Chapter 406: My Guide
Kelly woke up a bit late, and Clifford was no longer in bed. She immediately got up to get ready, noticing it was already ten in the morning. She wondered where Clifford had gone, but one thing she was sure of it must have been an emergency for him to leave her alone like that.
Curiosity got the better of her, so she quickly headed to Dr. Ivan’s laboratory. Somehow, she had a feeling it might have something to do with her condition, though she was feeling great.
"Have you seen Clifford?" she asked a nurse she passed by, someone she recognized.
"Oh yes, he’s in Dr. Ivan’s office. I think they’re discussing something important since he rushed there," the nurse informed her. Kelly nodded, but for some reason, she felt a twinge of nervousness, wondering what it could be.
"By the way, congratulations, Mrs. White."
Kelly smiled warmly and replied, "Thank you."
It felt so good to be called Clifford’s wife and to be addressed by his surname. She headed straight to Dr. Ivan’s office, a place she was very familiar with since she often went there with questions. Lately, she’d gotten so comfortable that she would enter his office without hesitation, just like she planned to do now.
The door was slightly ajar, and she was about to push it open when Clifford’s angry voice made her flinch.
"No!" Clifford growled. "I will not tell her about it! I already told you that I will not let Kelly go through it. Don’t you understand that? So stop trying to persuade me!"
"But Clifford, this is very important! This is a cure we’re talking about, and we cannot delay it while waiting for another test subject. Kelly deserves to know about this too, and she should be able to decide on her own," Ivan argued.
"No!" Clifford’s voice grew louder. "She’s my wife, and I will decide for her. Back off, Ivan! I don’t care about your discovery. That so-called cure is still a trial and could harm my wife! I won’t risk it! I will not risk her health any further for this experiment. I’ll pull her out and pay the breach of contract if I have to!"
