Genius Son Sells his Mom to Dad

Chapter 473 Don’t hurt her again

“You...”

After interrupting Claire’s words, Leo says, “You are tired after playing all day. Go back to have a rest. If you don’t want to come down for dinner, I’ll let someone to send it to your room.”

Leo’s tone is peaceful, but it lets Claire more uneasy.

Seeing that Leo is leaving, Claire hurriedly calls him and asks, “Can you stop hurting Ashley?”

The footsteps stops slightly, and the voice of Leo is low and he says, “You just said that you didn’t listen to what I said, only to see what I did. In this case, what I said is of no use.”

“Oh, so it is.”

The body is stiff for a moment and Leo leaves.

With her shoulders hanging weakly, Claire leans against the wall and closes her eyes gently.

Why are they like this? After so many things, why can’t they be happy? It’s really confusing...

When Claire is thinking about it, a servant finds her and says that Ashley is awake.

Getting the news, Claire goes straight to Ashley’s room without any delay.

...

“How are you? Do you feel better now?”

Inexplicably looking at Claire, Ashley asks, “I’m in great pain. What’s the matter?”

“The doctor said that your wound is cracked again, but don’t worry, it will recover slowly.” Claire says, licking her lower lip involuntarily, “Ashley, can you tell me how you got hurt?”

Ashley’s expression becomes some stiff, but she smiles and says, “Oh, It blames myself for carelessness. It was too hot at noon. I wanted to take a shower, but I fell down. I thought it was just a small thing and didn’t expect it would crack the wound.”

“If it’s just a fall, it won’t make the wound so serious.” Claire stares at Ashley and says, “Ashley, there are only two of us here. You don’t have to worry about it. You can say whatever you want.”

With a self mocking smile, Ashley says, “I can have what scruples, I can live up to now is enough.”

“Don’t say that. No one can control you. When you are well, I will see you off in person.”

Although Claire’s tone is sincere, but Ashley doesn’t hold any hope. She shakes her head and says, “Now, let’s not talk about it first, let’s settle down and get sick.”

Ashley, who is a perverse person, even has a time of peace, which shows how much she cares about the founder.

But Claire is also very guilty. After all, she once promised Ashley that she would protect her well, but she still hurt Ashley.

“I’m sorry.”

Ashley is stunned for a moment, then shakes her head and says with a smile, “It’s nothing to do with you. You’ve done a good job. I can’t let you divorce Leo for me.”

Ashley finishes saying this, then tightly stares at Claire, find her eyes to stay for a moment.

The hand under the quilt slowly pinches tightly. Ashley changes the topic and asks, “By the way, do you have a good time today?”

Claire also pretends to be OK and says, “Of course, I’m happy. I want to take you with me. But now it seems that the plan will be delayed.”

Ashley is also very sorry and she murmurs, “Nest in the room for so long, I’m almost hairy. Seriously, I really want to go out for a walk.”

“Then you can get better quickly. There are many interesting places in city A. I will be your guide and take you to have fun.”

“Well, OK.”

Reaching out to cover Ashley, Claire says, “Take a rest now. The doctor said you should have a rest. Don’t think about it.”

“But I just woke up. I can’t sleep now.”

“Then close your eyes and let’s have a chat.”

Ashley obediently closes her eyes, but her problems are cruel.

“Claire, can I leave here alive?”

“Of course, I promise you!”

Claire’s tone is high, which seems to answer Ashley and herself.

“I don’t want to die yet, not because I’m afraid of death. Because I have unfinished desires.”Ashley pauses for a moment and asks, “Did I tell you why I want to stay in MG company?”

Claire nods and says, “You said that you want to realize someone’s wishes.”

“But I must not have said what his wish was.” Recalling the past, Ashley says with a shallow smile, “That man is my classmate, my colleague and my comrade in arms. We have known each other for many years. I know that he is a workaholic and how much he has paid to catch Mr. Bennett.”

“In fact, at first, it was him who carried out the undercover task, but in a pursuit operation, he was exposed and pushed into the sea by Mr. Bennett’s people and his whereabouts are still unknown.”

It’s been a long time, but now when it comes to it, Ashley still feels pain in her heart.

It’s sweet and painful. According to Ashley’s description of that person’s tone, Claire knows what that person means to Ashley.

Taking a deep breath, Ashley continues, “That’s why I must arrest Mr. Bennett. Only by bringing Mr. Bennett to justice can I comfort his dead.”

“I see. No wonder you work so hard.”

“You have your lover, I think you can give me understanding. But I don’t understand why Leo refused to give me the criminal evidence of Mr. Bennett. It’s his choice. I can’t make it. However, since he refuses to give it, I can find it by my own way. I’m not well now. When I get well, I must go back to city B and find evidence.”

Claire is surprised and says, “No, your identity has been exposed. It will be very dangerous to go back. The job of catching bad people is not for you. You can also retreat to the second tier and do auxiliary work.”

Ashley shakes her head and says, “No one knows Mr. Bennett’s temperament and habits better than me. If I withdraw at this time, all my previous efforts will be in vain. New people need time to adapt. And

in this period of time, enough to miss a lot of opportunities. I have no chips. I have to catch Mr. Bennett.”

“What about you? What about your safety?”

Ashley smiles, and says indifferently, “I’m OK, I have been dead once, so I don’t afraid of anything.”

“Don’t say that. It’ll make me blame myself. After all, you’re here because of me.”

“Don’t blame yourself. It’s all my choice. No wonder others. Really, I don’t blame you, nor Leo. I only blame my ability is not enough.” Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“I...”

After patting Claire on the back of her hand, Ashley yawns and says, “Well, I’m a little sleepy now that I don’t talk about it.”

Knowing that this is Ashley’s excuse, Claire is helpless.

Taking a deep breath, Claire says, “Then you have a good rest. I’ll go first and see you tomorrow.”

“Well, good.”

When Claire leaves slowly, Ashley opens her eyes. And there is nothing in her eyes.
