The Girl They Ignored Returned as the Woman Seven Men Would Die For novel Chapter 67

"You really don't have to go through all this trouble!" Mika waved her hands frantically, perfectly maintaining her persona as the humble Good Samaritan.

"It really wasn't a big deal. Anyone else would have done the exact same thing! Besides, you guys have already compensated me so much..."

Teachers and students were occasionally passing through the faculty hallway.

Quincy and Mika were standing right in the middle of the corridor, drawing quite a few curious glances.

Mika noticed two girls stepping out of a nearby office. They were Seraphina's classmates from the performing arts department.

Right now, they were standing off to the side, blatantly staring in their direction.

"But in the end, it wasn't anyone else who saved him. It was you," Quincy gently interrupted her refusal.

"What is it? Are you busy that day, or... do you just not want to be friends with people like us?"

She had to admit, Lucas's friend had incredibly high emotional intelligence. He spoke softly but effectively cornered her with a perfect guilt trip.

In her past life, Quincy had only ever used this kind of gentlemanly persuasion on Seraphina.

"N-no, of course not," Mika stammered, looking so flustered she didn't know how to say no.

"Then it's settled." Quincy cut off her train of thought, lightly patting her shoulder.

"I'll text you the address. You have to come, okay?"

Without giving Mika another chance to refuse, Quincy turned and walked away.

Mika stayed rooted to the spot, keeping up her pure, socially awkward facade, making no attempt to chase after him.

Of course she wouldn't chase him to reject the offer.

To build her image as an innocent, kind-hearted girl who expected nothing in return, she had played a risky game, holding back from visiting Lucas in the hospital even once over the past few days.

Now that they had come to her, she absolutely wouldn't pass up this chance to establish a real connection.

Meanwhile, after securing Mika's attendance, Quincy immediately dragged Leo Vance and Felix Finch to skip class and head to the hospital.

Orthopedic Ward, Rooms 12-17.

Because Lucas stubbornly refused to move to the VIP ward, Xavier Ashford had no choice but to simply buy out all the other five beds in the standard ward to ensure Lucas had a quiet environment.

Right now, Lucas was on the bed by the window.
