The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 104

I knew I shouldn’t have listened to Jennifer. Why did I let her talk me into this?

“What happened? Jennifer took her home,” I replied, trying to sound calm.

“Dr. Lawler, is my dad doing okay?” My voice trembled a little, and I couldn’t hide my worry.

Lawler looked serious, not meeting my eyes. “His condition is stable for now. We need to admit him and keep him under observation.”

“Thank you, Doctor.” I let out a shaky breath, finally able to relax a bit. At least things hadn’t gotten worse.

“But there’s something else,” Lawler continued. “I need to talk to the person who did the acupuncture. Is there a way I can reach her?”

He clearly didn’t want to admit that Claire had actually helped, but he couldn’t just ignore what happened.

“Um…” I hesitated, thinking fast. “Let me call Jennifer and ask.”

I dialed Jennifer’s number and she picked up almost instantly.

“Chrystal?” She sounded cold. If it weren’t for Dad, I doubt she’d even be talking to me right now. I knew I’d messed up earlier.

“Is something wrong with Dad?” she asked, her voice tight.

I swallowed my pride. “Jennifer, is Claire with you? Dr. Lawler said Dad’s stable, but he wants to talk to Claire about some details.”

Jennifer didn’t answer right away. I could hear her repeating what I said to Claire in the background.

“Claire, do you want to take the call?” Jennifer finally asked.
