Claire has never been in love and doesn’t know what love is.
She doesn’t like Leo at all. She only hates Leo. Leo killed her father. Her hatred lasts for six years. How could she forget it because Leo is so nice to her for only a few days?
Yes, it must be. She doesn’t like Leo at all!
Claire hypnotizes herself in her heart. Leo takes a bath and comes back.
Leo goes back to bed and sees Claire in the quilt. He lies next to Claire and holds her. He pulls off her quilt and says in a hoarse voice, “Why are you covering it? Don’t you feel bad?”
With that, Leo sees the tears on Claire’s face and freezes.
“What’s the matter with you?”
Claire smells Leo’s mature masculinity. The anxiety in her heart suddenly relaxes. She turns to look at Leo and shakes her head. “I’m fine.”
Claire doesn’t want to say so Leo doesn’t ask. He puts his chin on Claire’s head and says softly, “well, you’re tired. Have a good rest.”
“…”
Claire lies in Leo’s arms and is silent. She recalls what Kate said. Maybe she should take the initiative to be nice to him and let him tell her about her son earlier. So she doesn’t have to go on suffering.
Claire is thinking, but Leo is staring at her face. He didn’t notice before. Now he is close to her and feels familiar with the face.
Where on earth has he seen it?
Leo recalls people he has met before and thinks he is familiar with Claire. He can’t help but want to get close to her and get to know her.
It’s like the closer he gets to Claire, the more he can find that answer. But it turns out the closer he gets to Claire, the more he feels like she’s a mystery he can’t see. He is confused.
This vague feeling confuses Leo. He must have met this woman.
But no matter how he thinks about it, he can’t remember where he has seen her. Leo subconsciously thinks of the memory he lost. There seems to be a voice in his mind telling him that that memory is important to him and that he must remember it.
He didn’t have such a strong feeling before, but now it’s so strong that he can’t help looking for the truth.
He looked for it but found nothing. Few people know about it. Luke says it doesn’t matter so Leo can’t see anything.
It’s more than 10 o’clock in the evening. There should be a doctor on duty. Soon someone answers the phone. Claire says, “Hello, is this the emergency center? My friend is ill. He is in great pain now. Yes, he was ill before. Don’t ask so much! Come here quickly! The doctor said he can’t get sick or he will die! I’m at...”
When Claire calls, the doctor wants to ask about Leo’s condition in detail. Claire makes a brief introduction. When she sees Leo roaring with pain, she is anxious and interrupts the doctor. She gives an address directly and asks them to send an ambulance quickly.
Claire hangs up and holds her cell phone. She looks at Leo in agony at a loss and is extremely anxious.
What should she do? She has no idea about Leo’s condition. She doesn’t know what will happen when he gets sick. Leo only had a pain in the restaurant for a while last time and it was not as serious as it is today.
Who can help her at this time?
Luke!
Claire suddenly thinks that Luke is the only one who knows Leo’s condition best. At this critical moment, she should inform him first!
Claire nervously calls Luke, but he seems busy and doesn’t answer the call immediately.

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....
