Chapter 807: Chapter 804: You Disappointed Me Too Much

"Thank you, Mom." Seth Quinn decided to respect Clara’s wishes. Whenever she wanted to tell their parents, that would be when they "told" them.

"You silly child, what are you thanking me for?" Sienna Hale scolded playfully, then hung up the phone with a cheerful laugh.

Seth held his phone, lost in thought for a moment. With a loud SMACK, he tossed his pen onto the desk, grabbed his jacket and car keys, and walked out of his office.

After hanging up, Sienna stepped out of the dressing room and headed toward the set where Clara Grant was filming.

Director Keane had just finished explaining the scene to Clara and Mason Holden. He sat down in front of the monitors, waved his hand, and instructed the assistant director, "Have all departments get ready. Let’s begin."

As soon as he spoke, he heard someone call out, "Director Keane." He turned around and saw Sienna walking over.

Surprised, Liam Keane quickly stood up. "Mrs. Quinn, what brings you here?" Realizing something a moment later, he added with dawn breaking on his face, "Oh, you must be here to visit Clara, right?"

Sienna smiled and nodded. "Yes. I love watching the shows our Clara acts in. Plus, I heard from Miles a long time ago that our Clara is an incredible actress, getting most of her shots in a single take.

"So, I’ve been meaning to find time to come to the set and see her in action for myself, but today was the first chance I got."

"Yes, yes, Clara is indeed very talented in acting. She’s great at motivating the other actors, which has sped up our shooting schedule significantly. Mrs. Quinn, watching her live will definitely let you feel her presence directly." After saying that, Director Keane glanced at Clara, who was adjusting her clothes not far away with her head down. He asked Sienna, "Does Clara know you’re here yet?"

Sienna nodded again. Liam quickly turned and called out, "Clara, come here for a second. Look who’s here."

Clara, having smoothed out her costume, was about to step onto her mark. Hearing Director Keane call her name, she quickly looked up. Seeing Sienna standing next to him, she exclaimed in surprise, "Mom?"

She hurried over at a light jog. Seeing her running in an ankle-length dress, Sienna felt a surge of panic, terrified she might trip and fall. She rushed forward a few steps to meet her, fussing, "Careful, careful! Why are you running so fast? Your dress is so long—what if you trip and land on your stom—I mean, what if you fall?"

"Mom, I’m fine." Clara couldn’t help but smile as her mother-in-law linked arms with her. "Mom, why are you here?"

"To see you, of course! Did you forget? I said last time I would come visit the set." Sienna put on a deliberately stern expression. "You didn’t eat breakfast this morning, did you? Since I was coming anyway, I brought you some food."

Hearing this, Clara muttered under her breath, "Mrs. Wyatt even reports things like this?"

Sienna naturally heard her and chuckled. "You’re wronging Mrs. Wyatt there. I called Orchidia to ask if you had left yet, and Mrs. Wyatt just happened to mention it while answering.

"I already left the food containers in the dressing room. Hurry up and go eat a little first."

"Thank you, Mom. I’ll eat right after I shoot this scene. Please, have a seat. I have to go over there." Clara started to head back to her mark.

Sienna grabbed her arm. "You’d better eat before shooting. How can you work properly on an empty stomach? Besides, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. If you skip it, your health will suffer." She then looked at Director Keane. "Director Keane, wouldn’t you agree?"

Liam didn’t hesitate. "Clara, Mrs. Quinn is right. You should go eat a little first. It won’t delay us by much time anyway."

Seeing that she couldn’t refuse, Clara nodded and told Sienna, "Mom, you sit down first. I’ll go eat."

"Go eat. I’m going to head back now. I need to get back and simmer some nutritious soup for you, then I’ll have a servant bring it over at noon."

"Mom, you don’t need to go through so much trouble. They make soup for dinner every day at Orchidia too; I can just have some when I get back tonight. Why trouble yourself to personally cook for me?"

Clara felt slightly puzzled and inexplicably uneasy. Something seemed off. Even though her mother-in-law treated her very well now, was there really a need to personally simmer soup and have it delivered?

"Oh, seeing how hard you work on set and how thin you are, I’m truly worried your body won’t be able to take it. So of course I have to give you some extra nutrition to build up your strength! That way you won’t get sick, and you won’t hold back the whole production crew."

Listening to Sienna’s perfectly reasonable words, Clara stopped overthinking. Not wanting to keep everyone waiting any longer, she quickly thanked her mother-in-law. "Thank you in advance, Mom. I’ll go eat now. Please tell the driver to drive safely on the way back."

"I will. Now, hurry along," Sienna said, waving at her with a smile.

As Clara strode quickly toward the dressing room, Sienna grew anxious again. She called out to the young assistant following Clara, "Quickly, go support her arm! Don’t let her walk so fast. There’s no rush!"

Seeing this, Liam smiled at Sienna. "Mrs. Quinn, it is truly Clara’s blessing to receive such meticulous care and concern from you."

"I am her mother-in-law; it’s my duty to care for her. Oh, I must hurry back to make that soup for Clara! Director Keane, I’ll be taking my leave now. I’ll leave you all to your work." With that, Sienna hurried away.

Inside the dressing room, the young assistant helped Clara open the food containers on the table. As she took out the dishes, she remarked, "Clara, Mrs. Quinn is so nice to you. You’re so lucky to have such a wonderful mother-in-law. Some people don’t even get this kind of careful attention and care from their mothers-in-law when they’re pregnant!"

The assistant’s words made Clara jolt upright from her stool. She frowned slightly at her bag on the table, reached out to open it, and quickly checked its contents while the assistant wasn’t looking.

Everything seemed normal. The medical exam report was still sitting safely inside the bag.

Clara felt she was being a bit too sensitive. Her mother-in-law probably hadn’t seen it. If she had, with her somewhat impatient temperament, how could she have held back from saying anything just now? However, she needed to call the hospital immediately to cancel her scheduled surgery.

"Clara, hurry up and eat. Everyone outside is waiting for us."

The assistant’s voice snapped Clara out of her thoughts. She hurriedly sat back down on the stool, ate a little from the containers, and rushed back out with her assistant.

When Seth arrived at the set, Clara was focused and deeply immersed in her scene. A staff member spotted Seth and was about to greet him.

However, Seth made a gesture for him to stay quiet and instructed in a low voice, "Don’t disturb my wife. Tell her after she finishes her work. I’ll wait for her in the dressing room." With that, he lifted his gaze to look at Clara in the distance, then headed straight for the dressing room.
