Lucas looked at her with a cold gaze. "Sure, let him come find me."
Sophia suddenly stopped crying.
Lucas was completely unresponsive now as if nothing mattered to him anymore!
Sophia's heart was filled with intense bitterness. She had sacrificed one of her legs, only to end up like this?
How could she possibly be content?
At that moment, the door to the hospital room was knocked on.
"Miss Winter."
It was the butler from Sophia's family, carrying a box in his hands as he walked in.
Sophia said, "This is the birthday gift Leo gave me. I've treasured it and never opened it."
The butler handed the box to Lucas.
Lucas took it, opened it, and glanced inside. It was a music box.
Very delicate and beautiful, something clearly meant for a girl.
He stood up and left.
Sophia watched his departing figure, her face turning dark. She pulled out her phone and dialed a number.
"What should I do? Lucas now doesn't want to see me or him at this rate?"
k to me. How can I marry
The person on the other end said, "Just push it forward. Your goal isn't really to marry him anyway."
Sophia bit her lip. "But I can't find an opportunity."This text is property of NĂ´/velD/rama.Org.
The other person chuckled and said, "Take your time, there will always be a chance."
Maria gave Aveline some time off.
Aveline went straight home. The butler saw the bandage on her neck and asked with concern, "Madam, what happened to you?"
Aveline smiled slightly. "It's nothing, just a small injury."
The butler said, "You must be careful not to infect the wound."
"Yes, I will."
Aveline went upstairs.
Just as she entered her bedroom, her phone rang. She looked at the screen; it was an unfamiliar number.
She hesitated for a moment before answering, "Hello, who is this?"
"Hello, you're about to die. Are you looking forward to it?"
The voice was Darren!
Aveline's hand tightened around the phone, but she didn't hang up. Instead, she
I you?"
asked directly, "Why do you want to kill me? What did I ever do. P. Instead, she
"Hehehe..." Darren laughed sinisterly. "You wretch, you forgot, didn't you? I have suffered for ten years, and you forgot it all!"
Aveline frowned. "So, what exactly did I do to offend you?"
Darren replied, "When you die, I'll tell you. Don't worry, it won't be long."
Aveline was speechless.
This guy wa
guy was crazy, wasn't he?
She hung up the phone.
Earlier, she had been quite scared, but now she only felt helpless.
She changed her clothes and was about to rest when Selena called her.
"Hey, Ave, do you have time tonight?" Selena's voice sounded lifeless.
Aveline asked, "Yes, what's up?"
Selena said, "Come out for dinner, comfort my wounded soul."
Aveline couldn't help but laugh. "Your soul is so strong, who could possibly hurt you?"
Selena replied, "Who else... that bastard Aaron!"
Aveline paused. "Is he giving you trouble again?"
Selena said, "Can we talk about it tonight? Let's meet at Club Nine. I heard they got a new batch of decent college guys."
Aveline fell silent.
So, Selena needed college guys to comfort her wounded soul.
"Alright."
Aveline agreed.
By the time they met, it was already dark outside.
They went straight to a private room in Club Nine.
As they stepped out of the elevator, someone passed by them. Aveline didn't pay much attention, but the person quickly came back, looking at her with surprise." Miss, you're here. Are you feeling better?" Aveline looked at him in confusion, thinking the person seemed familiar.
Selena leaned in and asked, "What's going on? Are you planning to be a player?"
