Clara,why are you crying again?

The man's voice was soft,but it reached her ears clearly from the noise of the car.

Clara looked up at him,and Leon looked at her gently and reached out to touch her head.

"Clara,if you cry like an ugly monster,I won't want you."

Clara burst out laughing,though he had been in the Theodore family for over a year,he was not his own biological parents.

Living under someone else's roof and walking on thin ice,Aunt Rosalind deliberately or unintentionally pushed her,and she dared not resist.

Uncle Theodore is very busy with business and has many social engagements.

After going into business and riding on the economic wind,he has become more and more prominent in Cloud City in recent years and has no time to deal with this family matter.

Only Leon would care about him,like Jasper.

That day was Leon accompanying Clara to the cemetery.

"Mom and Dad,Jasper,I'm doing well now.The Theodore family treats me like their own daughter.You can rest assured."

"Uncle,Aunt,"Leon looked back at Clara,"you can rest assured that Clara will be taken care of by me."

Clara stood beside him.

For some reason,despite the noise around,she heard Leon's strong heartbeat.

She knew it must have been Jasper's forceful response to her.

Later on,no matter how many intimate nights she would fall asleep on Leon's body,listening to his heartbeat,only the thumping of his heart could make her feel at ease.

But as news about Arwen kept coming in,Clara also learned for the first time that her Leon had someone in his heart who he had been longing for.

Leon came back less and less often.

Her birthday,her and his anniversary,the other woman across the ocean always found a way to get rid of him.

Which was more important,Clara herself had weighed,but last night when Leon confessed his love to her with a ring,she almost believed him.

"Oh,why can't this photo be pulled down?You two come and help."The voices of the masters brought Clara's thoughts back.

With a thud,the masters roughly pulled it off,and the promotional photo was torn in two.

"bro,there's no need to pay for this tear."

"What to pay for?It says you just tear it off and throw it away as trash.Do you want it?If you want,get a few and take them home to use as tablecloths.I think this one is of good quality,waterproof and oil-resistant."

"All right,bro."

The drivers moved along the bus stop signs all the way,Clara took out his phone to check the time,had only been away from the hospital for an hour,Leon was really fast.

Clara dialed Zev's number.

"Clara,don't be angry.Leon must be confused.Once he recovers his memory,he will surely remember.""

"It's okay.I don't mind."

Clara didn't know why he could say this so calmly.

Also,her heart has long been worn down by the repeated disappointments of waiting.Maybe she has been waiting for this day.

So that she would not hesitate,nor be surprised,when Aunt Rosalind asked her to decide to leave.

"Clara."Zev,who was opposite,was also startled by Clara's tone,and he called her cautiously.

"Zev,do you still have Asen's contact information?Send it to me."

"yes,yes,yes,but how long has Asen been an immigrant?I'm not sure if I can get in touch with him.Besides,why are you going to contact him?you won't..."

After a long silence,Zev spoke up:"But Asen must have been waiting for you all the time.If you could contact him,he might be a fool..."
