Since She Met Lucian Chapter 58 Ended Up With Acute Gastroenteritis

Just as she was left wondering, her phone suddenly buzzed. It was a message from an unknown
number. It read, "Amelia, don't worry. Lucian's with me."

'Amelia...' For some reason, it sounded like Sasha.

At that moment, Amelia felt as if she'd been punched right in the gut. Her heart twisted in pain as she
felt her entire body go numb.

Her hand was trembling as she held her phone. Standing alone in the room, she was at a loss.

Suddenly, her stomach started grumbling—she was hungry already. Since Lucian wasn't around, she
wasn't really in the mood to cook so she dragged herself upstairs to take a nap. She figured that was
the only way to make herself feel better.

She slept through the entire night.

Initially, she thought she'd have a hard time falling asleep or she'd wake up around midnight. However,
that wasn't what happened—she ended up sleeping until dawn.

Since the holidays were over, she had to go to work again. When she woke up, she washed her face
and rinsed her mouth. Grabbing a bottle of milk and a piece of toast, she headed out.

Although there was still some time before work, Amelia decided she didn't want to drive the flashy car
Lucian had given her. She then intended to walk to the bus stop and just take a bus going to work.

It rained the entire last night and that morning, the sky was grey and foggy. It was a cold winter morning
so the roads were slippery.

It was seven in the morning and it took almost half an hour to get to the bus stop. If she walked fast
enough, she could get there in 20 minutes. The bus ride going to the Zhan Group only took about 10



minutes.

With that, she figured she still had enough time.

Since she was going to work, she had no choice but to wear high heels. Even though the heels she
wore weren't that high, she still found it difficult to walk as she wasn't used to wearing heels in the first
place.

She lost her balance all the way. It took her totally half an hour to get to the bus station. The moment
she got on the bus, her restless mind gradually calmed down.

Beads of sweat were starting to form on her forehead. When she sat on the bus, she immediately felt a
sharp, shooting pain in her stomach.

"Are you okay, miss?" the girl sitting next to her asked worriedly upon seeing the pained look on
Amelia's face.

Amelia shook her head and said nothing.

She tried her best to endure the pain throughout the whole ride. It wasn't until she got off at the gate of
the Zhan Group that she got on her knees from the pain.

She knew this wasn't car sickness as she didn't really feel like vomiting. It was just a sharp, shooting
pain in her stomach.

She still had about ten minutes left before she work so she took a deep breath and forced herself to
stand up. Then she slowly walked towards the gate.

Luckily, most of the employees had already arrived about half an hour earlier as they usually did. This
meant that she didn't have to pretend to be fine as she didn't run into anyone.



Trying not to be late for work, she then headed inside the building. She felt better as soon as she got
into the elevator however the pain still hadn't completely subsided yet.

As the elevator went up, she pinched her palm in an attempt to reduce the pain.

She was starting to get soaked in her sweat and her body simultaneously felt cold and hot at the same
time.

As soon as she arrived on her floor, she quickly ran into the office.

She was in such a hurry that she had forgotten to knock on the door before coming in. As soon as she
pushed the door open, she froze, momentarily forgetting about her stomach pain.

Lucian and Sasha were standing in front of each other. They weren't doing anything but they were
standing rather closely to each other.

They turned their heads at the same time to look at Amelia. They had this same look on their faces—as
if they'd just seen a ghost.

Amelia was a little embarrassed but she wasn't feeling well so she just didn't say anything.

She looked at Lucian who was dressed in a crisp suit, looking elegant as ever.

"Amelia, I thought... I thought you weren't coming to work today," Sasha said, a surprised look on her
face. She had walked towards Amelia and took her hand, smiling.

Amelia smiled weakly and pointed to her seat. "I'll just sit down."

When she spoke, her voice was soft. She was too weak to raise her voice.

Sasha then froze. The shift on Amelia's face wasn't lost on her. She asked, "Why are you sweating so
much, Amelia?"



It was winter and she was sweating buckets. It just didn't make sense.

Amelia wiped the sweat on her face and smiled apologetically. "I was running late so I ran all the way
here,"

she said lightly, still enduring the pain.

Since she came in, Lucian remained silent. He looked as cold as ever which led Amelia to conclude
that he was still mad at her.

While Amelia knew that Sasha was Lucian's ex-girlfriend, she still couldn't stop herself from being
jealous of them.

Lucian raised his head when Amelia spoke. He noticed that she'd been covering her stomach this
entire time and she was sweating like a pig.

Suddenly, he walked towards her and immediately noticed how pale her face was and how she was
biting her lip as if she was trying to cope with something. He frowned and asked anxiously, "Is there
anything wrong with you?"

Needless to say, Amelia was moved by the concern Lucian showed her despite the coldness in his
voice.

Tears ran down her cheeks.

She didn't nod or shake her head. Instead, immobilized by the pain, she started crying.

"I'll take you to the hospital." Lucian lifted her up to bring her to infirmary.

Before she could even realize what was happening, they'd already arrived at the infirmary and the
doctor was already examining her.



After which, the doctor diagnosed her with acute gastroenteritis.

With that, Lucian turned to glare at her. She could feel his eyes digging into her head. Out of fear, she
kept her head lowered not wanting to meet his cold gaze.

Last time, she had been diagnosed with gastroenteritis and Lucian was so worried about her then.
Feeling aggrieved, all she wanted to do was cry now.

The previous night, Lucian hadn't come home so Amelia wasn't able to have dinner. That morning, she
grabbed a bottle of milk and a piece of toast on her way out which meant that she ate her breakfast
while she was walking. This was what probably caused her stomach ache.

Every time she had an indigestion, she wouldn't treat it seriously. She'd just let it be and hope that the
pain would go away.

"What can be done about this?" Lucian asked coldly as he glanced at Amelia.

"She should develop regular eating habits to improve her condition. If she doesn't eat regularly, it'll only
get worse," the doctor explained.

Lucian's eyes suddenly dimmed. He then asked Amelia, "Didn't you have dinner last night?"

Well, he guessed it right.

Amelia's face sank. When she thought of the message that Sasha sent her last night, she just wanted
to hide so she wouldn't have to answer Lucian's question.

She didn't think she had to answer him anyway. If he really cared about her, he would have gone home
last night. He wouldn't have left her hanging like that just because he was mad at her.



Even though they weren't in an official relationship yet, they were still married. Before he made that
emotional confession to her, she didn't care if he went home or not. However, after he did, he
immediately went back to his usual cold self. Who wouldn't be hurt by that?

Lucian didn't know what to say. He just decided to let it go as he pulled her into his arms.

Amelia was relieved as soon as she felt Lucian's arms wrap around her.

Sasha tried to follow them to the infirmary but Lucian stopped her.

Only she and Lucian were at the infirmary now.

"Is it still painful?" Still frowning, Lucian handed her a cup of hot water.

She looked at him as she took the cup from him. "Thank you," she said dryly.

Upon hearing this, Lucian seemed visibly dejected. It was as if Amelia thanking her meant an entirely
different thing to him.

If she didn't have acute gastroenteritis, would he have still treated her the same?

Amelia didn't think much about it. She stood up and said with a smile, "I'm fine. I can go to work now." It
was still work hours and she didn't want to delay her work or Lucian's work.

"No, I'll bring you home." He held her hands and looked at her warmly.

Under his intense gaze, Amelia flushed. She lowered her head and shook her head. "I feel much better
now since I already took the meds."

He then stood up and proceeded to carry her in his arms.

"I..." Just as Amelia was about to protest, Lucian shot her a look that made her shut up.



When they returned to his office, Lucian continued to carry Amelia into his lounge.

Amelia's face turned white with fear. She sat up from the bed, still protesting and insisting that she was
feeling much better.

Without answering her, he pressed her back on the bed and covered her with the quilt. Then he said in
a calm voice, "If you want to help me, just behave."

With that, Amelia remained quiet.

There was also a part of her that was a bit scared of Lucian so she just followed what he said.

As Amelia watched him walk off, she felt as if her heart was empty. She was feeling so many things
and she couldn't voice any of them out.
