Claire puts her hand on his back and coaxes Conan to sleep.
Conan is comfortable. He closes his eyes and sleeps for a while. He opens his eyes and says to Claire,
“Mommy, if you miss Daddy, you can go back anytime.”
Claire asks him to close his eyes, but now he opens them and speaks to her. She gets angry and says,
“it’s none of your business. Go to bed or you won’t be able to sleep tonight!”
Hearing Claire’s threat, Conan reluctantly closes his eyes. After a while he falls asleep.
Claire doesn’t take back her hand until Conan falls asleep. She looks at the ceiling and smiles bitterly
at the same time.
Conan must not know that his daddy is lying in the hospital now. At this time he naively said that she
can go back at any time. Claire’s heart aches at the thought of it. Is Leo really going to die?
...
The next day, Claire gets up early, and Conan is still sleeping. Claire doesn’t wake him up. She has to
get up quietly and dress. She washes her face and brushes her teeth and goes downstairs.
When Claire sees Juan eating breakfast on the first floor, she can’t help being curious. She goes over
to ask about Leo.
Juan didn’t seem to have expected Claire to get up so early. He freezes when he sees her. Then he
raises his hand and lets the man who is reporting leave.
Juan looks at Claire and says with a smile, “why don’t you sleep a little longer? You slept late last night.
You must be tired.”
Claire doesn’t care so much. She sits down at the table and shakes her head at Juan. She says
casually, “I’m fine. How’s Leo? Do you have any news?”
Juan picks up the toast. He is a little upset, but he says calmly on the surface, “it’s OK. Leo’s operation
is done. He won’t die.”
“That’s all?” Claire looks at Juan in puzzle and asks, “is there anything more specific, such as how is
Leo’s condition or will this disease affect his future life?”
Claire didn’t sleep well all night because of this last night, so she gets up so early this morning.
Facing Claire’s question, Juan says coldly, “how do I know? I’m not his family. I just know he’s not
dead, I don’t know the rest.”
He is very disdainful.
Claire sighs in her heart. She knows the hatred between Juan and Leo, so she shouldn’t criticize
Juan’s attitude.
Claire gets up uneasily and says to Juan, “Juan, I’d better go to the hospital to see him. If I don’t see
him with my own eyes, I can’t rest assured!”
With that, she wants to go to the door.
“Wait!” Seeing Claire’s move, Juan can’t even eat breakfast. He stops her immediately, “come back. I
can tell you the details.”
Hearing Juan, Claire stops. She turns and asks incredulously, “are you telling the truth?”
“Yes,” Juan says to Claire, stoking his anger and solemnly, “come back and have breakfast.”
Hearing this, Claire has to go back to the table. She picks up a toast and eats it. She takes a sip of milk
and says to Juan, “I’ve finished. Please tell me.”
Juan just finishes eating too, but when he sees Claire only has a little, he is dissatisfied. “You just had a
little. Keep eating. As you eat, I’ll tell you the truth.”
“... All right.” Claire reluctantly picks up a piece of bread and spreads it with cheese and bites it. She
says vaguely to Juan, “now that I’ve eaten it, hurry up.”
Claire cares about Leo. Juan is angry. He doesn’t understand why Leo doesn’t die directly this time.
Doesn’t it mean that the blood clot in his mind will threaten his life?
Leo seems lucky. He had a car accident six years ago but he didn’t die. Now his sequelae doesn’t kill
him! Should he be jealous or let him go?
Juan restrains his discontent and coughs. He tells Claire seriously, “Leo was out of danger this morning
and confirmed to be alive. Now he is resting in the ward. That’s exactly what I just received. Are you
relieved?”
Hearing Juan’s words, Claire lets go of her tension. She has the strength to eat.
Claire smiles and says to Juan, “I’m relieved. If he dies because of me, even if he is my enemy, I don’t
think it’s aboveboard.”
Hearing Claire’s words, Juan raises his eyebrows and jokes, “you know he is your enemy of killing your
father. I thought you’d forgotten.”
Claire can hear Juan laughing at her. She says seriously, “I won’t forget! If Leo is going to die, he has to
die in a way that is worthy of my father. I can’t kill him in a mean way.”
Juan laughs. He looks meaningfully at Claire and seduces her. “Aren’t you really going to work with
me? I have many ways to make him miserable. I’m sure he will never die in this ordinary way.”
Juan’s words are cruel. Claire feels cold behind her. She always knows that Juan hates Leo, but to be
honest, she hasn’t seen Juan be cruel.
Juan is usually a gentleman and gentle. He has his own ideas and principles. Occasionally Juan
reprimands his men. She sees only a moment of indifference. Juan is a boss but he’s back to normal
afterwards.
Claire once asks Juan if he is a Mafia. Juan shakes his head and denies. He says that no matter what
he does, he will not threaten the lives of Claire and Conan. He will protect both of them.
At first, Claire thinks Juan is a gangster, so she is always on guard against him. If Juan doesn’t really
help her mother and son a lot, and treat them as well as her family, Claire will be on guard.
