Burn Those Who Burned Me novel Chapter 90

Chapter 90

Clara’s POV:

Saturday had finally arrived; the day Clara would meet Maria. As finished getting

dressed, she did one more check in her bookbag to make sure she had everything she

needed. A few minutes later, Gloria appeared in her door.

“Hey Clare–bear, ready to go?”

Clara looked at her best friend with an anxious smile.

“As ready as I’ll ever be.”

She responded nervously, Gloria gave her a heartfelt smile. She knew her best friend was extremely nervous. That night after she got home from her lab meeting with Ethan, Gloria and Casey had just arrived from their dinner date as well. Clara filled them both

in her meeting.

“Oh, my gosh. That’s so heartbreaking.”

Gloria’s eyes were welding up as Clara told them about his sister Maria.

“No wonder he’s been so desperate to meet you. Do you really think you can save her?”

Casey knew firsthand how brilliant Clara was, still, it’s always that possibility something won’t work in the world of medicine. He was concerned that if Clara failed, the Taylors would retaliate, but Clara wasn’t worried. With a gentle smile, she nodded and

responded to Casey’s concerns.

“I know why you’re worried, but it’ll be fine. Of course, there is no 100 percent guarantees in medicine, but I feel beyond conviction, I can save her.”

“Clara, you’re such a freaking rockstar!”

Gloria hugged her friend tight! She was so moved by how much Clara desired to save people. Casey gave a passionate smile; he was truly proud of his little sister. Playing

every bit the ‘big brother‘ role, however, Casey suggested both he and Gloria go with her

Saturday.

“I’m not saying I don’t trust Taylor, I’m just saying I’ll feel better knowing you’re not by yourself.”

That Wednesday, when Ethan called her with the details for Saturday, she’d asked if it would be okay for them to come with under the guise they would also be helping them with the trials. Ethan eagerly agreed, he wanted as many hands on this as possible if it met saving Maria. He was aware of how brilliant both Gloria and Casey were, but he was

also aware of how overly protective they had been with her. He knew the main reason for them coming was to make sure she would be okay. He found himself feeling relieved that she had such good friends, but that slight feeling of jealousy crept back in.

“That’s not a problem at all. My family is very excited to meet you.”

“I’m glad! I can’t wait to them as well.”

After grabbing her bag, Clara made her way to the foyer, Ethan had just sent her a text

that our ride was here.

“Gloria, Case, our ride is here.”

Clara called out to her friends, both making their way to the front door, Gloria beamed

with excitement. Jokingly, she grabbed Clara’s hand.

“Alright! Let’s go save your future sister–in–law!”

Clara’s eyes nearly popped out of her, Gloria’s words had completely shocked her!

“My what!!”

Casey simply chuckled, he had been the first one to suspect Ethan may actually like Clara on a personal level, but he chose not to say anything.

Gloria looked at her friend with an innocent expression.

“I’m just saying Clare–bear, I think he likes you!”

Clara blushed nervously as the made their way to the limo waiting for them. Before

getting in the car, Clara shot a death glare at both Casey and Gloria..

“Okay listen you two cackling hens! Do not, I repeat DO NOT say anything like that once we arrive at the Taylor Estate! This is strictly about saving a cancer patient!”

Both Gloria and Casey laughed hysterically, although Clara was mature and wise beyond

her years of a typically 19–year–old, there were some areas in life that she seemed a bit

clueless in. Gloria gave her friend an empathic smile.

“No worries, we won’t say anything silly.”

Letting out a sigh of relief, the trio got into the car.

The arrived at the Taylor Estate at 12:30pm. Clara could feel her nerves pacing. Although

she was confident in her medication, she still felt nervous knowing it she would finally

be able to begin trial runs. Heart started pacing rapidly as she closed her eyes and took

deep breaths. Gloria could notice the nervous expression on her friend’s face. Slightly smiling, she took Clara’s hands into hers.
