The Masterpiece of Leaving：Prepared A Perfect Stand-In For Him novel Chapter 6

By the time paramedics arrived, Lysander had already passed out.

A paramedic turned to Navier. "Ma'am, are you riding with him?”

Navier shook her head, her voice eerily calm. “No need.”

She didn't go to the hospital or concern herself with Lysander's injuries. Instead, she quietly packed all her belongings.

Then she went to Lakeside Villa.

Celeste opened the door.

In that moment, Navier was stunned speechless.

The girl before her wore a white dress, her hair slightly curled, her gaze soft and warm—almost identical to Ophelia in her memories.

“Navier, I think I’ve got it down.” Celeste said with a soft smile.

Navier nodded, a hint of satisfaction in her voice. “You’re getting there. But there’s one last thing—your eyes and the way you speak.”

"Ophelia came from wealth. She never looked at people timidly or cautiously—you need to be more confident. And her voice was soft and delicate, connected to her physical weakness and frequent illness..."

For the next three days, Navier stayed at Lakeside Villa, coaching Celeste in detail.

She made Celeste memorize all of Ophelia's preferences.

Everything Navier knew about Ophelia, she passed all on to Celeste.

"Celeste, when you're with Lysander, you can ask for money, for power, but never ask for his heart. That only ever belonged to Ophelia. No matter how perfectly you mimic her, you'll never actually be her."

Celeste nodded obediently. "I understand, Navier. I only want a stable life—I don't need his heart."

Navier felt relieved and gave her a reassuring smile. "After I'm gone, that face of yours will ensure Lysander treats you well forever. You'll never have to worry about your parasitic family exploiting you again."

Just as Navier was about to leave, her phone rang—a rare call from Lysander.
