Chapter 1274
Meanwhile, Aubree recuperated at the hospital for two whole days before the condition of her arm finally took a turn for the better.
Learning that her daughter had been injured, Gina rushed to the hospital early in the morning.
“What’s going on here? How’s your injury? Are you feeling better? And why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
At the sight of Aubree in a hospital gown, anguish marred Gina’s features.
Aubree shook her head woodenly, her voice hoarse. “I’m fine. My injury has already healed, so it wouldn’t do me any good to tell you.”
In the past two days, she had been helpless to do anything because of her injured arm. When she was awake, she spent most of the time in tears.
It was precisely for that reason that she didn’t want her parents to come over.
Only when Gina heard her voice did she notice that her daughter had seemingly been crying. On a closer look, she saw that Aubree’s face was horribly puffy.
In a flash, her heart sank. “What happened? Why did you cry so much? And who picked on you?”
At the mention of that, tears inexorably welled up in Aubree’s eyes once more.
Before her mother, the grievances within her surged to the forefront.
“Hey, what happened that you can’t tell me? Don’t bottle it up!”
Gina anxiously sat down beside the hospital bed.
At long last, Aubree snapped and threw herself into her mother’s arms, wailing, “Mom, Lucian… Lucian wants to call off our engagement!”
The instant Gina heard that, her expression froze. She gaped at her daughter in her arms. “What did you just say?”
In a choked voice, Aubree repeated her utterance.
