"Why should I forgive you?" Lucas asked nonchalantly."Huh?" Karleigh was stunned."I'm not one to forgive easily. There are very few people in this world who can get away after offending me." He then gave a brief order to his men, "Take her away."His men pulled Karleigh aside, and Lucas left with Coco in his arms, leaving everyone else looking at each other in shock.Karleigh kept pleading, "Mr. Gomez, wait! Please forgive me! I was wrong! I apologize to Coco and you. Please don’t go yet, Mr. Gomez…” Lucas didn’t stop in his tracks no matter how much Karleigh begged.Seeing Karleigh's desperate state made those who had ridiculed and bullied Coco tremble in fear. They were scared that they would end up that way."Minnie, is Coco really dating Lucas?" Someone finally asked Minnie.Minnie snickered. "I told you so, but you guys didn't believe me! Anyone who wants to harm Coco should think twice. Lucas will avenge Coco for all the grievances she suffered back then till now. Watc

The nurse skillfully tied a tourniquet and tapped Coco's arm to locate a vein."Hold her still. Don't let her move when I draw her blood," the nurse instructed."Got it," Lucas responded. He let Coco rest her upper body against his chest while he held her shoulder with one hand and her arm with the other.As the needle pierced her skin, Coco instinctively tried to pull her arm away, but Lucas held her firmly."It hurts..." she complained pitifully."It'll be over soon. Just bear with it," he said patiently. He couldn't recall ever being so patient with any other woman except Serenity.Once finished, Lucas held Coco and waited for the results, which would take about 15 minutes.After ensuring the bleeding had stopped, he got up and disposed of the cotton ball in a nearby trash can.When he returned to her side, Coco was staring at him intently.“The nurse has drawn my blood…” She was still tipsy."Yes," Lucas replied. "It’s finished.""Can I kiss you now?" Coco asked while

Just then, a maid entered the room with the hangover medicine and a cup of warm water. Her eyes widened in disbelief when she saw Lucas massaging Coco. Those who had worked there long enough knew that Lucas always kept his distance from women. They knew that he had liked Serenity for a long time, and the maids often speculated that Lucas might never date seriously again.Yet, last night, Lucas had brought a woman back to the villa, and now, he was massaging her temples. This was not something he would normally do!Lucas noticed the maid’s odd expression and frowned slightly. “Place them on the bedside table and leave.”"Yes, sir." The maid quickly left the room.Lucas handed the medicine and water to Coco. "Take this. It should help with the headache."Coco felt better after taking the hangover medicine. "Thank you for saving me yesterday," Coco said."I should have come earlier. Then, you wouldn't have had to suffer at all," Lucas replied, his expression darkening. “

Coco wondered if Lucas would love her someday as she continued to eat her breakfast. Suddenly, her phone rang, and it was a call from Minnie. “Coco, have you seen today’s news?” Minnie sounded anxious. "News?" Coco paused, "I just woke up. Did something big happen?""Check it out now! The photos of you and Lucas kissing at the hospital yesterday are trending!" Minnie exclaimed.Coco nearly spit out her food again. "What?""I said, the photos of you and Lucas kissing have gone viral. Your face wasn’t blurred out in the original post. So, you’d better prepare yourself. A lot of people will likely know about your relationship with Lucas now," Minnie saidCoco was shocked. She never imagined she would make it to the top of the trending news.While she didn't intend to hide her relationship with Lucas, knowing her boyfriend was a prominent figure in the entertainment industry made her worry about the paparazzi and gossip."What's wrong?" Lucas asked, noticing her troubled expres

After saying that, Layla stormed out without looking back. Loke lowered his gaze, his lips tinged with bitterness.Pay the price? He had already paid the most painful price a long time ago!The price he paid was that there was no longer any love for him in Coco's eyes. He had missed the chance to be with the person he loved forever!In the following days, Coco noticed a clear change in how people treated her. Even her two assistants in the studio would occasionally give her meaningful glances and jokingly ask if she was about to marry into a wealthy family!"We're just dating, what are you talking about?" Coco said."But if things go well, you'll get married, right?" one of the assistants remarked."Yeah, and I read online that the Crown Prince hasn't had a girlfriend in years. Coco, you're his first girlfriend in a very long time!" the other assistant chimed in.Coco chuckled. Her assistants thought Lucas loved her, but she was well aware that his feelings for her were not rom
