《After Eight Years, She Left Me at the Altar for Her First Love》全部章節：第 171 章 - 第 180 章

Fiona’s eyes were closed, her brows drawn tight, as if even sleep gave her no peace.Lucas remembered the figure who had broken through the door before he lost consciousness.So it hadn’t been a hallucination.Fiona really had saved him.Just then, the hospital room door opened, and a doctor in a white coat walked in.The sound immediately woke Fiona, who had only been sleeping lightly.She jolted awake and sat up, only to meet Lucas’s complicated gaze.When she saw that he was awake, joy flashed across her face.“Lucas, you’re awake!”Then she asked urgently, “How do you feel? Does anything hurt? Are you dizzy? Does your chest hurt?”Before Lucas could answer, she pulled the doctor to the bedside.“Doctor, please check on him.”The doctor looked a little speechless, but still examined Lucas carefully.After the checkup, he said in surprise, “Other than slightly low blood pressure and general weakness, the patient doesn’t seem to have any other major symptoms. For someone

Although they still didn’t know why Nina had done it, Fiona couldn’t wait any longer.She said firmly, “For now, just focus on recovering here. Once you’re better, you’re coming back to the Shaw estate with me. And quit the bodyguard job. I’ll talk to Ivy Quinn.“As for Nina, don’t worry. I’ll call the police and have people investigate her. I’ll make sure we find her.”Lucas almost laughed out of anger at her commanding tone.His expression hardened, and his voice turned colder.“Fiona, can you stop interfering in my life? I’ll investigate Nina myself. And I’m not quitting my job.”“Lucas, this is a matter of life and death. Can you stop being so stubborn?”Fiona’s voice was full of anger and frustration.“Nina tried to kill you. Do you really think Ivy is any safer? She’s using you as a shield. You’re her bodyguard, and she’s offended so many people. When those people come after her, you’ll be the first one in their way. How many lives do you think you have? Do you really thi

Early the next morning, Lucas was woken by the sharp ring of his phone.He had slept through the entire night without even dreaming.When he answered, his head was still foggy.Ivy’s voice came through the line.“Lucas, why aren’t you back yet? I called you several times, but you didn’t pick up. Did something happen?”There was the faintest hint of worry in her voice.Lucas didn’t notice.He glanced at his phone and saw several missed calls.Apparently, he had been sleeping so deeply that he hadn’t heard them.“Ms. Quinn, I probably won’t be able to come back for the next few days. I’m in the hospital right now.”“The hospital? You’re hurt?” Ivy’s voice rose slightly. “Which hospital? I’ll come see you.”Lucas quickly refused.“No, that’s really not necessary. It’s just a minor injury. I’ll be fine soon.”Ever since the last gala, he could tell that Ivy and Fiona didn’t get along.If the two of them ran into each other at the hospital, there was no telling what kind of sc

Fiona returned to the room next door, feeling as if something were lodged in her chest, making it hard to breathe.She desperately needed someone to talk to.So she called Zoe.It was still early, before Zoe had even gone to work, so the call connected quickly.Zoe sounded surprised. “Fiona? Why are you calling me?”Lately, Fiona had thrown herself completely into work, as if that could heal her broken heart. She hadn’t contacted Zoe at all.Zoe knew what she was like, so she hadn’t bothered her.She hadn’t expected to get a call from Fiona so early in the morning.Fiona’s voice was bitter. “Zoe, I’m at the hospital taking care of Lucas right now. What do I have to do to make him forgive me for everything I did before?”Zoe froze.“What? You’re involved with Lucas again?”Silently, Zoe said a prayer for Lucas.Fiona was the kind of person who wouldn’t stop until she got what she wanted.Now that Lucas had been pulled back into her orbit, getting away from her wouldn’t be e

“Fiona, you don’t need to change for me. Just treat me the way you used to. Look down on me, ignore me, and leave me alone. That would be best.”As Fiona listened to his cold, distant words, the light in her eyes slowly faded.Her heart twisted painfully in her chest.She had swallowed her pride.She had lowered herself and apologized to Lucas.But he still rejected her.Was he doing this on purpose?Was he trying to get revenge for the past by watching her humble herself in front of him?Or had he truly stopped loving her, so even her apology meant nothing to him now?The moment that possibility crossed her mind, the madness inside her almost broke free.She lifted her head and shot Mr. Grant a murderous look.Mr. Grant’s heart skipped at the look in her eyes.“Are you refusing to accept my apology because of Ms. Quinn?” Fiona asked. “Have you fallen for her?”A deep sense of exhaustion came over Lucas.Fiona was always like this.She never looked for the problem in her
