14 Chapter 14 : Don't Go Home Tonight If Serena had been moved to get into Caleb Lockwood's car because of her situation earlier , now after hearing Claire Shaw's words , she only wanted these two people to disappear from her sight quickly . " No need , I can walk by myself ." Seeing Serena refuse , Caleb glanced at her bleeding knee and said softly , " Suit yourself . " Her thin body shivered indistinctly in the downpour . " Caleb , are you really going to leave Serena behind ? She's drenched like a wet chicken ." Claire asked while taking the opportunity to place her hand on Caleb's thigh . " She doesn't want to get in the car herself . " After saying that , Caleb told Mr. Miller driving the car : " Let's go ; don't delay Claire's business ." A bolt of lightning tore the sky . The black Maybach drove away from Serena's sight , followed by a thunderclap exploding nearby . Serena squatted down at the roadside , unable to tell whether the physical pain or the heartache hurt more . She took out her phone and called the police first , then called Lana Xavier . At such times , the biggest relief was having her phone ; otherwise , she'd truly be clueless about what to do . Serena initially thought Lana Xavier would come to her first , but it was an ambulance that arrived instead . The red and blue emergency lights remained striking even in the stormy weather . " But I didn't call an ambulance ! " Serena muttered to herself , thinking maybe Lana Xavier had called it for her . The rain intensified ; the black Maybach's wipers sped up . In the car's backseat , Claire Shaw and Caleb Lockwood were both scrolling through their phones . Claire Shaw : How did you handle things ? She's perfectly fine ; not to mention being stripped and paraded , did that group even touch her ? 2 14 Chapter 14 : Don't Go Home Tonight joker : She knows how to fight , has some skills , so she escaped . Claire Shaw tutted inwardly , quickly deleted the conversation , and when Caleb glanced in her direction , she immediately pressed the power button to turn off the screen . " I wonder if I can find new design inspiration at Billasophir's art exhibition . " Claire sweetly asked Caleb . " You'll be fine ," Caleb's voice barely fluctuated but certainly encouraged Claire , " But ... you initially said this road was on the way to visit the juvenile center , right ? " " Oh , yes ! " Claire's smile appeared somewhat unnatural . " The juvenile center is , after all , where our fate began , but Billasophir's meeting is about to start ... honestly , if it weren't for running into Serena , it wouldn't have taken so long " 1 " Yes , it's all her fault . " Caleb echoed Claire's sentiments , remaining cold whenever Serena was mentioned , though Claire couldn't discern any blame from Caleb's expression . The Third Hospital of City A. After being brought here by ambulance , Serena was forced to cooperate with the doctors for a very thorough check - up . She felt her injuries weren't too severe , mostly superficial wounds , and the psychological fright and trauma far outweighed the physical . Serena didn't quite understand why the doctors were so concerned about her physical state , as they arranged a first - class ward for her to rest and receive an IV . Lana Xavier arrived late due to the bad stormy road conditions , with two parking tickets . Seeing Serena's pale face , wearing hospital garments and lying on a hospital bed coughing occasionally , Lana's eyes immediately reddened . " Serena ... " Seeing Lana almost burst into tears , Serena hurriedly explained that she wasn't badly hurt . She briefly recounted her ordeal to Lana , who instantly became agitated . " It's definitely that green tea mistress ! She's the one who sent those thugs to molest you ! " 14 Chapter 14 : Don't Go Home Tonight Serena shushed Lana , offering a bitter smile : " How do you know that ? You have no proof . " " I just know . " Lana vowed with conviction , " Let me tell you , novels are written like this ; it's reality mirroring fiction . " Serena wouldn't dismiss Lana's speculation , though Sean Sanders and his crew had a history of harassing female instructors . Since she'd previously provoked them due to Justin Nash , it was hard to say if this incident was related to Claire Shaw . Serena was just surprised to run into Caleb Lockwood and Claire Shaw at her most embarrassing moment ; was it really such a coincidence ? " Caleb Lockwood is such a scumbag ! " Lana said through clenched teeth , " Even with you hurt like this , he drove off ?! Taking that damn green tea with him ... He won't divorce , but will cheat ; do you think he's mentally split ? " 1 Lana's analysis of Caleb Lockwood elicited a bitter smile from Serena . Comparing the young Caleb Lockwood at the juvenile center to the current Caleb , she indeed had to agree with Lana . " Don't be upset if I'm badmouthing him ! " Clearly considerate of Serena's feelings , Lana sighed . " I'm divorcing him ; I won't side with him anymore ." " You ? " Lana glanced at Serena , shaking her head , " That's not certain ." Serena knew her love - struck personality was always what frustrated Lana the most . " Miss Jennings ! " Suddenly , the ward door was pushed open , and Justin Nash entered . Seeing Serena on the hospital bed with Lana beside her , Justin realized how rude he'd been . " Sorry , sorry , sorry , I should've knocked first . " Serena wasn't about to blame Justin , she introduced Lana and Justin to each other , and Lana immediately started matchmaking , trying to pair Serena and Justin . 13 250 14 Chapter 14 : Don't Go Home Tonight " I think this guy's good . " Lana pointed her thumb at Justin , " Just the way he's worried about you , ran out of breath , is a thousand times better than your scumbag husband ." Praised , Justin smiled shyly and proudly , rubbing the back of his head . Serena felt a bit embarrassed , fearing Justin might take it seriously . " Oh right , Miss Jennings , a friend from the courthouse mentioned you can get a divorce ." Serena's eyes suddenly brightened but then dimmed . " But ... " " Rest assured , my friend is a judge ; he says no matter the opposing power , as long as the infidelity evidence is irrefutable , you can divorce ." Justin's words injected Serena with confidence , though pondering the proof of infidelity , her chest throbbed painfully , more than her body wounds . That day , Serena's check - up results came out , revealing no concern for the vital organs , but her leg injury needed care , having caught a cold . Doctors advised continued hospital observation . Caleb Lockwood accompanied Claire Shaw to the art exhibition and meeting , then took her shopping . Claire liked pink , and looked good in it . Thus , Claire tried many pink outfits and dresses . Caleb wasn't in a hurry, patiently waiting for Claire to change , praising each outfit she tried on . Occasionally , he'd lower his head to check his phone , until receiving a WeChat from Mr. Miller : President Lockwood , as per your instructions , the doctors checked Miss Jennings , mostly superficial wounds , but the leg injury is somewhat severe ; coupled with a cold , she needs at least a week of hospitalization . The first - class ward will remain reserved for Miss Jennings . " Caleb , how about this dress ? " Claire changed into a new dress to show Caleb , who put away his phone , charming smile lifting his lips . " Nice , suits you well . " 14 Chapter 14 : Don't Go Home Tonight In the end , Caleb paid for all the clothes Claire tried on , and when he brought Claire home late at night , the rain was still pouring . Caleb always escorted Claire upstairs to her door . This time was no different . " Rest early , good night ." As Caleb was about to turn around , Claire suddenly grasped his hand . " Caleb ... " She pulled Caleb from outside the door into her apartment . " It's raining hard outside , you know I'm afraid of thunder ... " Claire's voice sounded sweet and soft , like cotton candy , with her delicately made - up face reflected in Caleb's eyes in pink hues . " Why don't you stay over tonight , keep me company , alright ?" Comment 6 Post your first comment ! Vote 21 Show support to the author by leaving comments when sending gift .
