Soon it is evening.
Luke sits in Claire’s ward and watches Claire sleep quietly. He can not help sighing.
Claire’s face is very pale, but there is a morbid beauty in it, which makes him want to love her. But Luke knows that this woman has more than glamour.
Luke admires her for being strong and unyielding so he has a different feeling for her.
It’s not friendship or love. He just doesn’t want Claire to get hurt.
But Luke can’t do a lot for Claire. He can only accompany her quietly now.
The hospital is quiet in the middle of the night. Luke is a little tired, too.
After a while, Luke is a little sleepy. When he wants to rest on his chair, he suddenly hears the door ring.
Although the sound is very light, it is still obvious in such a quiet environment.
Luke thinks Leo is upset and finally comes to see Claire.
But when he just wants to go and open the door, a black figure hits him.
Luke feels as if he has been hit by a huge stone on his chest. His insides are shaking and he falls to the ground. All his bones are about to spread.
Luke looks up and sees a man in black with a bright bayonet in his hand. The bayonet looks dazzling in the light of the ward. It is extremely cold and murderous.
The man in black apparently didn’t expect anyone else in the ward. He rushes to Claire with his bayonet.
Is this a killer? Luke is suddenly nervous. He covers his chest and rushes over. He kicks the man in black on the wrist with the bayonet.
He must not let Claire get hurt!
The man in black didn’t expect Luke to get up after he is hit hard. He hits him in the wrist.
The bone of the man in black is broken by kicking. He is in pain and his bayonet is off.
“Help! Security!” Luke calls out to the security guard outside the hospital. He is in great pain to stop the killer.
But it is quiet outside the hospital and there is no response. At this time, the killer is obviously angry and thrusts the bayonet straight at him!
Luke can’t avoid it for a while and can only avoid the bayonet hurting his important parts.
Luke feels only a sharp pain. The bayonet pierces his shoulder, and then the blood flows down the blade.
“Luke!” Claire in the hospital bed is finally awakened by the fight between the two men.
But when she wakes up, she sees Luke stabbed by the assassin in black. She can’t stop it.
“It seems that you are her lover. Then you should die!” The killer in black ignores Claire who wakes up behind him. He holds the bayonet tightly and says to Luke viciously.
Originally, Claire is the only target of the killer, but now he mistakes Luke for Bryce.
Because of Emma’s previous request, the killer knows that if he kills Bryce, he will get more money.
“Claire, he’s a killer! Get out of here!” Luke sees Claire wake up and quickly holds down the killer in black. He ignores his injured shoulder and shouts at Claire.

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....
