Full of extremely complicated emotions, Grace nodded in shock.
It turned out that the person who had kindly donated that enormous sum of money and saved her mother’s life was also Lucas.
Furthermore, he even chose to keep his identity a secret for fear that she would feel pressured. Even when he told her the news just now, he didn’t mention that he was that kind donor at all.
Yet she had used Lucas in a bid to make Liam stop harassing her by pretending that Lucas was her boyfriend, causing him to be implicated in the end.
When she thought about this, Grace felt even more guilty and full of self-reproach.
“Ah, you youngsters just like being so secretive all the time. You secretly do these kind and touching gestures while choosing to hide your feelings from each other. Haha, I think you two should hurry up and make your relationship public! You’re both great people. Lucas is a fine young man. He’s handsome, rich, responsible, and very compassionate. You two will definitely live in bliss in the future!” Dr. Jones said smilingly.
But Grace suddenly looked a little sad. “No, Dr. Jones, it’s impossible between us…”
Thinking otherwise, Dr. Jones said, “How is it impossible? You’re a wonderful girl. You’re pretty, smart, kind-hearted, and strong. You’re the girl of every man’s dream. Don’t be so quick to jump to conclusions!”
Grace smiled bitterly. “Lucas is already married to a beautiful wife, and they also have a lovely daughter. They’re leading a blissful life.”
“Huh? Oh, I see…” Dr. Jones widened her mouth in surprise. After a long while, she finally sighed and said, “That’s such a pity.”
…
At this moment, Lucas had already walked to the door of William’s ward.
He pushed open the door and entered. Cheyenne, who was talking to William inside, turned to look at him angrily. With a harrumph, she quickly turned away and ignored him.
“Dad, it’s getting late. I’ll head back to the office now. I’ll come visit you again after picking Amelia up in the evening.” Cheyenne stood up and picked up her handbag.
“Don’t bring Amelia to the hospital late at night. Besides, I’m doing fine. I’ll be discharged in a couple of days, and I can go home then. So just stay home and rest with Amelia. Don’t go through such a hassle,” William advised.
After resting for most of the day, he felt much better and couldn’t wait to get discharged from the hospital so that he could go home.
Lucas hurriedly said, “Cheyenne, I’ll go with you to pick up Amelia. I happen to have something to tell you too…”
“I have nothing to say to you! Get out of the way.” Cheyenne sulked, brushed past Lucas, and quickly strode out of the ward without looking back.
Lucas was just about to chase after Cheyenne, but she suddenly turned around and snapped, “Don’t follow me!”
Then she strutted out in her heels and soon vanished around the corner of the corridor.
“…”
Recalling the look of repulsion and anger on Cheyenne’s face, Lucas couldn’t help sighing.
William was shocked to see their unusual reactions and conversation.
Since Lucas had returned to Orange County, Cheyenne and his relationship had improved tremendously, apart from the first two days where she had given him the cold shoulder. They had been getting along well and never had a major fight over anything.
“Lucas, what happened between you and Cheyenne? Did you get into a tiff?” William frowned. “When Cheyenne came in just now, her eyes were red. I asked her about it, but she merely said that something got in her eyes, and they turned red because she had been rubbing them.”
Facing his father-in-law’s question, Lucas answered helplessly, “There’s just a small misunderstanding between us. Everything will be alright after I explain it to her tonight.”
“You… didn’t do anything to let Cheyenne down, did you?” William suddenly asked apprehensively with some suspicions.
As someone who had experienced a lot in life, he was naturally very clear about his daughter’s character. He could tell based on how furious Cheyenne was that things definitely weren’t simple.
Besides, considering Lucas’s current status and the fact that he was no longer his live-in son-in-law but a mega-rich tycoon who owned several large corporations, William couldn’t help getting a little worried. He knew that men tended to go astray once they were rich.
Caught between laughter and tears, Lucas said, “Do you think I’m such a person? Cheyenne is my wife. How could I let her down? It’s really just a trivial misunderstanding.”
William finally felt relieved. “Okay then. If there’s any misunderstanding between you two, just clear things up. There aren’t any major issues with me now. I’ve only sustained some minor injuries. You’d better hurry back.”
“Okay. I’ll leave when it’s about time to pick Amelia up from the kindergarten,” Lucas said with a smile.
…
Meanwhile, Cheyenne was waiting to board the elevator when she suddenly heard a soft and gentle voice from behind her.
“Hello, Miss Carter.”
Cheyenne turned around and saw a familiar-looking and beautiful woman walking toward her.
She seemed between 23 to 24 years old, just a little younger than Cheyenne and about the same height. There wasn’t any makeup on her tiny face, but she was a natural beauty. She even exuded the aura of a classic beauty that made her even more gorgeous.
She was undoubtedly a stunning, ravishing beauty.
Even though she wasn’t wearing any makeup, her long hair was tied back into a simple ponytail, and she was dressed in cheap and simple clothes with signs of wear and tear at her sleeves, she was still very pretty.
Cheyenne naturally recognized the beautiful woman in front of her to be the one who had grabbed Lucas’s hands tightly and said that Lucas lied to her to coax her.
A surge of anger arose in Cheyenne’s heart as she wondered, Why is this woman here? To show her prowess? Or to thrash things out with me?
“Why are you looking for me?” Cheyenne questioned coldly.
Grace saw the hostility in Cheyenne’s eyes and hurriedly explained, “Miss Carter, please don’t get the wrong idea. I just came to explain to you clearly that there’s nothing between me and Mr. Lucas Gray. If I had caused any unnecessary misunderstanding to arise between you two, I’m truly sorry!”
Cheyenne pursed her lips and said with contempt, “Sorry? Misunderstanding? Are you trying to say that I have dim eyes and dull ears and that what I saw you two do and heard you two say was wrong? Besides, he even told you my name. How can you still have the cheek to say that there’s nothing between you two?”
Grace looked extremely anxious, and she hurriedly waved her hands while trying to clarify things, “No, no, Miss Carter, it’s really a misunderstanding! I’m really sorry about it! Mr. Gray wasn’t the one who told me your name but your daughter, Amelia!”
“What? You actually met Amelia? You… you guys are outrageous!” Cheyenne was exasperated and aggrieved. Amelia is my and Lucas’s daughter and also my precious baby! Yet he brought her to see this woman. What does he mean by that?!
