In the quiet hospital room, Claudia's heartbroken sobs echoed in everyone's ears.
York stood by the bed, watching Claudia cry in Jessica's arms, and had to look away.
Wendy, who had rushed over after her daughter's call, arrived just in time to see this.
After greeting Felix, Wendy pushed her son aside and came to the bed. "Claudia, tell me, how did you get hurt?"
Claudia managed to stop her tears. "Mom, I'm fine. I just slipped while I was shopping and got a few scrapes."
Wendy was relieved.
Claudia got off the bed, took Jessica's hand, and said to her parents, "Dad, Mom, I want to go home."
Even selling herself wouldn't raise a billion dollars for a divorce right now.
But this limbo was killing her.
Her life was a mess, and she couldn't focus on her work.
She had to escape her current situation.
Although Claudia's words were polite, everyone understood the underlying meaning.
It wasn't that she missed home.
She wanted to separate from York, preparing for an inevitable divorce.
Wendy tried to persuade her. "Claudia, if the house isn't comfortable for you right now, you could move to the Blue Bay residence. It's closer to the hospital where you work."
Claudia shook her head. She said to Wendy, "Thank you, Mom, but I want to go home and live with my parents."
York stared at Claudia, then walked over to her. He said, "It's fine if you want to stay with your parents for a few days. I'll come pick you up in a while."
Claudia didn't argue with him.
Right now, the most important thing was to move back to her parents' house and get some distance from York.
Jessica helped Claudia out of the room. York followed, but Felix stopped him.
