133 Maria Returns

Claire's POV

“What? Chris is in the hospital?! What happened?!”

“Calm down, my dear.”

Louis gently pushed me back onto the couch, but his brows remained furrowed. He turned to the guard who brought the news and asked, “Could this be another one of Maria’s schemes? Is she trying to gain sympathy using Chris?”

“No.” The guard lowered his head and relayed the information he received from the doctor about Chris’s condition.

“Moreover, I inquired with the emergency team that responded that night. They all confirmed that Chris nearly suffocated to death.”

The words “nearly suffocated” left Louis in silence, and I couldn’t help but feel a surge of worry for the innocent boy. No matter what Maria had done, Chris was just a child. Besides, he was Liam’s only son.

Thinking this, I turned to the guard and asked, “Which hospital is Chris in now?”

“Saint Richard’s Hospital, but Chris is still unconscious. The doctors have recommended no visitors.”
