naturally the target should be herself, and not other innocent people.

But considering the deterrent effect of the recent actions, it was estimated that the elder brother would restrain his behavior significantly in the short term, not daring to act recklessly again.

After all, having done something so disgraceful, he would not want others to find out.

This awkward feeling, like a thorn in his heart, constantly reminded him of the mistakes he had once made; thus, he kept quiet about it for fear that spreading the story would invite more criticism and ridicule.

William Foster looked at Clara Bennett and noticed a particular charm in her eyes.

Those bright eyes were like the brightest star in the night sky, radiating a warm and determined light even in the dark, making him want to delve deeper into the secrets hidden within this soul.

She wouldn’t understand that her fierceness is actually very attractive to him.

This indescribable feeling is like a kind of magic, gradually drawing two hearts closer, making the distance between them invisibly shrink.

Whenever he sees her, that subtle emotion naturally wells up, making William Foster unable to help himself.

A flower blooming on the edge of danger is always remarkably radiant and enchanting, isn’t it?

It is precisely because of this distinctiveness and the unique quality of not following the beaten path that makes this girl before him stand out as a one-of-a-kind existence in the crowd, shining brightly and capturing attention.

This kind of personality and charm can neither be imitated by lavish attire nor exquisite makeup; they stem from the most genuine voice deep within one’s heart.

Clara Bennett turned around and picked up a bowl of porridge, showing a gentle smile: "Didn’t you want to try the porridge I made? Give it a taste."

The words conveyed sincere intentions and care, making one feel warm as if in the breezes of spring.

This is not only a simple exchange over food but also a beautiful moment of emotional connection between the two.

Of course, when she’s being gentle, she is even more beautiful and captivating.

The gentle aura that emanates from her heart is more enticing than any form of adornment; it not only moves others but is also an affirmation and recognition of herself.

The perfect female image presented to William Foster at this moment has both a strong and decisive side as well as a gentle and tender personality.

William Foster scooped a mouthful of porridge with a spoon and immediately broke into a smile: "It’s delicious. This is the best porridge I’ve ever had in my life, a heavenly taste that’s so rare on earth."

The heartfelt praise is not merely for appeasement but sincerely expresses high appreciation for the intentions and efforts behind this.

In William Foster’s eyes, this ordinary yet love-infused food before him had already far surpassed its intrinsic value.

Clara Bennett couldn’t help but laugh: "If you like it, you can have it every day from now on."

What seems like an ordinary sentence implies a willingness to continue contributing for the other’s sake as well as the possible further development of their relationship.

This simple promise is especially precious for maintaining a good relationship, as it signifies sufficient trust and tolerance between the two.

Just as Clara Bennett wanted to tease William Foster a bit more, her phone rang.

The sudden ringtone interrupted the pleasant conversation atmosphere between the two and also suggested some unknown changes about to happen.

Nevertheless, due to the open nature of their interaction, a phone call coming through would not cause too many unnecessary misunderstandings.

The message was from Daisy Stone.

Daisy Stone: [Help!]

Since William Foster couldn’t see, Clara Bennett never hid the contents of her phone in front of him.

While feeding, her phone would be placed right beside him.

This action fully demonstrated the foundation of a non-concealing relationship between them and also indicated that when facing certain emergency situations, they could immediately switch modes to handle sudden events even amid close interactions.

Seeing the message, William Foster’s expression turned serious.

The sudden plea for help made the relaxed and joyful atmosphere heavy with tension, as if there was something unforeseen waiting for them to resolve.

At the same time, it also aroused a strong curiosity and protective instinct in William Foster’s heart since a request for help involving his friends or important people couldn’t be taken lightly in any manner.

Clara Bennett glanced at the message and handed the porridge to William Foster: "Hold this for a moment, let me reply to a work message."

The brief words conveyed a clear message transference intention while maintaining a certain level of politeness.

This action showed that Clara Bennett not only had strong professional integrity but also possessed good interpersonal communication skills, capable of making reasonable judgments in a short time and quickly implementing them to solve problems without affecting others’ emotional fluctuations.

Then she picked up her phone and typed out a message: [Can you take a call?]

Using text to ask instead of calling directly not only displayed a respectful attitude toward others’ privacy but also afforded her more space and time to handle the sudden event, thereby making the whole response process more comprehensive and complete.

Daisy Stone replied: [No, I’m in the bathroom now, and Samuel Grant is outside keeping watch. Today he had someone make me a bowl of herbal soup, and something felt off. He might want to harm my child! Samuel’s attitude makes me very uneasy, especially during such a sensitive period, his behavior is so unusual.]
