The soft mattress trembled as Lucas' breathing grew heavier.

His voice was husky and strained. "Aveline, when you wake up, you can't deny this happened."

Aveline didn't hear a word he said, her actions frantic as she kissed him with abandon.

Lucas' voice grew even lower and rougher. "If you don't say anything, I'll take that as a yes."

A night of passion ensued.

The next morning.

Aveline opened her eyes and found herself in an unfamiliar place. She jolted upright, her heart racing. The

blanket slipped from her shoulders, and a chill spread across her chest. Glancing down, her face instantly turned

pale!

Her memory of last night stopped at the moment when Russell had said she had been drugged. She couldn't

recall anything beyond that.

But the current situation spoke volumes-had she been with Russell?

Oh, God!

How could this happen?

And yesterday was Russell's wedding day!

She...

Aveline stared blankly ahead, tears the size of beads suddenly streaming down her face, her complexion as pale

as a sheet. For a moment, all she felt was utter despair.

At that moment, the door opened, and a familiar figure walked in.

""Why are you crying?"

Lucas had barely stepped inside when he saw her sitting there, silent tears streaming down her face. His brows

furrowed as he moved closer to ask.

Could it be that she couldn't accept having slept with him without her consent? Was she so distressed by it that

she cried?

Lucas pressed his lips together tightly.

Aveline blinked slowly, looking at Lucas' handsome, sharply defined face.

Her voice was so faint it was barely audible. "It's you?"

Lucas looked at her and said, "Last night, everything happened so fast. | couldn't get you to a hospital in time, so

| brought you here instead. If you're angry, | won't blyou for saying whatever you want.

A sharp pain gripped Lucas' heart, but he had to endure it.

He was beginning to understand more and more that nothing mattered more than her. Whenever she cried, his

heart ached.

Suddenly, Aveline threw her arms around him, breaking down into uncontrollable sobs.

Lucas was stunned. "Aveline, what's wrong?"

What kind of reaction was this? He couldn't quite figure it out.

"Thank God it's you, Lucas. Thank God it's you," she choked out through her tears.

She couldn't bear to imagine what she would have done if she had slept with Russell instead. Upon realizing it

was Lucas who had slept with her, the overwhelming despair lifted like a heavy fog, and she felt as if she'd come

back to life.

Hearing her words, Lucas finally understood why she was crying.

He wrapped his arms around her and said softly, "Do you think | would let any other man touch you?"

Aveline continued to cry, but her emotions gradually began to settle.

With reddened eyes, she asked, "I was drugged. Have they caught whoever did this?"

Lucas nodded. "I just got word that they've found sclues. Do you want to go and see for yourself?" "Yes,"

Aveline replied, nodding.

As the victim, she had every right to know who had targeted her.

It wasn't just about her-this had implicated the Skyler, Johnson, and Tudor families as well. If word got out and

things escalated, the consequences could be disastrous.

Lucas gently wiped the tears from her cheeks. "Alright, freshen up first. We'll have breakfast, then head over to

the hotel together."

"Okay."

Aveline nodded, ready to get up, but then she realized she was wearing nothing-or rather, she was covered in

traces of their intimate night. She suddenly felt embarrassed.

Lucas chuckled softly. "Feeling shy?"

Aveline refused to look at him.

Lucas grabbed a robe and handed it to her. "You should wash up. I'll be waiting outside."
