  The sound of keys turning came from outside the door. Gloria quickly packed everything up, wiped his tears, and turned to walk out of the bedroom.

  Patrick walked to the bar counter with a shopping bag in his hands. "The beef is so good today. I picked some and brought you breakfast. Gloria, go wash up and sit down to eat."

  As he spoke, he placed the bag next to the sink, which was filled with many kinds of food. Patrick rolled up his sleeves in front of the sink and started to wash the vegetables.

  Gloria's hands were hanging by her side, behind her back. She clenched her fists so hard that the nails sank deep into her tender palms.

  She raised her head only to see that outside the balcony, the windows had already been equipped with bars, enveloping the large room.

  There was wind blowing, but she felt suffocating.

  Gloria did as she was told silently. He asked her to go wash up and then have breakfast.

  She went to wash up and then sat

  • Rejected, But Trapped By The Alpha King   Chapter 558

    Luana called him "Professor Atkinson" when she was in a good mood, and just "Erasmus" when she was annoyed. He was long used to it.In his opinion, Luana hadn't mastered the fundamental theories. It was impossible for her to produce anything decent.But he reached out and took the sketches anyway. The moment he saw the drawings, his expression froze instantly. A flash of shock and admiration crossed his eyes."You drew this?!"He immediately uncrossed his legs. He stood up abruptly and grabbed Luana's injured arm.Luana gasped in pain. She shoved him away. She held her arm, fighting the ache, and nodded at him.Erasmus stared at Luana in disbelief. He looked back at the sketches. The more he looked, the more impressed he became."I thought that after your sister died, I'd never find anyone with her kind of talent again. I didn't expect you to..."He suddenly remembered how he'd been mocking Luana for being "untalented." He imme

    Clarissa was about to say that wouldn't work—she'd already tried it three years ago. Luana cut in, "He knows I'm alive, so he's definitely coming back for me. We can't just sit here playing defense; we need to bait him."Thinking fast, Luana put down her fork. She took out her phone and opened her contacts.She unblocked Mr. Night, logged into Messenger, found his friend request, and accepted it.She stared at his profile picture. After a moment's thought, she started typing."Mr. Night, since you know I'm alive, how about we set up a time to meet and clear things up?"Luana's message was simple and direct—just a request to meet.Knowing Mr. Night, he would definitely guess she was trying to set a trap.But since he was obsessed with her, he would likely agree just for the chance to see her.Luana's plan was clear: If he agreed, she'd call the cops immediately. She figured if they showed up with the police, there wa

    Erasmus let out a breath. He looked back at Luana's pale face. When he saw her arm was still bleeding, he frowned slightly."Your old wounds just healed, and now you have a new one. Your luck is truly TERRIBLE. Your life is dramatic enough."Luana was used to his sarcasm. She just covered her wound and kept quiet.Erasmus loosened his grip on the steering wheel. He opened the glove compartment. He took out a small adhesive bandage and handed it to her."Here. Use this patch for now."Luana looked at the wound on her arm. Then she looked at the small bandage he offered. She felt a sudden sense of helplessness."Erasmus, you really are exactly like Dorian."After three months, Luana knew Erasmus was Dorian's student. They didn't just share a similar design style; their personalities were practically identical.Erasmus heard that. He broke into a perfectly symmetrical smile. He said stiffly, "Thanks."Luana rolled her eyes

    She bit down with all her might, like a wild animal latching onto prey, causing the man's arm to bleed profusely and his flesh to look ragged and raw."Ouch! It hurts!"The man screamed in pain. He reached up and yanked her hair, trying to pull her off, but she held on tight, biting as if she meant to kill him right there.That man seemed completely unprepared for her fierce resistance. He immediately took the small knife in his hand and stabbed her arm.The moment the sharp blade broke her skin, Luana subconsciously loosened her grip.As soon as she let go, the injured man immediately yanked her hair and pulled her away.He fought through the intense pain and raised his free hand to slap her, but that Mr. Night stopped him.He still didn't say a word. He grabbed Luana's arm and dragged her toward his own car.Luana refused to go with him. She struggled desperately, trying to stall for time until Clarissa returned to the garage

    Time flew by. The day of the skin graft surgery arrived quickly.Even though Elena viewed Luana as a rival, her professional ethics and skill were excellent. She didn't sabotage Luana at all during the procedure.To ease Luana's pain, she even used expensive medicine during the post-op care.Luana stayed in the hospital bed for another two months. After surviving countless sessions of extreme pain, her body finally started recovering.On the day she was discharged, Luana stood in front of the bathroom mirror. She turned sideways to look at her back.She still had some scars, but most of the skin had healed pretty well. It wasn't as shocking to look at as before.She was satisfied with the result. She turned on the faucet to wash her hands, then walked out of the bathroom.Clarissa was packing the luggage. She saw Luana come out and asked, "Do you want to take the clothes in the closet with us?"Luana looked at the rows of men's

    Eva walked over. She opened the door. When she saw the person outside, Eva froze for a second. Then a joyful smile spread across her face."Dr. Elena!"Elena wore a white women's suit. Her bright, pretty face held an elegant, poised smile."Dr. Woodward, I heard you have a patient with severe acid burns on her back. I came to see if I could help.""That is WONDERFUL! I've been trying to call you constantly, but couldn't get through. I can't believe you came to our hospital on your own."Compared to Eva's excitement, Elena seemed quite calm. "Take me to see the patient first."Eva nodded gently. She led Elena into the room.Eva was about to introduce Elena to Luana. But Elena walked straight to Luana. She held out her pale hand."Miss Hammond, hello. I'm Elena."Luana and Clarissa were both stunned. Eva was confused too. How did Elena know Luana?Out of politeness, Luana reached out. She briefly shook Elena's hand.
