Chapter 4

After hearing my question, the self-satisfied expression vanished from her face.

"Oh...yes."

I knew both her and Damian too well. If I had been the only one present, they probably wouldn't have hidden anything.

But now, ironically, I was the one who wasn't there.

"Alright, Ella, come here quickly."

Damian hurriedly pulled her away from the crystal screen.

Layla, standing to the side, was clearly furious. My best friend immediately cut the connection.

I switched back to the surveillance crystal view, not forgetting to wipe off the medicine powder from my mouth.

At this moment, the clan physician said the medicinal soup had been left at the door.

It was so late, and I didn't want to trouble the physician. The treatment had just ended, so I got up to get the soup myself.

As I reached the door. Suddenly, I bumped into a tall figure.

It was Damian's beta, Lucian.

He looked at me with an ambiguous smile.

"Why standing here in the middle of the night?Do you know how scary that is?"I said.

At this moment, Layla in the surveillance crystal was scolding Damian and Ella.

She even issued an ultimatum.

"You two are forbidden from meeting alone. Otherwise, next time, I'll send Ella to the vampire border!"

"Layla!"

"I mean what I say!"

It turns out that as long as I don't love Damian, I can easily watch them squirm.

This feeling is just too satisfying.I feel like even my wounds have healed considerably at this moment.

"Why are you still standing here?"

Seeing that Lucian wasn't leaving, I irritably pushed him away and started drinking the medicinal soup I had just received.

He studied me for a while, "You're severely injured and you're drinking such hot medicinal soup?"

"None of your damn business!"

In my past life, to please Damian, I was always gentle and polite to all his friends.

But perhaps because I was too much of a bootlicker, they all seemed to look down on me.

However, right now I'm not being very polite to this Lucian, yet he doesn't seem angry. He even laughed.

"I thought you were truly infatuated with Damian, but I didn't expect you to be such a drama queen."

"Me? Infatuated with him? What kind of precious gem is he to deserve my infatuation?"

I rolled my eyes.

It's time to sever the mate bond with him.

I calculated in my mind.

"What did you come here for anyway?"

Seeing that Lucian still wasn't leaving, I asked in an unfriendly tone, trying to drive him away.

"I'm also here for treatment, just next door. Want to come and see?"

I glanced at the extra medicinal soup in my hand, and inexplicably nodded.

Lucian was very talkative, quite interesting but also gentlemanly.

As a result, our friendly conversation led to three days of attentive care."You are welcome. Just consider it a thank-you gift for the medicinal soup you gave me."

Since they've already said that, why should I be overly modest?

I closed my eyes and simply enjoyed it.

My bestie Chloe, upon learning of Ella's return, seemed to transform into a fierce mama wolf.

When she came to visit me at the medical center, she didn't forget to bring the latest news.

"Ella's being monitored by Layla. It's clear Layla won't let them meet alone. I bet Damian will end up begging for your help sooner or later. You better think hard about how to handle it."

Sure enough, on the day of my discharge, Damian, who had seemingly vanished for days, surprisingly showed up to pick me up.
