Oops! My Secret Baby Is Caught By His Top-Lawyer Daddy! Novel

---- Steven shook his head. "No, no, you just rest. I'll get going now." Then he made a quick exit-one that made it clear he was no longer foolish enough to pine for Clara's heart. After breakfast, Clara made a voice call to Leo. "Leo, what are you up to?" "Just finished giving the puppy a bath. Mommy, why didn't you answer your phone last night?" Clara smiled. "I was working late and didn't see it. Be a good boy and help out around the house, okay? And don't bother Grandpa Lucian when he's reading.

I'll come visit you in a couple days." Not long after they hung up, the police arrived to take her statement. Derek, acting as Clara's attorney, accompanied her the whole time. Honestly, it was just a formality. Asher had basically dug his own grave-the videos from both phones captured the whole incident in perfect detail, and the hallway security footage backed it up. There really wasn't anything left to clarify. After confirming the basic facts, Aaron, not wanting Clara to relive the trauma, told her to go rest. Once the police left, only Aaron and Derek remained in the living room.

---- Derek turned to him and asked, "So, Aaron, any thoughts? Want me to have someone handle anything?" Aaron's tone was icy. "No thoughts. We'll go by the book." Derek said, "I've already requested a full physical for Asher. Bribery, faking illness to get out of jail time, early release-on top of attempted rape and assault? He's looking at at least double his original sentence." Aaron's lilac eyes burned with pain and fury. This time, Asher had completely crossed the line. Clara's injuries, her tears-they stabbed straight through Aaron's heart.

Asher had dared to hurt the woman he cherished above all else. He was going to pay for that. And it wouldn't stop with Asher. Linsey Wilson was going down too. Hell, the entire Wilson family was on the list. The Edenfield Group didn't have much business in Greystone, but Wilson Enterprise looked like the perfect place to start. That afternoon, Scarlett and Sierra Austin showed up together. Of course, Derek hadn't kept the incident a secret-so Scarlett found out pretty quickly. ---- With three women in the room, the place instantly came alive with chatter and laughter.

Both had already gotten the full story from Derek. Seeing Clara in decent spirits finally allowed them to relax. Scarlett looked around the hospital room. "Clara, are you sure you're not here on a honeymoon?' Oh, right-Andy had totally redecorated the place this morning. He'd brought in Clara's pajamas from home, swapped in her favorite bedsheets, and even changed the curtains. Aaron had insisted that the hospital's standard-issue gray ones were depressing and bad for recovery. To keep her entertained, he'd even installed a projector so she could binge dramas and listen to music.

The living room area had also been made cozy and warm, filled with the rich aroma of Aunt Paige's homemade soup-something about replenishing blood. This level of VIP treatment? Yeah, no one else was getting that. Clara pointed at her neck and joked, "Honeymoon, my ---- ass! I'm barely hanging on here!" Sierra sighed dramatically. "Poor Aaron... with you hurt like this, when's our hotshot lawyer ever gonna get his hands on that body of yours?" Color instantly rushed to Clara's pale face. "Is Austin outside?

Go call him in-I wanna ask if he's been lusting after your body lately!" Sierra didn't even blink. "We're old married folks. I'm not afraid of your questions." Scarlett teased, "Ooh! So you two are remarried now? Spill the tea, I wanna hear everything!" Clara leaned forward with interest, eyes sparkling with curiosity. But Sierra just smirked, "That's classified." Wait-Sierra had secrets now? Scarlett immediately pounced, pestering her relentlessly for details.
