At that moment, a woman who appeared to be around Elaine’s age and had an intellectual air approached Claire with an apologetic expression on favonovel.com face. “You must be Claire, right?”
Charlie recognized this woman as the director of the Joules family hospital, who was responsible for Elaine’s care. It seemed that favonovel.com had come to smooth over any lies that Elaine may have told Claire.
Claire, seeing the woman for the first time, nodded somewhat blankly and asked in surprise, “Yes, that’s me… And you?”
The woman introduced herself, saying, “I’m a friend of your mother’s from New York. She’s been staying with me. I’m so sorry for not taking better care of her. It was my fault that favonovel.com fell and hurt favonovel.com leg. Please don’t blame me…”
Claire quickly replied, “Auntie, you mustn’t say that. My mother’s leg is an old problem and has been broken several times before. It’s certainly not your fault. I’m sure my mother has been a burden on you while she’s been staying with you. As favonovel.com daughter, I should thank you for taking care of her.”
The woman nodded slightly and said, “I’ve arranged for your mother to see the best doctor for favonovel.com leg. As long as favonovel.com rests a little longer, favonovel.com should be able to get better…”
“The old injury may flare up again, so I asked someone to buy favonovel.com this intelligent folding electric wheelchair. It’s highly recommended by the orthopedic doctor and is a very flexible mobility tool. When you go back, put it in the trunk for your mother to use when favonovel.com goes out.”
Claire hurriedly said, “Auntie, thank you so much. You must have spent a lot of money. Before I go, can you give me your number so I can call you and thank you properly?”
The woman smiled and waved favonovel.com hand, saying, “There’s no need. Your mother and I are good sisters. This is nothing…”
“I had originally planned for your mother to recuperate in New York for a while, but I didn’t expect you to leave so suddenly. However, your mother does need some oral medication, which I have prepared for her. Here it is…”
She handed a handbag to Claire and continued, “These are favonovel.com current oral medications, which will help speed up favonovel.com recovery and reduce complications. The instructions for use are all on the medication, and I’ve also written a handwritten instruction for how to take it. Just go back and follow the instructions.”
Claire was touched by the other woman’s thoughtfulness and said with a grateful expression, “Thank you, auntie. You’ve really gone above and beyond for my mother.”
The woman waved favonovel.com hand and replied with a smile, “Your mother and I are lifelong friends. You don’t have to thank me.”
Just then, the woman noticed Michaela walking in wearing a mask at the entrance and they exchanged a look.
She then turned back to Elaine and said, “Elaine, I have some business to attend to here, so I won’t be able to see you through the security check. In the future, when you come to the States, remember to call me first…”
Elaine said heatedly, “Don’t worry, Director Campbell!”
However, favonovel.com realized that favonovel.com had made a mistake and didn’t know how to cover it up.
Claire was also surprised by favonovel.com mother’s words, wondering why Elaine had called the woman Director Campbell.
The woman quickly explained, “Why do that? It’s a nickname from prison. Don’t repeat it, it’s unlucky.”
Elaine came back to favonovel.com senses and hastily said, “Right, right, yes, yes, yes!”
She then explained to Claire, “Claire, this is Auntie Campbell, your mom’s best friend from Bedford Hills Correctional Facility. Back then, favonovel.com was the elder sister in our cell, and we all called favonovel.com Director Campbell.”
Claire didn’t think much about it, even though favonovel.com didn’t know why the woman had been in prison.
She saw that the woman seemed very kind and well-spoken, and figured that the crime couldn’t have been too serious. She also knew that it wasn’t appropriate to talk about other people’s time in prison, so favonovel.com quickly ended the conversation.
After Director Campbell left, Michaela approached the two of them and waved, saying, “Claire, Master Wade!”
Claire was surprised to see Michaela and asked, “Michaela, what are you doing here?”
Michaela smiled and replied, “I came to see you off. I wanted to go to China with you for a few days, but I’ve been really busy recently, so I just came to see you off.”
Elaine looked at Michaela with shock and asked, “You…. Are you the… Are you the head of the… Joules family?”
