"Lucian? Can you come here? I... I have acute gastroenteritis. It's so painful that I can't even walk..." Sasha's voice sounded very weak on the phone.
"Okay," Lucian agreed, eyebrows knitted together.
He put the car in reverse and saw Amelia's figure from the rearview mirror. Slamming his foot on the brakes, he said urgently, "Get in the car. I need to deal with something."
This confused Amelia thoroughly. If he had something to do then why would she need to get in the car?
Did it have something to do with her father?
"How's my father?" Amelia blurted out as soon as she got in the car.
With his eyebrows furrowed, Lucian said indifferently, "Your father's fine. It's Sasha."
Amelia was relieved to hear this. However, if anything, she was even more confused now. What did Amelia have anything to do with this?
"Why don't you just go there? Why do you have to take me with you?" she pressed.
"Can you just be quiet?" There was a hint of coldness in Lucian's voice. It seemed that he wasn't in the mood to talk.
Amelia closed her mouth and kept it shut for the rest of the car ride.
She snorted to herself, 'Why does he have to take me with him? Wouldn't his girlfriend be jealous if she saw me with him?'
Amelia intended to get off the car when they arrived at the downtown area however Lucian just kept driving the car until they reached a quiet residential area.
The area seemed like a nice place to live as it had trees everywhere and even the air here seemed fresher.
Getting off the car first, Lucian turned around and said to Amelia, "Go up with me."
"Okay," Amelia didn't know what was going on but Lucian seemed a little worried so she just followed behind him.
On the sixth floor of building B.
Lucian stood in front of the door and knocked. After a while, the door was opened.
"Lucian, you're finally here..." Sasha pulled him in for a hug and a kiss.
'Oh my God! Did Lucian ask me to come here so I could watch him make out with his girlfriend?'
Even though it was Sasha who had pulled him in for a hug and a kiss, he still didn't refuse and that said something.
After which, Sasha buried her head in his chest.
"Are you all right?" Lucian's voice was cold and emotionless.
It was so strange to see him treat his girlfriend like this.
"Lucian, it hurts..." Sasha whined. She grabbed Lucian's hand and intimately led it to her stomach.
They seem to have forgotten that Amelia was there.
Amelia felt a little embarrassed. Just as she was about to turn to leave, Lucian suddenly said, "Amelia, Dr. Chen's number is on my phone. Could you kindly give him a call for me?"
Uh... She couldn't believe that Lucian spoke to her. Wouldn't his girlfriend be jealous?
"Okay," Amelia replied awkwardly.
Meanwhile, Sasha's face turned white as a sheet.
"Lucian, don't bother. I have medicine here. It hurt so bad a while ago that I couldn't stand up but I'm feeling much better now," Sasha stammered. It was quite obvious that Sasha was just faking it. She beamed at Amelia and said, "Thank you, Amelia."
Amelia waved her hand and answered, "You're welcome."
