Chapter 4

Meanwhile, Lily posted on her social media:

"During that special time of the month, I'm so glad you're always here for me. Touched, heart emoji."

The picture showed a pack of sanitary pads and a man's profile.

The comments section was flooded:

"Ooh, are you two... back together?"

"Lucas still loves you after all."

In their circle of friends, Lily and Lucas were like Cinderella and Prince Charming.

Although Lily was the daughter of his family's former housekeeper, she had managed to climb the social ladder using her connection with Lucas. Everyone in their circle supported their relationship.

However, as the Gray family was a top-tier company in the country, they would never allow their pride and joy to marry a housekeeper's daughter. For them, girls from such backgrounds were fine for casual dating, but could never be welcomed into the Gray family.

To prove herself, Lily had hastily married a wealthy suitor and moved abroad.

It wasn't until a month ago that she returned to the country after her divorce.

I stared at that post for a long time. As I was about to exit, I accidentally liked it.

The next second, Lucas called. Before I could speak, Lily's voice came through the speaker.

"Hey, sis! Are you okay now? I just found out that Lucas left you alone to buy me pads. That's terrible! I've already scolded him for it. How could he treat you like that? I'm apologizing on his behalf."

Her words held no trace of sincerity; they sounded more like bragging.

She then complained to Lucas, "It's all your fault. How could you abandon her when she was in such danger? If anything had happened to her, I wouldn't have forgiven you."

Lucas lazily replied, "The doctors were already there. I couldn't have done much anyway. Besides, you were more urgent, weren't you?"
