However, Claire steps on Leo’s foot before he comes closer. She pushes him hard and keeps him
away.
“Don’t dream! You want me to marry you? It’s impossible!” With that, Claire turns to leave the room. But
he takes her hand directly.
Claire looks back at Leo and yells, “you bastard! What do you want to do?”
But what Claire didn’t expect is that she sees Leo’s serious expression. He stares into Claire’s eyes
and seriously asks, “don’t you want to marry me?”
Claire blurts out, “I don’t want to marry someone like you!”
“Then you may be disappointed. No one can stop me!” Leo becomes cold again. He turns and leaves
the ward.
Claire freezes. She clenches her teeth and makes up her mind to leave him!
For the next few days, Leo still takes care of Claire.
Claire thinks he is ridiculous. She ignores him. She only eats food from Luke.
Claire’s attitude to Luke makes Leo jealous.
Claire will occasionally smile at Luke and listen to him. They get along well.
But Claire is cold with him. She is expressionless and cold.
One day, Luke comes to see Claire. He brings the pears she likes.
“Where’s Leo?” Luke sits down and looks around. He doesn’t see Leo.
When Claire was in a coma, the two of them took turns guarding her. But since Claire woke up, Leo
has stopped Luke from staying with her.
But Luke occasionally comes to see Claire. And he knows Claire wants him to come over a lot.
“Don’t mention him.” Claire is not very happy. She curls her mouth and says, “wash a pear for me.”
“Wait. I’ll peel it for you.” Luke takes the fruit knife out of the drawer and peels the pear.
Looking at Luke’s serious face, Claire feels warm. Only Luke is not afraid of Leo’s anger and comes to
see her.
Kate once came to see her, but Leo was there. They almost quarreled.
Thinking of this, Claire says to Luke gratefully, “thank you, Luke.”
It’s simple but meaningful.
Luke chuckles. He hands the pear to Claire and says with a smile, “come on. We are friends.”
Yes, they are friends. Luke can’t call such feelings love. For him, Claire can only be a very important
friend.
Claire slaps Luke on the shoulder and laughs, “thank you, big friend!”
They laugh. The atmosphere is very harmonious.
Leo’s hand on the doorknob doesn’t turn. He listens to their laughter quietly. After a while he finally
turns the doorknob.
But as soon as he goes in, the laughter stops. The two people in the ward look at him together. Claire
looks at him and then turns to eat the pear.
Leo has a lunch box in his hand. His face is cold and he doesn’t speak.
The atmosphere becomes awkward.
Luke gets up quickly to ease the atmosphere. He smiles and says, “Leo, you’re back.”
He takes the lunch box from Leo. He opens it and cheers, “it’s chicken soup. Claire, it must taste good.”
Claire says coldly, “put it there. I have no appetite.”
“OK.” Luke knows what happened to Claire and Leo. He says nothing and closes the lunch box. He
says to Claire, “I put it here. You can eat it when you want to. I have something to talk to Leo.”
They are stunned. They don’t know if Luke is coming to the hospital to visit Claire or talk to Leo.
Luke walks up to Leo and whispers to him, “let’s go out and talk.”
Leo looks at his friend and his emotions are complicated. He feels Luke is very nice to Claire.
After they leave the room, Luke’s relaxed expression disappears. He looks at Leo seriously and says,
“Leo, I have a new clue about the little wild cat and a series of things that happened before.”
Leo knows that Luke really wants to talk to him. He looks at him seriously and asks, “what’s your clue?”
In fact, Leo thinks about what happened in this period of time these days. He finds a lot of strange
things.
For example, Emma’s expression and Claire’s words.
“That day we found a man outside that old and broken house.” Luke takes a deep breath and intends to
explain to Leo in detail. He says, “I find out that on the night of Emma’s death he was drinking with
some of his buddies. They drank all night so he had no chance to kill Emma.”
Hearing it, Leo frowns. He looks at Luke and says, “you mean he didn’t kill her but he lied that he killed
her?”
Leo remembers that night he confessed that Bryce sent them to kill Emma. Leo doesn’t dare to keep
thinking. He was so angry that night that he didn’t even think about the credibility of his words.
“Yes.” Luke nods and continues, “I find out he might have lied, so I send someone to investigate him. I
find out he has nothing to do with Bryce. And I find another thing!”
“The killer who tried to kill you last time has something to do with him. They know each other! I think
they may be partners. They want to frame Bryce!”
Leo is shocked at the news. He stares at Luke in disbelief. Has he wronged Bryce?
some of his buddies. They drank all night so he had no chance to kill Emma.”
