Because the last time Claire saw her meet Juan, this time Emma has a new place. It’s still a box in a cafe. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Juan has been waiting in the box. Emma looks sexy as usual, but Juan still doesn’t care about her. She can’t seduce Juan. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Emma shrugs and tells him everything about jade pendant. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Juan is shocked and he didn’t expect such a story. He thinks for a while and then has an idea. He says to Emma, “I’ll help you find out. Luke has been investigating it. In that case, I will investigate him. It’s a lot easier than investigating Leo. Don’t act rashly!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“OK!” Emma nods. “Thank you. I’ve almost finished what you asked me to do. I believe there will be an outcome soon!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“That’s the best!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Juan smiles and his eyes are smug. He wants Claire! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Emma and Juan talk for a while and leave. She goes back to the villa before Leo goes back, but Leo finds out at a glance that she doesn’t wear the jade pendant. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“What’s the matter? Have you lost it again?” Leo holds Emma in his arms and they sit on the sofa together. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Leo frowns and touches Emma’s delicate collar bone with his fingers. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Instead of resisting, Emma sits up straight. She smiles and says, “I’m afraid I’ll lose it again. You picked it up last time. If someone else picks it up, they won’t give it back to me.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Leo takes a puzzled look at Emma. This jade pendant may be a heirloom. It’s strange that she puts it away instead of wearing it. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Emma seems to notice the doubt in Leo’s eyes. She says with a smile, “I’m going to exchange this ancestral jade pendant for your wedding ring, so I have to take good care of it now.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Leo nods thoughtfully. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Emma thinks they can’t go on talking about it, so she suddenly changes the subject. “By the way, are you going to marry me? Although you are really good to me, I am just a mistress now.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“You have to give me a status!” Emma stresses. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Leo is annoyed that Emma mentions it, but he doesn’t show it. He looks at Emma’s expectant eyes and says, “I’ll do it sooner or later, but not now.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Emma says, “why don’t you divorce Claire even if she did that. What am I?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Leo looks at Emma and thinks. He tortures Claire. If he wants to marry Emma, he should divorce Claire. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But Leo is reluctant. He doesn’t know whether he is reluctant to give up such a good toy or whether he doesn’t want to be separated from her. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Leo doesn’t know, so he is silent. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Emma knows Leo, so she doesn’t go on asking him and she doesn’t lose her temper. She just wants Leo to stop paying attention to the jade pendant. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
As long as Juan helps her, she’ll be Mrs. Howard sooner or later. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Emma has a smile that Leo can’t even detect. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
… <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire returns from the hospital to her bedroom. She feels tired and sicker. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire doesn’t know what’s wrong with her body. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire feels dizzy as soon as she enters the bathroom. She closes her eyes and falls to the ground. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, Claire’s head hits the bathroom wall when she falls. She has a gash in the head. She’s bleeding but now she’s unconscious. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The passing maid hears a loud noise in the room. She wonders if something has happened. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
No one opens the door after the maid knocks, so she goes in. She immediately finds Claire in the bathroom. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire falls in the blood. The blood dyes her face red. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The maid panicks. She immediately calls for someone to carry Claire downstairs and she tells Leo. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Emma says coldly to the maid, “you can bandage her. Why are you so alarmed?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Leo goes to the maid. He looks at Claire’s forehead injury and takes Claire from the maid. He ignores Emma’s jealous eyes and goes out. He drives her to the hospital. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire is seriously injured this time. If she comes to the hospital late, she may die. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Even so, the operation time is not long. Leo is waiting outside during the rescue. It isn’t until Claire is out of danger and back in bed that he feels relaxed. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Leo doesn’t understand why he is worried about Claire. Is he really a psychopath like Claire says? Why does he worry about her? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
After Claire’s treatment, the doctor talks to Leo about the details of the rescue. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire is very weak. She’s been overworked recently and suffering too much mentally and physically. She doesn’t get enough nutrition, so she fainted. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Her head hit the wall and she lost too much blood. She almost died. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
These situations are no longer important after the operation. In addition, the doctor tells Leo an incredible news. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Your wife is pregnant!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Leo is sitting next to Claire’s bed, and the words of the doctor are still in his mind. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When Claire wakes up, Leo smiles but says sarcastically, “you’re so stupid that I can’t believe it. You fell in the bathroom. You know what? You almost died!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire frowns and says weakly, “I don’t know what happened recently. I’m very weak and I always want to vomit. I think I’m going to die!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Leo is angry. He immediately orders her, “you must live well from today on!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
