Horace looked at Clara’s every move and wanted to test his guess, but he looked into Clara’s steely eyes.
“What?” Clara asked Horace.
Horace shook his head. It seemed that Clara was completely fine now. The medicine really worked. Horace was happy, but he was afraid that Clara would leave him again, so he followed her around.
“Nothing.” Horace met Clara’s grim gaze and knew that Clara was still angry now. He knew he wasn’t supposed to be abrasive. Otherwise, Clara might return back to the status several days ago.
“Clara, do you want to eat? I can cook for you.” Horace had been feeding Clara recently. Now that Clara had recovered, she could eat by herself.
Clara got up in the morning and hadn’t eaten yet. Now she must be hungry.
“No, I’m leaving.” Clara glanced at Horace. When Horace’s around, Clara couldn’t stop thinking of Neo and felt heart-broken. As a result, she refused Horace’s kindness and planned to go out for dinner.
“Where are you going?” Horace grabbed Clara’s arm and stared at Clara worriedly. He was afraid that Clara would leave him again. Then he wouldn’t be able to find her, right? So now, he couldn’t let her leave.
“Is it any of your business?” Clara shook off Horace’s hand and left.
Horace planned to follow her up. Thought he weren’t able to make contacts with her, he could watch her from distance.
However, Clara figured out his plan. Clara looked at Horace and said, “Don’t follow me. Leave me alone. I’ll come back.”
Clara didn’t know why, but she couldn’t leave this home.
But she didn’t want to be with Horace. The reason why she couldn’t leave might be because Neo once lived in this home. This place had Neo’s smell. Clara threw a glimpse at Horace and walked out of the door.
Horace felt relieved when he heard Clara saying “I’ll come back”, so he didn’t stop Clara anymore. Let her go. She would come back anyway. Since she said it, she would definitely be back.
Horace said to himself. Then he felt a little hungry. He didn’t know whether Clara had brought money with her. Then he thought maybe he was overthinking.
Horace asked the nanny to prepare the breakfast. After the breakfast, he went to work. Horace hadn’t been to the company for a long time. But he took the documents home and got the work done. Now that Clara didn’t need to be taken care of, he should go to the company and check on its current situation.
If employees hadn’t seen the CEO for so long, they might become dubious.
It would lead to employees’ suspicion.
Horace felt sad when he looked around the familiar workplace and recalled that Clara and Neo had been here. But he was the man, he couldn’t fall down.
“Hello, Mr. Kirkland.”
The assistant saw him coming up the stairs and hurried to greet him.
The assistant had not seen him for a long time. He was rather happy to see him.
Although the documents had been sent to Horace’s home, there were so many trivial things that need to be handled. His workload was also heavy. Now that Horace came back, he almost jumped out of joy, because he could finally catch a breath.
“Hi, is everything OK recently?” Horace nodded. They began to discuss the work and entered the office. The assistant needed to report to Horace about the recent company affairs.
Clara left home in the morning and went out to a restaurant for breakfast. Then she drove to Helena’s nursing home. Clara felt that she had been too kind to them before, but not until she lost her son did she realize this.
Nothing special happened, so she soon arrived at the nursing home. Because Shane’s door was damaged by Horace’s kicks last time, he also stayed at the nursing home now.
He said that he came to take care of Helena, but he also found a good excuse for himself to live in the nursing home. When Clara arrived, they were sitting on the chair, chatting.
When Clara came, the air froze a bit.
“What are you doing here?” Shane asked defensively.
Since she could shoot Laura to death, he couldn’t tell if she would do it to him.
But Shane thought too much. Clara was not the kind of person who would directly kill someone with a gun. Only Horace would do such thing. Laura asked for, however. Even she was killed, the police station would not blame this on Horace and Clara.
If Clara killed Shane right now, she would be held accountable. She was not that stupid. She planned to torture them in the cruelest way. Because living in pain was far worse than dying in peace.
Clara wanted to let them know that they needed to pay for what they owed her. She was no sweet angel. Tit for tat was her basic principle.
“What am I doing here? What did you do? Otherwise, how will I come?” Clara found their questions hilarious.
Though they lived here now, it was she who paid for everything, right?
Of course, except for the small bed. Isaac paid for it, but Horace returned the money to him. Clara bought the medicine for Helena, what made them think that they could question her?
“We did nothing, just to maintain justice.” Shane held his head high. But Clara’s expression changed from coldness to ridicule.
“Oh, to maintain social justice. You’re gonna be the hero now?” Clara didn’t want to talk to them anymore. Because she knew that instead of wasting her time, it was better to take actions.
“Helena, don’t blame me for doing this. Blame it on your dead daughter.” Clara didn’t care about their mother-daughter relationship at all. She didn’t want to humiliate her in the first place, since she raised her up.
But what happened to Neo was because Helena was around. Then don’t blame her for being cruel. Clara then called the director and asked some questions.
“I want to ask how much money is left for Helena?” The money was usually paid month by month, but Clara directly paid for a year. She wanted to know how much was left.
“Twelve thousand.” The nursing house was expensive due to its absolutely tranquil surroundings, excellent equipment and considerate service. Moreover, Helena lived in a deluxe suite.
