They eat happily when Claire comes back from shopping, but after a while Claire suddenly feels sick in her stomach. She puts down her lunch box and runs to the bathroom and vomits. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She doesn’t eat much so she is retching. Claire feels as if her stomach has shrunk to the size of her fist. The severe pain leaves her cold and pale. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire washes her face with water after she vomits. She sits beside Kate’s bed in a daze. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“What’s the matter with you?” Kate asks worriedly, “Claire, are you ok?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire waves. She looks at the food aside and says, “you can eat it. Suddenly I have no appetite. I don’t want to eat!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
With that, Claire gets everything Kate needs for hospitalization ready and gets up to leave. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
To leave the hospital, she has to go through Emma’s ward, so Claire is afraid of encountering Leo and being embarrassed by him. So she walks very fast. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Fortunately, she doesn’t run into Leo before leaving the hospital. As she breathes a sigh of relief, she suddenly finds Leo standing beside a parked car on the side of the road. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire is nervous. She subconsciously turns and is about to leave, but Leo stops her. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Leo is standing there. It seems that the whole space is frosted by his existence. Claire’s already bruised body trembles even more. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Are you sure you want to run?” Leo’s cold words hit Claire exactly like an arrow. She can’t get away. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
In that case, she doesn’t have to dodge. Claire clenches her teeth and closes her eyes and walks up to Leo with a wry smile. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Get in.” Leo says coldly. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire is reluctantly led to the car by Leo. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But he doesn’t embarrass her. He just takes her home. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire goes straight to sleep because of a stomach upset. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But in the second half of the night, Claire feels trapped by something. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire suddenly opens her eyes and sees that Leo is pressing on her. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Ah!” Claire screams. She tries to resist, but her resistance makes Leo’s invasion easier. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire has no choice. She forgets that this is Leo’s home, and Leo has the key to any room. Even if she locks the door, he can come in. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Leo’s eyes glow at night. He is like a greedy wolf, which makes Claire feel cold and scared. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It doesn’t make sense whether she obeys or not. Claire is tortured by him for almost a night. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
At last, Claire’s body is almost numb, but Leo refuses to let her go. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The night is long. She is cruelly tortured. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But Claire doesn’t know if she should be happy that she doesn’t die in the end. But she is exhausted to the extreme. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Even so, Claire gets up early. Since Leo doesn’t make her under house arrest or restrict her behavior, she is going to the hospital to accompany Kate. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
As soon as Claire arrives downstairs, she finds that Leo has taken Emma home. Emma lies in Leo’s arms and looks at Claire with pride. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire suddenly feels confused. She doesn’t know what she is feeling or what Leo is thinking. He seems to like Emma but he doesn’t want to let her go. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It’s ridiculous! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It’s not too much to describe Leo in any vicious language. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Fortunately, nothing happens. Claire visits Kate the next day, but when she gets home, she meets Emma. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire accidentally sees a jade pendant around Emma’s neck. And that jade pendant is the same one Lin wore before. It is exactly the same as the one she lost. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
What’s going on? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire is shocked and suddenly thinks there must be something wrong with it. So she stops Emma in a loud voice. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Emma turns impatiently to look at Claire. She says sarcastically, “Mrs. Howard, what’s up?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire ignores Emma’s taunts. She points to jade pendant around Emma’s neck and asks, “how did you get this jade pendant?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire speaks loudly and her reaction is intense. Emma suddenly thinks that does this jade pendant belong to Claire? Really? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Emma suppresses her doubts. First of all, she should hint that this jade pendant belongs to her. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It’s not surprising that there are several identical jade pendants in the world. Thinking about it, Emma calms down. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She looks up and says, “where does it come from? You should ask my ancestors. What’s the matter?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire frowns. She is confused but shakes her head and says, “nothing.” Then she turns and walks away. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Wait a minute, do you have a jade pendant exactly like it?” Emma asks suddenly. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire is also thinking about many of the details of her jade pendant. But Emma says it is from her ancestors, so she just nods and goes upstairs. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Emma is relieved. She looks at the jade pendant angrily. She didn’t expect to get into trouble the first day she puts it on. She is almost exposed. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“What an ominous thing.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Emma looks at the jade pendant. She thinks maybe Claire is the one Leo has been looking for. She’s pretending to be her now. However, Leo, Luke and Claire may not know about it. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Emma doesn’t know exactly what happened between Claire and Leo. Why doesn’t Leo know Claire is the “little wildcat” he’s looking for? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Emma is confused and upset. If she is exposed, she can’t get Leo and will die. Claire will suddenly become strong and step on her feet. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I must not let this happen. No way!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Emma clenches the jade pendant. She makes up her mind to find out the whole story of that day. She has to kill Claire to make sure she is safe. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
