Saved Him, Now I'm Obsessed (10 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 130

The moment I sat down at my desk after arriving at the Medical Bureau, the door opened cautiously, and Ian walked in. His expression appeared utterly calm, but I knew the truth—he was watching my every move with extreme care.

In fact, ever since I discovered Grandfather’s book in Shuri’s study, more and more people had started eyeing me warily—Shuri himself, Ileina, and now Ian as well.

Was it because I now inhabited Claire’s body that I felt pity toward him, even though he was likely involved in my death? Was it Claire’s own lingering wish—to forgive her brother, or perhaps view him with a touch of compassion—that surfaced within me?

I delivered the happy news to him with an unusually gloomy face. My expression must have been so grim that he turned solemn, as if bracing for terrible news. He stood there dazed for a long while after hearing about Ileina’s pregnancy.

Eventually, Shuri pulled me into a hug, overjoyed.
