Chloe Grant walked back, but before she got halfway, Lucas Morgan, standing over there, suddenly lifted his head. His gaze was sharp and cold, like a blade, startling Chloe into stopping her steps.
He simply glanced at her, said nothing, and turned to enter the villa, locking the door behind him.
Lucas slightly raised his head, walked a few steps inside, but couldn't take it anymore, bracing his hand on the table, rubbing his forehead with the other.
Since that incident three years ago, he developed a chronic migraine that couldn't be cured.
But...
Chloe, all these years, his hidden ailment, you're both the addiction and the illness.
...
Outside, Chloe Grant was still very worried, unsure of how Lucas Morgan was doing.
She felt guilty for throwing a tantrum and challenging this powerful figure—what madness.
With Lucas in this state, she didn't know what to do.
Walking back and forth at the door, she was really worried—what if something happened?
