"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.

　　A deep, overwhelming disappointment surged within Anna, like a hidden, powerful wave threatening to wash away what remained of her pride. She stood there, looking into Ricard's eyes, desperately searching for a glimmer of hope, a small sign that he still cared for her. But all she found was cold indifference, a cruel detachment.


　　Ricard looked straight at her, his eyes holding an invisible wall that separated them. "You don't need to do this anymore," he said, his voice steady but devoid of warmth. "I really don't want you to go through such trouble over things like this."


　　His words felt like knives stabbing into Anna's heart, causing her more pain than anything else. It was clear that Ricard was rejecting her concern, dismissing all her efforts to be closer to him. She bit her lip, trying to suppress the disappointment and pain in her heart, but she couldn't hide the sadness in her eyes.
