Was Lucas Blackwood's position in Liv's heart already that important?
"Alpha Stone, be careful of your wounds." Dr. Bennett watched as the newly treated wound reopened and quickly reminded me.
I acted as if I didn't feel the pain. The pain in my body was nothing compared to the pain in my heart.
Dr. Bennett re-treated my wounds. "Alpha Stone, get some rest, I'll go back."
After Dr. Bennett left Olivia's Maple Grove cottage, I lay on the sofa to rest, but I couldn't fall asleep. One moment I was thinking about what I had done to Olivia tonight, and her frightened appearance. The next moment I was thinking about Maxwell Chen saying that Olivia had gone to Lucas Blackwood.
Putting on my clothes, I hailed a cab and went to Lucas Blackwood's private residence.
(Olivia's POV)
I ran out of the house, out of the Maple Grove complex, and was about to call James Knight when my phone suddenly rang. It was Lucas Blackwood's call. I answered it right away.
As soon as the phone connected, I called out, "Lucas." I tried my best to suppress the trembling in my voice, not wanting Lucas to know what I had just experienced.
But Lucas immediately noticed something was wrong and asked anxiously, "Liv, what's wrong?"
"Lucas, I'm fine." I tried to brush it off.
But Lucas, who always agreed with everything I said, was uncharacteristically assertive for the first time, saying in a deep Alpha voice, "Liv, don't make me worry, tell me where you are now? I'll come pick you up right away!"
"If I don't see you, I can't rest assured."
My tone, even though I tried to hide it, still revealed that my voice was abnormally hoarse, clearly from crying for a long time. How could he not be worried?
At Lucas's insistence, I told him that I was at the entrance of the Maple Grove complex. Lucas didn't let me hang up. He was not far from my place and rushed out immediately.
I could even hear Lucas bumping into something in his haste, and something falling to the ground and breaking.
