"Don't you find it strange? Why did your condition deteriorate so suddenly? After only three days, you were unresponsive."
"Lucas poisoned the original you when he was 17, the first time he was beaten."
"The rare neurotoxin his father left him with had been dormant for almost ten years before it resurfaced."
I bit my lip, finally understanding why, when my relationship with Lucas had softened, his eyes always seemed to carry sadness.
I crouched in the corner of the hospital, my hands covering my face.
The system comforted me: "He didn't want to kill you."

Originally, Lucas was distant but methodical, always reliable, never straying from his course.
I never expected him to be someone who would poison without blinking.
I stood up gloomily, brushing off the dust from my clothes. "I don't want to find him right now."
But as I turned to head toward the stairs, after just a couple of steps, I unexpectedly met Lucas's cold gaze.
He was wearing a hospital gown, his figure slender, and even though he was sitting in a wheelchair, he still exuded an intimidating aura.
I instinctively took two steps back.
"Why are you avoiding me, Seraphine?"
Lucas smiled at me. "Aren't you happy to see me again?"
