Chapter 5 Domestic Discipline

Domestic discipline?

Hearing these two words, Claire's body suddenly tensed up. She didn't know that she was pregnant for
a month until this morning, and the other party didn't know yet. But if they use the domestic discipline to
punish her, not to mention the baby, even she herself might not be able to protect herself.

"Wait a minute. Don't do this. I have already... Hiss... "

Before Claire could finish his words, the whip directly whipped on her back. The pain made Claire
suddenly straighten up, and thin beads of sweat immediately popped out on her forehead. If it went on
like this, she and the baby would die at the same time!

In the middle, she tried to stand up, but the whip almost fell to her belly. Frightened, Claire half lay on
the ground and tried her best to protect the child. Just as she didn't know how long she could hold on,
there was a sudden rebuke from James outside the door.

Both of Molly's and Shelly's faces turned pale in an instant, especially Shelly's. After all, only James
had the right to execute this family law, and Shelly was a person who pretended to be powerful. Now
that she was caught in the act, how could she not feel guilty and afraid?

Shelly and Molly looked at each other, and then put on a flattering smile and asked, "Father? Why are
you here? "

Although James didn't like Claire very much, after all, Claire was the daughter-in-law of the Gu Family,
and Claire didn't make any mistakes. Besides, Shelly used the criminal law on her without permission,
and she would also be punished!

Blue veins appeared on James's forehead. He gritted his teeth and said with hatred, "Shelly, it seems
that Sean hasn't taught you well recently, so you have done such a treacherous thing. Is it possible for



outsiders to enter the ancestral hall of the Gu Family! You don't deserve to be my daughter-in-law! How
could you make such a stupid mistake? Help me get Mrs. Claire back to her room and punish Shelly
according to the family law! "

This woman is really ignorant. Now the Gu Family had been in such a bad mood because of the affair
between Molly and Henry. She dared to stir up trouble in such a situation. It would be very
embarrassing if such a scandal was exposed!

And because of the rising anger, James's words were a little extreme. Undoubtedly, the word "outsider"
referred to Molly. After all, she was just a family friend to the Gu Family, not the sister in law.

His unintentional words made Molly feel ashamed. She wished she could find a place to hide. Molly
forced a smile and said stiffly, "Grandpa, maybe it's not the right time for me to come. If I do something
wrong, I hope you can forgive me. Since it's all right, I'm gonna go. Aunt... Remember, take care of
yourself! "

Shelly's face turned pale when she heard the last sentence. At the beginning, she had expected that
Molly would say something nice for her, but when the disaster came, she had already left! Despite her
dissatisfaction, Shelly had to kneel down and accept the whipping.

At this moment, Claire, who was lucky enough to pass the tribulation, did not return to her room and
was lost on the way back to her room. At this moment, her face was full of doubts, and unconsciously,
she began to become hesitant and uneasy.

Blinking her eyes, Claire smiled awkwardly and asked in confusion, "after all... Where am I going? "

The wind was getting stronger and stronger. Basically, the Gu Family had a grudge against Claire.
Wherever she went, she carried a secret identity and no one wanted to talk to her. Claire had expected
this at the beginning, so she didn't feel too surprised, but there was always a lost in her heart. She felt
a little disappointed...



After going around the villa for a few circles, Claire finally couldn't help but ask for help from others.
She quietly approached an old maid who seemed to be easy to talk to, and then carefully asked,
"Hello, I want to go back to the villa, which is a place to sleep, but I can't find a way. Can you help me?"

It was a common thing for the new comers to the Gu Family that they couldn't find the road. However,
Claire's reputation had been ruined from the very beginning, so even the maid avoided looking at her.
After Claire just asked, the maid ran away quickly, as if she was afraid that Claire would eat people.

Claire was a little embarrassed and froze in place. After a long silence, she slowly dragged her tired
body and continued to look for the way. At this moment, she did not know that everything she did was
in the eyes of James. Although James was old, he knew very well that this woman was special since
she could be liked by Henry. In that case, he had to carefully examine her.

He wanted to know what good this woman could do to make Henry abandon the Gu Family like this!

After searching for nearly half an hour, Claire finally got on the right track and found the way back to
her room. But at this moment, she was a little staggering. It was known that Claire was weak in body,
and she was punished by a family rule and exposed to the sun. She couldn't bear such a torture.

In a daze, she pushed the door open. With a loud bang, Claire closed the door and lay on the bed. She
didn't even want to move. Her whole body seemed to be burning with fire. The thirst in her throat made
Claire almost collapse.

"Mom..."

Tears slowly fell from the corner of her eyes, and then rolled down to the pillow. The Gu Family turned a
blind eye to her. If they don't take care of Claire, she would definitely become a fool because of the
high fever. She had a lot of things to do, and a mother in bed. How could she just leave?



At this moment, only Henry was left in Claire's last hope to ask for help. Now was her last chance! If
she didn't seize the opportunity now, she would probably lose everything! After hesitating for a while,
Claire slowly took out her phone and dialed the number of Henry.

Although she knew that he should be on the plane now, Claire still had a look of expectation. However,
when the cold busy tone came from the phone, Claire's heart sank a lot. It seemed that it was because
of this blow, so she was more energetic.

She couldn't take medicine. She was pregnant now, and taking medicine might cause her baby
infertility, cancer and mutation! As a doctor, she was very clear about this kind of thing. Except drinking
hot water to try her best to discharge toxins from her body, Claire could not think of any better way.

At the beginning, Henry also arranged maids for her, but Claire was not used to being served, so she
drove them away. This time, she was really in a bad state. With a bitter smile, Claire forced herself to
cheer up. After getting a cold towel from the bathroom, she went to bed.

If her fever couldn't be brought down before tonight, she would be really done! At this moment, Henry
was in a daze in the first class cabin with his eyebrows tightly knitted. What's wrong with him? Why did
he feel restless after getting on the plane as if he had missed something important!

After a moment of silence, Henry turned to look at his beloved subordinate, David, and asked, "David,
did I miss anything before I came out?"

This feeling of uneasiness had not been felt for a long time. If he remembered correctly, the last time he
felt this was when his mother died, right? Henry rubbed between his eyebrows irritably, looking
somewhat restless and uneasy.

David seemed to have noticed something and asked cautiously, "President, do you mean..."



He was a smart man and would never easily guess what was on Henry's mind. This man had always
been unpredictable. If he talked more, something might happen. As the saying goes, 'The more you
talk, the more you make mistakes.'! It was precisely because David was good at dealing with people
that he had the chance to stay with Henry for a long time.

Hearing that, Henry frowned. He kept silent for a while and then changed the topic. "I always feel
restless... How long will it take for us to get off the plane? "

He was in a good mood when he went out early this morning. Why did he suddenly become irritable as
soon as he went out? At the thought that he couldn't smell the faint scent of the herbs when he fell
asleep at night, Henry became restless. This feeling made him feel strange and funny.

They had only known each other for less than two months. Why did he begin to feel strange? After
laughing to himself, Henry slowly shook his head. Then he laughed at himself that he was not
ambitious. She was just a woman selling medicine. How could she make him so worried and restless?
Did she drug him?

Glancing at the navigation system above, David answered patiently, "about four or five hours later. Now
the speed is very fast, and it's not far. Mr. President, you can close your eyes and rest for a while!"

In the past, Henry would never ask such a question. Generally, after he boarded the plane, he would
read some magazines or approve some documents, so he would definitely not have such a restless
feeling. Who was the reason? David was more or less certain.

David didn't expect that Mr. Henry would have such a reaction. He was somewhat happy from the
bottom of his heart. Over the years, he had been used to seeing that Henry worked overtime all night
and worked alone, but he had never seen that Henry was so serious about a woman.
