Leo bites his lips and frowns. He looks aside and doesn't seem to want to continue the discussion. "Believe it or not, you need to know that I'm trying to be nice to you. I will not harm you."
"Nonsense!" Claire can't help but scold him. "Leo, get out of here! What qualifications do you have to say these words to me? Why should I believe you? Will you be nice to me? Leo, you're ridiculous!"
Claire is angry so Leo has to be tough. He says to her, "Claire, I know you won't believe what I'm saying now. Believe it or not, you are my woman."
Claire is very disdainful. She turns and doesn't want to see him.
Leo sighs in his heart. He knows he can't ask Claire to forgive him. What he says today is the biggest concession.
Leo calmly stands up and says, "since you don't want me to feed you porridge, you drink it yourself. Don't let yourself starve. I'm going to deal with business."
With that, he turns and leaves.
When Leo leaves, Claire turns her head and looks quietly at the porridge on the bedside cabinet. That porridge and small dishes are her favorite.
But Claire has no expression. After a while, she can only choose to drink it.
She doesn't have to eat, but her baby needs to eat!
Claire looks at this luxurious superior ward. She is very sad. She must get out of here. She must leave Leo and this city.
Claire is so upset that she decides to go out for a walk. She takes the needle off the back of her hand and puts on her coat and leaves the room.
...
When Leo comes back, there is no one in the ward. He panicks immediately. He asks the nurses but no one knows where she has gone.
Claire hasn't recovered yet. She needs rest. Can't she wait to escape from him?
Looking at the empty ward, Leo feels a deep sense of frustration. Once again, he feels the feeling of losing something important. Leo can't help roaring. The nurse next to me is startled.
"Find her! If she's really missing, I'll tear down the hospital!" Leo yells at the nurse. The nurse is frightened and cries. She nods quickly and leaves.
Leo is angry. Many nurses on duty know about it. If the patients in the senior ward are missing, they are responsible. So many nurses are looking for Claire in the hospital.
Finally, a nurse finds Claire in the garden. She invites her back.
Claire is teaching a child to draw on the ground with a branch. The child is also hospitalized because of illness. Claire thinks he is cute and wants to play with him.
They are having a good time when they are interrupted by a nurse. She wants to pull her away.
"What are you doing? Even if you are a nurse, you can't be so rude to the patient!" Claire tries to get rid of the nurse. She finds that she is too weak to struggle with a healthy person.
The nurse seems to be more angry than she is. When Claire struggles, she tells Claire discontentedly, "you're not polite! Why don't you tell the nurse on duty that you come out for a walk? Do you know that your behavior bothers us! Now many people don't work and are looking for you everywhere! Do you know?"
Claire freezes. It's normal for a patient to come out for a walk. She doesn't understand why they are so alarmed and look for her everywhere.
When the nurse takes Claire back to the ward, she gets the answer and knows why they are so nervous. Leo loses his temper in the hospital.
Leo sits angrily by the bed. There is a chair beside his feet. It's obvious that he kicked it angrily.
He looks up at Claire and says coldly, "you're back!"
Claire thinks he's familiar. He's going to lose his temper. She subconsciously backs away and worries about Leo's rage.
"If I don't come back, will you throw a tantrum at the innocent and tear down the hospital?" Claire asks, straightening up.
Leo stands up and walks indifferently to Claire. "Claire, you know I'll worry about you. Why did you leave?"
Claire says scornfully, "will you worry about me?"
Leo holds Claire's chin and forces her to face him. He says angrily, "do you know how worried I was just now? What do you want me to do if you leave me or have an accident?"
Claire freezes. Leo means...
Has he mended his ways?
He killed her father and Bryce and forced her to jump off the building. Has he mended his ways now?
Claire laughs and looks into Leo's black eyes. She feels that he is suppressing his anger.
It's ridiculous!
Claire shakes off Leo's hand and says coldly, "don't try to fool me! I won't be fooled by you. Leo, stop pretending. You killed my dad and Bryce. I will never forgive you. Anyway, we're not married. Sooner or later I will leave you!"
Claire is cold. She won't forget what Leo did to her. She won't forget that he killed her father and Bryce. That hatred is deeply engraved in her soul. She will never forget!
"Don't think about it! I won't let you leave me. Since we are not married, we can get the marriage certificate in a few days!" Leo roars and wants to hold Claire.
