Calista was just about to leave when the door opened. Lucian reached out and pulled her inside.The bathroom wasn't misted from the shower, so Calista could see every part of Lucian's naked body. She could see every crisscrossing scar on his body at a glance.Although they were lighter now, they were still very noticeable. Every time Calista saw them, she couldn't help but think about the video she had been forced to watch in the abandoned warehouse. She thought about how Lucian had been so badly tortured that he was covered in blood. Yet, he still stubbornly refused to submit to Kyros.No matter how many times she saw those scars and how many times she thought of him lying in a pool of blood, she always felt as if her heart was being pricked by needles. It caused her unspeakable pain.She only glanced at them briefly before looking away. She was afraid that if she continued to look, she wouldn't be able to reign her emotions in, and that Lucian would grow suspicious.The doctor

After having lunch, Lucian and Henry left for the company. The former seemed to have more to say to Calista, but she was still upset with him for his blunt remarks. So, she didn't pay him any attention. "I've said everything that needs to be said, and I've handed over what needs to be handed over. If there's still anything you don't understand, ask me while I'm still here at the company," Henry said to LucianHearing how impatient Henry sounded to pass the buck, asked, "Are you not coming to the company tomorrow?""You're the head of the company. I only helped manage things here while you were away for treatment. Now that you're back, it's only natural for me to hand everything back to you," Henry said as matter-of-factly."I'm going on a vacation with your mother. We have a flight to catch tomorrow at 11:00 a.m., so you only get half a day. Even if you have to stay up all night long to straighten out the company's affairs, I won't take time out of my vacation to help you with you

Calista was at a loss for words. The friendship between the men was truly as flimsy as a piece of cardboard. She didn't say anything more, and Lucian got back to work. He still had a pile of documents to go through. Half an hour later, Simon knocked on the door and came in with a takeout bag. "This is the takeout that Mr. Baker ordered for you, Mr. Northwood."He approached the desk, set down the bag, and left without telling Lucian what its contents were. The takeout bag wasn't sealed, so he took a peak inside.Lucian reached into the bag to fish out the box while Calista watched. It was a beautifully packaged box of tea leaves with the words "black tea" printed on the hard black gift box. Calista couldn't help but smile as she gave him a thumbs-up. "With all the drama going on in your life, this is the perfect gift for you."He didn't bother to respond. He knew exactly what she meant by that. He tossed the box aside and didn't touch it for the rest of the day.…Lucian had

The young man blushed and stammered, "My… my money is in the bank and my card isn't linked to my phone, so…"Timothy held his ground. "There's an ATM downstairs and I have a POS machine in my car. Which is more convenient for you?" The man hesitated for a few seconds and then looked at Yara for help. "Ms. Quinn…"He was a handsome young man with a slender and muscular figure. His looks alone would have attracted a large wave of fans if he had entered the entertainment industry. Yara couldn't help but sympathize when he stared at her with such pitiable eyes. She glanced at Timothy, who looked back at her coldly. "Do you have anything to say?"Her sympathy was helpless. She didn't dare confront Timothy recklessly. It wasn't worth arguing with Timothy over a handsome face that did not belong to her. She shook her head decisively.Timothy turned his gaze back to the young man. "Still hesitating?"The young man replied defiantly, "I owe Ms. Quinn money, not you. What's it got to do

It couldn't have been a wedding banquet, given how hurried and casual it sounded. Lucian had been away from Capeton for the past six months. Various rumors circulated in their social circle about his sudden departure. With his return, Selena had organized a banquet to dispel the ongoing rumors. It was also to provide Lucain an opportunity to reconnect with people.The banquet was held at the Everglade Manor. Calista accompanied Lucian as his wife and mingled with the crowd.She held his arm and watched as he effortlessly greeted and socialized with others. There were no signs of anything unusual.Before the banquet started, Calista had contemplated how to discreetly introduce the identities of the guests to Lucian, given that only a few people close to him were aware of his memory loss. She was concerned about the potential awkwardness if he couldn't recognize them. However, she soon realized it was unnecessary.Lucian not only knew how to address everyone, but he also engaged
