Chapter 183 Let Him Stay
The explosion event planned by Pedro’s fans caused a stir throughout Adron.
The plan was carried out by a chemistry major college student, who illegally purchased a series of raw materials and made a highly powerful explosive.
Because of jealousy toward Claudia, I had been planning for a long time and spent several days staking out at the hospital; finally finding an opportunity.
It is said that at the very moment the incident happened, Pedro announced his retirement, disbanded all fan groups, paid hefty penalties to all endorsement partners. This was his response to the maniacal fan, and despite numerous fans crying and condemning, it was in vain. Pedro refused any interviews and stayed at the hospital day and night.
The Friedan family even dispatched hundreds of bodyguards to stand guard at the hospital, and no journalists or fans dared to approach.
This time, Pedro and the Friedan family were both angry.
Claudia also became famous because of this.
Edmond shielded her from the bomb, Pedro stepped in to protect her from the crowd, and several men from the Friedan family became angry on her behalf, sending the fan directly to prison, refusing any form of reconciliation.
After Claudia became famous, even her social media accounts‘ aliases were discovered. She gained millions of followers in a day and became

a new type of internet celebrity.
Watkins Memorial Hospital, Intensive Care Unit.
In Claudia’s room, Pedro was wrapped in a blanket, resting with his eyes closed on the recliner. However, his handsome face, bruised and swollen, appeared quite comical.
Several bodyguards walked in, Waldron waved his hand and said coldly, “Take him out.”
Pedro opened his eyes, his swollen eyes gleaming with cold light. He stood up and punched one after another, showing no mercy.
Although he was just one person, he had good skills, and the bodyguards were quickly knocked down.
Waldron’s face turned cold as he rolled up his sleeves, but he was stopped by Ervin.
“Never mind, let him stay.”
These days, no matter what method was used, Pedro stayed in this ward and refused to leave.
The Friedan family did not have a good impression of this Pedro, after all, it was his fans who were the main culprits.
“Hasn’t she woken up yet?” Waldron looked at Claudia lying on the bed, his brows furrowed tightly.
“No.” Ervin sighed, his face filled with sorrow.
“Where is that person?” Waldron deliberately lowered his voice.
Although he didn’t have a good impression of Edmond, he ultimately shielded the most dangerous part for his own sister. If it weren’t for
him, Claudia might have lost her life long ago.
“Still in the intensive care unit, haven’t come out yet. The doctor said the situation is not very good…”
The situation was not very good…
Waldron pursed his lips, feeling as if a large stone was weighing on
his heart.
“His mother, it is said that no one saw her off…” Ervin’s voice was hoarse, and his face showed seriousness.
Only close family members can be present at the end.
The atmosphere was dead silent.
Edmond ultimately did not see his mother for the last time.
After that day, he stayed in the intensive care unit. He stayed there for three days, during which the doctors worked hard to save him, but it seemed that the results were not satisfactory.
Claudia, who was saved by him, however, escaped from danger.
In her sleep, Claudia watched as Edmond moved away from her.
She reached out to grab, but only caught a gust of air.
“Edmond…”
As I slowly woke up, the first thing that caught my eye was the ceiling light. Shortly after, Waldron and Ervin quickly gathered around.
“Sister, are you awake? Doctor, doctor!”
Looking at Waldron and Ervin, both looking exhausted, Claudia tried to sit up, but she had no strength in her body.
She looked around and thought of the scenes in her dream. Her heart felt empty, as the wind howled in.
The scene of explosion in her dream continued many times, reminding her vividly that Edmond had saved her life again.
“Ervin, Waldron,” she whispered, her lips barely moving, pale and weak.
“In, in, we’re here!” Waldron exclaimed nervously and excitedly. urging the doctor, “Please quickly check on my sister, how is her condition?”
The doctor hurriedly approached her to conduct an examination.
In the corner of the room, Pedro saw Claudia wake up, but he only dared to look from a distance and didn’t dare to approach.
Claudia was ultimately injured because of him.
If it weren’t for him, fans wouldn’t have magnified their hatred toward
her.
Waldron glanced at him helplessly and smirked, “Just come over and take a look, then leave quickly after you’re done.”
These days he also realized that Pedro wouldn’t leave if he wasn’t sure Claudia was okay.
This was the special care ward, with only Claudia as a patient. In order to not affect her reputation, Ervin also stayed here with her for the past few days.
Claudia looked toward the corner of the room, and Pedro, hunched over, slowly walked toward himself.
In just these few days, his star halo faded away, as if he aged several

years in an instant.
A few strands of hair turned white, and the beard was unshaven. He didn’t look like a celebrity, but rather like a middle–aged man who neglected his appearance.
“How did you become like this?” Claudia’s lips curled up, a big smile spreading across her face. “I’m fine.”
Upon hearing her comforting words, Pedro’s lips trembled and tears streamed from his swollen eyes.
Guilt, regret, and frustration swept over him once again.
“Sorry, sorry…” he walked up to Claudia, knelt down with both knees softening, and covered his face with his hands, which quickly became wet with tears.
“Why are you making such a big fuss? Didn’t we say it’s okay?”
Claudia smiled gently. She understood Pedro’s guilt, but it wasn’t his fault.
There are all kinds of people in this world, let alone going to the hospital to register, which was also her request.
He had a star halo, so he shouldn’t have had any connection with himself.
She touched her belly and could feel the presence of a little life.
As long as the child was fine, it was good.
Seeing her gently stroking her belly, Waldron softly said, “You had a show earlier, and Ervin immediately called in the renowned head of the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics in Wyvernport. But the doctor said that forcing the child to survive like this… I wonder if there will be any long–term effects in the future.”
Claudia touched her belly and paused for a moment. In just a few seconds, a gentle expression appeared on her face, “It’s good to be alive.”
This child was unexpectedly tenacious.
Since he wanted to live, she had to do everything in her power to make him live.
If it weren’t for Edmond, she and the child might not have survived.
Thinking of the scene in her dream, Claudia’s face became serious. “Where is Edmond? How is he doing?”
The atmosphere grew cold, and no one responded.
Claudia’s face went numb and her heart was pounding.
Waldron turned away, while Ervin looked at her gently, as if wanting to say something but hesitating.
Pedro’s face was even more terrifyingly pale.
Suddenly, Claudia had a bad feeling.
“Ervin, Waldron…” her voice was weak, with a slight tremor, “Edmond, how is he?”
“Your mother–in–law pa**ed away, and he didn’t attend the funeral…..” Ervin looked around and avoided the topic.
From the very beginning, they had been avoiding talking about Edmond.
Thinking of the man who had pounced on her, her heart was tied up like a rope, shrinking inch by inch, convulsing in pain.
Her nasal pa**age was blocked, and the heavy oppression made it impossible for her to breathe.
