Rejection

Leila really wanted to join the rest in saving Everleigh since Everleigh was their roommate, with whom they had lived in the same dorm room for four years.

But Lucas had nothing to do with Everleigh. To put it bluntly, Lucas didn't even have any ties with Leila. They only happened to become acquainted and had a brief conversation before she tricked him into acting as her shield.

Thus, Leila couldn't bring herself to ask him to go with her to save Everleigh.

Alyssa glowered at Lucas and said, "Forget it. Leave him alone! Since he chooses to sit here like a coward, let's just take it that he doesn't exist! Everleigh is still in the hands of those people. Let's quickly go save her!"

Considering how urgent the situation was, the rest stopped bothering with Lucas and rushed over to save Everleigh.

As Everleigh's roommate, Leila naturally went with them.

All of a sudden, Lucas was the only one left in the room.
