When Luana heard Sidney's words, she felt insulted, while Eva was filled with fear.

Eva quickly stepped forward, blocking Luana and apologizing on her behalf, "Miss Preston, this patient didn't know who you were, which is why she spoke to you like that. I'm really sorry. Please, just let her go."

Eva's submissive pleading made Luana feel even more guilty, and she started to say, "Eva..."

She wanted to tell her not to lower herself for her sake, but Eva interrupted her, "Miss, you're just here to see me for treatment. We're not close. If you say anything else that upsets Miss Preston, I won't treat you anymore!"

Eva was trying to distance herself from Luana, seemingly to protect her.

Luana understood her intentions and kept quiet.

Although she thought the woman in front of her was too arrogant, Eva seemed terrified of her. To avoid causing more trouble for Eva, Luana gritted her teeth and endured it.

Seeing this, Sidney's lips curled i

    After getting some anti-inflammatory and pain-relief medicine from the nurse, Luana returned.She pushed open the door to the dean's office just in time to see Gath pinning Eva against the wall. Luana froze for a moment before quickly backing out and closing the door behind her.She sat down on a chair outside, propping her chin on her hand, her mind racing but unable to make sense of the tangled relationships between them.Inside the dean's office, Eva had regained her composure the moment she saw Luana. She forcefully pushed Gath away."Stay away from me..."Gath, pushed back, straightened his disheveled clothes but kept his eyes fixed on Eva."Does it hurt?" he asked, touching the swollen cheek where she had been slapped, though his eyes held a mocking smile."I thought you'd be quite capable after leaving the Tittlington family, but it turns out you've just latched onto Cline. Though the price seems a bit too high."Eva was

    When she saw Gath come out with an angry look on his face, completely different from the cheerful appearance she had seen before, it seemed as if there was a deep-seated hatred between them.Luana did not ask about their relationship, pretending to know nothing, and took out the swelling-reducing medicine to give it to Eva."Eva, apply this. You're so beautiful. You don't want to be scared, do you?" Seeing the injury on Eva's face, Luana felt guilty, as if she were the reason Eva got hit."Thank you," Eva accepted the swelling-reducing patch and applied it to her face, then looked at Luana, who was pretending nothing had happened."You know Gath, don't you?" Eva thought that since Luana and Calvert seemed to have a good relationship, and Gath was Calvert's friend, Luana must know him.Luana nodded but did not ask any more questions.Eva, however, did not mind and openly said, "He's like my brother, but without blood ties. However... the grudges between us run deep."As for how deep th

    The entrance of the mall was crowded with people coming and going.If someone took a photo or a video, it might harm Luana's reputation.Although the Moriarty family had enough PR skills to deal with the public opinion, it was better not to cause trouble.Thinking of this, Sidney immediately withdrew her hand and gave a signal to the bodyguards behind her.The bodyguards quickly took out a handkerchief, covered Luana's mouth with it, and dragged her towards the restroom.Luana was almost thrown into the toilet stall by the bodyguards. They didn't give her a chance to escape and pinned her down tightly.Sidney and Runa walked in gracefully in high heels.They looked down at Luana as if they were symbols of power."Sidney, is she the one who disrespected you at the hospital?" Runa asked."Yes, she dared to mock me and even threatened to call the police on me. How dare she!" Sidney replied.Runa also glared at Luana fiercely."Luana, I didn't expect you to be so foolish. Do you want to d

    The man had a face with sharp angles, like it was chiseled out of stone, and eyes that were impossible to read.He wore a black suit that accentuated his lean and upright figure, exuding an aura as dazzling as the stars yet tinged with melancholy.After steadying Runa, he didn't immediately remove his hand from her waist. Instead, he looked down at Luana coldly."You dare to lay a hand on my fiancée? Who the fuck are you?"Luana's heart, which had been racing and nearly suffocating with tension, suddenly chilled at the man's indifferent voice.Drenched, with a swollen cheek and disheveled hair, she felt more humiliated by his words than by her appearance.She hugged her shivering arms, lowered her head, and stared lifelessly at her toes, awaiting judgment from these powerful, condescending people."Cline, what are you doing here?"Runa asked, surprised yet more shocked that Cline hadn't let go of her.Cline was always so busy handling affairs—why would he show up at a mall, and in the

    Cline stared coldly at Sidney, his face full of dissatisfaction."Cline, you used to... protect Valda like this too," Sidney said, eyeing him suspiciously up and down.In this world, the only person who could make him lose control of his emotions was Valda.Back then, he had stood up for Valda just like this, even going to any lengths to defend her!Sidney's words hit a sore spot for Cline, making his expression even darker and more irritable."What do you want to get out of this?""I want her dead! Either that, or sell her to a club and make her life a living hell! Otherwise, I'll tell Auntie that you have a special relationship with her!"Upon hearing this, Cline slightly tilted his head and reluctantly slapped Luana.The moment the slap landed, Luana, who was unprepared, lost her balance and fell straight backward—This time, she wasn't so lucky. There was a nail where she fell, which pierced right into the back

    Clarissa, Clarissa…Luana heard Clarissa's crying voice in a daze. The sound tugged at her heart, making it impossible for her to keep going.She stood in the mist, slowly turning her head, just in time to see Clarissa running toward her."Luana, don't leave. Come back. I still have so much to tell you…"Luana opened her mouth to respond to Clarissa, but no sound came out.Then, fresh oxygen flowed in, easing her suffocated heart.Gradually, the mist dissipated and Clarissa vanished. Luana fell into a deep coma."Dr. Woodward, her heart has started beating again!""Hurry, keep her on oxygen!"Eva saw the flickering data on the ECG monitor and felt her legs go weak.This was the first time she had been so anxious about a patient, fearing that she might die.Her hands were still trembling, too weak to even lift."Dr. Roffe , how's the situation with the back of her head?"Dr. Roffe

    Eva saw that she couldn't hide the truth anymore, so she told Clarissa what had happened, but she didn't mention the heart failure, only saying that Luana was in a coma.Hearing that Luana was in a coma, Clarissa nearly lost her balance and fell.She steadied herself against the door frame and said in a trembling voice, "Dr. Woodward, please tell me the address of the hospital..."Eva gave Clarissa the address and tried to calm her down. "Don't worry, she's in my hospital and I'll keep an eye on her. You should prepare some clothes for her to change into. She'll probably need to be hospitalized for a while."Eva's calm voice gave Clarissa some strength.She steadied herself, thanked Eva, and hung up the phone. Then she stumbled into Luana's bedroom.She quickly packed a few pieces of clothing, grabbed some toiletries, and hurriedly drove to the hospital.Eva was in the middle of giving Luana a detailed examination when she saw Clariss

    After speaking, Eva gave Clarissa a gentle smile, which temporarily relieved Clarissa of her worries and shifted her focus to Luana.Seeing Luana sweating from pain in her coma, Clarissa felt heartbroken and quickly took out a towel to wipe her sweat.After finishing, she turned to Eva and asked nervously, "Dr. Woodward, is Luana's heart okay?"Luana had congenital heart disease and had to be very careful in her daily life.Being beaten into a coma could have caused damage to her heart, just like how she had become weaker after being kicked before. Clarissa was very worried about this.Eva glanced at Clarissa, unsure of how to respond.As a doctor, she should tell the patient's family about such a life-or-death issue.But without the patient's consent, she didn't feel right making the decision.Moreover, seeing Clarissa's worried face, she was afraid that Clarissa wouldn't be able to handle it.After thinking for a while

    "Does it hurt?" Luana silently asked herself.Once, she had known pain—excruciating, soul-crushing agony that had left her curled on a cold floor, voiceless and desperate.It had been a pain that stripped away all hope in this man before her, eroding her very will to live. It had been so severe that even in her final moments, when she'd longed for a glimpse of him, he'd refused even a phone call.That pain was no mere physical wound. It was a despair that seeped into her very being.It was after enduring such torment that she had finally seen Cline for what he truly was—a man utterly ruthless toward her.Yet now, here he was, holding her and asking if she hurt. The irony was bitter, almost laughable.With a cold, expressionless face, she said, "The five minutes are up. Let me go."But Cline, who had finally held the person he'd obsessed over, had no intention of releasing her so easily.He held her tight and said, "

    Cline held tight to her arm, as if he'd never let go unless Luana gave him a chance to speak.Luana, brows furrowed, sighed and relented, "Five minutes, right here."Cline's cold gaze shifted to Dorian, who shot him a glare before turning to Luana."Five minutes, then home," Dorian warned.Luana nodded meekly, "Okay."Only after Dorian strode into the villa did Luana turn to Cline, her voice cool and impatient."Well?"In Dorian's presence, Luana had been the picture of obedience, just as she used to be with him.Now, though, Cline saw a change in her—calm, distant, and edged with impatience.This new version of Luana only deepened the ache in his chest.He longed to reach out, to brush his fingers against her face, but as his hand rose, she flinched violently, stepping back as if struck.Luana stared at Cline's right hand, her pupils suddenly clouded with fear, as if the ghosts of past trauma had res

    Luana nodded in agreement and turned toward the stairs.But after just two steps, she froze, her fingers brushing the banister.Slowly, she turned back, her voice hesitant. "Clarissa, I came back as Dorothy... What about Gehrmann?"Clarissa had guessed that Luana had returned as her sister Dorothy the moment she heard Dorian call her by that name.Clarissa's smile was warm, reassuring. "I won't say a word to him or Cline. Your secret's safe."Relief flickered in Luana's eyes. "Thank you," she whispered, the word soft as a feather.As Luana walked away, Clarissa watched her retreating figure, worry knotting her brow."Is this luck or a curse?" she thought, "Leaving Cline only to be trapped by Dorian."At the car, Luana opened the passenger door and slid in."Home at ten seems early," she ventured, her tone tentative.Dorian glanced over, his indifference palpable. "Make it eight, then."Luana's lips twitched

    Clarissa watched Luana's fingers tighten around the phone until her knuckles whitened. "When I first saw those messages flooding in, I tried luring him out myself—posed as you, planned to bring the cops. But instead of catching a creep, I got..."She trailed off, the memory of the man in the café still prickling her nerves.A man as cold and heartless as Cline—why would he cling to memories of Luana like this?"Anyway," she shrugged, "he never showed. Guess some ghosts stay buried."Luana's voice was a whisper. "These things... they should've been my fight. Not yours."Clarissa cut her off, "If it were me in this mess, you'd do the same. So quit with the thanks already."Luana nodded meekly, her lashes drooping as she glanced back at the phone screen.The mystery gnawed at her—Mr. Night's messages reeked of obsession, yet he hid in plain sight. Why?She couldn't fathom it, and frankly, didn't care

    "I had no choice but to pull a dumb move—I seduced Gehrmann and took Naomi's spot as his bedwarmer," Clarissa said flatly, her voice echoing off the brick walls."I thought I could use him to get back at Cline. Turns out I was dumber than a bag of hammers—Gehrmann wouldn't lift a finger against Cline for any woman." She kicked at a pebble, watching it skitter into the shadows. "By the time I figured that out, he wouldn't let me walk away."Clarissa shifted her weight, catching Luana's profile in the dim light."But don't you worry, Luana. I ain't falling for Gehrmann's charm. This world's got exactly one good man left—Albion. And he's six feet under."So, I won't be that girl anymore—the one who pours her heart out for every little kindness, even when it's not worth it."Mentioning Albion again made Luana's eyes dim as if the light behind them had been switched off.She lowered her lashes, hiding the sorrow pooling th

    Third Person's POVLuana tightly embraced Clarissa, hoping to alleviate her pain.Clarissa, however, patted her back with a smile and said, "It's alright. After finding out the truth, I was devastated for a while, but then I pulled myself together. I installed surveillance cameras and recorded every moment of their infidelity, which I sent to my lawyer."I won the lawsuit, but I couldn't get the house back. I could only recover the mortgage payments, the money I spent on him, and compensation for emotional distress..."However, what I didn't expect was that someone would expose Albert's bigamy online, ruining his reputation. His company fired him, and no other major firms would hire him. As far as I know, his current salary isn't even enough to cover the mortgage. Plus, his mother has cancer, which is why he keeps begging at my door."Clarissa's voice turned cold as she continued, "He thinks I'm still the naive woman I once was, that if he kneels a

    Clarissa took a deep breath, opened the bedside table, and took out a marriage certificate, handing it to Luana."You two weren't entirely meant to miss each other. At least he kept his promise from when you were young and married you."Seeing the marriage certificate, Luana's eyes welled up.She reached out and slowly unfolded it...Name: LuanaName: AlbionBeside them was a composite photo of the two, dressed in white shirts, with a red background, their faces beaming with happiness.When Luana was eighteen, she had asked Albion, "When are you going to marry me?"Albion, engrossed in a book at the time, looked up and playfully tapped her nose with his pen, saying, "When I'm capable of giving you happiness."Luana pouted, dissatisfied, "But when will that be?"Albion held up his book and replied, "After I've mastered all this knowledge and become someone worthy, then I'll marry you."Luana rested her chin

    Last time, it was her negligence that failed to keep Albion by her side. This time, she was determined to do everything in her power to protect Luana.Clarissa raised her hand and gently patted Luana's shoulder, hoping to offer some warmth.Time ticked by, and they remained in the same position until a man in a gray suit approached.Clarissa looked up at him, noticing his gaze fixed on Luana, and her tension grew.Before she could inquire about his identity, the man stepped forward and gently pushed Luana's head with his slender fingers."It's ten o'clock. It's time to go home..."Luana, recognizing Dorian's voice, didn't lift her head, her lifeless eyes fixed on the floor.Dorian frowned at her silence, then bent down slightly and spoke patiently, "Dorothy, come home with me."Luana raised her weary head and said, "I don't want to go home today..."She wanted to stay and support Clarissa, to quietly live for herself for

    She couldn't believe it. Even with the news reports and Clarissa's own words, she still refused to accept it.Albion, the gentle and considerate young man who had cherished her, how could he have taken his own life in such a tragic way? It was impossible.Luana shook her head in disbelief. "No, he wouldn't do this..."Clarissa stepped forward and embraced Luana. She felt Luana's body growing cold, and her heart ached."Luana, I don't want to believe it either, but..."Clarissa's words trailed off, tears streaming down her face.Three years ago, fearing Albion might do something rash, she had followed him to the cemetery.There, she found no sign of Albion, only bloodstains on the tombstone.Her unease grew as she searched for him, but he was nowhere to be found.The next day, the news reported that Coburn Group's CEO, Calvert, had committed suicide at the cemetery.Only then did she realize Albion had truly done s
