Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister -
Chapter 602 Never Give Up
"Neo boy, you are awake! I thought that you are still having a good dream," Clara slightly stroke the head of the Doraemon doll.
Standing aside, observing, Horace was pleased that Clara now could mistake an entity as Neo after she mistook the invisible air as Neo yesterday.
Such a change in Clara installed a belief in Horace that the medication could finally cure her one day if she could keep on taking it and maintain a steady mood.
Relieved by such a belief, Horace stared at Clara with a lighter heart.
She looked gentle and soft now, as it had brought out the maternal love inside her to the greatest extent.
Moreover, she was charming and beautiful win this way. If she was not caught in her hallucination, she would be more than attractive to Horace. Horace shook his head to dismiss this thought. He knew that one could not have his cake and eat it too.
Then Horace checked the time and decided to take Clara to do some washing before having breakfast. He planned to take her out of the house to have fun today, so that her attention could be distracted from the painful memory a little.
She had her breakfast in a cooperated and quiet way, so they finished their meal soon. They departed for their happy day after Horace helped Clara get dressed.
Before they left the house, Clara insisted on having one more look at Neo's room.
She indeed wanted to hang out, so she needed to leave the fancy Neo alone for the day, which showed that she was now actually more a child than a psychopath.
Horace decided to drive Clara to a shopping mall and buy her some clothes. Since she was ill last time, she had not bought any new dresses. Therefore, Horace thought that it was high time that they should do some shopping on such a nice day.
Clara behaved unexpectedly cooperated all the way until she saw a machine.
She walked towards a claw machine and wanted to take the dolls out of it, but she was stopped by the glass. She looked imploringly at Horace who then bought some machine coins and began the doll catching game.
Horace had never played this kind of game before, so he was unfamiliar with it. What's more, as the machine had a special design which would decrease the success rate, Horace caught nothing at his first time.
The failure dampened the hopeful light in Clara's eyes, which made Horace determined that he must succeed this time. Then, he fully focused on the claw crane and tried to anticipate its next movement, which surprisingly brought them success.
When the doll fell out of the machine through a pipe, Clara excitedly picked it up and shouted, "Neo boy, your dad is amazing, right?"
Horace was transfixed by her words and his smile was frozen by disappointment.
It turned out that Clara would view every doll as Neo. Yet, when he saw that she indeed loved the doll, he felt that his effort was quite worth it.
"Horace, have a look at him. Our boy is so cute, right?" tightly hugging the doll, Clara turned to look at Horace and asked. Horace nodded his head and reached out to slightly rub Clara's head.
A happy smile bloomed on Clara's face. Horae realized that it had been a long time since he saw the same smile on her face last time, especially after their loss of Neo. He comforted himself that he could also accept the current cruel reality if Clara felt happy in this way.
However, accidents happened soon-Clara nearly fell down from the escalator!
Suddenly, Clara rushed forwards and, before Horace realized what had happened, fell down on the ground. She moved so fast that Horace could not stop her.
"Clara, are you okay?" Horace walked over to help Clara up and cast a terribly cold glare at the woman who made her fall. He would make everyone who had hurt Clara pay for it.
"She! She took Neo away from me." Horace looked in the direction that Clara pointed to and saw the doll in the woman's hand.
He was then made speechless. It turned out that the woman had just bought a doll for her own son when Clara rushed towards her and mistook the doll as Neo.
After Horace's apology, the woman was to leave the spot, which agitated Clara so much that she crazily grabbed the doll from the woman's hand.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" the woman was infuriated and shouted at Clara. Horace stepped forward and, glowering at her coldly, handed her a 100 bill.
"I have apologized. Give me the doll and you can buy another one with this," Horace commanded. The woman was cheered up when she realized that's she could exchange the doll which was worth no more than twenty dollars for a hundred.
She took the bill and left in a hurry, worried that Horace would regret his decision.
Horace then supported Clara to stand up straight and showed her the doll, "Now we have our Neo back. Are you happy?"
Clara kept gazing at Horace when he helped her tuck her hair behind her ear.
Clara now looked so lovely that Horace could not help kissing her. Then, with a doll in his arm, Horace headed for home with Clara, who was also holding a doll, hand-in-hand.
They had already shopped for a long time, so Horace thought that they should go home now. However, before they got into their car, Clara vomited heavily, which worried Horace very much, so he drove Clara to a hospital first.
After some simple checks, Horace was told that Clara vomited only because her fall in the mall caused some problems with her stomach, which was not serious, so the only medication she would need was a good rest.
According to the doctor, Clara's condition was not serious, so she could recover after some rest. Besides, since drugs always had side effects, it would be better that she did not take any of them. After the checks, Horace drove Clara home. Before they truly settled down, an old voice full of authority claimed Horace's attention.
"Horace, you are finally back," it took Horace a few seconds to figure out who was talking to him. It was the old Mr. Lawrence, a good friend of the late Russell Kirkland, who had been so kind to Horace when he was young.
He was puzzled by the reasons why the old Mr. Lawrence came.
Horace sat opposite Mr. Lawrence with Clara. After greeting him, Clara lapsed into silence.
"Horace, your wife looks..." The old man paused before he finished the sentence, waiting for Horace to explain the situation. Then, Horace told him the whole story.
Actually, Mr. Lawrence had learned the whole story, but he just wanted to know by analyzing Horace's own narration that whether Horace had a change of heart.
After Horace finished his narration, the old man slightly stroke his own beard with satisfaction. Then, he suddenly suggested, "Now that your wife is ill, you may consider replaceing a new partner."
After all, although Horace was young, it would be tiring and challenging for him to take care of both the company and his wife at the same time.
Of course, Horace knew that it would be tiring. Yet, how could he leave Clara now?
He loved Clara more than he could say. He would never betray and leave Clara for a new woman only because she was ill.
It was definitely impossible for him to abandon his wife.
