Clara noticed her lost, vacant expression.

“I mean, you’re in a hospital,” she said gently.
“No better time to get a check-up than now. I can make the appointment for you, if you like?”
“I would like that. Thank you, Dr. Jimenez.”
“Oh, it’s really nothing,” Clara said with a shake of her head.
“I’m just relieved that you don’t blame me…”
‘What?
Rachel thought, caught totally off-guard by what she said.
“Blame you?” she said with a frown.
“Why would I blame you?”

“I Lied to you about Roger… And when it came to your pregnancy…
‘s
Miss Bennet, I’m so sorry. Please, forgive me.” Clara had been torn between this for a long time already. She knew it was wrong of her to lie about her identity, but she hadn’t wanted Rachel to have anything to do with her brother. She’d just been trying to protect him.
But since then, she’d come to view herself as a selfish woman.
As the only son of the Jimenez family, Roger was the sole heir to everything. Unlike most families, he probably wasn’t going to be forced into an arranged marriage. He was fortunate enough to be able to choose who to love and who to marry. But Clara hadn’t wanted that woman to be Rachel.
Especially not with all the absurd things Rachel had done in the last two years. But not only that; Rachel was Victor’s ex-wife. And now, even after they’d got divorced, they were still somehow always entangled with each other.
Clara knew how stubborn Roger was. And she knew that once he fell in love with someone, his heart would be set on that person.
She had been afraid that Rachel would use her to get close to Roger if she knew she was his sister. She knew Roger would do anything for Rachel. He’d follow her every whim and fancy, and obey every command she gave him.
She was terrified that Rachel would ruin Roger, and thus, the family.
She had felt the only choice she had left was to lie. But the one thing she hadn’t counted on was how important Rachel was to Roger, and how much he loved her. No one could have expected him to secretly resign from his position abroad and come back home once he heard that Rachel and Victor were divorced.
“So that’s what you came to tell me then,” Rachel said with a chuckle. Her voice and laughter brought Clara out of her thoughts.
“Well… Not exactly,” Clara said gently, fluttering her eyelashes like delicate butterfly wings.
Rachel leaned forward as if to listen carefully. She rested her elbow on the armrest, cradled her chin in her hand and gently tapped her fingers against her face.
Her intense gaze made Clara feel instantly uneasy. She had to resist the urge to reach up and wipe her face, as if Rachel’s close inspection had revealed a speck of dirt.
“Miss Bennet…”
Rachel’s lips curved into a slight smile, and, mercifully, she looked away.
