Because, in that case, it meant that he had truly fallen in love with her, right? Now, even if he continued to express his love for her and told her it was not driven by pity, sympathy, or guilt, could she really believe him? Perhaps he himself didn't know for sure.Coco bent down and adjusted the blanket for Lucas before turning around and slowly making her way back to her own bedroom. She failed to notice that behind her, a pair of captivating eyes had quietly opened, following her on her way back to the room...In the days that followed, many people came to visit Coco, including Clara and her family, Lisa and Terry, as well as Coco’s two assistants and some co-workers from the magazine company where she used to work at.They all marveled at how lucky she was to survive such treacherous waters."You're so lucky," Clara exclaimed."Yes, I was incredibly lucky. I feel like I've used up all my luck," Coco replied."Don't say that. You'll have a lot more luck waiting for you i
"I..." Coco hesitated."Don't rush to conclusions and make hasty decisions. Relationships involve two people, so decisions should be made together. If you make a decision by yourself and it turns out to be wrong, you might end up regretting it, like I do," Clara said with a serious tone. She didn't want Coco to make the same mistake she did.Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Wilson asked Lucas, "Coco's back, so why do you seem unhappy?"Lucas asked self-deprecatingly, "Have you ever loved someone who doesn't believe that you love her?""I have," Wilson admitted.Lucas looked at Wilson with a hint of surprise. "You mean Clara?""Who else can it be?" Wilson said. "So, Coco doesn't believe that you love her too?"The two men exchanged meaningful looks."Do you remember what you once told me?" Wilson suddenly asked. "You said that even if a relationship was painful, you wouldn't choose to forget it; you would rather remember it forever. Do you still think that way? If Coco continues to do
Clara pursed her lips. A short pause later, she said, "Even if you don't have the photos, it's fine.""But it's not just that. I don't remember the feelings I once had for you."Memories became fuzzy as time passed. Wilson could barely recall the small details in the past, but the stronger memories stuck with him.Emotions could affect a person's memories. Strong emotions triggered the formation of strong memories while the rest would fade. Maybe the human brain decided that those things were unimportant and could be forgotten.What about him? Would he gradually forget more than just his love for her? Would he also forget all his memories with her? If so, would anything be left from his past?"You have them. It's just buried deep within. Even so, those feelings are there. Maybe you'll get them back someday when you want it," Clara said."What if I'm willing to recover them now?" Wilson asked.Clara froze and stared at Wilson blankly, a little confused by his words.Putting away
Lucas had been staying with Coco in his apartment lately. Coco had no idea how many times she had told him to go home, but Lucas insisted on staying.When Lucas' parents found out that Coco was back, they came to see her and brought her a lot of supplements. Coco had a crippled leg, but Jared and Carmen Gomez said nothing. Instead, they told Lucas to stay with Coco and care for her. Lucas agreed readily while Coco stood there, helpless.Coco spoke to Lucas after his parents left. "Lucas, I plan to buy a two-bedroom apartment and bring Leia to live with me. I'm going to rent out this place, so you can't stay with me.""Are you moving to a bigger house? I'll get a place for you. I have no objection to you staying with Leia either. She saved your life, and I'm grateful to her," Lucas said.After giving it some thought, Coco explained, "I can afford to buy a two-bedroom apartment. You can't stay with me, though, especially when Leia comes over. Uh… She'll be uncomfortable.""We just
Lucas raised a brow. "And then?" Minnie began to share her wisdom. "You'll have to take advantage of your remaining time alone with Coco and capture her heart quickly!""You think it's that easy?" Lucas grunted.Minnie used to think that Lucas was a naturally distant person. He always intimidated her, especially his reputation as the uber-famous Prince Lucas of showbiz. After getting to know him, her impression of Lucas had changed over the past year. She was no longer as timid around him.Minnie occasionally felt sorry for Lucas. So what if he was the almighty Prince Lucas? He was still human, just like anyone else. There were times he felt like he could not do anything and was left feeling helpless especially when it came to Coco."It might be hard for anyone else to do it, but I think you'll be fine," Minnie said, sizing him up."You have a plan?" Lucas humbly asked for advice, which was rare. It was all for Coco's sake."You should use your good looks to your advantage!" Mi
Lucas spoke to Coco, trying to convince her. "I know you don't want to move to my place, Coco. How about I get a two-bedroom house ready for you? You can just move in without the need to buy a house.""I can get a place myself. I don't need to live in your house," Coco refused.Coco's rejection made his face and mood darken. It felt like she was desperately trying to distance herself from him. "Why do you have to draw such a clear line between us? I can give you all I own. You can have anything!" He would give her anything, including himself!Coco chewed on her lip, then sighed. "I know you mean well, Lucas. But buying a house is a big thing. I can buy it myself. I don't want to take advantage of you.""Do you want to get rid of me so badly?" Lucas growled, frustrated."I just want to be independent," Coco replied.Noticing the tension in the air, Minnie tried to ease the situation. "Okay, okay. Let's order lunch first! The restaurant has become popular lately, serving plenty
Meanwhile, Coco was stuck in the restroom. People were crowded in front of the restroom, so she could not leave. A moment later, she realized there was a film set nearby. The filming location was near the restroom, and many fans of the celebrities gathered around, crowding the place.The crowd held fan banners, supporting their favorite idols. During break time, they began shouting the names of their favorite idols, cheering for them.Coco tried to speak to the people blocking her way. "Excuse me. May I come through?"The person standing in front of her shot her an impatient look. "Can't you move to the side?"The side? Turning her gaze to the side, Coco saw a temporary guardrail erected around the crowd. A normal person could directly cross it, but this height was too difficult for Coco to cross.Coco had left her crutches behind earlier, thinking it was just a short visit to the restroom. She had walked over with a limp, but she could not cross the rail without the crutches t
Harley impatiently grabbed Coco's arm and dragged her aside. "I'm telling you, don't think you can get close to your favorite idols by treading slowly. I've seen a lot of fans like you."Coco staggered as Harley dragged her away. Then, she lost her balance, her body swaying to the side. Harley let go sharply, causing Coco to fall to the ground.It hurt! Coco winced, the pain like fire burning her leg. She must have twisted her ankle. The intense dull ache on her ankle blew up in her head, and she could barely move.Coco collapsed on the ground, chewing her lower lip in a desperate measure to hold back the pain. Harley, however, thought Coco was just faking it. The disgust on his face intensified. He got annoyed, especially when the director impatiently urged him from not far away. "Why aren't you done yet?! Hurry up!""Yes, yes! Right away!" Harley answered quickly, then yelled at Coco, "Hurry up and get up!"The pain was too great, and Coco could not move at all.Harley na
