"Okay, are you going to put poison in the food or drink again?" asked Patricia after drinking her fruit tea. She looks relaxed wearing black pants combined with a maroon top and lets her hair down just like that.
Immediately Liora glanced at Patricia curtly. "Do you think mommy is stupid? Mommy can't do the same thing by poisoning her again!"
"Mommy can do it again because maybe they think that Clara won't be poisoned again because the first poisoning can still be saved."
"Yeah, Then who will put the poison? of course, we have to be very vigilant. There's no way we can pay the maids in Nathan's mansion to put poison because the maids there are very loyal and can't stand a chance of betrayal...if we plan to put poison with them, they might just tell Nathan and things will fall apart!" Liora explained very seriously but her voice wasn't too loud. "mommy doesn't want to take any risk!"
"Then what are you going to do to get rid of her?" asked Patricia.
"Mommy is thinking about that," Liora replied angrily. She immediately drank her fruit tea, glancing at the glass wall, but in her mind were thoughts of how to finish off Clara.
for a while, Patricia fiddled with her phone, lost in thought while her mother thought hard about her future. It could be said, she was just a robot tasked with doing whatever her mother ordered her to do. If she doesn't have a job, then she will only think about herself
Liora glanced at Patricia who instead smiled while looking at her phone, making her annoyed and suspicious about who her daughter's ideal man was so that it didn't look like she wanted Nathan anymore.
"Patricia ... Mommy reiterates once again, you can't be with anyone other than Nathan," she said.
"Yeah… I know that," said Patricia with her smile fading. She put her phone back in her bag, then looked at her mother in disappointment. "I'm just a doll for you. I don't have a chance to please myself," she continued and stood up.
"Patricia, where are you going?"
"Wherever the most important thing is that I don't worry too much about thinking about everything about your ambitions," said Patricia then immediately left the cafe without taking her mother.
Liora looked annoyed at Patricia who was getting more and more naughty by the day as if she didn't want to obey her. She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself, who was almost in a rage at her daughter's attitude.
'If she continues like this, it looks like this will become a new problem. I need to know who the man she likes all this time is, I even need to know who Frederica's real father is,' her mind was filled with curiosity. The woman immediately paid for her drink and then left the cafe in a hurry because she wanted to follow where Patricia was going. Hmm….after all, who did Patricia love? Could it be Frederika's real father?

After a few minutes of traveling, they finally arrived at Nathan's company. she met her husband when she just got out of the elevator, then immediately got a kiss on the lips and a warm hug.
"Are we going to the hospital soon?" asked Clara.
"Yeah, but first I want to have lunch at the cafe, I'm hungry," Nathan replied, cupping Clara's cheeks with his sturdy hands. He noticed that his wife's face was a bit puffy, even her eyes were a little red as if she had been crying. "What were you doing before coming here? Why didn't you answer my call?"
"Ehh ... Actually ... I met my friend earlier," replied Clara somewhat nervously.
"Friend... Which friend?" asked Nathan again.
Ugh, Clara got confused. she didn't even know who Clara's real friends were, making her unable to answer Nathan's questions.
"Ehh ... This is my childhood friend that I have never told you about. So, you don't know who it is yet," she lied.
"Is it a boy or a girl?" asked Nathan with a probing look.
"She's a girl and now she's gone again because she went to San Francisco just to join her husband who was doing work. She came only briefly, and now she's probably on her way to the airport because she's going back to Canada," Clara explained, creating a new story that immediately popped into her mind.
"No wonder your eyes are red, you must have cried with her because of the separation," Nathan said.
"Yeah..."Clara smiled, then distanced herself from Nathan, pretending to be insecure about her appearance. "I was crying, then I washed my face. I must look ugly."
"No, you're not ugly you are very natural," Nathan said then tucked a lock of Clara's hair behind her ear. "I don't like you wearing too much makeup," he continued.
"Is that true?"
"Yeah." Nathan touched Clara's smooth cheek. "Because if you look prettier, I want to eat you...I want to drag you to the room."
"You perverted brain!" Clara immediately pushed Nathan's hand away, then turned her face away. She continued walking back to the elevator with her husband following her right away.
Arriving at the elevator, Clara was silent next to Nathan, who occasionally glanced at her, making her feel awkward.
"Why do you keep looking at me? Do I look weird?" She asked.
"No, I'm just... I'm just worried about you," Nathan replied looking back at the front. "Sometimes I think that deciding to assign one guard for you doesn't seem like enough. I'm worried if something bad happens while only one person is looking after you... That's very risky," he continued.
"He can take good care of me, you don't have to worry and I'm sure nothing bad will happen again," Clara said, then wrapped her arms around Nathan's arms. "You have to stop feeling anxious because it can make you less happy..don't waste time just thinking about problems, sometimes we need to be free and happy without thinking about the problems that exist."
"Hmm, you're right. But the current situation doesn't allow for fun." Nathan sighed. "Hopefully Erick gets better soon and I can ask about the police investigating the car."
"Yes."
Clara was silent, remembering Nathan who didn't know about Ronald's condition, who had an accident and was now hiding. .she couldn't have told her husband for fear of getting angry because she was investigating without his knowing.
Ting...
The elevator doors opened again, Nathan again walked hand in hand with Clara towards the exit, down the corridor leisurely. once in a while they smiled at the employee who was next to them.
'I miss the office atmosphere, I'm curious about the conditions there without my leadership anymore? Will things remain stable, or will there be changes made by uncle Robert or Oskar?' Clara had a monologue with herself, imagining her pre-accident routine was that of a workaholic career woman. Hmm, maybe later she will find out that her position has been replaced by Oskar, and Mia doesn't want to work anymore.
"I don't know why I wanted to visit Casey," Nathan muttered.
"Is that true?"
"Yeah, I want to see how she's doing," Nathan said, guiding Clara carefully as she crossed the not-so-high staircase from the terrace to the courtyard. ."Maybe we can go there when I'm not too busy," he continued.
"That's a great idea," Clare said with a smile, pleased that Nathan cared about her as Casey. 'I wonder if there is anyone there who cares for me or just let me lie down with the nurse taking care of me. .and maybe Michael is there... I miss him I want to make sure he's not depressed anymore,' she thought....
