The Billionaire's True Heiress: From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 519

“Claire, you have no idea how much we need you on our team.”

Barry looked at Claire with hope practically shining in his eyes.

Claire gave him a reassuring nod. “Barry, I’ll do everything I can, I promise.”

“But… I just finished the most important exam of my life. Could I get a couple days off to recover?”

Barry almost said no, because research was all about keeping up the momentum. But then he remembered how tough exams are. Some students even end up with a fever for days, just from the stress and exhaustion.

“Alright, take two days. And listen, if you start feeling sick or anything, please don’t push yourself.”

At least Claire felt fine for now. She was a doctor herself, so she’d know right away if something was wrong. Plus, with Pandora always making her exercise since she was a kid, she was in pretty good shape.

Claire was the last one to arrive at Daniel’s hospital room.

By then, the three inside had pretty much finished catching up. Jennifer was slicing fruit for the two older women. When she saw Claire, she handed her a banana.

Claire took it, peeled it, and ate as she walked over.

“Daniel’s been looking a lot better these days,” she said after finishing her banana and taking his pulse.

“Seems like you’re recovering pretty well. Not hurting as much at night now, right?”

Daniel was a bit thinner than the last time she’d seen him, but he definitely had more energy. That had to mean the treatment was working.

“Yeah, it doesn’t hurt nearly as much. Honestly, my mood’s been better too. I’ve actually been craving a big plate of bacon lately...” Daniel glanced down at his hands and joked, “Feels like I’m wasting away over here.”

Jennifer, even though she felt for her dad, made sure he followed the doctors’ orders to the letter. There was absolutely no way she’d let him eat something he wasn’t supposed to have.
