As night fell, Conner returned to the hospital ward after seeing Henry off. Clara lay on the bed with her eyes tightly shut, and her face was drained of color. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Don’t pretend to be asleep!” Conner snapped. 

The next second, Conner grabbed Clara’s arm. The sharp pain jolted her eyes open, and she gasped. “I–I did everything you asked! Please, spare me!” Despite Clara bezzing for mercy, Conner’s eyes narrowed dangerously. “You idiot! You ruined my perfect plan and now you have the audacity to ask for mercy?” Conner released her arm, and Clara’s face twisted in anguish. “What do you mean? I’ve lost my child! Maeve pushed me down the stairs, and everyone saw it!” “You’re such an idiot. Do you really think Maeve is as stupid as you? She had a backup plan.

With that, Conner left the room 

He even paused to put on a gentle façade as he said to Clara, “Nathalie, have a good talk with Mr. Brooks When everything’s over, we can go home” 

Clara bit her lip in frustration. Conner was clearly trying to make Sergio misunderstand their relationship. 

Once Conner was gone, Clara looked at Sergio with tearful eyes. “Sergio, I thought you weren’t coming back.” 

Sergio kept his distance. Clara had anticipated his indifference, but it still stung 

She sobbed softly. “Sergio, let me explain what happened today-
