Leo comes out of the ward just in time to meet Luke. He leaves it to him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Luke comes in with a puzzled face, and when he sees Claire sitting in bed sulking, he can’t help feeling like a peacemaker. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It’s like a fight between a couple. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But at the thought of his purpose, Luke becomes serious. He sits by the bed and looks at the porridge. He asks her, “don’t you have breakfast?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I have no appetite.” Claire says angrily. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Luke looks at Claire and thinks about last night. He can not help but sigh in his heart. He asks directly, “Claire, do you know Ray?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Ray?” Claire hears the name for the first time. She is a little curious, “who is he?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Don’t you really know him? Didn’t Leo tell you about last night?” Luke is surprised by Claire’s answer. Claire is confused. He seems to realize that he has said something he shouldn’t have said. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“What happened last night?” Claire is thrilled to hear Luke. She looks at Luke and expects him to say what happened last night. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She asks Leo for a long time but he doesn’t tell her. Luke is very nice to her so he will tell her. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Maybe she will know why Leo suddenly lets Michelle go back. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Luke is helpless and has to tell Claire about last night. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Luke doesn’t say Ray wanted to rape Claire. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“That’s it. Ray was the one who tried to rape you last night. You sleep from last night until this morning. Is there anything wrong with your health?” Luke finishes and looks at Claire with concern. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But Claire thinks it is incredible. She was almost raped last night! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Luke, thank you so much. You saved me every time. I don’t know how to repay you!” Claire looks at Luke gratefully and doesn’t know what to say. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Although Luke’s description is very simple, Claire realizes the thrill of last night. After all, the protagonist is herself! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“It doesn’t matter. I’m your friend. I should do that.” Luke smiles and says casually. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Don’t be modest!” Claire punches Luke in the arm and laughs, “thanks, man!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Luke is like a buddy or a considerate brother to Claire. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire really wants to thank Luke from the bottom of her heart. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
One thing comes to Claire’s mind. She looks at Luke and seriously asks, “by the way, do you know why Michelle was suddenly transferred by Leo? Is something wrong?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Luke didn’t say anything about Michelle just now. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
After hearing Michelle’s name, Luke is puzzled for a while before he realizes who Claire is talking about. After thinking about it, he murmurs, “maybe because Leo doesn’t think she cares for you so Ray has a chance.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Michelle cares more about me than Leo!” Claire yells in defense of Michelle. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Hearing Claire’s words, Luke can’t help chuckling. Claire laughs awkwardly. “I’m serious!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Well, I know.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Luke’s smile suddenly turns bitter. He looks at Claire and he’s a little sad. “I hope you can tell me one thing.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire is enjoying Luke’s care. She says directly, “OK, no matter what you ask, I’ll tell you the truth.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire’s directness makes Luke more silent. He ponders for a while and looks at Claire with his dark eyes. He says firmly, “on the night of July 8th, the woman sleeping with Leo in the hotel is you, right?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He is asking her, but he is quite sure. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Hearing this, Claire’s face changes. She looks away uneasily and says awkwardly, “Luke, I don’t know what you’re talking about.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Claire, you don’t have to pretend in front of me.” Luke says in a distressed voice, “I know everything. I investigated everything about you.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire’s heart pounds. She looks at Luke in surprise and asks incredulously, “what do you know?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Luke takes a deep breath and sits up straight. “I know everything. For example, on July 8, you were in the hotel, who is the father of your baby and you are the little wild cat.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire is embarrassed. She listens quietly to Luke. She doesn’t understand. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She knows these things. She was ready to be exposed by Luke yesterday. But she doesn’t understand what he means when he says jade wanted to sell her virginity! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She finds out again that Jade has set her up! Claire is cold and her body is shivering. She wants to tear Jade’s vicious face! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
This woman has been hurting her! Claire is sick! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire is pale. Luke thinks she is shocked, so he comforts her. “Claire, don’t worry. I haven’t told Leo about it yet. I want to confirm your idea. If you don’t want Leo to know, I can help you hide it from him!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire doesn’t care if Leo knows. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire lies powerless in bed. She is disgusted at Jade’s viciousness. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Jade threatened her to marry Leo with her father. But she didn’t expect that Jade didn’t want her to marry Leo at all. She just used her as a tool to make money. She sold her to Leo as a slave! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
At that time, Claire hated Leo and thought jade was disgusting! She doesn’t know until today that the woman is more disgusting than she thinks! She wanted to sell her virginity a long time ago! <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
