Chapter 342 Covering up
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. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“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.
If Claire can sacrifice herself to save Howard Group and let everyone forget about hatred, it’s a good thing.
Claire doesn’t know what Tracy’s specific requests are.
She may have to leave again and never let them see her again.
“I can go anywhere with Conan.” Claire feels a lot relieved. She mumbles to herself and encourages herself.
At this time, Leo’s eyelids on the hospital bed suddenly tremble slightly. He seems to be struggling to wake up. But he soon stops moving. Claire is thinking so she doesn’t notice it.
“I have to meet Tracy.” Claire takes a deep breath and takes out her cell phone. She’s going to ask Luke for Tracy’s phone number.
But will Luke really tell her?
The second day.
Luke has a night off and looks energetic. He seems to have more confidence to deal with Howard Group’s troubles.
But as soon as he enters the ward, he sees Claire, who has not slept all night, walking out.
“You should also have a good rest. I’m here to take care of Leo. Go home and have a good sleep. You’ve been working too hard these days.”
Luke looks at Claire’s pale face and red eyes, and he is also very upset.
Claire wants to ask him about Tracy’s phone number, but she doesn’t know how to say it. Luke suddenly asks in surprise, “where’s Conan? Didn’t he come to the hospital?”
Claire opens her eyes wide and says, “Conan? Didn’t he come home with you? He...”
Luke immediately becomes anxious and says, “Conan and I went out this morning, but he suddenly disappeared at the hospital gate. I thought he went to the hospital before me. What can we do?”
Claire first thinks of Juan. Does Conan get taken by Juan’s men again? But Claire immediately denies it. Juan doesn’t answer her phone now and seems to have lost patience and interest in them. How could he catch Conan again?
Is it Tracy?
Claire still doesn’t feel right. Tracy has enough chips on hand now. She doesn’t need Conan to threaten her. She will only become more emotional.
Claire can’t come up with an answer, but she is somehow reassured. If it isn’t for these two people to hurt Conan, there will be no danger for him to act alone. Many things in the last few days have proved that Conan is not a simple child.
So to comfort the anxious Luke, Claire lies, “Oh, I’m in a trance these days. Conan was here before, but he left with Bryce. Don’t worry.”
