Arthur arrived at the city hospital thirty minutes later.
He walked through the sliding glass doors with quick steps.
The smell of medicine filled the bright waiting room corridor.
A young doctor walked out from behind blue curtains.
Arthur: Doctor, how is Clara and her unborn baby?
Doctor: She suffered a mild concussion, but the baby is fine.
Arthur let out a long sigh of deep relief instantly.
He sat down on a blue plastic chair near the wall.
Arthur: Thank goodness they are both alive and safe.
Doctor: She is awake now and asking to speak with you.
Arthur walked into the small hospital room with gentle steps.
Clara rested against two white pillows on the metal bed.
Her face looked tired, but her eyes were bright again.
Clara: Thank you for coming to help me, Arthur.
Arthur: I am so sorry for what my wife did today.
Clara: She revealed something strange before I fell down.
Arthur pulled a wooden chair close to her hospital bed.
Arthur: What did she say to you on the staircase?
Clara: She said my late father audited your family estate.
Arthur froze in surprise as he heard those words clearly.
He remembered the audit from five full years ago vividly.
Arthur: Your father was Thomas Vance, the chief tax auditor?
Clara: Yes, he passed away right after finishing that report.
Arthur rubbed his forehead as a realization clicked into place.
Arthur: Eleanor told me your father stole money back then.
Clara: My father never stole a single penny in his life!
Arthur: Now I see that Eleanor was lying to me all along.
He stood up and pulled his phone out once again.
Arthur: I am calling my private investigator right this minute.
He walked toward the window to make the urgent phone call.
Arthur: Find every document from the five-year estate audit now!
Clara watched him with a small sense of growing hope.
She knew her father's clean reputation was about to be restored.
The truth was finally coming out into the open air.
Arthur turned back to face Clara with a determined expression.
Arthur: Eleanor will pay for every crime she ever committed.
