"Lucas, slow down, you’re hurting me... Lucas..."
Lily Grant was passively dragged along by Lucas Morgan.
Lucas Morgan, who was walking ahead, seemed not to hear her, his face stern, walking faster and faster...
"Lucas, my stomach hurts!" Lily suddenly shouted.
Lucas’s expression suddenly changed as if he realized something. He quickly let go of Lily’s hand and turned back to look at her nervously, "Are you okay?"
Lily squatted down, clutching her stomach, looking at Lucas with a wounded expression, "Are you angry?"
"Did I say something wrong earlier? I... I’m a bit blunt sometimes and may not pay attention to what I say. Did I say something wrong just now?"
As she spoke, tears began to fall.
Lucas sighed and pulled her into a hug, "It’s okay, I was just too agitated."
After comforting her for a while, Lucas helped Lily to stand up.
"I’m just... just very sad. I was so close to Chloe, and now it’s like I’m considered an enemy." Lily said softly, glancing up at Lucas, then continued, "I know, you’re also feeling bad. You used to have a good relationship with Chloe, but now..."
Lucas, already feeling irritable, felt even more so by Lily’s words.
"She has amnesia now, you know."
Whether he was comforting Lily or himself with those words, it wasn’t clear.
"I’ll take you to the hospital for a check-up." Lucas took Lily’s hand and headed toward the garage.
With Lucas and Lily gone, Chloe Grant was still quite happy, though she didn’t move her chair, staying close to Matthew Morgan.
"Matthew, I want that shrimp." Chloe glanced at a plate of marinated shrimp that was a bit far from her.
Matthew, with his long arms, easily reached it, then put it in his bowl and peeled it for Chloe.
After peeling, he fed it to her.
Chloe opened her mouth and bit into it, happily chewing.
Before she finished, Matthew peeled another one and fed it to her.
"And that... little lobster."
"Oh, that thing, whatever it’s called, is good too."
By the end of the meal, Chloe had eaten to her heart’s content, relying solely on her mouth.
Feeling her slightly bulging stomach, Chloe smiled sweetly.
She turned her head, looking at Matthew sitting next to her, had a sudden idea, and leaned over to quickly plant a kiss on Matthew’s cheek.
It was totally like someone who’d done something mischievous.
Matthew was a bit surprised, glanced back at her.
His expression was gentle, reaching out, resting a hand on Chloe’s shoulder, squeezing her face.
Chloe tilted her head, gave him a look.
Matthew lowered his head, his gaze soft.
Chloe bit her lip, "Matthew..."
Matthew looked visibly surprised, staring at Chloe...
Chloe couldn’t bear to look at him, quickly lowering her head, her hands cupping her flushed face...
Seeing Matthew not responding for ages, Chloe peeked up... noticing Matthew watching her... hurriedly looked down again.
In the end, she really couldn’t bear it...
"Oh, don’t look at me like that..." Chloe slyly pushed, "I just want you to kiss me..."
