In fact, when Luke tells Claire about it, he regrets it. He is worried that Claire will really accept Tracy’s request. Leo will blame him when he wakes up.
But Claire doesn’t say anything but is silent.
“Do you really want to promise her? I’ll try harder. Even if Howard Group has no money, it can keep going. Don’t be silly.”
Luke keeps talking around Claire, but Claire keeps silent. Claire knows that Luke is comforting her. In fact, now Howard Group is really closing down.
Dozens of projects have been shut down and the court is investigating Howard Group. At this critical time, once it is found that it has done something illegal, Howard Group will surely die.
Luke is worried. Claire shakes her head and smiles. “That woman is a businesswoman after all. I don’t believe she’s too impulsive. Since Wilson Group won’t help Howard Group, even if I make a sacrifice, it won’t change anything. I’m not so stupid.”
But in fact, Tracy is just emotional. Luke, who has been in contact with her, should know this, but he is relieved to hear Claire say so.
“Yes, you must not be cheated by that woman. Howard Group can be rebuilt. I believe Leo has this ability. But Claire, you are the only one. You must take good care of yourself.”
Claire thinks Luke looks funny but she is moved. She nods and says, “don’t worry.”
Luke glances at Conan who is sleeping on the edge of the hospital bed. He frowns and says, “Conan will be ill before Leo wakes up. I want to have a good sleep. I’ll take him back to rest.”
Claire is in a mixed mood. Of course, this is the best. So they agree that Luke comes to the hospital tomorrow. Then Luke goes home with Conan on his back.
After Luke leaves, Claire’s strong spirit suddenly breaks. She sits listlessly beside Leo’s bed and her brain is buzzing.
Leo is still here when Howard Group is about to be destroyed. She’s actually responsible. She is an indirect killer in Leo’s car accident.
Claire is in agony at the thought of it. She’s taking care of Leo as if she’s making atonement.
Anyway, she has to wait until Leo wakes up and sees the whole Howard group. Otherwise, she can not clean her sins all her life.
And Claire has made up her mind. Once she has the chance, she will try her best to stop Juan’s revenge on Leo. She wants everyone to let go of hatred.
Hatred destroys the previous generation of Howard Family and Bennett Family and passes on to the next generation like a virus. Even Juan, Luke and Tracy are involved. A senseless fight is of no value except to hurt everyone.
Conan is getting involved so she’s getting more anxious.
Claire remembers Tracy’s request again. She perfunctorized Luke, but she wants to promise Tracy.
Now Claire can understand Tracy. She is Leo’s fiancee and pays more for Leo, but she is hurt again and again because of Claire.
In this way, Tracy’s request is not too much.

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....
