If Claire was disappointed at first, now she’s angry when she hears Luke’s answer.
“Didn’t he mention me when he woke up?” Claire’s voice suddenly turns cold.
But that’s understandable. Claire tried to enlighten herself and wanted to forgive Leo. Claire plucked up her courage and decided to stay with Conan.
But when Claire is about to act, Leo disappears and doesn’t leave her a message.
Yes, Claire wants to forgive him and give up all hatred, but if Leo continues to make mistakes, she can choose to forget the hatred and leave Leo.
Luke recognizes Claire’s discontent. He comforts her. “He must have mentioned you. I told Leo everything that had happened before, and after listening, he asked me how are you now...”
“And then?” Claire doesn’t feel any better.
Luke coughs and falters. “To be honest, I think Leo’s reaction is strange. He didn’t say much to me. I promise you.”
Claire has such a headache that she doesn’t know what to say.
Luke is afraid Claire will leave, so he says, “don’t think too much. Leo needs to calm down now. Wait patiently for a while. Maybe it will be clear when the company’s problems are completely solved.”
Although Claire is angry, she also wants to know why Leo avoids her.
“If you can see Leo, tell him I’ll wait for him for half a month at most. If he doesn’t see me in half a month, I’ll leave with Conan.”
Claire says calmly, but Luke can hear that she has made a serious decision.
If Leo continues to avoid Claire after half a month, the two of them will never be together for the rest of their lives.
Luke agrees and adds, “I’m sure you don’t know if Leo’s memory is restored now, do you?”
It’s also Claire’s headache. She asks, “don’t you know?”
Luke says, “well, it’s strange. I don’t understand Leo now. I don’t know what he’s thinking.”
“...”
After hanging up, Claire has to take Conan to Luke’s house again. For the next half month, Conan goes to Howard Group from time to time and says Luke asks her to help.
Claire occasionally goes to Howard Group, and the information is nothing more than Leo’s business trip. So Claire has a harder time in half a month than when Leo was in a coma.
Claire believes Luke has told Leo what she said, so she counts the days. The 15th day is coming.
...
In the evening, in a closed room, Conan habitually turns on the computer in the dark and easily taps the keyboard. A variety of surveillance videos appear on the computer screen after a flash.
Conan looks relaxed. When he hits the keyboard with both hands, he bows his head and drinks a drink and laughs happily from time to time.
After a flash, the computer screen is finally located successfully. The familiar house appears on the screen. It is Juan’s house.

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....
