Chapter 365
Aveline struggled more fiercely, not wanting to stay in this position or be so close to him.
He wasn’t Lu!
The moment he regained his memories, Lu was gone!
Her eyes grew hot, and her voice trembled. “Lucas, get up.
Lucas sensed something was off in her tone. He raised his head to look at her, his fingers brushing her tears away gently.
“Ave, you’re crying.”
His voice was deep and gentle, making Aveline momentarily feel as if they were back six months ago.
Just that one sentence shattered the hard walls she had built around her heart, and her emotions
surged forth, tears streaming uncontrollably.
Lucas visibly panicked, bending down to kiss away each tear with extreme tenderness.
Taking advantage of the moment, Aveline shoved him away and dashed to the bedroom!
She locked the door, her heartbeat thundering in her ears!
Leaning against the door, she panted heavily, tears still falling. She quickly went to the bathroom to splash her face with cold water, trying to calm herself down.
She had to stay calm.
He wasn’t Lu.
He had killed her Lu.
The sound of knocking came, and Lucas‘ pleasant voice followed, “Ave, open the door.”
Aveline didn’t respond, her emotions now steady.
“Ave.”
Lucas called her name repeatedly, his deep, magnetic voice tender and lingering.
Aveline exhaled a shaky breath and said, “Lucas, the bet isn’t over yet. Whatever you do now is
useless.”
The knocking stopped, and he didn’t call her name again.
Outside, she heard the sound of lighter flicking.
Separated by a door, neither could see the other’s expression.
After a moment of silence, Aveline said, “Lucas, go. I heed to rest.”
There was still no response from Lucas.

Aveline ignored it, got into bed, and drifted off to sleep, exhausted.
It seemed that Lucas had stirred something in her today, causing Aveline to dream.
She dreamt of the moment she found Lu.
He was wearing light–colored loungewear, looking bewildered and lost, somewhat thin but still stood tall by the roadside, not knowing which way to go,
She had originally walked past him.
