“No, I’m fine. The baby kicked me.” It was the first time for Clara to clearly feel the fetal movement. What she felt previously were only faint kicks. “The baby kicked you?” Wilson hadn’t expected that. Looking at Wilson’s surprised expression, Clara grabbed his hand and put it on her belly instantly. “See, the baby is moving again.” Wilson was stunned when he felt the baby kick him rhythmically. It was a new and strange feeling for him. He was in awe, and that feeling reminded him that it was his baby in Clara’s belly now. Some images flashed across his mind, and his eyes darkened. Clara snapped back to her senses when the fetal movements stopped. She realized that she had grabbed Wilson's hand and made him touch her belly. She felt embarrassed as the movements had stopped, but his hands were still pressed against her belly. She blushed, and the spot where Wilson had touched was warm. “Thanks!” Clara flusteredly stepped back and took the thermos before stuffing it
“I’m sorry. I didn’t know what else I could do to get you to talk to me,” Clara said. “I used to love you very much, right?” Wilson asked calmly. Clara was puzzled by his question. “But, I don’t feel a thing for you now no matter how much I loved you in the past. I don’t have any sympathy or love for you now. I won’t budge even if you go to the office every day to make me agree to your request. Your actions disgust me instead of making me feel sorry for you,” Wilson said while looking at Clara. His eyes were not displaying any emotions, almost as if he truly didn’t love her anymore. “I knew that I said a lot of things that hurt you in the hospital, which made you hate me. Wilson, please continue to hate me or punish me if you want. I’ll accept everything that you want to do to me. But, it’s two different things for now. I can do whatever you want as long as you spare Queenie!” Clara begged. “You’ll do whatever I want?” Wilson raised his eyebrows. “What if I want you to stay
“You’re clear about Jackson's amnesia when Serenity fell off the cliff, right? He didn’t really have amnesia, but part of his memories were locked. The hypnotist changed Jackson's feelings about Serenity. His love for her was downplayed, and what happened between them was just like a movie to him. He couldn’t resonate when he thought about the moments that they had shared.” Clara felt a pang in her chest as Wilson spoke. She felt uneasy, and she was afraid of what he was going to say next.“You’ve guessed it, haven't you?” Wilson asked. “I met up with the hypnotist and tried to make him downplay my feelings for you. I don’t have any feelings for you now. You’re just somebody that I used to know.” Clara’s heart broke when she heard that. “Somebody… that you used to know?” She murmured while getting teary.“Yeah. I remember everything that happened between us, but I don’t feel anything at all.” Wilson wiped the tears in the corners of Clara’s eyes and continued, “You had said tha
“Enough, Clara. I don’t feel anything even if you kiss me like this now,” Wilson said and walked away coldly. Clara felt bitter. She was the one who had always said the word “enough” to him, but he was the one saying it now. Clara was upset that the feelings between them could be erased easily. Even if Wilson remembered everything, he wouldn’t feel a thing for her anymore. Her love for him wasn’t deep enough when he loved her the most, but his feelings were gone the moment her feelings for him began to grow deeper. -“What?” Serenity stared at Jackson with disbelief. “Wilson went to the hypnotist who hypnotized you?!” “Yeah.” Jackson nodded.“Why?” “If I’m correct, he probably wanted to stop his feelings for Clara. After all, it was too painful for him to be rejected by Clara like that,” Jackson said.“But he should be able to bear the pain as he had been rejected by her before,” Serenity muttered. “It’s a different case now. He should have been okay if Clara had alw
“Clare is in Latveria now, and Wilson…” Serenity got worried. “I have to tell Clare about this. It’s probably useless for her to beg Wilson.” Serenity quickly called Clara and informed her about what had happened to Wilson. Clara said calmly, “I already know about it.” “What? Do you already know about it? Wilson…” “He no longer has any feelings for me. I’m just somebody that he used to know. He said that our past was like a movie for him, and the movie has ended now.” Serenity hesitated momentarily and said, “Clare, why don’t you come back to Solaria first and we’ll figure out something else. I’m afraid that you won’t have the slightest bit of progress if you continue to stay there.” “I should stay for a few more days. Maybe things will still turn around. I can’t do anything even if I’m back at Solaria,” Clara said. “Well then, take care of yourself. Come back as soon as possible. I can also come over to your side if you need me.” “I’m fine on my own right now. I will c
“You only mentioned that you don’t have any feelings for me. You didn’t say that you can’t negotiate anything about my request,” Clara said.“A negotiation?” Wilson raised an eyebrow slightly. “Are you out of your mind? How could you ask me to spare someone who almost got me killed? What can you give me back in return?” “I’ll be your donor,” Clara said after taking a deep breath. Wilson narrowed his eyes as she continued in a dry voice, “You used to have leukemia and needed a bone marrow transplant back then. Even if you’re healthy now, it may relapse in the future. So…” Clara’s voice became weaker as she spoke. She didn’t want to curse him as he had been healthy throughout the years and the possibility of relapse was extremely small, but she still had to say it.“You still need a bone marrow transplant if the leukemia relapses. My bone marrow suits you the most. I can be your donor to keep you safe and sound.” The air around them quieted down when she was done talking. Wilso
Wilson’s brows furrowed tightly, and he didn’t feel good. He was over their relationship, but seeing Clara in this state made him feel bad. “You can’t do that for me? See? Your friend and the children are more important to you than me. Why should I agree to your condition, then? You’re not willing to sacrifice anything even if you said so.” Wilson removed his arm from her grip and got into the car. Clara was left alone. She didn’t know what to do to save Summer. There was no way for her to save her friend. She could never agree to Wilson’s terms. She could only sob helplessly in place while wondering what had happened to Summer. She didn’t know whether Queenie was telling the truth or not. Clara’s figure was reflected in the rearview mirror of Wilson’s car.He quickly closed his eyes and told himself not to think too much about it. His emotions shouldn’t be affected by her as he didn’t love her anymore. He leaned back on the car seat and put his hand on his chest.
Clara smiled bitterly. “Thank you, but you won’t be able to help much.” Peter scratched his head. “You should be taking care of yourself first. Life goes on despite the difficulties. You’ll realize that today's difficulties are nothing when you look back one day.” Peter was surprised when they arrived at the hotel. He thought that Clara would be staying at an average hotel, but they were at a high-class hotel. “You’re staying here?”“A friend arranged it for me,” Clara replied. Just then, Peter’s stomach growled, and he smiled embarrassedly. “Ugh, I haven’t had dinner yet. I’ll make a move first since you’re back at the hotel.” “Come on, I’m a little hungry too,” Clara said. There was a pasta house in front of the hotel, and they went there for dinner. While Peter was taking a bite, Clara asked, “Who’s babysitting Riley since you’re in Latveria now?” “The woman next door takes care of her if I’m busy or outstation. She charges me two thousand dollars for that,” Pet
