Become the Wife of A CEO

The next morning, Helena finally woke up.

“Mom, you’re awake.” Seeing Helena wake up, Clara was both happy and worried. “How do you feel? Does the wound still hurt?”

“I’m fine. I made you worry.” Helena, who had just woken up, was still a little weak, and she spoke by breath.

Looking at the nervous Clara, Helena patted her hand with some difficulty. She felt a little guilty. She had no way to help her daughter. All these years, she had always been a burden to her and made her worry. She even lost her own happiness in marriage.

In fact, in the past few days, how could Helena not see it? Clara kept talking about Horace. Every time she mentioned Horace, Clara just said a few perfunctory words and then quickly changed the topic. It was obvious that she had a conflict with Horace.

Thinking of the reason why Clara and Horace got married, Helena only felt that she owed this child too much.

In the next few days, Clara had been taking care of Helena in the hospital.

Clara found that since the operation, Helena seemed to be in a trance every once in a while, as if she had something on her mind. But every time she asked, Helena only said that she was fine, which made Clara more worried about her.

On this day, when Logan came to visit Helena, he found that she would throw a glance at him from time to time. Her eyes were full of struggle and sadness, as if she wanted to say something but stopped on second thought.

Logan was a little confused. “Aunt Helena, do you have something to say to me?” he asked tentatively.

Hearing Logan’s question, Helena fell silent. After a long silence, she glanced at Clara, not knowing whether she should ask or not.

Clara was a little confused by her gaze. What was wrong? Was her mom going to say something to Logan? Would she say it in front of her?

“Laura… is her death anniversary coming soon?” Helena struggled for a long time, but in the end, she hesitated to say it out loud.

Hearing Helena’s question, Logan lowered his eyes. “Yes, it’s the day after tomorrow.”

There was a trace of sadness on his face.

“I want to see Laura. Is it okay?” Helena asked cautiously, with a hint of pleading in her tone.

At this moment, Clara was taken aback. Why did her mom remember the date of Laura’s death? But then it occurred to her that her mom used to work in the Hutchinson family, maybe she had taken care of Laura too.

Hearing that Helena wanted to pay her respects to Laura, Logan was touched. “Of course, Aunt Helena. If Laura knew that you were going to see her, she would definitely be very happy.”

It seemed that in this world, other than him, there were people who were still thinking about Laura.

Then he remembered that Helena had just had an operation. Logan was a little worried and asked, “Aunt Helena, you just finished the operation. Are you sure you can move? Don’t push yourself too hard.”

“Fine, I’m fine with it,” Helena said anxiously as if she was afraid that Logan would go back on his word.

“Cough cough… cough cough…”

She spoke in such a hurry that she choked. Helena began to cough violently. Clara hurried forward to help her pat on her back.

Seeing her coughing so hard, Clara couldn’t help but worry. “Mom, you haven’t recovered yet, so don’t go. What if…”

But before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Helena. “I’m really fine!” she seemed quite excited and coughed even harder.

Seeing this, Clara didn’t dare to say anything more. She was afraid that she would be more excited and that it would be bad if she pulled open the wound.

Seeing that Helena had not fully recovered after the operation and was in a hurry to visit Laura’s grave, Clara felt very upset. It seemed that the reason why her mother had been out of her mind these days was Laura.

When she was kidnapped and hospitalized by Ashlee Middleton, Helena had never visited her. Although she did not want to let her run around at that time because she was afraid that she would be in poor health, she felt a little upset when she saw how anxious Helena was for Laura.

Even Helena, who had only taken care of Laura for a short while, grew to like Laura so much, Clara could imagine how outstanding Laura was.

Thinking of this, Clara recalled the scene in the video she saw that day. Laura smiled and closed her eyes to make a wish.

That’s right. Who wouldn’t like such a beautiful angel? What’s more, it was Horace, who grew up with Laura. How could he forget her…

Seeing that Helena insisted on going, although Clara was not very comfortable in her heart, she could only allow her in the end. “Okay, but I want to go with you. If you go alone, I won’t be at ease.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll arrange for a doctor to come with us.” Logan didn’t expect Helena to have such deep feelings for Laura.

Hearing that both of them had agreed, a smile appeared on Helena’s face. Clara quickly helped her lie down and rest.

Two days later, Clara accompanied Helena to visit Laura’s grave. Logan drove to the hospital early in the morning and took them to the cemetery where Laura was.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

The cemetery was very quiet. There were rows of lush white trees on both sides of the road. From time to time, the crisp cries of birds could be heard, but it did not make people relaxed. On the contrary, they felt more depressed.

Laura’s grave was further inside the graveyard. They got out of the car and walked for a while before arriving at the destination.

Clara gently placed the white roses that she had bought on the tombstone. On the photo, Laura was smiling like a flower, which caused a stirring of emotions in Clara’s chest.

She took two steps back and looked back. Helena had already burst into tears.

Clara walked over and took out a handkerchief to wipe Helena’s tears. Soon, her handkerchief was all soaked.

Looking at Helena, who was crying so hard that she couldn’t control herself, Clara didn’t know how to comfort her, so she could only stand beside her.

While Clara was staring at Laura’s photo in a daze, a group of reporters suddenly rushed over from all directions and quickly surrounded her. One by one, the microphones were aimed at her like guns and cannons.

“Mrs. Kirkland, may I ask why you are here to visit Laura’s grave? Does Mr. Kirkland know you are here?”

“Excuse me, did the video that went viral on the Internet affect your relationship?”

“Mrs. Kirkland, may I ask how you think of Laura Hutchinson…”

“Mrs. Kirkland, what kind of mentality do you have to come here? Horace and Laura used to love each other so much. Aren’t you jealous?”

“Excuse me…”
