When Chloe Grant finished checking and came out, full of anticipation, she found... Matthew Morgan was gone.
Waiting for her at the door was Lucas.
Maybe it was just too unexpected, so Chloe stood dumbfounded for a long time without reacting.
Lucas walked over, with an ice pack already prepared in his hand.
Matthew had used it on him before.
"Where’s Uncle Morgan?"
Chloe reacted and quickly asked.
"An urgent matter, he went to handle it," Lucas replied.
When he received the message and rushed over, Matthew Morgan had just left.
Upon hearing this, Chloe felt completely let down...
"Didn’t he promise me he would wait for me at the door?" Chloe mumbled.
Lucas didn’t hear clearly, "What did you say?"
"Huh? What?" Chloe shook her head, took the ice pack from Lucas’s hand, and rubbed it on her face herself.
She didn’t say much, just kept her head down and walked ahead.
The report from the check-up wouldn’t be available until the next day, so Lucas didn’t press further and followed Chloe.
He jogged up, "Chloe, I’m sorry... for the misunderstanding my family has about you."
Lucas felt very apologetic.
Chloe shook her head, looking distracted.
She was just very disappointed at the moment.
Clearly, she still had so much to say and hadn’t had time to tell him, why did he leave so quickly...
"I’ll go explain to the Grant family, this matter has nothing to do with you." Lucas promised.
"Mm." Chloe responded rather perfunctorily.
Exiting the hospital, Lucas led her to his car, "I’ll take you back first, then I’ll go to the Grant family."
Chloe sat in the passenger seat, rubbing her face, still looking quite absent-minded.
She seemed lost in thought... but when Lucas reached out to help fasten her seatbelt, Chloe snapped back to reality, grabbed the seatbelt, and buckled it herself. Chapters first released on NoveIＦire.net
Lucas looked at his empty palm, feeling a bit disheartened.
She... really was distancing herself from him.
Maybe, she was too wronged because of Lily Grant’s affairs.
Lucas thought this in his heart and also made up his mind to resolve the situation properly.
Since she was ten, the first time Chloe Grant saw Matthew Morgan, she was very afraid of him.
Even later when they were together day and night, Chloe prayed every day to see Matthew less, or better yet, not see him at all.
However, Chloe felt she had to see Matthew many times every day, which made her very conflicted.
She used to see him every day; now she found it very difficult to even see him once.
From being beaten by her father until now, it had been two days, yet Chloe had not seen Matthew even once.
Chloe even snuck around like a thief to his villa, almost being mistaken for a thief by the security guards.
Still couldn’t see him.
Wanting to see him just once, so hard.
Chloe felt aggrieved in her heart, sad and disappointed.
Now she sneaked to Matthew Morgan’s company again.
Chloe didn’t dare go in, because she knew that even if she went in, she still wouldn’t see him.
She just squatted at the door, hoping to get a glimpse when Matthew comes in and out...
And then, to Chloe’s surprise, she saw Sophia Fraser at the door of Matthew’s company.
She walked out of Matthew’s company, with a smile on her face, seemingly in a good mood.
Sophia Fraser glanced in Chloe’s direction, and Chloe instinctively hid.
And in the next second, Chloe’s phone rang...
