Jade’s greed shocks her! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire is thinking that if Jade shows up in front of her right now, she will kill her! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Claire! Are you ok?” Luke reaches out to Claire with concern. He thinks she is shocked by the revelation of her secret. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire pushes Luke’s hand away and smiles in disguise, “I’m fine.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Luke says uneasily, “don’t worry. I’ll definitely ask your advice before I decide whether to tell Leo about it. After all, it’s your own secret. If you don’t want to say it, I will respect you.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire shakes her head and says, “it’s OK. I’ve already told him. I don’t care if he believes it or not. I don’t need his trust now.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I have evidence now that you are the little wild cat.” Luke says anxiously. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Hearing this, Claire looks up at Luke. After a while she smiles confidently, “do you think I need Leo’s trust now? Do you think I want to be his wife?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“What do you mean?” Luke can’t understand. He looks at Claire suspiciously. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Maybe Luke doesn’t know the fact that Leo isn’t married to her. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire thinks, but she says easily, “it doesn’t matter. Luke, just remember that Leo and I are enemies from now on! I will never forgive him for what he did to me!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Hearing this, Luke is lost in thought. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
After a while he looks at Claire thoughtfully. He tries to defend Leo, “but Leo has changed a lot for you now. Can’t you try to forgive him? After all, the past has passed. Living in the past will only make you more miserable.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Though the past has passed, it has happened!” Claire suddenly sits up. She throws the pillow behind her on the ground and stares at Luke angrily, “how can I pretend not to care! How can I forget and forgive? Bryce and my father are dead. I’ll never forgive Leo!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Calm down!” In the face of Claire’s sudden anger, Luke is a little unprepared. He stands up to comfort Claire, but she is more angry. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Luke! Don’t talk about him in front of me!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I hate him! I will never forgive Leo until I die!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire is getting angry. At last she seems to think of something. She pulls up her sleeve and shows Luke her arm. “Look! This scar on my arm is what he left when he bullied me! And this, this…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire suddenly turns pale. She bends down to cover her stomach. She groans in pain. “My stomach hurts.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Luke is relieved just now, but her voice scares Luke to call the doctor in a hurry. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Doctors and nurses come quickly. The doctor is inside to check on Claire. Luke is pushed out of the ward by a nurse. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Luke is waiting anxiously. He keeps blaming himself. He knows Claire hates Leo, but he wants to defend his friend. If something happens to Claire and the baby, Leo won’t let him go! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Fortunately, the doctor comes out soon this time. Luke is eager to go in and see Claire’s condition, but he is stopped by the doctor outside the ward. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Don’t go in now. She needs a rest.” The doctor says in a reproachful tone, “I told you many times not to provoke her. It’s extremely bad for the baby in her stomach! Do you want her baby to die?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The doctor says it very seriously. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Luke quickly bows his head to admit his mistake. It’s his fault. He knows Claire is in hospital but he makes her face it. Luke understands that his behavior is just fueling the fire. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Luke is sincere. The doctor says regretfully, “it’s a pity that after the final examination today, if the fetus is OK, she can go home for rest. I didn’t expect anything to happen to her again.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Then the doctor leaves. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Luke stands awkwardly outside the ward. He thinks for a long time and calls Leo. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
After all, Leo is the father of the baby. He has the right to know his baby’s safety, although he doesn’t know the truth yet. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Leo comes running in a hurry with a shopping bag in his hand. It should be something for Claire. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Seeing this, Luke can’t help joking, “you’re busy but you come to the hospital every day. Why don’t you get a nanny to look after Claire? You don’t know how to look after pregnant women.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I like it.” Before Leo can breathe, he asks, “is she OK?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“She’s OK. The doctor said she is a little emotional, so the baby in her abdomen is unstable. Just pay attention later.” Luke explains lightly. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Hearing this, Leo glances at Luke and doesn’t mean to blame him. He just nods. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He trusts Luke. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Luke knows Leo trusts him so he doesn’t know what to say for a while. He thinks whether to tell him that Clair is the little wild cat. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But he thinks about Leo’s character. If he knows the truth, he will be very nice to Claire because of guilt. He may act aggressively to get her forgiveness. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
According to Claire’s reaction to Leo, telling the truth at the moment will only make things worse. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Luke sighs in his heart. He decides not to tell the truth until things get better. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Leo is wearing a black suit under the corridor light. He is supposed to be serious and cold, but now he is carrying a shopping bag in his hand and looking into the ward. Luke is really sorry for their feelings. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
