Alicia was shocked by what Smith had said. She was shocked to hear that because her father had always been gentle and kind. She had a close relationship with her father, but now he wasn't on her side at all, and she thought that meant he was extremely influential.Alicia's head was now spinning, remembering what she had said to Lucas, and the more she remembered, the more her head was spinning. She had said outrageous things to Lucas and had even insulted him severely.Alicia once again swallowed her saliva with difficulty. She stared at Lucas with quivering pupils, finally nodding and bowing in front of Lucas, unwilling to make matters even bigger."I'm sorry, sir," Alicia spoke softly with trembling lips. "I have done you a great wrong. My words earlier were too much. Please forgive me and do not cancel the cooperation with my father."The image in Alicia's head was now focused on the fate of her father's company. If her father lost such a valuable investor, it would also affect the
Lucas looked at the woman with a cold look in his eyes. "What do you want to say?"Alicia bowed her head, putting on a remorseful face with eyes that were still puffy from crying earlier. "I'm really sorry to you for my outrageous actions earlier, especially since I insulted you so badly."Alicia was actually embarrassed to admit her mistake, but she also did not deny that what she had done was outrageous and might even sound heartbreaking to people who were easily offended.Alicia had also reflected on all her mistakes while Lucas was talking to his father. She shouldn't have been so harsh as to accuse Lucas of being a stalker. It opened her heart and made her feel that she had to talk about this further so that her guilt wouldn't linger. That's why he waited for Lucas."I'm really sorry for doing that." Alicia began to raise her head to look at Lucas. "Are you willing to sincerely forgive me?"Lucas only responded to Alicia's words with a nod of his head. Of course, that made Alicia
Of course, this surprised Alicia. Alicia immediately broke away from Lucas and wiped her dirty clothes with the ice cream."Yes, my goodness. It's so cold." Alicia looked at the person who had bumped into her and only saw him with a condescending look. "Don't you use those eyes of yours to see the road? How could you run into us when it's obvious that the road here is extensive."Alicia babbled out her frustration while Lucas took out a handkerchief from his pants pocket and gave it to Alicia.Alicia grabbed the handkerchief Lucas gave her and wiped it on her clothes. She looked at the man in front of her with annoyance. "Why did you just keep quiet instead of apologizing to me?""Ah." The man who had bumped into Alicia rolled his eyes as he sighed. "You still want me to apologize while you scold me like that."Alicia's brow furrowed deeply. "Oh, so what you're saying is that you don't want to apologize?" She lowered her hand, squeezed Lucas' handkerchief, and took a step closer to hi
Victor immediately looked at Lucas sharply, showing his displeasure. "Get your fucking hands off me right now!" He flung his hand out of Lucas' grasp.However, Lucas didn't immediately let go of Victor's hand. Naturally, that made the man in the white shirt and green striped tie feel annoyed and immediately pushed Lucas' shoulder away from him."You're really looking for trouble with me, huh?" Victor finally managed to break free from Lucas's grasp. He rubbed his hand, which was a little sore from Lucas' tight grip. "I've apologised and asked you to forget about it and talk it over. I even had the intention of replacing your ice cream that fell, but you're just being bold like this." She glanced at Alicia, always pointing her index finger in front of the woman's face. "Especially you, bitch!"Of course, that didn't sit well with Alicia. She glared, girdling her loins boldly. "You call me a bitch? That mouth of yours is really dirty and undignified. Who do you think you are, huh?" Alic
"Wait here. The police will be here soon." Alicia looked at Lucas gently. The look in her eyes was so different from before.Lucas, who had been trapped in this situation, moved his shoulders a little and then improved his posture again. "I don't need to wait. This is your problem." Lucas moved to get out of there. Alicia held his hand. "Are you really okay? I'm really sorry about before."Lucas immediately put his hand away, with no change of expression at all. He still showed calmness because the problem here was not a problem. "Stop changing your attitude. We're not friends."This time Lucas really left her, he didn't have time for that. Even the sooner he left Alicia, the less he would have to get involved in the unpleasant matter later.Meanwhile, Alicia, standing where she was, continued to watch Lucas. Her heart was beating so high that she squeezed his right hand. "I think I like it." She smiled faintly. At that moment, Alicia found something new even though the chaos was
Lucas was surprised to see his friend among the other victims without more intensive help. He stepped closer to Ryan, who had lost consciousness.Several people were there to give him a little help. "Ryan."Lucas spoke again, and the people helping Ryan heard his voice. They looked at each other for a few seconds and then looked back at Lucas. "You know him?"Lucas nodded immediately. This man who was his first friend was, of course, very much remembered. He continued to look at Ryan. The man seemed quite messy, but there was no visible blood because of the severe injuries he had suffered. But that still didn't make Lucas feel relieved."It's good that someone recognized him." The man who helped Ryan exhaled from his mouth. "The paramedics are giving aid to the more seriously injured victims. Your friend was hit but doesn't look too bad."The surroundings were chaotic, with ambulance and police sirens blaring. People were still curious about what happened here. Many of them use their
Lucas could sense the great fear of his friend. He was so agitated that he could not think clearly.Lucas looked further and looked at both of them straight on. "Why your grandmother?"It may seem annoying, but missing a bit of information can lead to bad things and not being able to know what's really going on. This was tough for Ryan, but the man knew the consequences.Ryan tried to calm himself down, he looked back at his friend and his eyes at that moment were glazed over. "My grandmother is sick, Lucas. I need to find a lot of money to give her good treatment."She exhaled and inhaled once more, she felt really uncomfortable, but she had talked about her problem. "I need to raise money. Did you know that I've been living with my grandmother?" He saw Lucas nod. At this moment, Ryan looked so miserable. "I don't want her to leave this world without me being able to do anything, Lucas."Suddenly, Lucas saw that Ryan's eyes were wet with fresh tears. The man was showing his weakness
The Doctors immediately dealt with Ryan's grandmother, who was too busy to provide the best care, which confused Ryan about the situation that was happening now. He kept watching, and he finally spoke when the nurses were getting ready to take his grandmother."Where do you want to take my grandmother? I will pay for the treatment." He felt so anxious at this point for fear that his grandmother would be forced out because she was a little late in paying the hospital fees. "And soon, my grandmother will be applying for surgery."Ryan said what he was thinking as he was now a little relieved that someone would help him with the payment. He was aware of Lucas's presence beside him, confident his friend would help him. The doctor who was there looked at Ryan. He smiled. "Sir, Mrs. Brown will receive the best and most intensive care so the surgery will go smoothly."Ryan was confused because he had not even said this to the information center. He immediately looked at Lucas, who was besi
