"Claire, how are you?" Kate deserves to be her only good friend. The first thing she says is to ask her how she is doing.

Claire is moved, but she says easily, "Kate, I'm fine. Why do you call me?"

Kate seems to be hesitant. After a long time she says slowly, "Bryce will be sent to the crematorium tomorrow. I want to see him for the last time today. I want to ask you if you want to come with me."

When it comes to Bryce, Claire chokes. She pretends to be calm. "OK, I'll go with you now."

"Well, I'll wait for you in the old place."

Claire hangs up and looks at the packed room and the suitcase at the door and sighs. She has to wait until she came back. If she goes straight with her suitcase, Kate will worry about her.

After meeting in the old place, they go to the hospital by car.

They come to the morgue. The doctor pulls Bryce's body out of the freezer. When Claire sees Bryce's body, she can't help holding Kate and crying.

The man who was alive in front of you the other day is now a body without temperature and he can never stand up. He will not appear in your life from now on.

He can't share your happiness and sorrow. It's all gone.

Only experienced people will understand that kind of pain.

And this pain is brought to her by Leo. She hates Leo!

"Well, Claire, stop crying. If you cry any more, I want to cry too." Bryce is always cheerful. She can't help feeling sad now.

Although she and Bryce are not so familiar, they are also friends. In addition, Claire's crying makes people cry.

At last they cry together.

They don't stop crying until the doctor asks them out.

After leaving the morgue, Kate keeps persuading her, "Claire, you need to be strong. He can't come back to life. We need to live a good life for Bryce. This is the biggest reward for him!"

"I know everything you say. Kate, thank you. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have come alone to see Bryce for the last time." Claire holds Kate's hands. She is her only good friend. She has to protect her anyway.

"I dare not come myself. Bryce is our friend. Of course we need to see him for the last time." Kate suddenly thinks of an important thing, "you'd better leave Leo as soon as possible. He has no humanity. He killed the innocent Bryce. He may be cruel to you in the future!"

Claire just told Kate about Bryce's death. Kate is very angry. She looks at Claire seriously. She decides to let Claire leave Leo anyway.

Hearing this, Claire suddenly remembers that Bryce has warned her so many times before. He told her to leave Leo, but she didn't listen to him.

Now she knows how stupid she was. If she has listened to Bryce earlier, he would not have died.

She's responsible for Bryce's death!

Claire takes a deep breath. Now she can't blame herself. In order not to let Kate worry about her, she can only say what she thinks, "in fact, I packed my bags before you called me. If you didn't call me, I would have left Leo's house."

"Really?" Kate is excited. She grabs Claire's hand and says, "you're finally determined to leave Leo! I thought it is difficult to persuade you. Hurry up and get your luggage and move to my house!"

Claire smiles grudgingly. It's too late. Bryce is dead.

They have come to the gate of the hospital. Just as Kate tells Claire to go back to pick up her luggage, the window of a car beside the road suddenly drops. There is a cold face in it.

Claire and Kate are shocked. When they see the man in the car, they are very angry.

Leo is not in a good mood either. He stares at Claire and says coldly, "Claire, do you want to leave me? Stop dreaming. You are my wife. Don't want to leave me for the rest of your life!"

Before Claire can speak, Kate stands in front of her and yells at Leo, "Mr. Howard! It's the 21st century. Everyone is free! In today's society, marriage is free. You can't decide!"

In the face of Kate's roar, Leo turns a blind eye. He bypasses Kate and looks at Claire directly. He says in a nonchalant voice, "is she the one who hurt Emma for you?"

Claire is pale. She immediately understands what Leo means. He wants to threaten her with Kate!

Emma bullied Claire so Kate hit Emma. After such a long time, she didn't expect Leo to remember it!

Leo taught Kate a lesson, but he suspected that Bryce killed Emma, so he killed Bryce. Now Emma is dead. Leo may have hurt Kate who hurt Emma.

Claire's body becomes cold. No! She's lost Bryce. She can't lose Kate, her only good friend! Just now she vowed to protect Kate. She must not let Leo hurt Kate!

Kate tries to argue, but Claire stops her. She says quietly, "Kate, stop talking."

Kate looks back at Claire in shock. She doesn't know why she is suddenly weak, "Claire!"

Claire's face is cold. She looks down at the ground. She doesn't dare to face Kate who is angry.

Leo knows she knows him. He asks the driver to take her to the car. Kate is left in place.

They return to the villa. Leo throws Claire on the bed. He has sex with her.

But Claire's lethargy makes Leo bored. He stops and stares at her and says angrily, "Claire, don't try to leave me! You killed Emma. I won't let you go! I will torture you to death!"

Emma...

Claire sneers. She stares at the ceiling and laughs, "Leo, you care so much about Emma. Isn't it because of the night in the hotel? But Leo, do you care about Emma or the night in the hotel? Stupid, ha ha."

Claire laughs wildly.

Leo thinks she is crazy. He throws her aside and leaves the room.

Mad woman!
