that time..
The time where before the incident repeatedly occurred.
Ryan was suddenly called and sent to the Aelyn family head room.
As soon as he arrived, he was greeted by the head of the Aelyn family himself.
"You called me, master?"
"Sit down, ryan. I have something to tell you."
Ryan always tries to remain polite when he is spoken to by the head of the Aelyn family.
"Ryan. Will you listen to my last request."
"What is it, Master?"
"Take care of my little chloe. I just want chloe to be able to live without being sad because she has to be burdened by the pain she is suffering from."
Those words took Ryan by surprise.
"Master. I understand that you want me to take care of Ms. But, why are you suddenly saying that?" wonder.
"You must have a lot of questions to ask. For example, why should I go to Mr. Ashford's place, right?"
Spontaneously ryan even silent.
"Sometimes, I see you secretly watching my conversation with your father."
Then..
"There are times when I have to take a big risk from what I'm doing. Your father feels the same way as you and he decided to accompany me while I was there. I don't want to involve you in this matter. Your family has always protected mine, you are the successor to the Keane family. As the head of the Aelyn family, I really beg of you. Take care of my daughter. "

"Miss Chloe!!"
Ryan continued to scream, but he was again restrained by claire.
"Ryan, calm down. You'll get yourself killed if you don't calm down first."
"Let go of me, claire. I have to go. I have to..."
"NO!!"
Suddenly claire hugged ryan tightly.
"I don't want to.. I don't want to let a good person go to me just like that. I don't want a good person to leave in front of my eyes again. Please don't go, ryan. Please."
Claire's tears began to break as she hugged Ryan, so that Ryan couldn't say anything.
It can't be helped, Claire's sadness is definitely unstoppable as long as she sees Ryan who is very worried about the lady he protects, regardless of her condition. Just like that time.. Her heart still couldn't accept Steve's sadness at that time.
Likewise with Chris. He was also silent seeing claire who was crying but he couldn't do anything to wipe his sister's tears.
"Claire. Stay here and take care of ryan. I'll go in and find chloe. I promise."
Chris dropped the sniper and returned to holding his dagger. Sensing something was wrong, claire tried to say something, but it was so hard.
Unfortunately, claire was late. Chris had rushed in.
Moreover, from afar...
"So you've found the little princess. Chris."
