Chapter 781
Karla stated that since her client had regained consciousness and still required ongoing medical treatment, she hoped they wouldn’t be disturbed. She politely asked the media to back off and stop trying to breach the hospital’s security line.
The statement was posted on Karla’s social media, but it had Sienna Darwin’s full approval.
Naturally, the fans were the most thrilled to hear that the superstar had woken up. The unhappiest people, without a doubt, were Sienna’s parents and her brother. When they heard the news, they flat-out refused to believe it.
“Zoe really is lucky. Didn’t she end up in that ICU place? How is she awake?”
Beatrice Darwin scowled, her face twisted in displeasure.
They had initially planned to hire a lawyer, sue Karla, and force the manager to hand over all of Zoe’s money for them to ‘safeguard.’
Who knew Zoe would wake up at the most crucial moment?
The old man also thought it was terrible luck. The whole family had already
meticulously planned out how to spend their daughter’s inheritance, and now she wasn’t dying?
How utterly disappointing.
Hunter Darwin had tasted the sweetness of streaming clout the past two days, so he wasn’t happy about the news either.
If his sister had died, he could have exploited her lingering popularity to build his own massive fanbase.
He was already dreaming of living in a mansion and driving luxury cars. Why did she have to survive?
“Mom, Dad, since she’s awake, shouldn’t we go to the hospital to see her?”
Hunter wanted to go straight to the hospital so he could put on a dramatic, loving show for his sister the second she opened her eyes.
“Why should we go see her? She’s awake now, going there is a waste of time.”
Did he really expect them to go to the hospital and actually take care of their daughter?
Beatrice hadn’t even entertained the thought; she was the one who wanted to be waited on hand and foot.
“If we don’t go, she’ll be mad. We need to go over there right now to explain things. We can’t let that Karla woman twist the story and turn her against us.”
Hunter thought he was an absolute genius for realizing this.
The old man and Beatrice thought it over and agreed that their son made a fantastic point.
They couldn’t stop praising his brilliance.
“Exactly, we can’t let that manager reap all the benefits.”
The two immediately began figuring out a way to get to the hospital.
They were strangers in Apex, but they at least knew how to hail a cab.
They spent a small fortune on the cab fare just to get there.
Claire ran into the Darwins right at the hospital entrance. They had just gotten out of the taxi and were running around like headlesso chickens.
Since they had previously been escorted through the underground garage, they had no idea how to navigate the main entrance.
“Look, son, isn’t that the little girl who lives with Karla?”
Beatrice had spotted Claire.
Hunter took a look and confirmed it
was
stupeed Claire. She was so
that one glance was
impossible to forget.
Too bad she was completely blind and couldn’t see what a catch a handsome guy
like him was.
Claire?
To her, Hunter didn’t even qualify as a man; he was just a bloodsucking leech.
“Hey, hey, wait up!”
Beatrice was already charging toward Claire.
“You there, girl in the front, stop!”
Claire heard Beatrice’s voice perfectly well. Her hearing was incredibly sharp.
But she had absolutely no intention of stopping, nor did she want to wait for Beatrice to catch up.
So she kept walking, pretending she hadn’t heard a thing.
But Beatrice wasn’t one to give up easily.
She lunged forward and physically grabbed Claire’s arm.
“Girl, I’m calling you! Are you deaf?”
Claire feigned surprise. “Were you calling me? And you are?”
Beatrice scowled, clearly annoyed that Claire hadn’t immediately recognized her.
The damn girl was pretty, but totally clueless.
“I’m Zoe’s—Sienna Darwin’s mother.” Beatrice still struggled to use her daughter’s new name.
She didn’t see anything wrong with calling her Zoe; why did she have to change it?
