Pushing the door into Ashley's room, Claire finds that she has sits up and is looking out of the window.
"Awake?"
"Um."
"Come and have a bowl of soup."
"Soup again?" Ashley is afraid of the appearance, says, "I eat or sleep every day, will become a sow. When I get back to headquarters, I don't think they will recognize me."
"You are seriously injured and should take good care of yourself. It's nothing to be fat at all. It's good that Black doesn't dislike you."
When it comes to Black, Claire can't help looking at the people behind her.
Seeing Claire staring at himself, Conan smiles gracefully.
Ashley looks like nothing. She smiles and greets Conan.
"Are you Conan? It's the first time we've met."
"In fact, I have seen you, but at that time you were seriously injured and passed out."
"It's a pity that I doesn't remember my first meeting with you."
Conan thinks this is a bit awkward, but on the surface, he doesn't pay attention to it. He smiles and says, "Actually, I haven't had a chance to thank aunt Ashley. When Mommy was in MG company, she was always under the care of aunt Ashley."
"You're welcome. Your Mommy is a very good woman. She deserves to be treated by others."
Seeing these people start talking about herself, Claire interrupts them and says, "Hey, you are not welcome. I don't like it."
"We are praise you, please don't be upset."
"That is, Mommy, you can have such a good friend as Auntie Ashley and it can improve Mommy's intelligence."
Although she is teased, Claire's smile is warm when he sees that Conan has a harmonious relationship with Ashley.
"I'm glad you get along well."
"Why can't we get along?"
"Because..."
The words does not finish, Claire then stops and silent.
What else? It's because Conan imprisons Black.
Seeing Claire's eyes twinkling, Conan says clearly, "Don't worry, Black is very good now, we are just exchange technology, we are like-minded friends."
"Since you are friend, why can't he contact the outside world?"
"I let him go, but he doesn't want to go. Black says that he wants to crack the code I set and he work hard all day. He doesn't see anyone yet, he says there needs to be a quiet environment to concentrate on thinking."
Conan's expression is sincere. Even if it's a lie off, it seems to be true.
To this, Ashley smiles, does not care to go on.
"Well, stop talking, have soup, have soup."
From Ashley, Claire grabs Conan and asks, "Conan, tell Mommy the truth, is it Black who doesn't want to go or you don't let him go?"
"We won't let him go." Conan is frank and says, "But this is to protect him. Mommy, you think, if Black falls on Juan's hand, Juan can threaten Ashley and make her obedient. Ashley is a patient now, so it's not appropriate to think about it. So we should consider these things."
Squinting at Conan, Claire asks, "Is it so simple?"
"It's so simple. Why else? Mommy, you're back now. We don't have to deal with Ashley and Black. It's not good for us. Are you think it right?"
"That's right." Claire's nerves have been breaking up recently. She will think about some things. It's very possible that she really misunderstands Conan.
Rubbing her temples, Claire says, "Sometimes Mommy doesn't think about it. Thanks for your help."
This makes Conan feel guilty and says with a smile, "I'm your son. Of course, I have to help Mommy share your worries."
Bending over Conan's forehead and giving a kiss, Claire says, "You are really Mommy's good son."
Conan's smile is cute, but where Claire can't see it, the smile disappears a little bit.
The next day, Claire goes to visit Ashley again. They sit by the window. Claire cuts the fruit for her.
Leaning on the back of the chair, Ashley s wrapped in a blanket and looks lazy.
"Claire, let's discuss something with you."
"You say."
"I'm much better and you don't need to accompany me every day. Let's have a look. Don't think I don't know. The kid is actually trying to spend more time with you. The child's pitiful little eyes are pitiful to me. I don't know why you can neglect it."
"It's not as exaggerated as you says, but it's true that I'm ignoring Conan. If I'm not so busy for a few days, I'll take Conan out for a walk and relax."
"You are not busy now. You can go now."
"No, I can't. I need to take care of you here."
Reaching for an apple, Ashley says, "I know what you are worried about. After what happened before, Leo will not dare to calculate me again, so you can put your heart into your stomach."
"But..."
"Don't say anymore, do you have the heart to see Conan unhappy? Don't worry. I'm almost recovered. I can walk by myself."
Although Ashley makes a guarantee, Claire still felt insecure.
"Oh, I'm a policeman, don't treat me as a lamb," said Ashley, frowning at Claire's hesitation. "It's settled. If you don't listen, I'll hunger strike until you promise!"
Saying, Ashley put Apple back, looks serious.
"Well, I'll go back and think about what I can do recently."
"Considering what, the cherry blossoms are blooming outside. It's best to step on the green. Don't perfunctory me, you must act quickly, you know?"
"Oh, I see. I'll make a feasible plan when I go back and then I'll show it to you. How about that?"
"You'll have to be quiet."
The two women look at each other and smile, but they thought about their own affairs.
...
Although Ashley has her plan, she is right. Claire really needs to take some time to go out with Conan.
Now that she has an idea, Claire doesn't plan to delay her time either. She comes out of Ashley and goes to Conan directly.
"Conan, are you busy recently?"
Conan is making a model of drum. Seeing Claire, he has no choice but to smile.
"Mommy, I should ask you that. It seems that Mommy is busier than me."
Embarrassed smile, Claire says, "Mommy has time these two days, I want to ask you that if you want to go out to play."
"Really, Mommy, are you kidding?"
"There's nothing to be joking about, of course, it's true."
"Yeah, great!"
