Leo soon returns to the hospital. He’s going to see Luke. Fortunately, when he gets to the ward, nothing happens.
And by this time, Luke has come to life and his shoulders have been bandaged.
Claire is still in the bed. Her little face is still pale.
Leo has people outside the ward and says to Luke, “what happened?”
“I’m here with Claire. In the middle of the night, the killer in black broke in. We fought and he was fierce. I guess his goal is me! But he may also be for the organization!”
Leo frowns and asks, “but Luke, why are you here with Claire?”
His tone is cold. He seems to be blaming Luke.
Luke gives a wry smile. “Leo, I’m seriously hurt. Do you blame me?”
“Shut up!” Leo is impatient. "You almost die for a slut. Is Claire worth your life to protect?”
Leo is furious and points to Claire and questions Luke.
Claire is insulted by Leo and embarrassed.
Luke realizes Claire’s embarrassment and laughs, “are you kidding me? Shouldn’t I save your wife? And I’m fine, aren’t I?”
Leo clenches his teeth. “You know if I think she’s my wife. And I don’t need your meddling.”
Luke gets up discontentedly and says, “I think Claire is my friend, so Itake care of her. Can’t I?”
Leo squints in surprise. He seldom sees Luke angry, but he didn’t expect that now he is angry for Claire!
Leo stops talking. He is angry and jealous.
That’s impossible! Leo glances at Luke and says, “whatever, but since you are seriously injured now, take good care of yourself. I’ll go first.”
With that, he leaves here directly.
At this time, Emma is pacing anxiously outside the ward. Although Juan promised her to kill the killer, she still hasn’t heard from him.
What should she do? If Leo finds out the truth, she will be severely punished!
Emma is very nervous. She doesn’t even see Leo walk out of the room.
“Little wild cat?” Leo calls Emma once, but she doesn’t hear.
Seeing this, Leo is a little upset. He walks over to put his arm around her shoulder and patiently asks, “what’s the matter with you?”
“Ah!”
Emma screams in a low voice. When she sees Leo, she throws herself directly into Leo’s arms and hugs his neck and sobs, “Leo, it’s so nice to see you are OK. You don’t know how nervous I was just now. If something happens to you, I don’t know what to do.”
Seeing Emma’s thoughtfulness, Leo immediately gives up his displeasure. Then he thinks of the woman lying on the bed in the ward. Why doesn’t she worry about him? He saved her.

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....
