No Divorce? The Billionaire's Love Chase! novel Chapter 381

York tried to reason with Claudia in the gentlest tone he could manage. "Claudia, I told you, I have my reasons for keeping her here. If you just agree to help me, you'll understand everything."

Claudia pushed him away.

Her eyes were resolute. "York, I don't care what your reasons are, and I don't want to know the truth. I can't do this. Find someone else."

Whether York's goal was to persuade her to treat Ann or to hypnotize her to uncover some truth, she wasn't interested. And she couldn't agree to it.

Claudia turned to go back to the bedroom.

"What if she's responsible for someone's death?" York called out from behind her. "What if she's a criminal who slipped through the cracks of the law? Would you still refuse?"

Seeing him ready to leave, Claudia quickly stepped in his way. "Skipping breakfast is bad for you. I made you something. Eat before you go."

York stood his ground, his face cold. "What do you want to say?"

"What I said last night," Claudia replied. "Just think about it."

York pushed past her. "Go eat your food."

Claudia grabbed his arm, her tone patient. "York, I'm not trying to scare you. You've finally found your true love; you should cherish her. If Ann's insomnia continues, it will do serious damage to her health."

She continued, "First, her temper will get worse, which will affect her ability to raise that boy. She'll have headaches, memory loss, and trouble concentrating. It could also lead to organ damage, gastrointestinal problems, an increased risk of diabetes, a higher risk of cancer, and—"
