Lahat ng Kabanata ng After Eight Years, She Left Me at the Altar for Her First Love: Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

At the Shaw estate, Mr. Zimmer’s face lit up the moment he saw Lucas following Fiona inside.“Ms. Shaw, you’re back!”“Lucas, you’re back too!”Lucas gave him a polite smile.Fiona went straight upstairs.“Come to the study.”Lucas pressed his lips together and followed her up the stairs.Inside the study, Fiona opened a drawer and took out a clear glass bottle. She handed it to him.“Take the medicine.”Lucas lowered his eyes and glanced at the bottle, but he didn’t take it.“I’m not taking it.”“Lucas, listen to me.” Fiona’s voice rose, carrying an unquestionable authority. “Take this, and everything that happened before will be wiped clean. We’ll get married right away.”Lucas almost laughed from sheer helplessness.Did Fiona even hear herself?He had made it painfully clear that he wanted to break up. How could she still talk about marriage as if nothing had happened?In the end, she had never taken his words seriously.In this relationship, he had always been the w

Lucas had very few things left at the Shaw estate. Everything fit into a single plastic bag.He picked it up and was just about to leave when a sudden heat surged through his lower abdomen.It was as if someone had lit a wildfire inside him. The heat spread through his body, burning through him until he could barely stand it. His body desperately searched for an outlet.The feeling was far too familiar.In a flash, he thought back to the dinner he had just eaten.Fiona had drugged the food.There was no time to think. He stumbled into the bathroom.Leaning over the toilet, he forced himself to throw up.Fortunately, he hadn’t eaten long ago, and most of the food came back up.A foul smell instantly filled the air.Cold sweat covered Lucas’s forehead. He pressed the flush button.Water rushed through the toilet.His body had almost no strength left. He barely managed to move to the sink.He splashed cold water on his face again and again, trying to clear his head.He could

Everything happened too fast.It took Fiona more than ten seconds to process what had just happened.“Lucas? Lucas!”Lucas lay unconscious on the bed, his face pale. The sight of the blood on his forehead stung Fiona’s eyes.Trembling, she scrambled off the bed and used the landline on the table to call the family doctor.At the same time, a crushing sense of helplessness rose inside her.The wound on her arm seemed to mock her arrogance tonight.Everything had gone out of control.Lucas truly didn’t want to come back to her.He had gone that far just to avoid being with her.Fiona’s brows twitched sharply.For the first time, she realized something with painful clarity.Maybe Lucas didn’t love her anymore.But all she had done was cancel the wedding.How had things gotten this bad?She truly could not understand.When Lucas woke up, he found himself in the Shaw family’s private hospital.Mr. Zimmer was beside him, taking care of him.The moment Mr. Zimmer saw him wak

At Nightfall Bar, the music was deafening.On the dance floor, men and women pressed close together, moving to the beat and losing themselves in the heat of the night.Fiona sat alone at the bar, drinking one glass after another. Several empty glasses were already lined up in front of her.A number of men hovered nearby, clearly tempted to approach her. But her cold, unapproachable aura made them hesitate.“If Lucas knew you were drinking like this, he’d never let you hear the end of it.”A soft, pleasant female voice sounded beside her.Fiona paused with her glass halfway to her lips as a shadow fell over her.She turned and smiled faintly at the woman beside her.“Yvette, you’re here.”Yvette Grant was the heiress of Grant Corporation. The Grants and the Shaws had been family friends for generations, and Yvette was also Fiona’s closest friend.Unlike Fiona’s cool, distant elegance, Yvette was bright, charming, and effortlessly flirtatious. She knew how to have fun better th

“Lucas may seem soft-tempered, but deep down, he’s prouder than anyone.”Yvette rarely sounded this serious.“Fiona, don’t blame me for being honest, but I really don’t see this relationship working out. If you don’t want to end up hurt even worse, you should walk away now.”“I didn’t call you here so you could make me feel worse.”Fiona set a glass down heavily in front of her.“Stop talking. Drink.”Yvette had said everything she could, so she didn’t push any further. She picked up the glass and drained it in one go.Fiona kept drinking too, one glass after another.She wanted to numb her mind, which was far too clear.Maybe in everyone else’s eyes, Lucas’s background and status were not good enough for her.But only she knew what kind of man Lucas really was.He was patient, gentle, and considerate. He had given her his whole heart. His eyes had always been on her and only her.Most importantly, he had been willing to step into the background and become the man behind he
