Chapter 22 He Was the One Who Saved Her +5 Free Coins Gregory's heart jumped as he quickly looked toward the door . Clarissa stormed in , flanked by a whole group of people . " Clare ? " The tension in Gregory's chest eased the moment he saw it was her . The door had been kicked open so violently that he'd thought Jonathan's men were back to finish what they started . Jonathan hadn't gone easy on him when he'd been captured . " Clare , did you come to see me ? " Gregory softened his tone instantly . " Come , sit down . It's cold out there - don't catch a chill . " Clarissa walked over without a word and sat down on the chair beside the bed , her expression unreadable . Shawn and the others exchanged confused looks . Wait … why did this little fireball bring us here ? Are we seriously just here to watch them flirt ? " Why the long face ? " Gregory smiled tenderly at her . " Chloe called me earlier . That girl's been spoiled rotten by all of us- completely out of control . She's mouthy , sure , but she doesn't mean any real harm . I know you just wanted to teach her a lesson, and I'm on your side . But she grew up in the countryside , never had it easy … Let's just let it go , alright ? " " No. " Clarissa's voice was ice cold . Gregory's soft smile froze for a second . He hadn't expected her to shut him down like that . As far as he was concerned , Clarissa liked him - she was just being willful . After all , hadn't she gone to Jonathan herself to get him released ? The thought annoyed him a little , but he still tried to coax her . " Clare , you're Chloe's sister - in - law . We're all family now . Can't you just let this one slide ? " " I'm not just holding her accountable . I'm holding you accountable , too. " Clarissa's tone turned mocking as she stared him down . " Gregory , all these years , you've eaten my food , spent my money … If the cash I gave you didn't break eight figures , it was d * mn near close . And now you're still lying here freeloading off my brother's hospital ? You're living in a fantasy . " Security ! Get him out of here ! " At her command , Shawn and the others stood frozen in place . It wasn't until Clarissa shot them a cold glance that they snapped out of it . The security guards immediately stepped forward , grabbed Gregory by both arms , and dragged him right off the bed . Gregory was completely stunned . He still hadn't recovered from his injuries , and being yanked like that made his face go ghost white from the pain . " Clare ! What the hell is up with you ?! " He stared at her in disbelief , never thinking she would actually be this heartless . " I'm settling a score . " Clarissa sneered . " Gregory , because you once saved me , I'll spare your life . I'm only throwing you out of the hospital . However , from now on , don't ever show your face in front of me again . If you do , I won't be so nice . Take him out . Starting today , he's banned from this hospital . And whatever debt he owes - make sure he pays up . The Chandler family doesn't hand out charity ! " " Yes , ma'am ! " The security guards shouted in unison , loud and clear . Shawn looked at Clarissa like she was a shining star . A miracle . This is a d * mn miracle ! Miss Clarissa isn't just sane today - she's killing it ! She's actually shredding that sc * mbag to pieces ! Thank goodness I didn't turn the director down ! Gregory was dragged out of the room just like that . Other patients peeked curiously into the hallway , and once they found out he'd been squatting there without paying , the looks they gave him were full of disgust . This is the top private hospital in all of Imperia . If you can't pay , what are you doing here ? Serves you right . Clarissa watched coldly . In her past life , she hadn't actually liked Gregory . What she had hated was how her family had tried to control her life .
