thought.
2/5
The face in front of her looked somewhat familiar, but before she could process it, everything faded to black.
When Claire finally regained her senses, she found herself lying in a hospital bed, with a figure standing by the floor–to–ceiling window.
Memories of her collapse flooded back, and her heart raced with anxiety.
She thought, “Did this person save me?
Is this the same person who’s been stalking me?
What does he want?
If he brought me to the hospital, he can’t mean me any harm, right?”
With those thoughts swirling in her mind, Claire shifted slightly and called out to the man by the window, “Sir, did you save
me?”
At the sound of her voice, he turned and hurried over. “Claire, you’re awake!”
“Antony?”
Claire’s eyes widened in surprise as she recognized him. She hadn’t expected her savior to be her high school classmate,

Relief washed over her.
Years ago, Antony had faced hardships; his family was struggling, and his mother was gravely ill.
Claire had given him a check for a million dollars to help him through that tough time.

Antony said with a warm smile, concern etched on his face, “It’s me. How are you feeling? Are you okay?”
“I’m fine,” Claire replied, shaking her head slightly.
“Claire, what on earth are you doing boxing in an underground ring?” Antony asked, glancing at her with a mix of disbelief and
concern.
It was hard for him to reconcile the image of the proud Prescott family princess he once knew with the injured woman lying before him.
“I… I’m fine. I just picked up boxing recently. The Prescott family has such strict expectations, and I needed something to do to keep myself busy.”
Thinking of Frederick and everything that had happened over the past four years, she quickly crafted an excuse to deflect his probing questions.
But Antony caught the flicker of unease in her eyes.

“Oh, I see,” Antony said, nodding, knowingly but choosing, not to press further.
He had been at the boxing ring, every day, witnessing, the lengths Claire went to for money.
He found it hard to believe her words, but if she didn’t want to share, that was her choice.
Antony then pulled a check from his pocket, holding it out to her. “Claire, when you gave me that million–dollar check back then, I promised I’d pay you back one day.”
He didn’t care to know why Claire felt the need to lie, he simply couldn’t stand to see her in pain or suffering.
Years spent working hard abroad had been driven by a single goal that was to repay her and earn the right to stand by her side.
Claire was undeniably tempted by the sight of the check, but she wasn’t quite sure how to ask for it.
After all, back then, she never imagined things would come to this, and she had told Antony it was a debt she wouldn’t pursue.
Now, that money felt like a lifeline in a snowstorm.
“Claire, whether you want it or not, you’re getting it,” Antony said, seeing Claire’s hesitation.

“I…” Claire began, still holding the check, trying to find the right words.
But before she could continue, a burst of enthusiastic applause came from the doorway.
She turned to see Frederick standing there, clapping with
obvious amusement.
“Bravo! Truly fantastic! A million dollars! Claire, you really have a talent! Even in the underground ring, you manage to captivate men to the point where they’re eager to shower you with money!”
