In her dream, Claire comes back home, she is tying the apron and going to prepare a meal for Conan.
Although her cooking skill is average, Conan still eats very happily.
Oh, Leo is also here too. He eats the food cooked by Claire with a satisfied expression.
Claire smiles happily, thinking that it is the life she yearns for.
But the beautiful scenery doesn’t last too long. The scene suddenly changes. Leo and Conan are
hanging over a sea of fire. It is a matter of life and death.
That scene makes Claire heartbroken. She tries to get close to them, but she is tied up and couldn't
move.
The other end of the rope is held by Juan. He gently pulls Claire to his side. At the same time, he
orders that throw Leo and Conan into the sea of fire and let their bones die.
“No.”
Claire gives a cry with all her strength. Then she wakes up, opens her eyes and looks around blankly.
This is... Where?
This is a room full of sunshine. The bright light makes Claire unable to open her eyes.
The air is filled with the fragrance of lilies, wantonly attacking Claire 's smell.
Although the room is very warm, but Claire rejects here, and then she wants to leave.
But once Claire 's body moves, she feels a sharp pain.
“If you don't want the wound to crack, don't move.”
The indifferent voice comes from the top of her head. Claire follows the sound, right in the same cold
eyes.
Look at her wearing, she may be a maid.
Maid...
Claire seems to remember something. She asks hoarsely, “Where is it?”
“This is city B.”
B city? How can I be here?
The maid knows that Claire has doubts, but she has no obligation to answer Claire 's questions. Her
task is to take care of Claire and don't let her die.
Licking her chapped lips, Claire wants to ask something more, but the maid turns to leave the room.
“Wait a minute!”
“Why?”
Looking at the impatient look of the maid, Claire turns to the subject and said, “I... have a sore wound.”
This sentence makes the maid unable to avoid. She silently stares at Claire and says, “I'll call the
doctor.”
When the maid leaves, Claire closes her eyes and refreshes herself.
It can be seen that the maid is hostile to her, and it's hard to get words out of the maid's mouth.
In this case, she can only try to contact other people in order to find some clues.
Now, Claire needs to take good care of herself. Don't faint again and waste precious time.
Hearing someone coming in, Claire immediately looks at him.
But the person is not a doctor, it is Juan. The last person Claire wants to see.
Seeing Juan, Claire 's heart sinks.
The memory before the coma comes back. Claire’s face fades away into grey. Her body is shivering
just like a fallen leaf in the autumn wind.
“What’s wrong with you?”
“Where is Leo?”
Juan doesn’t expect that the first thing Claire talks to him when she wakes up is about Leo. He could
not help but pucker his lips and looks disappointed.
Seeing Juan's expression, Claire is in a hurry and asks, “If you dare to hurt Leo, I will never forgive
you!”
“What would you do if I killed him?”
Kill him…
Claire stops. After a long time, she realizes what Juan means.
Is it true or not that Leo was killed by Juan?
Impossible. Leo has the help of Luke and Conan, he just won't be defeated by Juan!
In a short moment, Claire thought a lot, and finally raised her head and met Juan with her burning eyes.
“You just assumed, that is to say. You have not been able to kill Leo.”
“Well, you are not sick yet.” Juan smiles coldly and says, “But even I failed to kill Leo this time, he will
die in my hands in the future.”
“Is it interesting to talk nonsense?” Claire doesn't hide her disdain on the surface and says, “It's you.
Why did you bring me to B city? Did Leo beat you to pieces and make you a lost dog?”
“Even you are sick, you still show no mercy when you speak.” Juan fondles Claire 's cheek tenderly.
“Before you worry about others, you should consider yourself first.”
Claire would like to avoid the touch of Juan, but whenever she moves a little, the pain is severe.
After all, Juan could not bear Claire suffer. He has a lot of taunts to say but finally swallows them back.
He stands up and looks down at Claire. Juan says, “If you want to leave me, you need to take good
care of yourself. If you are half-dead, you can only be my canary forever.”
Claire endures the pain and says, “Don't worry, I will get better soon, and I will come back to Leo's
side!”
“Is that right? Let me see.”
With that, Juan leaves the room.
As soon as Juan left, Claire lost all her strength and nearly fainted.
When she is in a coma, she feels someone come in, check her wound, give herself another shot, and
then leave.
After the medicine was pushed into the body, the pain gradually disappeared, and the sleepiness
came.
Before falling into a dream, Claire was still worried about the Leo’s situation.
She thought that shot would kill her, but she survived. Although with broken body, as long as she is
alive, there is still hope.
Since she is not dead, she will go back to Leo with all her strength!
Her eyes gradually closed. Claire couldn't resist the effect of the medicine and finally lost
consciousness.
...
Outside the window, the grass grows and the Orioles fly. It's a scene of growing spring.
But inside the window, it is dead.
Claire has been awake for four or five days. She can only lie in bed every day and watch the sunrise
and sunset bored.
These days, Claire has no chance to see anyone except the doctor and the maid. Even the doctor and
maid come and go in a hurry. They don't talk to Claire much.
After all, Claire couldn't hold her breath.，she asks, “When can I get up and get out of bed?”
“It depends on Mr. Juan,” says the doctor.
“You are a doctor. You know the patient's situation best. Why do you need to follow Juan’s means?”
“Miss Bennet, you are wrong. You are now a prisoner. Life and death are entirely in the hands of Mr.
Juan, instead of in yours.”
Claire bits her teeth and says angrily, “Then let Juan come to see me.”
In the face of Claire 's unreasonable demands, the doctor ignores them.
“Excuse me, I'm talking to you. Can't you hear me?”
“I'm a doctor, not a microphone.”
“You...”
Before Claire finished, the doctor left with the medicine box.
Looking at the doctor's back angrily, Claire is full of anger.
Asshole, it's worthy of being a member of Juan's staff. It's just as annoying as him!
