Chapter 559
Something in Lucas stirred when he heard those were Aurora’s favorite.
His eyes followed the movement of the fruit basket, and for a moment, the image of Aurora, full of life and energy, flashed through his mind.
The woman lying in the hospital bed now was a shadow of that vibrant version of her–like a completely different person.
It was hard to even connect the two.
Kenneth stood nearby, glancing between Aurora and Lucas with a complicated expression.
Seriously, how had this woman managed to win over someone like that man?
And now, with her sister speaking so coldly, he still had his people standing by her side.
That was the only way Kenneth could stay in the loop and maybe benefit from it later.
He smiled and said, “Didn’t expect you to be so thoughtful–buying her favorite fruit and all.”
Her favorite fruit?
Tessa and the executive exchanged a glance, clearly confused.
Neither of them had any idea who this man was.
Wendy shot her brother a look of disapproval.
What was he doing? Why did he always feel the need to jump into conversations that had nothing to do with them?
And really, what did any of this have to do with them in the first place?
Tessa cleared her throat awkwardly and asked, “And you are?”
Kenneth grinned. “I’m one of Lucas‘ closest friends. We’ve known each other for
years.
“When I heard Aurora was sick, I came to check on her. I even helped bring in these doctors.”
Hearing that, Tessa let out a quiet breath of relief.
So, these people were brought in by this man, not Lucas himself.
He was just a pretty face with a wealthy friend.
The thought soothed her ego a little.
