Chapter 217: Clarissa Is Pregnant with Xander’s Baby?
“Chicken leg?”
Claire lifted a hand to her forehead and said, “Is she so starving that she lost her mind?”
“Actually.”
Gerald let out a long sigh and remarked, “I’ve heard of Master Summers‘ means before, but I’ve never seen it with my own eyes. Now according to the situation today, it seems that Master Summers is really the most capable of torturing people in this world!”
How much hatred and resentment did he hold to have made two normal people sa
miserable?
Master Summers didn’t let them starve to death but provided them with a
little food when they couldn’t hold on. He did so just to keep their lives,
which was even worse than killing them directly!
Claire was not hard–hearted, but she didn’t sympathize with them.
If they hadn’t coveted the Summers family’s identity, stolen her hair, and sneaked to Ascalon to take her place, they wouldn’t have ended up in this situation today.
“Honey, what do you want to do with them?” asked Claire.
Sean’s gaze fell on their knees as he replied, “Send them to the hospital first, see if the baby can be saved, and then inform Evelyn. After all, the baby is the offspring of the Morgan family. Let them make
the decision.”

“Alright,” replied Claire, thinking that Sean had always done things
thoughtfully. Anyway, the unborn child was innocent and should have the right
to be saved.
Then, Gerald immediately arranged for people to send Clarissa and Alice to the Vanderbilt family’s private hospital.
Sean and Claire also followed them there.
On the way, Sean dialed Evelyn’s phone.
“Evelyn.”
Hearing Sean’s voice, Evelyn immediately put aside what she was doing and respectfully said, “Mr. Sean, it’s been late. What’s the matter?”
Sean said expressionlessly, “Clarissa has been pregnant with Xander’s child for five months, but she has been confined in the Summers family and tortured by Master Summers for a few months. Now she’s sent to the hospital and I’ll try to save the unborn child. Please bring Xander over here.”
“Unborn child?”
Shocked, Evelyn widened her eyes as she said, “Clarissa is pregnant with
Xander’s child? How could…”
She reacted as an afterthought. It’s not the time to discuss with Mr. Sean whether the baby was Xander’s or not. Sean had asked her to come over. Although it wasn’t in a commanding tone, it wasn’t something that could be
refused.
“Okay, I’ll check if there are any more flights to Ascalon tonight, Xander and I will come over as fast as we can,” stated Evelyn.

and I will come over as fast as we can,” stated Evelyn.
As Sean hung up the phone, Claire leaned her head gently against his shoulder.
In the world, only those who were mothers would sympathize with others‘
child.
Claire wished that the unborn child would be strong enough to survive.
Alice’s situation was not good as well. After carrying out a general physical check–up on her, the doctor said that many of her organs had shrunk a bit,
and severe malnutrition left her in a terrible state.
Meanwhile, Clarissa’s condition remained unknown. She had been in the
operating room for two hours.
“Mr. Sean!”
Evelyn’s voice came from the end of the hallway. Sean turned his head to see Evelyn and Xander running towards them.
Seeing Xander again, Claire felt that he was like a different person. He was
no longer the sunny boy he had used to be, and there was more composure or his face and a hint of shrewdness in his eyes.
As expected, after Clarissa’s blow, he finally became mature.
Standing beside Evelyn, Xander uttered respectfully to Sean, “Great–grandpa.” Then, he turned his head to Claire, seemingly hesitating for a moment before politely greeting her, “Ms. Donovan.”
Sean wrapped his arm around Claire’s shoulder and warned Xander in front of Evelyn, “You should call her Great–grandma now.”

In the past, Claire hadn’t really liked the title, feeling like it made her sound older, but now, she found it quite amusing.
Looking at Xander, Claire raised the corners of her lips.
A flash of embarrassment flashed across Xander’s face, and he stole a glance
at Evelyn, who, at this moment, took the initiative to change the way of addressing Claire, “Grandma.”
At this time, Xander was even more embarrassed. He gripped his hands gently before he toughed it out to face Claire and called, “Great…great–grandma.”
Claire smiled brightly and remarked, “Good boy.”
With that, she suddenly turned her head and playfully winked at Sean, saying,‘ Honey, since he has called me Great–grandma, should I give him New Year’s money in the New Year?”
Evelyn was speechless.
And so was Xander.
If it wasn’t for Sean’s presence, Xander could have retorted to her, “Don’t push your luck!”
Sean nodded his head seriously and replied, “That’s not necessary. We will get engaged in the New Year, and they are the ones who should give us money.”
At the mention of money, Claire’s eyes widened in surprise as she said, “Really? Will I get betrothal gifts for the engagement?”
Conn smiled and caueezed her shoulder ovnlaining “That’s not hatrathal

Sean smiled and squeezed her shoulder, explaining. “That’s not betrothal gifts, but the Vanderbilt family’s traditional custom.”
“Alright,” Claire said.
She shrugged and looked at Xander again, stating, “Just wait for the year after next then. You pay me a visit and I’ll give you the New Year money.”
Xander was rendered speechless.
If he had known that Claire would have the upper hand in front of him, he wouldn’t have treated her so poorly back then!
Apparently, Claire was purposely embarrassing him to avenge the fact that he had set her up in the past!
As they were chatting, the door of the operating room opened and the doctor walked out, removing the mask from his face with a depressing face.
Sean walked over and inquired, “How’s it going?”
The doctor shook his head and replied, “The mother has been in a starvation situation for a long time, causing her body to be severely malnourished, and there was no extra nutrition for the child. Even if it desperately sucked up the mother’s nutrients, it’s still…”
The doctor paused and sighed again, continuing, “It’s dead!”
“What?”
Claire and Sean were shocked at the same time. Claire’s heart even twitched for a moment for the unborn child.

Claire and Sean were shocked at the same time. Claire’s heart even twitched for a moment for the unborn child.
Evelyn furrowed her brows with no specific expression visible on her face.
As for Xander, at this moment, even if he tried to disguise it, he couldn’t hide the joy in his eyes, and he even let out a breath of relief.
It was only when Evelyn’s stern gaze fell on his face that he tried to suppress his pleasure.
But Sean and Claire had seen it.
Xander had lost his conscience long before, which could not be corrected
anymore.
He could even show a happy face when his own child died. How could such a person become good?
Claire didn’t even bother to look at him or say a word to him.
Sean’s expression also darkened as he stated, “Evelyn, these two people are related to your family’s sins. I’m handing them over to you, and I won’t care about whether they’re dead or alive.”
