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

---- Chapter 129: Do You Know A Grace Storm? Aaron went over everything in his mind carefully but came up completely empty. An hour later, Alvin returned with the police. Clara woke when she heard the voices. The officers came in to take her statement, asking her to recount every detail about the incident. One of the officers said, "Based on eyewitness accounts and the driver's condition, we initially determined this was a case of drunk driving. He pressed the gas instead of the brake, causing the accident. The other two injured pedestrians have agreed to settle.

Clara, do you have any additional requests?" Clara thought for a moment. "If this was truly an accident, I don't have any special demands. Just follow the regulations and compensate me accordingly. But when the crash happened, I made eye contact with the driver. He was fully aware, and it was obvious he recognized me." The officer quickly wrote that down. Clara added, "Also, these past two days, whenever I left ---- work, I kept getting the feeling that someone was watching me. I'm not sure if it was real, though." Aaron frowned.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner?" Clara replied, "I wasn't completely sure myself, and with Alvin picking me up, I didn't think much of it." Aaron turned to the officer. "I want to follow up on two points. First, why was that van parked outside the hospital, and what were the exact times? Second, the driver's financial situation, his family background, and whether he received any large money transfers recently." The officer nodded. "Understood. We'll continue investigating and keep you updated." Clara didn't want to stay in the hospital, and the doctors agreed that she could recover at home.

Matt helped her with the discharge paperwork, and Aaron carried her downstairs. Seeing her colleagues smirking in the hallway, Clara blushed and quickly told Aaron, "There's a wheelchair over there. Push me down in it." Aaron glanced down at her and smirked. "Since when is carrying your wife in public against the law?" Alvin hurried ahead to press the elevator button. ---- Once inside, Clara finally dared to speak. "I've only been back at work a week, and now I have to take time off again. I wonder if the boss will fire me." Aaron's tone was sharp. "Fire you? Perfect.

Both incidents happened at the hospital. Who cares if you work or not?" Clara quickly explained, "We don't even know the cause this time. Maybe it really was just an accident." Aaron didn't argue further. He helped her into Alvin's car. He told Matt to have the law firm's private investigator look into the driver's family and financial situation. It wasn't that he didn't trust the police, but legal procedures were slow. Investigating on his own would be faster. Back home, Clara finally sank into bed with a sigh of relief. She was lucky it hadn't been worse.

Leo brought her tea, and Aaron busied himself attending to her every need. Clara thought, maybe this was what life as a queen felt like. With injuries on her hands and feet, she couldn't even shower. Aaron helped clean her up. That night, Clara curled into his chest. "Honey, what would I do without you?" ---- Aaron's voice was low and husky. "Don't flirt with me now.

Clara whispered near his ear, "Honey, I love you." Aaron replied firmly, "If you don't want to do anything while hurt, then just sleep." He tucked her under the blanket carefully and held her close, knowing she had been scared today and was clinging to him for comfort. By the third day, Clara's ankle had swollen down enough that she could tiptoe a few steps. Ronni still insisted on delivering meals to her room, and Leo played quietly nearby. Clara could finally relax. That afternoon, Sebastian came by. "You got hurt and didn't tell me? Our cook makes amazing soup.

I'll have her make some for you tomorrow." Clara waved him off. "No need. It's not serious. I'm. almost fully recovered." Aaron brought the police into the living room and handed them the files collected that morning. By afternoon, everything had arrived-efficient work. The private investigator discovered that the driver's wife had received an $800,000 transfer a week before the incident and admitted that someone had ---- instructed her husband to act. Aaron didn't recognize the person behind it. The police turned to Clara. "Clara, as you suspected, this was not an accident.

Do you know a Grace Storm?" Clara thought for a long moment. "No, I don't. But I see so many patients every day. Could it be a patient's family member?" The officer said, "That's possible. But she won't say anything except that it was a personal vendetta. She's currently being held at the precinct." Aaron said, "I want to go talk to her myself." "Grace?" Sebastian suddenly reacted. "I know her! She's my sister-in-law!" Everyone turned to look at him. "Yes, Grace is my older brother Theodore's wife. That's impossible!

She doesn't even know Clara-why would she order someone to hit her?" Aaron said, "I want to understand the situation firsthand." Sebastian insisted on going along. Clara wanted to go too, but she couldn't move freely yet. In the interrogation room, Grace looked impatient, ---- shouting at the police, "I already admitted it. I told the driver to teach Clara a lesson. Now she's injured but not seriously, right? How much does she want in compensation? I agreed to all her demands." The officer said, "Please cooperate and explain the situation clearly." Grace replied, "I've said it many times.

I transferred $800,000 to Hunter's wife and told Hunter to scare Clara. That afternoon, he drove at her to frighten her. That's it." Grace was following Judy's instructions to the letter, repeating exactly what her mother-in-law had said. At first, Grace didn't want to appear at all, but Judy insisted they split responsibilities: one provides the money, the other does the action. It was $800,000. Grace didn't want to spend it, so she handled contacting Hunter. Hunter was a repeat offender. For the right amount of money, he would commit any kind of crime.

By chance, he only caused minor injuries to Clara and dragged Grace into the mess. Now, Grace just hoped Hunter was smart enough to insist it was only meant to scare her, so nothing serious would happen. ---- When Sebastian and Aaron entered, Grace wilted immediately, avoiding Sebastian's eyes. "Grace, what's going on?" Sebastian asked in disbelief. Judy muttered, "I just don't like her. She looks exactly like Sue. I hate her. I just wanted to teach her a lesson." Aaron said coldly, "You dislike someone and think that's a reason to hire a hitman?

What do you think the law is for?" Grace tried to glare at him but quickly looked away. "Who the hell are you?" Aaron replied, "I'm Clara's lawyer."
