Video? Coco froze for a moment and quickly realized what was happening. Well, there were many people at the convention. They must have been recording the incident and uploaded it to the internet.Coco met Loke's gaze, a small smile on her face. "It's none of your business, Mr. Clark. Besides, I don't think we're even friends. You're not welcome at my house, so please get out.""I'm just worried about you, Coco!" Loke raised his voice. "I know I was wrong. I made mistakes, but I want the best for you now."Loke was so protective of her and wanted to make amends for his mistakes. However, he realized she would never give him a chance to make it up to her."No need." Coco rasped and sounded exhausted. "I'm exhausted, Loke. I don't have the energy to talk to you. I just want to be left alone. If you feel sorry for me, please just leave me alone."Loke hesitated to say something, but he finally swallowed the bitterness in his throat and smiled. "Okay, I know. I'll leave now. Have a goo
"He would?" A mocking sound came out of her, self-deprecating. "Things won't always work in my favor naturally. Just like how he's not obligated to help me.""You have to call, at least. Let him know about this," Minnie said.Just then, Coco noticed a related video link at the bottom of the video. It was not a video about Comic Con, but Lucas.Coco clicked on the video and watched it. A car pulled over in front of the hospital. It was Lucas' car, she recognized it. Then, a man got out of the car in a hurry, running into the hospital. The time of capture was shown on the video. It was taken shortly after the Comic Con incident.Coco found herself frozen in place, staring at the video. What was Lucas doing in the hospital?Minnie sat beside Coco and watched the video together. She wondered, "Isn't that Lucas? Why is he at Solaria Maternity Hospital? And in so much of a hurry? Is someone in his family in labor?Labor? Coco was shocked by what Minnie had said. Serenity was the only
"I will!" Coco promised. She felt the urgency to see Lucas, no matter what. Only this time, her desire to see him was so different from the other night when she had rushed to his villa to meet him!-Meanwhile, at the hospital. Clara put her phone away and looked at Lucas, waiting anxiously outside the operating room.Clara and Jackson had rushed Serenity to the hospital, but no one knew how Lucas had gotten the news and arrived shortly after. Serenity's water had broken too early, and she needed an early C-section immediately.It was a risky labor. There was no telling the consequences on Serenity's health and uterus after labor. Clara pondered worriedly, a deep emotional turmoil within her.More silence loomed. They were all standing outside the operating room, hoping the doctor would come out and give them good news. Jackson and Lucas' eyes were glued to the operating room. The concern, anxiety, and worry on their faces were so obvious. Who would have thought that Solaria
"Serenity wouldn't have gotten pregnant if not for you! Didn't you say you loved her more than your own life? So why are you putting her through all this pain now?!" Lucas raised his voice.Jackson's face darkened. "What, Lucas? I thought you should be completely over her by now.""Completely over her?" Lucas snorted. "Jackson, if it wasn't for you, I would've recognized Serenity before it was too late. If I knew, and if she had loved me, I would've never put her through what she's going through today!"Coco never expected to hear Lucas' confession the first thing in the hospital. Maybe it was all meant to be. The bodyguards from the Valor family heavily guarded the area, but they recognized Coco and let her in, letting her hear Lucas' confession.Coco had always known. Lucas had always loved Serenity, and that fact had never changed.Losing Serenity was Lucas' biggest regret. How could she ever make him transfer his deep love for Serenity to her? It made her laugh at how she thou
Coco looked straight at the operating door and never met Lucas' gaze.After the surgery, Serenity was wheeled out of the operating room, sedated and unconscious. Coco accompanied them to the ward and watched Jackson gently guard Serenity by the bed with a touch of envy in her eyes.Everyone in Solaria knew that Mr. Valor, known to be ruthless and cold-hearted, adored his wife the most. Finding a man who loved you as much as you did was a dream to most, including her."Clara, I'm leaving," Coco said to Clara."I'll go with you. Let's visit Serenity tomorrow," Clara replied. After saying goodbye to Jackson, the two left the ward.While leaving, Coco stopped dead in her tracks as she stared at the man waiting in the corridor. Lucas stood not far from the ward, his eyes locked on hers.Pursing her lips slightly, Coco turned to Clara and said, "Clara, you go first. I have something to tell Lucas."Clara suddenly felt uneasy. She thought Coco would be saddened to hear her boyfriend pr
Coco smiled faintly and said, “I don’t blame you at all. You’ve never deceived me from the beginning. From the start of their relationship, she knew that Lucas had another woman in his heart. He had clearly told her that he did not love her when they officially dated. Coco couldn’t expect Lucas to run to her first when both she and Serenity were in trouble.Lucas remained silent as he felt more uneasy. Coco quietly looked at him, gently tracing his eyebrows, nose, and finally, his lips with her fingers. Others said that men with thin lips were playboys, but Lucas wasn’t one of them. It was unfortunate for Coco that Lucas only loved Serenity. Coco scoffed at herself and said, “I told you that until you fell in love with me, I wouldn't do anything overly intimate with you like kissing. Unfortunately, I’m going to take that back now.” Lucas was slightly taken aback by her words. Coco tip-toed, wrapped her arms around his neck, and pulled Lucas down for a kiss. "Lucas, I'm sorry."
“What I mean is that I won’t love you anymore in the future,” Coco said. “I don’t regret loving you, Lucas, but I’m going to move on from you. Maybe we can grab coffee together when we run into each other on the street one day.” Perhaps such a future wouldn't be so bad.However, Lucas’s expression became darker. “Are you sure that you can move on from us?” "I... I think so," Coco said while staring straight into his eyes to hide her uncertainty. It wasn’t easy for one to forget a man like him. "What if I want you to continue loving me?" Lucas asked. "I'll treat you better, even better than before."Coco knew that it wasn’t love that Lucas felt for her. She lowered her eyes and said, “Lucas, you’re already very nice to me. But, because of my feelings for you, I’m starting to become greedy. I want to be the most important person in your heart. I hope that when I'm in danger, you will stand by me without hesitation. I want you to love me the most."Coco paused and continued bitterly,
Coco had sketched Lucas when he wasn’t paying attention and when he posed as her model. She would also simply draw him from her imagination. She had planned to fill the sketchbook and give it to him as a gift. Now, it was the only thing left for her to seek solace. Coco flipped through the pages. There were images of Lucas lowering his head, reading a book by the window, glancing back at Coco while smiling…She had drawn each picture of him with her love.Drip, drip!Coco realized she was crying when she saw tears begin to form on the pages. She hastily wiped the tears on the paper with her sleeve and frantically told herself not to cry anymore. Yet, the tears continued to well up in her eyes uncontrollably, and she could only clumsily wipe them away.“What? You broke up with Lucas?!” Minnie was shocked by the news when she visited Coco the next day and noticed her friend’s puffy and swollen eyes. “Yes,” Coco croaked.“Why? Weren't things going well between you guys?” Minnie ask
