Chapter 1326: Daphne is Annoyed
In the car, Saskia Holt told Monica about Claire and Dr. Watson being a loving couple. Though they
hadn't been together for long, their relationship was very stable. They had experienced some ups and
downs, but it only served to strengthen their bond.
Monica listened quietly, feeling quite embarrassed. Was this the biggest misunderstanding of her life?
With her kind heart, she was filled with guilt towards Claire. Tristan had been right; she owed Claire an
apology.
Meanwhile, Daphne, who had failed to achieve her goal, stood by the riverbank, bathed in sunlight. She
held onto the railing, feeling the chilly early winter breeze. Her hair was a mess from the wind, but it
couldn't blow away the melancholy in her heart.
She looked coldly at the clear blue sky. The sun in winter wasn't warm enough, always wrapped in a
touch of coldness, much like a human heart. Seeing Claire and Rowan laughing together earlier had
deeply hurt her sleepless self. In a bad mood, she had almost attacked Claire!
In her diagonally slung bag was a shiny fruit knife, newly purchased and not meant for cutting fruit.
Who was the girl who had forcibly taken Claire away? She didn't seem friendly towards Claire either.
Did they have some conflict?
Daphne suddenly remembered a famous saying: "The enemy of my enemy is my friend!" She
desperately wanted to find and befriend that girl. But did that girl also like Rowan? The thought made
Daphne panic.
As she considered the possibility that someone else liked Rowan, jealousy stirred within her, making
her feel terrible. Just then, her phone rang. It was her mother. "Hello, Mom," she answered, trying to
compose herself.
"Daphne, I've been coughing up blood lately, and a doctor nearby said that bleeding should be taken
seriously. It could be a sign of a serious illness."
"How do you feel? Are you experiencing any other discomfort?" Daphne worried, her whole body
tensing up.
"I'm fine, really!" her mother hurriedly reassured her. "Don't worry too much. I just want to have a
check-up, since our family's situation is getting better. Your brother and you have grown up, and yournovelbin
father and I want to take care of our health so we can help with the grandchildren."
"I've always encouraged you both to get check-ups, but you were reluctant," Daphne said, relieved.
"Now you finally understand, right? It's better to prevent problems and have peace of mind, since our
bodies are our own."
"That's true, you make a good point," Mrs. Well agreed. "But your father said we shouldn't do it in our
small county. Our daughter is a doctor, and Rowan's hospital has advanced facilities. So, we're coming
to the city to find you, get a check-up, and bring some local specialties to thank Rowan for taking care
of you."
Daphne's face changed, and she grew nervous. "Mom, a basic check-up can be done at the county
hospital, and it's a two-hour drive to Arkpool City. It's not even worth the trip."
