“It’s impossible, isn’t Leo going to make trouble for me?”
“With me, he doesn’t dare to do anything to you. You just need to take care of yourself.”
With Ashley’s physical condition, it’s impossible to escape. She can only temporarily commit herself here and wait for the opportunity to act.
But Claire’s attitude to her surprised Ashley.
Since she is in Howard family, Claire is finally taken away by Leo. Claire is sure to know the whole story from Leo, so as to break up her friendship.
But in reality, why does Claire still care about her as if nothing happened?
With a little doubt, Ashley says, “Leo can make such a concession, surely because you mediate in it, thank you.”
“Don’t thank me. Aren’t we friends?”
Friend?
This name makes Ashley stupefied and then she says with a wry smile, “I think we would never be friends in our life. After all, I cheated you and even utilized you.”
“I know your identity,” Claire says with a sympathetic smile. “You are an undercover policeman. It’s really powerful.”
“Don’t you blame me?”
“It’s a good thing to collect evidence, overthrow evil forces and eliminate harm for the people. As for you utilizing me...” Claire’s expression is complicated and says, “If Leo can do what he says, there will be no later disturbance. After all, it is he who doesn’t believe you that hurt you.”
“Claire, you are so kind.”
“That also wants you to be a good person, I can be kind to show you.” Claire smiles again and says, “But your identity is not the same as I expected.”
“Don’t you really think I’m the elder sister of the underworld?”
“Once I thought so.”
Claire’s seriousness makes Ashley laugh.
“Well, you don’t need to worry about anything now. You just need to take good care of yourself here. As for the evidence, I will persuade him to give it to you.”
Ashley shanks her head and says, “I dare not have extravagant thoughts, as long as I can keep my life. Leo is a terrible man, I don’t want to deal with him any more.”
“Don’t worry. I won’t let him bully you again. You used to protect me. Now, I’ll protect you.”
Claire’s words moves Ashley and says, “Claire, it’s really my luck to know you.”
“I’m glad to know you, too. Oh, when you’re in a better state of mind, I’ll introduce a friend to you. Her character is very similar to yours. I believe you will become good friends.”
“Well, I’m looking forward to that.”
Seeing that Ashley has starts yawning, Claire stands up and says, “You’d better have a rest earlier, after all, you just woke up. The doctor says that you have a good foundation, but you should also take care of yourself, or you will leave the root of the disease.”
“I see, you are still so wordy.”
Although she makes complaints, but Ashley lays down on the bed again obediently.
Helping Ashley to tuck in the quilt corner. Claire leaves the room easily.
As soon as the door closed, Ashley opens her eyes.
Staring at the ceiling, Ashley’s face is expressionless, recalling all kinds of things in this period of time.
Leo, since I doesn’t die, I will let you taste the taste of failure!
It’s just... The only one she will be sorry is Claire.
...
Since Claire came back to the house of Howard, she has been busy taking care of Ashley every day, even her baby son has been neglected.

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....
