Chapter: 498
Silas provided the spray, omitting the medicine.
This marked Claudia's inaugural experience with the attentiveness of a family doctor. She reluctantly conceded that Aurora's statements were accurate!
The advantages of having money became apparent.
The news of Bennett returning from his business trip just to shower Claudia with flowers and gifts quickly circulated within their social circle.
Some felt envious, while others exhibited resentment.
Naturally, this information reached Anthony. Upon viewing screenshots of Claudia's Facebook posts shared by Peyton, Anthony, who had been previously hesitant about his engagement to Kristy, promptly communicated with Kristy and consented to the engagement.
The Nixon and Murray families promptly arranged a meeting, and the engagement between Anthony and Kristy was also disseminated.
Aurora relayed this to Claudia, stating, “Trust me. That scheming Kristy will surely invite you to the engagement bash!"
Claudia brushed it off, saying, "Do I really need to accept her invitation?" Who did she think she was?
Aurora commented, "You're right, but if you decline, people will start gossiping once mort
Claudia responded, "We can discuss that Later!"
If Kristy had the audacity to invite her, she would definitely show up. A few days afterward, Mathews' concert was scheduled.
Claudia grew apprehensive. Although her leg was once again injured, her hands remained unaffected. She confined herself to the piano room, devoting these days to piano practice.
Two days ahead of the concert, Bennett returned from his business trip.
His first action upon returning was to inspect Claudia's knee. Sitting on the sofa, Claudia observed Bennett as he bent over to assess her wound, feeling her face flush.
The bruising on her knee hadn't completely subsided but it looked significantly improved compared to the initial day. She could now walk without any hindrance, as long as she avoided putting pressure on the bruise, avoiding any pain.
“I'm really not in pain."
Right after uttering those words, his thumb on her knee unexpectedly applied pressure.
Caught off guard, Claudia inhaled deeply.
At that moment, Bennett lifted his head, fixing his gaze on her.
“Doesn't it hurt?"
Blushing, Claudia replied, "It doesn't hurt unless it's touched.”
"So, it does hurt."
He ceased his actions and lowered her trouser leg.
