After Eight Years, She Left Me at the Altar for Her First Love의 모든 챕터: 챕터 361 - 챕터 370

Lucas must have been staring a little too openly, because a faint blush spread across Ivy’s cheeks.She casually tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and sat down beside him.“I kept calling, but you never answered. I was worried something had happened to you, so I had someone look into it. As soon as I found out you were at the hospital, I came straight over.”Lucas pulled out his phone and pressed the power button.The battery was dead.He immediately felt guilty.“So much happened today that I didn’t even notice my phone had died. I’m sorry I made you worry.”Ivy’s voice softened.“I’ve heard most of what happened with the Owen family. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. Take things one step at a time. I’ll be here with you.”Then she noticed how pale he looked, and her brows drew together.Without hesitation, she took off the scarf around her neck and carefully wrapped it around his.“Keep this on. It gets really cold at night. I don’t want you getting sick.”The

Ivy stayed with Lucas through the first half of the night.They had originally planned to spend the evening at home together over a holiday dinner, but after everything that had happened, neither of them felt much like celebrating.They still had to eat, though, so they ordered takeout and ate on the bench outside Gina’s room.It was probably the saddest holiday dinner Ivy had ever had.By the time the food arrived, it was barely warm. The buffalo chicken had gone a little soggy, the Cajun fries were cold, and even the spicy slaw tasted bland.Normally, Ivy would have taken one bite and given up.Strangely, though, sitting there beside Lucas, she didn’t mind it nearly as much as she should have.If anything, the food almost seemed to taste better.Maybe even a little sweet.That was strange.Ivy picked up a piece of buffalo chicken and dropped it into Lucas’s takeout box.“Try this. Does it taste sweet to you?”The casual gesture caught Lucas off guard.He lowered his eyes

Haley waved a hand helplessly.“Let her go. She’s really heartbroken this time.”Cherrie carried the first-aid kit back to her room in a daze and locked the door behind her.A blast of cold air swept in through the window, making her shiver.That cleared her head a little.She looked toward the wide-open window and frowned.She could have sworn she had closed it before leaving earlier.So why was it open now?Too distracted to give it much thought, Cherrie walked over, shut the window, and pulled the curtains closed.With only a small bedside lamp on, the room immediately grew dim.She set the first-aid kit on the table, kicked off her shoes, and climbed into bed.Her head was still a mess.She didn’t want to think about anything anymore. All she wanted was to sleep and hope that by the time she woke up, her father would have found out something about Ethan.Cherrie lifted the comforter and crawled underneath.Her bed was large, and out of habit, she rolled toward the oth

“Thank you, Zoe,” Lucas said sincerely. “I owe you one.”Zoe studied him for a moment, then shook her head.“You don’t owe me anything. Back when I was trying to help Fiona win you back, I did plenty of things that made you uncomfortable. Consider this my way of making up for some of that.”The mention of the past left Lucas with mixed feelings.He had resented Zoe before for helping Fiona interfere in his life, and for a while, their relationship had been strained to the breaking point.But now that he had come to her for help, she had not turned him away.She was even willing to speak to Fiona on his behalf.For that, Lucas was grateful.But that was as far as it went.He thanked her once more before leaving.Zoe watched him go and let out a quiet sigh.Hopefully, once this was over, there would truly be nothing left tying Lucas and Fiona together.After leaving the Shaw family’s private hospital, Lucas returned to Jasper City General Hospital.Ivy had arranged for peopl

Something about Miles had changed since he woke up.He seemed calmer and more guarded than before, revealing almost nothing through his expression.Even standing right in front of him and watching him closely, Lucas couldn’t tell what Miles was thinking.That made him seem even more dangerous.Lucas forced down his anger.“Miles, whatever you’re planning, I’m not agreeing to your terms.”Miles sighed as though he were genuinely trying to reason with him.“Lucas, don’t be so quick to say no.“You know Grandma can’t afford to wait much longer for treatment.”He tilted his head slightly.“Unless you don’t actually care whether she gets better.“You just stood there accusing me of being ungrateful and heartless. Fine. What about you?“If Grandma really matters that much to you, then give up your place in the Owen family. Do that, and she gets the treatment she needs.”His smile turned mocking.“But you won’t, will you?“You’re holding on to your place in this family just as
