Chapter 344 Impossible
Diana and Caroline both agreed that this was the best plan. After discussing the details, they went straight to the hospital to check the results.
Of course, if it had been just Caroline going alone, she wouldn't have been able to access the results. She needed Claire to accompany her. But with Diana, it was a different story. As the daughter of the Hawthorne family, getting results from the hospital was as easy as snapping her fingers. From the Halfmoon Manor to the hospital and back with the results, the entire process took only two hours.
When they finally saw the results, both women were stunned.
"What? Impossible. How could she not be pregnant?" Caroline was the first to react.
Her shock was evident.
"Caroline, what's going on? Are you sure Claire is pregnant?" Diana asked.
"I'm not 100% sure," Caroline stammered. "But yesterday, when she threw up, all the servants in the villa were saying she must be pregnant.
"Plus, she's been clinging to Frederick lately, so I just assumed

"It doesn't matter," Diana said after a moment of thought. "Whether she's pregnant or not, Claire doesn't know the results yet. If her belly hurts, won't she just assume something's wrong with the baby she thinks she's carrying? We'll stick to the original plan. Don't worry about it."
Anyway, it would not affect their plan.
"You're right, Diana. You're so clever," Caroline smiled and showered Diana with praise.
"Let's hurry back and get this done quickly," Diana said. "The longer we wait, the more complicated it could get. If Frederick comes back, it'll be even harder to deal with."
She crumpled the test results, tore them to shreds, and tossed them into the trash.
"Okay." Caroline nodded.
The two of them then headed back to the Halfmoon Manor.
On the way, they used their phones to search for medicines that could cause belly pain. Stopping by a pharmacy, they casually purchased one of the options they found. By the time they returned to the villa, it was 11:30 a.m.
The servants had just finished preparing lunch and were about to take the food down to the basement.

"Hey, wait. Where are you taking that food? Didn't you see Miss Hawthorne is here?" Caroline called out.
She stepped forward to make a fuss.
"Exactly. I'm here, and you're not serving me first? Where is this food going?" Diana chimed in.
The maid lowered her head and explained respectfully, "Miss Hawthorne, this food is for the basement. General Hawthorne instructed us to send it down yesterday." As the maid was distracted, Caroline discreetly added the medicine to the food.
"Oh, it's for the basement. Fine, go ahead then," Diana said, waving her hand once she saw Caroline had finished tampering with the food.
The maid took the food to the basement, while Diana and Caroline went to the dining room to have their meal.
With such an important task ahead, they needed to fill their stomachs first.
After they finished eating, they checked the time. It was 12:30.
They figured Claire should have eaten by then, but the medicine would take at least half an hour to kick in.
Diana gave Caroline a knowing look before sitting on the living room sofa. She grabbed the remote, turned on the TV, and selected a drama to pass the time. Chapter 344 Impossible
Sure enough, about half an hour later, before the first episode even ended, a maid ran upstairs from the basement in a panic.
"Something's wrong!" she shouted, rushing into the living room.
Her voice stopped abruptly when she saw Diana and Caroline.
Diana feigned ignorance. "Why are you in such a panic? What's happened?"
"Miss Hawthorne, Miss Caroline, you need to come quickly. Ms. Prescott is having severe belly pain," the maid explained anxiously.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
She rushed over to them.
"What? Belly pain? How could that happen? What did you give Claire to eat? Don't you know she's carrying Frederick's child?" Caroline gasped. She stood up dramatically and rushed toward the basement.
