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

---- Chapter 104: Someone New in Her Corner After Sebastian returned from Silverton, he couldn't shake the thought of inviting Clara out for dinner. But Clara spent her weekends at Lucian's place, keeping little Leo company, so weekdays were the only chance. Sebastian wasn't sure if it was guilt driving him, or just that Clara's warmth made her easy to be around. Whatever the reason, every time he saw her, his mood lifted. On the day they planned to meet, Sebastian arrived early and waited in the outpatient wing of the hospital.

Through the glass, he caught sight of Clara in her white coat-focused, patient, all business. Something in his chest softened. Sue's daughter, he thought. Clara noticed him, hurried over, and offered an apologetic smile. "Mr. Storm, I'm so sorry. I still have about twenty minutes left on my shift." Sebastian waved it off. "Don't worry. Take your time. I was nearby anyway and figured I'd stop by a little ---- early." By pure coincidence, Judy and Grace were leaving the office next door. They'd been consulting Dr. Steven, since he was Grace's son's surgeon.

Running into Sebastian here was strange enough. But seeing him standing in pediatrics, chatting so warmly with a woman? That was shocking. And once they got a good look at her face, their jaws nearly hit the floor-she looked exactly like Sue. Then they heard her call Sebastian Mr. Storm. Could she really be Sue's daughter? Neither woman said a word, but once they hit the first floor, Grace couldn't hold it in. "Oh my God. That had to be Sue's daughter. The resemblance is unreal." Judy scoffed. "Didn't I always say Sue was a shameless flirt?

She used to swear her love was eternal, but in the end she still went off, married, and had a kid. And Sebastian's been living like a widower all these years for her?" Grace pointed to the hospital's wall of doctor profiles. "Look, Mom. Here's her info. Clara. Twenty-five years old. Graduated from-" Judy froze. "What did you just say? How old?" ---- "Twenty-five," Grace repeated. Then she stopped, the math hitting her like a slap. "Wait-don't tell me... that baby wasn't aborted back then?" Judy's face went stone cold. She remembered it all too clearly.

Back then, to avoid paying the procedure fee, they'd checked Sue in then left her there. So the child had lived. Judy's glare shot to Clara's photo on the wall. She wanted to rip it right off. No wonder Sebastian cut off our credit cards. Could it be...? No. Impossible. "He must not know yet." Grace bobbed her head quickly. "Clara just called him Mr. Storm. Clearly, neither of them know. And Sue's been dead for years." Just then, Sebastian and Clara came down the escalator, chatting and laughing as they headed out together. Judy and Grace melted into the crowd, watching them go.

Judy hissed, "We cannot let them find out. That woman is not getting her hands on the Storm family fortune." Grace nodded so hard her earrings jingled. After more than a decade of luxury, suddenly losing their lifeline ---- had been unbearable. She had always assumed Sebastian's fortune would pass to her kids one day. She'd dreamed about it so often she woke up smiling. But ever since that fight, Sebastian had frozen their accounts. The stress left her barely eating.

Staff salaries, the driver's pay, property management fees, maintenance bills, food for the whole household, and even her third son's hospital expenses-it all piled on until she could barely breathe. So when her mother-in-law spoke with such venom, Grace had no trouble agreeing. Clara slid into Sebastian's car. "Let's head to Serenique. Aaron reserved a private room there. He'll meet us later." "Anything's fine," Sebastian said. His voice was softer than usual. "It's just... after visiting your mother's grave, I felt heavy. I wanted to talk to you." Clara blinked.

"You went there?" He nodded, his face clouded. "Yes. The place was fine, but it felt so desolate. I wanted to ask if you'd ever
