Chapter 49: Riley, What Happened to You?

"Riley."

Aria got up and walked up to Riley, feeling a different emotion than usual in Riley's eyes.

Riley looked up at Aria, gently hugged her, and said lightly.

"Aria, I'm back. I'm sorry for not being able to save you in time. Are you all right?"

Lucas got up and came to the two, "Aria, since Riley is back, I will leave now. If anything happens, you can call me. I will be on call. As long as you still need me, I will always stand by your side and protect you."

Lucas's gentle words were like an affectionate confession of love.

Aria smiled awkwardly and nodded, "Got it."

After Lucas left, Riley looked Aria up and down, "Aria, are you alright? Didn't that bastard hurt you, did he?"

Aria bowed her head silently.

Riley knew Aria too well. Looking at Aria's expression, she knew what had happened without asking.
