CHAPTER 263

((( CLAIRE )))

I removed his tie and unbuttoned his sleeves.

Then I carefully wiped his face down to his bare chest.

Somebody knocked on the door.

After months of having stayed in the mansion, I knew that knock wasn't a maid's knock.

It was Dr. Eriez when I opened the door.

"Where's Zhio?"

Before I could speak, Zhio answered.

"Let's talk about it outside."

And he looked surprised at what I did to him.

He stood up and brushed by me with a kiss.

Then both of them left.

Whatever the matter was, it looked serious.

But I didn't have even a clue as to what it was.

"You're leaving again?" I asked Zhio when he returned.

He immediately went to his closet and grabbed his office clothes.

"I have to," he answered without looking at me, "If you need something just tell the maids."

"You even hasn't rested a little."

"I'm just fine," he briefly smiled at me, "Thanks for earlier."

Huh? Thanks for wiping him?

"Do you still sleep? Your eye bags look terrible."

"These terrible eye bags wouldn't kill me," he smiled again.

"Zhi---"

"Not now Claire. I have many things to deal with. Okay?"

"Do you still eat?" I gently asked.

"Yes."

He went to the bathroom to change his clothes.

Okay.

I'll shut my mouth…

Before he left…

"Be safe here," he tapped my shoulder.

Just a tap?

I gazed at him and saw him smiling at me.

"I'll just finish this thing Claire."

Then he kissed me.

"Go home today Zhio. I'll help with the dinner."

"I'll try. Don't tire yourself too much."

"You too…"

And so he left.

I helped with the cooking.

"I think this is delicious."

"Master Zhio would like this, Miss Claire."

"I hope he gets back before the food gets cold." Sya emerged at the kitchen and handed me the phone.

"Master Zhio wants to talk to you."

All the hope I had was spoiled when he said he couldn't make it home that day. He wasn't even sure when he was coming back.

"I understand. Take care of yourself there," I said sadly.

He really didn't come home for a few days.
