Claire is in a trance now. Although Kate says a lot beside her, she doesn't notice her existence.

Conan is surprised and says, "Aunt Kate, why are you here?"

Then Claire takes a look at Kate and smiles bitterly, but she doesn't speak. Kate doesn't talk anymore and just looks at Claire and worries about her.

Kate was worried that Claire would make fun of Luke and her before, but now she hopes Claire will be in the mood to make fun of her.

Kate sighs and says, "well, I came to see you today. You are not in the mood. I'd better come another day."

Claire nods, "thank you, Kate."

Kate habitually pats Claire on the shoulder and waves, "I'll be uncomfortable if you're so polite." Then she goes out.

Whether it is about Howard Group or Leo, Kate either doesn't understand it or can't manage it. She might as well leave Claire alone.

Luke looks at Kate's back, which he has watched for a long time, and suddenly says, "can I see you out?"

Kate turns around and glances at Luke and says discontentedly, "you're not sincere at all."

"Why do you say that?" Luke regrets that he says it directly. He seems embarrassed. If Kate refuses, it will be even more embarrassing.

Kate frowns and says, "Hey, you playboys should know better about these things. Do you have to ask for my advice? The legendary gentlemanly demeanor is not like this."

Luke thinks he isn't domineering. What's more, gentlemanly manners are not what Kate says. But he doesn't want to fight Kate and walks out with her.

He doesn't say a word when he sends Kate to the hospital gate as usual.

They are really two weirdos.

Claire is sitting in the hospital bed when Luke comes back. She looks at Leo sleeping and thinks. She smiles with relief and frowns.

Luke is still confused. He doesn't know what happened to Claire. Although Claire said there was no accident and Howard Group's crisis was resolved, he is still upset.

If Claire has made an unknown sacrifice secretly, he will suffer if Leo knows later.

So Luke aims at Conan. He comes up to Conan and touches his little head with his hand and asks softly, "you were in a hurry. What's the matter? Why does Claire come back like this?"

Conan is upset to see Claire depressed. And he isn't happy with Luke telling Claire Tracy's phone number. So he shakes his head and ignores Luke.

Luke looks at the silent mother and son and feels anxious. He walks around the ward like an ant on a hot pot.

Conan thinks to himself that Luke usually looks more stable and mature than Daddy, but he is not calm when something happens. Even though most of Howard Group's crises have been resolved, Conan is still worried about whether Luke can complete the ending.

"Uncle Luke, can you stop pacing? You've worn the floor." Conan murmurs discontentedly.

Luke smiles and says, "I thought you are dumb like Claire. Tell me what happened today."

Conan says mercilessly, "Uncle Luke, do you know how a cat died? A cat with nine lives."

It is killed by curiosity. Children all know the rumor.

Luke tries to show the dignity of an adult. He frowns and says coldly, "don't bullshit me, Conan."

Conan despises Luke's threats. He just glances at him and says impatiently, "OK, I'll tell you tomorrow, OK? You will be surprised then."

Conan says positively.

But Luke didn't expect anything to surprise him.

Conan chuckles. In fact, he is going to tell Luke that he is the hacker. Of course, it's not because Conan doesn't intend to continue to hide his strength. No matter who hides his strength, it will always work wonders at the critical moment.

But Conan has exposed Juan's deception and his strength has been exposed in front of Tracy in the conversation with Juan. Conan doesn't think he'll be able to hide it from Luke.

He really wants to see Uncle Luke surprised, which is a pleasure for him.

Conan closes his eyes and rests. If there is no accident, he will be very busy in the next few days. This time Juan almost paralyzes Howard Group, and he has a lot of spies.

He has to find a way to help Luke.

But so far, Conan and Claire have not thought of another possibility. It will make them more headache.

...

Claire sits in front of Leo's bed and doesn't seem to want to leave. In Luke's opinion, she won't stand up until Leo wakes up.

It's horrible for a woman to be stubborn.

Luke says goodbye to Claire and takes Conan home for a rest. Tomorrow morning he will go to the company to solve the rest.

Claire is not in a daze. In her mind, the past flashes in her mind. She thinks of Leo's indifference and occasional kindness and tenderness after she was sold to Leo by her stepmother, as well as their intimacy and countless quarrels.

As these familiar and unfamiliar images continue to appear, Claire feels a sense of melancholy from the past.

Maybe since the moment she saw Leo, everything has changed into a mistake.

Because of the hatred of the previous generation, they tortures and fights with each other. The meaningless hatred makes their life a mess of mud, in which everyone rolls like a walking corpse.

Whether directly or indirectly, Leo is seriously injured in the brain, and Juan also changes his mind and does whatever he can. And Tracy's even crazy.

It's all stupid.
