Wendy staggered forward at the hospital entrance. She held the Seventy Thousand Dollars she had received for selling her kidney. Her pale face carried a satisfied smile. That was enough to cure Lucas. She thought it was worthy to sell off her kidney for his life. She ignored her post-surgery weakness, and stumbled all the way to the hospital ward. Her heart ached even more as she looked at the frail man lying in bed. "Lucas, your lowly girlfriend is not around. Why put on a show?" "Shut up! I'm perfecting my acting. How else could I fool her?" A familiar, teasing voice came from inside. Wendy's hand froze on the door handle. What did he mean... by fooling her? Laughter and exclamations erupted from the room. "You're smart, Lucas! A fake medical report was all it took to make that woman believe you had cancer!" "I heard she handed over all her savings; all she had was only Eight Thousand Dollars!" "Eight Thousand Dollars? Lucas could simply spend more than that on a single bottle of liquor at the bar. Her money is worthless, yet she actually offers it."

"How is that possible? We've only been apart for half a month. We were happy for two whole years, weren't we?"He began listing all the memories they had shared desperately.However, to Wendy, every word he said only reminded her of how foolish she had been."Our so-called happiness was built on a lie."Lucas had no way to refute that.All he could do was look at her, his eyes filled with silent pleading.His voice trembled as he said, "Wendy, I know I'm in the wrong. It was my fault. I shouldn't have lied to you."But the things we went through together were real."Lucas' apology meant nothing to Wendy.She had given him everything.She had loved him with all she had, only to be used as a tool in his little game.From the moment she uncovered his deception, whatever love she had for him had already ended.She could never forgive a lie."Do you think such an apology is enough to cure the pain you put me through these past two years?" Her voice was steady, but every word st

Lucas immediately booked the earliest flight abroad when he learned Wendy's whereabouts.However, before he could board the plane, his father—face dark with anger—stopped him. Then, he slapped Lucas hard across the face."You ungrateful son! How much longer will you make a fool of yourself?"She's only an orphan with nothing to her name, and you canceled your engagement with the Coles for her?"I let you live like the poor and date that girl for two years to teach her a lesson, but that doesn't mean I will ever allow her into our family!"My daughter-in-law—whether she's from the Coles or not—must be of equal status to us!"Ethan's head snapped to the side from the force of the slap, a trace of blood appearing at the corner of his lips.Yet he stubbornly met his father's gaze."I will not marry Natelie. I will not marry anyone else. I only love Wendy!"His father's chest heaved with rage. He raised his cane and struck Ethan across the back."Ground him!"No matter how much E

Wendy had just come out of surgery. The bandages on her face blurred her vision as she reached out, trying to feel her way along the wall.Just then, a pair of strong hands extended toward her."Wendy, give me your hand. I'll lead the way."The voice belonged to Ethan Chapman, a senior in her university's exchange program. He had also been a student of Professor Wayson, just like her.They had worked in the same research lab back home, so they had known each other for some time.On her first day in England, he was the one who picked her up from the airport.He helped her settle in, walked her through campus, and even accompanied her to registration.Wendy smiled and placed her hand in his."I'm afraid I'll be a burden to you for a while," she joked.A faint flush crept up Ethan's ears, though he kept his face composed."Don't mention it. It's a senior's duty to take care of those who are new. Besides, Professor Wayson personally asked me to look after you. He'll scold me for
Left in Darkness Chapter 13
Two years ago, when the lie began, Lucas lived every day behind a mask. He hid his true self from Wendy, carefully maintaining his act.Even though the cramped, run-down apartment was smaller than his family's bathroom, he pretended to love it like it was home.Even though the clothes she carefully picked from discount sales were stiff and uncomfortable, he acted like they were his favorite.Even though he hated street food, he sat beside her, devouring greasy skewers and laughing like he had never tasted anything better.Over time, something strange happened.He got used to it.A life without wealth.A life filled with warmth instead of luxury.The tiny apartment felt more like home than his cold, empty mansion.The cheap, scratchy clothes carried a sincerity that no designer brand ever could.And without even realizing it, Lucas fell in love.It was not just with Wendy but with the life they shared.Yet, all of those were nothing but lies, and they were meant to be shatte
