Asia’s vorce was unsure
Lucian continued Where are they leaving”
Avia quickly gestured and said That way.”
Lucian ran in that direction. There were few people ahead. If he hurried, he might catch up
“Ouch” After taking a few steps, Lucian heard Ayla’s soft whimper of pain.
He stopped immediately. He turned to see Ayla was hurt.
Her fall had caused her dress to flip up slightly, exposing a bloody knee that looked pretty bad.
Lucian quickly walked back and helped Ayla get up.
Once she got back on her feet, Ayla gave Lucian a swift nudge and said, “I’m okay, just a little scratch. Lucian, you need to catch up with them They couldn’t go far. You can definitely catch up.”
She ignored her leg pain. She limped forward. But as she took a step, she was enveloped in a warm embrace.
Lucian lifted her from behind. Instead of chasing, he walked to his car.
Ayla clutched Lucian’s collar, her voice tinged with worry.“Lucian, I’m fine. Finding Aurora is the priority right now. It’s been ages since you last saw her.”
Hearing this, Lucian’s face grew darker.
Tl see how long Seren can keep her hidden.” Lucian’s voice turned cold.
Ayla wanted to say more, but seeing his expression, she stayed quiet and hid her proud face in his chest.
In the car.
Lucian, there’s no need to go to the Pack’s infirmary. Can we just head back to the venue? It’s just a small scratch. I’m really okay.”
Ayla tugged at Lucian’s arm, shaking her head at his offer to go to the Pack’s infirmary.
“You know how hard I prepared for this competition to win the first place. You have no idea how many nights I stayed up late just for creating something I am truly satisfied with.”
As she spoke, Ayla’s eyes reddened.
“At noon, the judge just randomly brought up that I got first place in the competition, and I’m super excited
“I’m so happy not just because all my hard work finally paid off, but also because winning means I could finally make your father like me. It’s a huge step for us moving forward.
“Lucian, I’m really pumped for tonight. You’re gonna be the one who presented the award to me. Just being able to stand next to you in public,
means a lot to me.”
Ayla looked at Lucian with deep affection. Her gaze was very intense. It drew Lucian in. She hoped he would kiss her passionately.
