"You know I’m using you, don’t you?"
"Yes, but I’m willing. I’m willing to be a pawn in your hands," Ricard said, his voice softer than ever.For four years, Lucia had only one thing on her mind: revenge. She loved the man in front of her, but so what? That love meant nothing compared to the deep-seated hatred in her heart. 
Her father’s death, her mother’s insanity, and her family’s hospital being taken over — how could she let go of such a grudge?It was she who seduced him, approached him with all kinds of schemes to make him love her, all because he was the fiancé of the person who caused her family’s misfortune. And he, he loved her so much that he would do anything for her. His strength, intelligence, and resolve seemed to vanish completely before her.Perhaps the only thing he was lucky for in this life was being of value to her.

　　Ricard sat beside Lyra, trying to soothe her with his calm and gentle voice. However, Lyra's panic was becoming more apparent. Her eyes remained red and swollen, and her lips trembled slightly whenever she tried to speak. Fear and tension were etched on her face, causing Ricard to feel increasingly concerned.


　　"Lyra, it's okay. You don't have to worry about performing," Ricard said, his voice as soft as he could make it, though he had already realized that Lyra was in no condition to perform.


　　Lyra shook her head, attempting to speak, but her voice was caught in her throat. "I… I can't… I'm so sorry, Ricard… I really can't perform…" she almost choked on her words, overwhelmed by her panic.


　　Ricard sighed softly, placing a hand on Lyra's shoulder, his eyes filled with empathy. "It's all right, Lyra. This is an unexpected situation, and you don't need to push yourself to perform. We'll handle everything; you just need to rest and calm down."
