The phone rings for a while and Claire is very anxious. She's pale and she's shouting in her heart, Luke! Answer the phone!
Just as the phone is about to automatically hang up, Luke finally answers the phone. He says apologetically, "Claire? I'm sorry. I just..."
"Luke! Come to my house quickly! Leo is suddenly ill! He seems to be in pain! I've made an emergency call! Come to my house quickly!" Claire interrupts Luke before he finishes.
Luke freezes after listening. Then he asks anxiously, "what? How could this happen? Don't worry. I'll go to your house now. Wait for me!"
As Luke says this, he picks up the car key and walks out. He asks Claire to hold the phone and let her talk to Leo constantly and distract him.
Claire sits decisively by the bed and touches Leo's shoulder. She says anxiously, "Leo, look at me! I'm Claire. Can you hear me?"
"No, you should say something to him that he usually cares about and is attractive, or he will ignore what you say!" Luke can't help saying it when he hears Claire.
"I..." Claire freezes at Luke's words. She has to say what he cares about. "What does Leo care about? I don't know!"
Claire is immediately confused. How does she know what Leo cares about? She doesn't know him!
Claire is flustered but Luke is calm. He says positively, "what he cares about most is you! Just tell him something about the two of you!"
Claire is shocked by Luke's words. She subconsciously wants to contradict Luke, but she thinks she shouldn't care about these little details now. Leo seems to explode at any moment, so she hesitates.
Claire recalls what happened to them and what Leo cares about most. What Leo cares about most is...
He likes her? He wants to be with her?
But Claire can't say that in front of Luke. Luke seems to feel Claire's concerns. He says calmly, "I'm driving now and I'll be at your house soon. You can talk to him about what attracts him. I'll hang up first."
Before Claire reacts, Luke hangs up.
Claire hears a busy tone. She puts her phone aside impatiently. Looking at the very painful Leo, Claire is anxious and helpless. She lies next to Leo and puts his head on her chest. She pats him on the back with her other hand and tries to reduce his pain.
But it doesn't work. Leo's pain has not diminished. He seems to be fighting the disease and can't hear Claire. Claire is worried by Leo's trembling body, but she can't do anything.
She can't say those mushy words.
Thinking of Leo's expression of suffering from desire and the expression of suffering at the moment, Claire wants to ease his pain and make him feel better.
Claire has been hesitating. At last she bites her teeth and says, "Leo! You must hold on! You can't be knocked down by illness! Blood clots are nothing! You've always been in high spirits! These are nothing!"
Claire's words seem to have gone with the wind. Leo doesn't listen at all. He gradually stops shaking and his hands covering his head drop weakly.
Claire thinks Leo listens to her, but when she looks down, she sees that Leo is pale and frowns. He seems to faint at any time!
Claire is worried and decides to try. She can lie to him!
She yells at Leo, "Leo! Listen! I promise you! As long as you hold on, I'll be with you after you and Tracy break up! You can do whatever you want!"
"I'll just say that once. You must hold on! If you die, what I just said doesn't count!"
Claire stares anxiously at Leo's expression. He looks relaxed and his pain is less. Claire is relieved.
But the ambulance hasn't arrived yet, so she's still worried. She looks at Leo and keeps saying, "if you hold on, we can go out and play like we did in City B. You can teach me how to swim. We can go eat delicious food..."
Claire keeps talking to Leo. It seems to work. Leo no longer looks miserable. But a few minutes later Leo closes his eyes and stops making a sound.
Claire is stunned by Leo's reaction. She thinks Leo can't hold on and is dying. She bursts into tears.
"Leo! Don't die!" Claire can't help shouting. She has been crying and is very sad.
Just then the ambulance arrives. The doctor and nurse carry the stretcher and quickly come to the bedside. They put Leo on that stretcher and carry it away quickly.
Claire has been crying. She grabs the doctor's hand and begs, "doctor! Please help him! He's dying! Please!"
The doctor gives her a reassuring look. He pushes away her hand and checks Leo's condition. A nurse says to Claire, "are you a family member of the patient? Please come to the hospital with us."
With that, she walks out quickly.
Claire seems to have hope. She wipes her tears and quickly follows them out.
Claire is worried. She doesn't notice that she is panicked by Leo's illness.
When Claire gets downstairs, Luke just arrives in his car. He strides to Claire and asks her. Claire is pale and shakes her head. She says weakly, "let's go to the hospital first."
