Lukas froze for a moment, his expression changing slightly as he instantly thought of the scene where Anthony and Sophia were chatting and laughing together. He remained silent, his whole being feeling uncomfortable.
Thinking of the two of them together made him feel uneasy.
Cole thought that Lukas didn’t know who Anthony was, so he explained, “I heard he is the
director of the Rivers Health Medical Center. He also provided evidence for Bella’s fake
suicide. Have you heard of him, Mr. Strakovski?”
Lukas’s face turned ashen, and his tone was very bad, “I know now. Don’t tell Sophia that I
offered to provide clients for her.”
After saying this, Lukas hung up the phone directly.
He had never experienced such a situation before, feeling like he was offering someone
kindness and getting coldness in return.
In the afternoon after work, I went to the hospital to see Ava.
As a result, I met Lukas in the hospital parking lot.
We looked at each other, and Lukas instantly remembered that Anthony came to me in
order to customize the jewelry in the morning. He immediately averted his gaze and walked
towards the elevator.
I pouted but didn’t look at him either.
Inside the elevator, we both treated each other as if we were air.
When the elevator arrived, we walked out one after the other.
I walked behind Lukas but was blocked by him.
I was about to step over Lukas to go to Ava’s ward.
But before I could pass him, I heard a sweet and familiar voice saying, “Lukas, you’re here.”

Following that, I caught a glimpse of a figure walking towards Lukas, reaching out to hold
his arm.
I raised an eyebrow slightly. It was Gerald’s cousin, Elena.
Lukas had initially wanted to avoid her, but somehow, he remembered the affectionate scenes between me, Cole, and Anthony in the past couple of days.
His movements stiffened slightly, and he didn’t manage to evade, so Elena held his arm.
I felt somewhat surprised. When Elena came with Gerald to apologize before, I also noticed Lukas’s cold and distant attitude towards Elena.
I didn’t expect a complete 180–degree change today.
Indeed, the heart of a man is hard to understand, and I couldn’t figure it out.
Elena stole a glance at Lukas, hiding the admiration and infatuation in her eyes, her heart bubbling with pink bubbles.
Every time she used to approach him, Lukas would always avoid her. Today, he allowed her to hold his arm, and she didn’t know what to say in excitement.
All her attention was on Lukas, and they walked together towards the hospital room, completely oblivious to me behind them.
Her voice was dripping with sweetness, “I just heard that Elias is in the hospital, so I rushed over to see him. I didn’t expect you to be here too.”
I couldn’t help but roll my eyes. It was obvious that Elena came for Lukas.
Lukas seemed as if he didn’t notice me behind him and whispered to Elena, “You’re too thoughtful.”
Elena immediately covered her mouth, pouting playfully, “Don’t say that, Elian is my family.”
Lukas couldn’t keep up the act and responded with a nonchalant “Hmm.”
I felt a bit overwhelmed by the scene. I shook my head and hurried to Ava’s hospital room. I

couldn’t stand it anymore.
Lukas probably didn’t know that while he was trying to act, I was thinking like this. He’d probably be quite frustrated if he knew.
When I entered Ava’s hospital room, Ava stretched her neck to look outside.
But when she saw no one else coming in after me, her face fell.
looked at her impatiently, “What are you looking at? I came to see you. Aren’t you
satisfied?”
Ava looked dejected, “Did Cole not come?”
I frowned at her and sighed helplessly, “He just came back from a business trip and has a lot of work to catch up on, so he’s working overtime.”
Upon hearing this, Ava’s expression improved a little, “He must be working very
hard.”
I couldn’t help but feel annoyed, “Can you have some self–respect? Now that you’ve found him, you act as if you don’t have anyone else in your eyes.”
I finished speaking but still felt unhappy, “Besides, I’ve also worked hard. I came to see you right after work. Why don’t you mention that?”
Ava looked apologetic, “Then don’t come tomorrow. My injury is not a big problem, and I’ll be discharged in a couple of days.”
I felt my heart sink. That wasn’t what I meant?
“What do you want to eat? I’ll order it for you.” I didn’t want to waste any more time with this stubborn girl.
Ava blinked her eyes and looked at me, “I heard from Cole that there’s an old and authentic porridge shop at the hospital entrance, very suitable for patients.”
I stared at Ava for a while. “I see you’re not interested in porridge. You just want to eat what Cole mentioned, right?”
A rare hint of embarrassment appeared on Ava’s usually cold face. “You know.”

I almost coughed out blood, “Fine, you win. Since it’s not far away, I’ll go and buy it for you. Anyway, I won’t have time to come tomorrow.”
Tomorrow, I had to attend the plagiarism case as the plaintiff and would have to appear in
court.
Besides, Ella and Anthony’s custom–made jewelry had already started production, so I had to keep an eye on it. Otherwise, if anything went wrong, it would be troublesome to redo it.
left to buy dinner.
In Elias’s hospital room, Lukas was finding it hard to tolerate Elena’s clinginess.
However, he didn’t want to lose his temper in front of Elias.
At that moment, his phone rang.
