“You're getting better at lying, Lucy,” spat Lucas.
Lifting her eyes, Lucy saw his bronze-colored, handsome face. His cold expression made his
countenance appear even sterner.
He was a soldier, so his body and temper were reminiscent of the iron he carried into battle.
Lowering the hand she held the phone with, she uttered, “If you don't believe me, you can head inside
and take a look yourself. Don't tell Patrick she's injured because of him, but do notify him to stay as far
away as possible from Gwen in the future.”
The edges of his lips curved upward slightly. “She really is inside?”
Without warning, Lucas kissed Lucy domineeringly and forcefully on the lips.
He also embraced her and brought her into Einar's office.
Struggling to escape, she snapped, “Let me go! I don't want other people to think we have that kind of
relationship!” We just have that kind of relationship because of our agreement! Once Melanie has
recovered, we'll never cross each other's paths again!
Lucas sneered, “Don't forget that you're at my mercy right now, Lucy. You have no freedom until I have
my fill of you.”
Whenever he thought of Einar, he'd feel enraged because the latter was the only person Lucy would
treat especially gently.
Meanwhile, inside the office, Gwendolyn's wounds had been tended to.
She had also woken up. “Thank you, Dr. Severin!”

Upon seeing Einar remove his gloves and wash his hands at the sink meticulously, she wondered if he
was a germaphobe.
“A friend of Lucy's is a friend of mine. There's no need to be so courteous, Ms. Ashton,” he uttered in a
deep, distant voice expressionlessly.
Thoughts swirled in Gwendolyn's mind. A doctor like him sure is quite memorable, especially
considering how handsome he is. No wonder Lucy can't get him out of her mind.
Lucy pushed Lucas aside and approached her friend. “How are you feeling, Gwen?”
“The anesthetic hasn't worn off yet, so my injury doesn't hurt.” Gwendolyn tried to put her friend at ease
with a smile, but her emotional pain was so great that she just couldn't.
After plopping down on the couch, Lucas glanced at the man washing his hands at the sink with
disdain.
Then, he asked, “What did Pat do, Gwen? Why are you hurt?”
His presence made Gwendolyn panic. Thus, she turned to Lucy and questioned, “Why is he here?”
Lucy hugged her to comfort her. “He won't tell Patrick about this. Don't worry.”

Speedily, she shot a warning glare at Lucas.
In response, he nodded noncommittally. My happy life has just started, so I'd prefer if Pat doesn't screw
things up for me. I also much rather not deal with an angry Lucy. Oh, Lucy. She smells so lovely, and
her body is just so sexy.
When his train of thought ended there, he smiled lustfully at Lucy.
Surprisingly, she understood his expression almost immediately. Hence, she glared at him, basically
telling him to behave himself.
After Einar was done washing his hands, he approached the others. “Ms. Ashton's fine, Luce. She only
needs to return here to change her dressing a week later. Her injury won't leave a scar.”
Due to how small the wound was, he only needed to perform one stitch.
“Thank you, Einar!” Lucy beamed at him.
As Gwendolyn watched them smiling at each other, she inadvertently remembered Patrick and sighed.
I can tell that these two probably have feelings for each other.
She then glanced at Lucas. I wonder how things would end up between him and Luce. Humans are
indeed powerless in the face of emotions. While I love Patrick, he may not feel the same. This is so
hard to deal with!
