Well, Claire just wants to stay away from Bryce so she thanks him.

To make the atmosphere less awkward, Claire changes the subject. She says in a slightly reproachful tone, "compared to this, you pretended to be dead and didn't tell me. This is the worst."

Bryce smiles and says awkwardly, "it was my fault that I didn't inform you in advance. It was an emergency at that time. I apologize here."

"Do you think I'll let you go?" Claire stares at him and slams Bryce on the shoulder angrily. She says angrily, "it was a car accident! It was death and body. You make me worry in vain! I feel guilty for six years!"

Bryce wants to laugh but holds back. He says solemnly, "OK, it's my fault. I deserve to die. Tell me how you want to punish me. I have no regrets."

When he finishes, Claire can't continue to scold him. Bryce is very kind to her. If she asks for anything more, she is too much.

She can only pretend to say angrily, "compared to this, you live well is the best compensation for me!"

There is nothing more important than life.

Feeling the concern in Claire's words, Bryce stops smiling. He suddenly says seriously, "I will live for you."

Claire knows it is Bryce's promise, but she pretends she can't stand it and shivers.

She is thinking, fool, there are many good women in the world. You don't have to love me all the time.

I'm not worth it!

Bryce smiles. He doesn't want to continue to discuss the topic, so he changes the topic, "by the way, why did you return home this time? Why are you still with Leo? I remember you left six years ago to escape from him."

Claire thinks for a while and tells the truth again. She has said it to several people these days.

Claire tells Bryce that Conan asked her about his dad and he came back to find his dad without permission and why she wanted to go back with him.

Bryce listens and thinks for a while before he understands Claire's words, "you mean you're here with Leo because you suspect he's hiding your son and you're going to find clues from him?"

He is the only one who does not praise her son's intelligence and boldness after listening.

Claire nods and replies, "Yeah, or I don't want to be around that bastard. I hate him very much."

Claire doesn't find out that when she speaks, she is disgusted but a little duplicity.

Bryce is relieved. He says seriously, "don't worry. I'll help you find out about your son. If you don't want to be around Leo, you can leave right away. As long as you are not wronged, I am willing to do anything! Luke and I will help you find your son."

Claire hears Bryce's concerns. She looks at Bryce gratefully and thinks of one thing, "last time I asked Luke and he told me about you. When did you become good friends? Why don't I know?"

Hearing Claire's words, Bryce knows that he has accidentally exposed something. He coughs and says awkwardly, "it's a long story. I met Luke by chance. In a word, he helped me a lot. If he didn't helped me with the car accident six years ago, I wouldn't cheat Leo successfully."

Unfortunately, Leo lost his memory later.

Claire has some regrets in her heart, but she can't help joking, "your characters are very similar. You all love to help others. Ha-ha. I mean you're both very gentle."

Claire's words make Bryce happy as if he has been greatly appreciated. He smiles happily and says, "yes, I'm quite in tune with him."

Then they have a good chat. Claire will not feel embarrassed as long as he doesn't mention his love.

They talk for a long time. It's getting late. Bryce looks at Claire's foot before leaving and can't help but say, "it's going to take a long time for your foot to recover. How about I come to your house these days and bring you something to eat?"

Claire freezes and quickly refuses, "No. I can order. You are busy. I don't want to give you any trouble. I'll be sorry."

Bryce thinks about it and thinks he's really busy these days. He says helplessly, "well, I'll come to see you if I have time."

With that, he stoops and lifts Claire's injured foot to his thigh. He frowns and says, "don't move. I'll rub it for you. So you can recover faster and walk earlier."

Claire stops struggling at Bryce's words. If she recovers slowly, it will delay her search for her son.

So Claire obediently lets Bryce's hand gently rub her feet. From time to time she makes a sound of pain. Every time she makes a sound, Bryce stops and asks if she's OK. The next time he rubs the place, he will unconsciously lighten his strength.

Looking at Bryce, Claire can't help thinking that maybe it's good to have such a considerate and tender boyfriend, but unfortunately, she doesn't love Bryce. She doesn't want to delay his great life.

Bryce rubs Claire's foot. After that he looks at the time and says, "it's too late. You'd better rest early. I'm going back."

"Well, thank you so much today. Without you, I can't think of the consequences." Claire thanks him from the bottom of her heart again and smiles sincerely.

Bryce sighs and knows it's impossible for her not to thank him. He can only reach out and rub Claire's hair and say, "I'll be by your side as long as you need me."
