Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 857

Claire looked at Wilbur, who was sitting by the bed, her face full of surprise. 'What are you doing here?'

Wilbur wasn't in a hurry to answer her question. Instead, he swirled the small amount of water left in the glass and asked, 'Want some more? You seemed pretty thirsty.'

She had practically downed the entire glass.

Claire felt a little awkward, mainly because she never expected Wilbur to be the one feeding her water. Her mind paused for a second before she suddenly remembered something. 'Did you see anyone else when you came in?'

Wilbur shook his head. 'No.'

Claire let out a mocking chuckle.

Just as she expected. That jerk had probably been summoned away by his little pet again.

Claire drank another half glass of water, feeling her throat finally soothe. Leaning against the headboard, she asked Wilbur again, 'Why are you here?'

'Noreen asked me to come,' Wilbur explained. 'She couldn't get through to your phone and was worried something happened to you. Since she couldn't make it from Rivercrest City herself, she reached out to me.'

Claire hurriedly searched for her phone. Wilbur handed her coat over, and when she took out her phone, she realized it was completely dead. Having waited at city hall all day, the battery had drained long ago. That was why Noreen Gilmore couldn't reach her.

'How did Noreen know I was in the hospital?' Claire asked, slightly confused.

Wilbur's expression barely shifted. 'She didn't.'

'Then how did you find me?' Claire was even more puzzled.

Wilbur explained, 'Pure coincidence.'

It wasn't actually a coincidence. He had gone to city hall and seen on the security footage that Claire had fainted and been taken away by Felix. He guessed she must be at a nearby hospital. He had searched them one by one, asking at every front desk until he finally found her.
