Claire's words make Jade shiver. Now Claire is a bully. She is determined to trample on Jade's soul and dignity.
When Claire finishes, she slaps Jade hard!
"This slap is for myself! I didn't expect you to have wanted to sell my virginity. Ha ha, you didn't succeed, so you sold me to Leo. Are you happy when you spend the money you made by selling me? Do you sleep well every night?"
"I..." Jade has been slapped and dizzy. She wants to say something but she doesn't know how to say it.
Claire slaps her in the face twice and shakes her hand. She orders the two bodyguards, "hit her! I want her to kneel in front of me and kowtow for mercy!"
Claire is cold. At last she is able to vent her resentment.
She's been putting up with Jade, this disgusting woman, for years!
The two bodyguards know Leo likes Claire so they don't hesitate. One puts Jade's hands behind her, the other comes up to her and raises his strong arm to hit Jade's heavily make up face.
"Ah!" Jade's screams echo in the ward. It's so harsh that people can't help getting goose bumps.
However, Claire just watches Jade kneel in front of her and scream. She has said that Jade must pay for what she did.
She's just keeping her word.
Jade has not been humiliated, let alone begged for mercy. She doesn't even want to bow to her Claire and apologize!
Jade grits his teeth. She would rather be beaten than beg Claire for mercy.
Soon, Jade's cheek is bruised. She has been swearing. She curses Claire. She calls Claire a bitch.
Her scolding is irritating.
Claire is trying to shut her up when Leo, who is quiet for a long time, suddenly takes her hand and walks out.
Claire frowns, but she doesn't say no to Leo. After all, she is tired of listening to Jade's shrill voice.
When they reach the door, Leo lets go of her hand. He turns to Claire and asks in an uncertain voice, "did you just say that Jade sold your virginity to someone else?"
Claire means she was a virgin before she came to his house, but later he found out she was not a virgin.
What's going on?
Leo thinks there is only one possibility. Jade was so greedy that she sold it twice. Claire is no longer a virgin when she is with him.
It is logical, but he is upset, so he asks Claire.
Claire is addicted to the pleasure of revenge on Jade. Her heart thumps when she hears Leo. She just scolded jade, but she forgot that Leo was by her side!
"I..." Claire is thinking about how to explain it to Leo. Finally, Claire says, "yes, as you said, Jade sold my virginity to other man. Now you know why I hate her so much. Are you going to let her go easily?"
It's not about that.
Leo shakes his head. He looks at Claire and says guiltily, "I'm sorry, Claire. It turns out that I misunderstood you all the time. I thought you had something to do with Bryce. I thought the baby in your stomach was his."
Leo suddenly can't go on. He has always misunderstood her as a slut!
At the moment, Leo's mood is very complicated. Whether he misunderstood Claire or not, it's true that Claire's virginity was not given to him. It's also true that Claire's baby is not his.
Leo suddenly doesn't know how to deal with Claire. After Claire is hospitalized, he plans not to care who the baby's father is. As long as Claire doesn't run away by suicide.
But now he knows Claire's virginity has been sold and she may have been raped. He doesn't know what to do.
He feels guilty. He hates that he can't protect Claire. All kinds of emotions occupy his mind.
Claire can't feel Leo's complex emotions. She just looks away and says casually, "it's OK. It's all over. It's none of your business."
Claire's heart beats a lot faster as she speaks. After all, she's lying to Leo. She doesn't want to tell him about that night.
Leo thinks Claire is pretending not to care, so he feels more guilty. He can't help but hold Claire in his arms. He puts his head on her shoulder and whispers, "I'm sorry. I misunderstood you. I didn't protect you."
Is that what he thinks?
Claire shivers a little. Her cold heart seems to be infused with something warm. She feels at ease.
Claire doesn't push Leo away. Leo puts his hot face on her neck. There is a tear in the corner of his eye.
Is Leo crying?
For a while, Claire's throat seems to be stuck with something, and she wants to say something but can't.
They hug each other quietly in the corridor. They hug for a long time regardless of the eyes of the people around them.
Luke just walks to Claire's ward and sees it. He can't help smiling. He thinks he can finally tell Leo the secret that Claire is the little wild cat.
...
That night, Luke invites Leo out for dinner and wants to talk about it.
"Why do you suddenly want to invite me to dinner?" Leo sits down and casually asks Luke.
And Luke easily lifts the document bag in his hand. He says ostentatiously, "I have found out who is the little wild cat. Do you want to see it?"
"Really?" Hearing this, Leo's eyes brighten and he can' help getting excited. But the next second, his eyes suddenly dim. He says dejectedly, "I don't want to see it. Forget it."
