Claire is still in a negative mood. Conan is worried and is about to cry. He immediately cries and puts
his head on Claire’s lap.
Claire wakes up from what she thinks is a dream. She looks at the crying Conan and holds him in her
arms.
“Conan, I’m fine. You are a man. You can’t cry.”
Claire comforts Conan and wipes Conan’s dirty face with her fingers.
“I thought Mommy ignored me..”
Conan suddenly raises his head and his eyes are no longer wet. He smiles happily.
Claire is speechless. She is cheated by Conan again. She pinches Conan’s nose and says angrily, “I
know you’re not that vulnerable.”
Conan proudly straightens his thin chest and looks like a gorilla. He says, “of course, so Mommy can’t
be vulnerable. I was scared just now.”
“I was just thinking.” Claire smiles reluctantly but her smile is bitter.
“Oh, I see. I thought Mommy was a fool!” Conan chuckles.
Conan is rarely so childish. Claire usually feels warm, but now she knows that Conan is just comforting
her.
She does a lot of things wrong and is cheated by someone she trusts. At last her own son comforts her.
Claire feels happy and sad.
Claire thinks of those things subconsciously again.
Her mind is full of Juan’s words and his anger after the plan was revealed. His despicable behaviors
make Claire sick of him.
What’s more, she is betrayed.
What happened in the past six years when they were in France appears intermittently in her mind.
Juan’s gentleness has become more illusory.
She thought Juan could be a good friend with her.
Claire’s tears roll in her eyes. She used to hold on but now Juan is not in front of her so Claire can’t
stand it.
Conan’s smile hardens. He stands in his seat and pats Claire on the shoulder with his hand and says
calmly, “Mommy, cry if you want. Even if I’m still young, you can rely on me.”
Claire bites her lips and restrains her tears.
“Daddy is not here now. Mommy can cry on my shoulder.”
“Mommy, don’t hold back. Mommy...”
Conan keeps saying. Something in Claire’s heart finally falls to the ground and she grabs Conan by the
shoulder and cries.
Conan holds Claire’s head in his hands and taps it like he’s trying to coax a child. He looks calm and
like an adult.
He can really be relied on.
Claire sobs at first, but then she cries. The taxi driver thinks they are strange but he sees Claire crying.
They have reached their destination but he does not urge them but waits quietly for her.
...
Luke is the most anxious at the moment. Claire left and Conan said a lot of strange things and
complained about him and then he ran away.
Luke doesn’t know what happened now. He vaguely guesses that Claire might have lied to him. She
wants to negotiate with Tracy and is ready to sacrifice herself to save Howard Group.
Luke wants to follow them, but Tracy and Claire and Conan don’t answer his phone. He doesn’t know
where to find them, so he has to stay in the hospital.
Luke is calm but he’s worried right now. There seems to be a prehistoric beast in his chest and it’s
frantically tearing his insides with its claws.
Of course, it’s not just about Claire. In the meantime, someone comes to the hospital.
Now she’s sitting in a chair and blinking. She looks around and occasionally looks scornfully at Leo’s
face. She occasionally looks at the ceiling, the floor or her nails.
Anyway, she looks at everything except Luke.
It’s Kate who bothers Luke.
They talk when Kate comes in and then they are silent. Luke is thinking about Claire and waiting
anxiously. Kate is in a trance and Luke doesn’t know what she is thinking.
But what can a woman with a big chest and no brain think? Am I curious about her? No, I can’t ask
that.
Luke vetoes the opening line.
What should he say?
“Why are you here? Do you want to rest?” Luke slowly walks up to Kate and tilts his head and looks at
Kate.
At this point Kate looks at Luke’s face but she looks disdainful.
“You’re sick.”
“What? No, he’s sick.” Leo points to Leo.
It’s a fact.
Kate frowns and says, “is that all you can say? You said that when I came in an hour ago.”
Luke looks back and nods.
“But you didn’t answer me.” Kate stops looking at Luke, so he sits in a chair and leans against the wall.
He says slowly, “you said you came to see Claire, but I think you want to do something else.”
Kate asks him, “Why are you anxious? You are in a trance. I asked you, but you said nothing.”
Luke rubs his temples with his fingers and says, “I’m waiting for Claire. Something happened, but if I
tell you, you will only worry.”
What should he say?
“Why are you here? Do you want to rest?” Luke slowly walks up to Kate and tilts his head and looks at
Kate.
At this point Kate looks at Luke’s face but she looks disdainful.
“You're sick.”
“What? No, he’s sick.” Leo points to Leo.
It's a fact.
Kate frowns and says, “is that all you can say? You said that when | came in an hour ago.”
Luke looks back and nods.
“But you didn’t answer me.” Kate stops looking at Luke, so he sits in a chair and leans against the wall.
He says slowly, “you said you came to see Claire, but | think you want to do something else.”
Kate asks him, “Why are you anxious? You are in a trance. | asked you, but you said nothing.”
Luke rubs his temples with his fingers and says, “I’m waiting for Claire. Something happened, but if |
tell you, you will only worry.”
