Seeing this, Claire carried Maurice in her arms and turned around to leave on the other side.
Selina greeted him, "Darling, why are you here? Are you okay?"
In fact, they were not reconciled for the "fight" last night.
But she didn't care about that. She couldn't let Jerome discover the existence of Maurice.
She knew him. If he knew that she was using his money to raise others' kids, he would definitely tear her apart!
At that time, she would not get a penny from him!
How could Maurice live without money?
Although it was just a glance, Jerome did see the child's appearance.
He didn't know if he was dazzled, but he did feel that the child was very much like the younger him.
"Is that Claire's child?" He knew that Claire was Selina's bestie. He also knew that she often came to this hospital to visit her.
Selina's eyes flickered as she nodded, pretending not to care.
She intended to hold Jerome's hand, but Jerome indifferently blocked her. Then, she heard his forceful questioning, "How come I didn't know Claire have such a son?"
She realized she could not lie. Jerome would investigate everything about Claire's family once he was suspicious. Not to mention the "son", even the fact that Claire had never been with a man could be revealed.
Selina swallowed and tilted her head innocently, "It's not her son. It's a patient in their department. I feel sorry for the child. He has congenital leukemia and has been waiting for a bone marrow match to save his life."
After a few seconds of silence, Jerome answered in a cold voice, "I think you’d better feel sorry for yourself!"
"What's wrong with me?" Selina deliberately changed the topic and shook Jerome's arm like a spoiled child. "You were the one who was jealous and ignored me. Why should I please you first?"
Jerome allowed her to put the hands around him, but still sneered mockingly, "Because you're my wife. You have to please me!"
"Alright, don't be angry. I will go back and please you, OK?" Selina glared at him coquettishly.
Jerome was not macho. The more he repeatedly emphasized and reminded her that she was his wife, the more he wanted to conceal the nervousness and unease for he was about to lose this woman.
She was as soft as a marshmallow in his arms, and he could smell the unique fragrance when he lowered his head.
Suddenly, he pulled out his arm and pulled her into his embrace. He said in a low voice, "Come with me!"
"Where are we going?"
"Grandpa is ill. He is in the OR."
"What?" Before Selina could react, Jerome had taken her outside the operating room.
Selina had seen almost everyone from the Harris family. Jerome's grandfather liked her most, and his mother hated her most.
But the last person she would like to see was Jerome's half-brother, Nigel.
Because Nigel's attitude towards her was strange. She felt uncomfortable with him, and even a simple conversation with him was awkward.
At this moment, there was no doubt that Nigel was here.
Seeing Jerome arrive late with her, Jerome's mother, Marietta Neville spoke first.
She scolded, "Why do you bring her here? Is she dressed like this to go straight to mourning?"
Selina was wearing an ordinary plain black dress with no jewelry. Even so, it was difficult to conceal her outstanding beauty.
Jerome had never indulged Marietta with her harsh words. Just as he was about to say something, a low voice interrupted.
"If wearing black is for mourning, then what are you doing for wearing red? Are you celebrating?"
Nigel stood up from the bench with his hands in his pockets. He calmly looked at the tightly closed door of the operating room and sneered.
Selina's heart skipped a beat. Was Nigel speaking for her?
