Claire laughs in her heart when she hears that. Kate doesn’t know Conan’s IQ, so she says that. Claire
thinks Conan and Leo are really like each other. But fortunately, little Conan loves her very much.
But Kate says it to belittle Leo. If Kate hates someone, you can tell from the tone of her voice.
“Yes, but if Leo is really that good, maybe we won’t be the way we are today. After all, that’s life.” Claire
also clenches Kate’s hand, which makes her feel very relieved.
Kate is still serious. She asks earnestly, “Claire, what do you mean now? I feel like you’ve changed
since Leo got sick.”
“I don’t know if you can feel it. When I went into the ward and saw Leo lying in bed, I was really worried
about him. Even I can’t cheat myself.” Claire drops her head.
Kate looks at Claire as if she were looking at someone who was looking for her own death. She shakes
her head and sighs helplessly, as if she is very sorry.
She shakes Claire’s shoulder and says in a loud voice, “Hey, he’s a sick cat now, so it makes you less
alert, isn’t it? Is that why you decided to make up with him?”
When Conan, who is pretending to sleep, hears this, his fingers move a little. If so, he will be happy to
see it.
But Claire explains, “no, you misunderstood. We won’t make up. Maybe I worry about him just because
I get along with him for a long time. After all, it’s also a human life.”
“Sometimes it’s really like that. You wake up at the critical moment. The so-called resentment has no
meaning at all and only makes everyone feel uneasy and hateful. Even you have been implicated many
times because of me.” Claire looks at Kate gratefully.
Kate waves and interrupts, “don’t mention me. So are you going to forgive him? And then?”
“And then? I don’t know...”
Claire doesn’t know what to do. Even if she lets go of her grudge, will Leo still pester her?
Even if Leo doesn’t pester her, the war between Juan and Leo will continue.
Even Tracy will make trouble.
Anyway, now Claire feels like something will happen sooner or later.
In fact, it’s a mess now.
“Even if you forgive him, it won’t help, because Leo is a bad man. He will still pester you. He’s a sick
cat now, but he’s a hungry wolf when he’s awake. So it’s better to leave him alone. You’re looking for
him everywhere.”
“You’re playing with fire!”
Kate rarely says that.
Claire smiles bitterly and says, “I can’t just leave. It proved it six years ago. Revenge is not good for
me. It’s better for everyone to understand each other and live a better life in the future.”
“But you are the only one in the world who has such an idea. That is not enough.” Kate feels Claire is
possessed and wants to pull her back.
“Kate, your words won’t change me. I’ve decided on these things the other day. Many things start with
me, so naturally they end with me.”
“Besides, I have such a lovely son now. I haven’t lost anything. I’m satisfied.” Claire smiles, but her face
is full of determination.
Claire is still Claire, the kind and strong Claire six years ago.
Since Claire says that and is tough, Kate knows she can’t persuade her so she has to give up.
But then they do not speak and the atmosphere in the room suddenly becomes serious.
Then suddenly Luke comes over. He feels something wrong with the atmosphere. He knows they must
have talked about Leo again.
Who else has the magic to make the atmosphere awkward even when he’s not there?
Luke smiles bitterly.
He says to Kate, “it seems that you are not good at comforting people. I guess you don’t think the same
about Leo. Leo is bad, but he doesn’t deserve to die and he’s good to Claire.”
Obviously he says it to Kate.
Kate sneers and says, “what? Did he not force Claire to have an abortion and sell her?”
Kate’s sarcasm embarrasses Luke. After all, Leo is his best friend. He explains with a wry smile, “that
was six years ago. Now Leo is different from before. Although he is tough, he didn’t do anything bad to
Claire.”
Kate glances at Luke and says scornfully, “you rich people just love wearing a mask. Leo is more
cunning and worse than before.”
Luke looks down and complains, “you are unreasonable.”
But he didn’t expect Kate to hear it. She opens her eyes and says to Luke, “what? You’re speaking for
your friend.”
Luke does speak for Leo, but he doesn’t lie. He sees Kate a little angry and he says, “I thought you are
different from other girls, but...”
“Huh? Did I say I was different? You’re too smug.” Kate turns her head and blushes with anger.
Kate, who has always called herself a big sister, is not so shy. Luke is stunned and his eyes drift.
Luke doesn’t know why it makes Kate blush, but he doesn’t want to fight Kate. He just says, “I think
we’d better not talk about Leo. It’s unnecessary to be unhappy. Come on, it’s my fault. I’ll apologize
first.”
Claire, who is watching all this, seems to see something. Neither of them admits that they like each
other, but Luke intentionally shows weakness and Kate blushes, which makes Claire suspect that they
are likely to fall in love.
But Kate doesn’t appreciate it. She sneers and says, “you’re still defending Leo, that bastard.” Then
she turns to Claire and says, “he and the bastard are close friends. He must not be a good man.”
Kate is very impolite. Claire is embarrassed when she hears it. She doesn’t know how to answer for a
while.
Kate is not sensitive. Even if she goes too far, she doesn’t realize it. She even expects Claire to agree.
