Leo ignores the familiar feeling in his heart. Pressing her chest can’t wake her up, so he lowers his head and gives Claire artificial respiration. He repeats these two rescue actions. Claire spits the water out of her mouth.
Leo stops. At this time, someone finds something wrong here and rushes over. When he sees the situation clearly, he quickly takes out his cell phone and calls the emergency number.
“...”
When Claire opens her eyes again, she smells the pungent disinfectant. This is the smell of hospitals.
Is she not dead?
Claire recalls the feeling of dying before she fainted. Now it’s a good feeling to be reborn. Claire suddenly feels that it is good to be alive. As long as she is alive, it is a very happy thing.
Claire suddenly remembers the crazy young woman and the child before she fainted.
Where is the child?
Claire sits up from bed and looks around anxiously. She wants to find the child!
Is he still alive? Did she save him?
Claire can’t find the child in the room so she wants to take the needle off her hand and get out of bed.
Just then, the door of the ward is opened from the outside. Leo comes in and sees Claire trying to pull the needle from her wrist. He stops her immediately, “Claire! What are you doing!”
With that, he takes the porridge in his hand and rushes over. He puts the porridge down at will and stops Claire. He frowns and looks at Claire. “You don’t wake up easily. Why don’t you lie in bed? Where are you going?”
“Where is the child?” Claire ignores Leo. She grabs Leo’s arm anxiously and asks in a panic, “is the child still alive? Where is he?”
Leo thinks of Claire holding the child while she was drowning. He hesitates and says dejectedly, “that child may die. The doctor said he drank too much water. If he is not rescued in time... I only know it. Now the doctor is still trying to save him. Maybe he still has hope to live.”
Leo’s words are like a blow to Claire’s head. She looks at the door in disbelief and mumbles, “how could this happen?”
Claire loses her mind for a while. She suddenly thinks of something. She holds Leo’s hand tightly and begs him, “Leo, please help me to ask how the child is now!”
“I...” Leo frowns and doesn’t seem to want to go. Other people’s business has nothing to do with him.
But after Claire’s repeated entreaties, Leo has no choice but to touch her head and whisper, “OK, I’ll go. You have to make sure you’re lying in bed and not going out, you know?”
“OK.” Claire nods quickly.
Leo tells her to go back to bed and have porridge. He is relieved and leaves the ward.
After Leo leaves, Claire lies in bed and thinks. This time Leo saved her again.
No, to be exact, Leo has really changed a lot.
All of a sudden, Claire thinks selfishly that it will be nice if Leo lost his memory all the time. He had better not remember what happened to them and keep it.
Claire prays to God in secret.
But what she doesn’t know is that not only does Leo change, but also her own mentality gradually changes.
Claire has a day off at the hospital. The next day she returns to the hotel. The original trip is delayed for a day because of Claire’s sudden hospitalization.
The next afternoon, Claire follows Leo to discuss cooperation projects.
This time Leo wants to develop the company’s projects into the tourism industry here. This time the partner is the boss of the local tourist. For this business, Leo brings Claire over to negotiate.
When they come to the head office, Leo and Claire think the head of the company will receive them. But they didn’t expect that a beautiful girl with good figure receives them!
She looks about twenty-two. Her lips are red and she is tall. She is wearing tight black leather. Her brown curls are scattered behind her. Her walking posture is confident and bold.
She smiles when she sees Leo. She walks up to Leo like a strong woman and reaches out to greet him politely. “Hello Leo. My name is Fiona.”

The readers' comments on the novel: Genius Son Sells his Mom to Dad
The storyline could have been better -- organization and cohesion of episodes could stand improvement, ending could have been more definitive resolving the many conflicts between the protagonists. Of course, the despicable treatment of Leo towards Claire initially, e.g., selling her off in an auction and giving her to the madam of the club as princess is inhuman and a violation to the wife's rights and honor. I was wondering why she did not leave after these maltreatments. Oh, well, the conclusion [if the narrative ends in Chapter 488] is quite disappointing and anti-climactic. Thank you just the same....
The end of the story is wanting, considering how the episodes build up to conflict after conflict and concluding in yet another conflict. But then c'est la vie! Thank you....
