Chapter 897 Frightened
The doctor pushed the door open and entered. "Don't worry, Ms. Saunders. You are not severely
injured. Rest home for a few days. You'll recover."
"OK. Thank you, Doc."
Mya was still wearing the wedding dress. Her coiled-up hair was messy, but she still looked charming,
adding a pleasant view to the ward.
The doctor nodded at them and left.
The door wasn't locked, so Clarence walked in directly. Seeing his daughter in a wedding dress, he
was in a trance, becoming excited.
"Dad?" Mya gaped at him. "Here you came..." She turned to check on Finnley.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Saunders." Finnley hurriedly stood up.
Clarence couldn't calm down at all. As a father, he had countlessly imagined his daughter's wedding.
He watched Mya in a wedding gown, tears welling up in his eyes.
He had to admit time had flown, and his daughter had grown up.
"Dad, I only had some scratches. My hair was dragged. Nothing severe," Mya said in a relaxed tone, "I
don't need to stay here. We can leave now."
"That's good. That's good..." Clarence finally felt relieved.
"You are too busy. Didn't I tell you not to come here?" Mya felt touched.
"I'm worried about you, silly girl."
Suddenly, Clarence's phone rang. He received a call from his office. "OK. OK. I'll be right there."
After hanging up, he said to Finnley, "I'll leave Mya to you, Finnley. Thank you for taking care of her."
"Of course, Mrs. Saunders. Please go ahead."
Clarence nodded at them and walked out of the ward.
After a few steps, he saw the elevator doors slide open. Ivan and Jennifer appeared. Clarence felt a
sense of guilt, his heart tightening.
He had learned Ivan was checking him, so he felt frightened.
However, as a city mayor, Clarence had experienced ups and downs and had excellent acting skills.
Wearing a smile, he strode towards the Marsh couple. "Good afternoon, Mr. Marsh, Ms. Brooks. Are
you here to see Mya?"
Ivan looked into his eyes and stopped before him. "How's Mya doing? Was she injured severely?"
"Good afternoon, Mayor Saunders," Jennifer greeted him like usual.
Clarence nodded at them in response. "No, she's not severely injured. She has just finished the
checkup. No need to check in."
"She saved Alfie and Diana," Jennifer said gratefully, "Thanks to Mya. Or our children would have been
kidnapped."
"Thank you for making time to see her. I just left her ward. The doctor gave an X-ray on her belly and
told her she only needed some rest."
Jennifer also felt relieved.
Ivan gazed at Clarence intensely as if he had seen through Clarence.
Under his gaze, Clarence felt pretty uneasy but kept an awkward smile. "Mr. Marsh, Ms. Brooks, how
are your children? Were they frightened?"
"They are all right," Ivan answered in a low voice, "My children are not timid. They have experienced anovelbin
lot of things."
"Of course. Of course." Clarence kept a smile but couldn't find other words to continue the
conversation.
Jennifer understood Ivan's implication, also feeling awkward.
Her gaze swept between Ivan and Clarence, only to find the latter looking unnatural with cold sweat on
his forehead.
Ivan withdrew his gaze and said calmly, "Mayor Saunders, we know you are busy, so we won't hold you
up too long. Please excuse us."
"OK. OK," Clarence talked incoherently while wearing a big smile, "I'm going to my office for something
urgent."
"Ehn." Ivan nodded at him.
Only then did Clarence stride away, his heart hammering. He couldn't help wondering how much Ivan
had known about his deeds.
Clarence couldn't figure it out.
