“You’d better not let me catch you, or you’re done for!”
Hearing Lucas’s voice at this moment made me want to laugh. How much did Lucas care about Sophia to come to the hospital himself so late at night to look for me?
A flashlight beam shone over, and a security guard shouted, “Miss Reed is here!”
The person behind me discreetly blocked the corpse, and then Lucas immediately ran over.
His action of hiding the body was completely unnecessary. The night was dark, he was standing behind a tree, and it wasn’t easy to see. Plus, Lucas only had eyes for me at that moment and paid no attention to anyone else.
He grabbed my hand without a word, the huge force making my wrist hurt.
“Aria, you’re getting more and more disobedient. Is it so hard to donate a kidney? It’s not like I’m asking for your life!” he yelled at me. “Sophia only has six months to live. She’s so gentle and kind, how can you bear not to save her?”
Saying this, he dragged me back to the ward.
Before leaving, looked back one last time.
In the moonlight, the man stood there with a cold expression, his gloomy gaze fixed on Lucas.
I couldn’t help but shudder.
Back in the ward, taking advantage of the fact that we were alone, I frantically said to Lucas, “Let’s leave this place, it’s dangerous!”
Lucas disgustedly pushed me away, and I hit the hospital bed.
“Aria, I’m warning you, don’t try these useless tricks. Do you think I’d believe your nonsense?”
“If you try to escape again, don’t blame me for breaking your legs!”
I stared blankly at the man before me. Judging from his expression, he was serious.
But just a month ago, he was holding my hand, planning how to celebrate our two–year anniversary.
Why could a person change so dramatically in just one month?
Just then, Sophia walked in gracefully, dressed in white.
As soon as she saw me, her eyes turned red.
“Miss Reed, it’s all my fault. If it weren’t for me, Lucas wouldn’t be angry with you. Does it hurt?”
She came forward, her hand stroking my forehead, but out of Lucas’s sight, she pressed down hard.
I cried out in pain and pushed her away at the same time.
“Ah!”
She screamed even louder than me. Lucas immediately bent down anxiously to help her up, then glared at me angrily.
“Aria, I really misjudged you before. You’re too vicious! How could I have been with a woman like you!”
With that, he picked up Sophia and carried her out of the ward.
Before leaving, he looked back at me coldly.
“Aria, if you behave and donate your kidney to Sophia, I’ll forgive you.”
“Otherwise, you know what will happen.”
Sophia’s health had been deteriorating recently, so she was also arranged to be hospitalized.
After she was admitted, Mrs. Sterling, whom I had only met once, came to the hospital for the first time ever.
Sophia’s bed was set up next to mine. Mrs. Sterling stroked Sophia’s hand, smiling brightly as she said, “Sophia, dear, get well soon and marry our Lucas.”
Sophia’s face turned red with embarrassment. “Auntie, don’t say that. Miss Reed is still here.”
Only then did Mrs. Sterling glance at me coldly, before turning back to Sophia with a complete change in attitude.
“Only a smart and beautiful girl like you is worthy of our Lucas. Don’t worry, the Sterling family only recognizes you as our daughter–in–law. I won’t bother with any other riffraff.”
I lowered my head silently. Since my phone had been taken away, I didn’t even have anything to distract myself with.
So the Sterling family wasn’t cold to everyone, it was just because I wasn’t their chosen one.
“Mom, what are you saying?” The door to the ward opened, and a voice sounded in front of me. “The important thing now is to cure Sophia. I won’t be with such a vicious woman anyway.”
As he spoke, I felt a gaze fall on me.
I looked up.
Two men were standing in front of me. One was Lucas, and the other…
I looked over, but after meeting his eyes, my pupils contracted, and my body began to tremble uncontrollably,
“I want to leave. I want to leave right now!”

I pulled back the covers, intending to leave, but Lucas, thinking I didn’t want to donate my kidney to Sophia, forcefully pushed me back onto the bed.
Because of Sophia’s worsening condition, Lucas had been quite anxious these past few days.
“Alright, doctor, do an examination. If there’s no problem, arrange the surgery as soon as possible,” Lucas said to the man beside him.
The man’s eyes swept over me with an ambiguous smile, and after finishing my examination, he went outside to talk with Lucas.
Mrs. Sterling also left, reminding Sophia to call her after the surgery so she could come
