Since She Met Lucian

Chapter 30 Ex-girlfriend And Wife, Which One Do You Choose

"Lucian? Can you come here? I... I have acute gastroenteritis. It's so painful that I can't even walk..." Sasha's voice sounded very weak on the phone.

"Okay," Lucian agreed, eyebrows knitted together.

He put the car in reverse and saw Amelia's figure from the rearview mirror. Slamming his foot on the brakes, he said urgently, "Get in the car. I need to deal with something."

This confused Amelia thoroughly. If he had something to do then why would she need to get in the car?

Did it have something to do with her father?

"How's my father?" Amelia blurted out as soon as she got in the car.

With his eyebrows furrowed, Lucian said indifferently, "Your father's fine. It's Sasha."

Amelia was relieved to hear this. However, if anything, she was even more confused now. What did Amelia have anything to do with this?

"Why don't you just go there? Why do you have to take me with you?" she pressed.

"Can you just be quiet?" There was a hint of coldness in Lucian's voice. It seemed that he wasn't in the mood to talk.

Amelia closed her mouth and kept it shut for the rest of the car ride.

She snorted to herself, 'Why does he have to take me with him? Wouldn't his girlfriend be jealous if she saw me with him?'

Amelia intended to get off the car when they arrived at the downtown area however Lucian just kept driving the car until they reached a quiet residential area.

The area seemed like a nice place to live as it had trees everywhere and even the air here seemed fresher.

Getting off the car first, Lucian turned around and said to Amelia, "Go up with me."

"Okay," Amelia didn't know what was going on but Lucian seemed a little worried so she just followed behind him.

On the sixth floor of building B.

Lucian stood in front of the door and knocked. After a while, the door was opened.

"Lucian, you're finally here..." Sasha pulled him in for a hug and a kiss.

'Oh my God! Did Lucian ask me to come here so I could watch him make out with his girlfriend?'

Even though it was Sasha who had pulled him in for a hug and a kiss, he still didn't refuse and that said something.

After which, Sasha buried her head in his chest.

"Are you all right?" Lucian's voice was cold and emotionless.

It was so strange to see him treat his girlfriend like this.

"Lucian, it hurts..." Sasha whined. She grabbed Lucian's hand and intimately led it to her stomach.

They seem to have forgotten that Amelia was there.

Amelia felt a little embarrassed. Just as she was about to turn to leave, Lucian suddenly said, "Amelia, Dr. Chen's number is on my phone. Could you kindly give him a call for me?"

Uh... She couldn't believe that Lucian spoke to her. Wouldn't his girlfriend be jealous?

"Okay," Amelia replied awkwardly.

Meanwhile, Sasha's face turned white as a sheet.

"Lucian, don't bother. I have medicine here. It hurt so bad a while ago that I couldn't stand up but I'm feeling much better now," Sasha stammered. It was quite obvious that Sasha was just faking it. She beamed at Amelia and said, "Thank you, Amelia."

Amelia waved her hand and answered, "You're welcome."

She was pleasantly surprised to find that not only was Sasha beautiful but she was also nice too.

"Come in, come in, don't stand outside." Sasha stretched out her hands and led her inside.

At this moment, Amelia felt like she was a puppet being used by Lucian. She snuck a glance at Lucian and noticed that he didn't seem quite too happy.

"Amelia, my medicine's in the drawer. Could you please grab it for me?" Sasha pleaded as she caressed her stomach.

"Okay." Amelia had experienced indigestion before too so she knew how uncomfortable it could get. She handed Sasha the pills and said, "Miss Sasha, would you like me to cook some porridge for you?"

Sasha was surprised. She looked at Lucian, not knowing what to say.

Amelia saw that Sasha had turned to Lucian so she added, "Oh, don't worry. Lucian's very concerned about you actually. He's probably scared to death right now. I'm going to cook you some porridge. It'll be good for your stomach."

Then she went to the kitchen.

As Sasha watched this entire scene unfold, she let out a chuckle. She couldn't help but think how easy it was to get along with Amelia.

"Have a seat, Lucian." Sasha walked over and pulled Lucian's arm.

"Why did you pretend to be sick?" Lucian said coldly, his face emotionless.

Sasha was taken aback. Feigning innocence, she said, "What are you talking about? I'm hurting right now..."

All of a sudden, she threw herself into Lucian's arms. Then acting weakly, she put Lucian's hand on her chest and said pitifully, "Lucian, I lived in another country for three years. Every time I got sick, I had to suck it up and lie in bed all day. Now that I'm back, I know I have you with me if I get sick. I just want to see you all the time. When I see you, I feel like the pain goes away..."

Amelia was about to ask if she could put some mushrooms in the porridge however upon seeing Lucian and Sasha in such an intimate position, she held her tongue and let them be.

She then decided on her own to just put mushrooms in the porridge since it was good for gastroenteritis.

Sasha couldn't help but be proud as she watched Amelia in the kitchen.

Lucian then said,

"Well, since you're not feeling well, why don't you go lie down first?" Sasha's brief mention of living abroad made Lucian feel guilty all over again.

The moment Sasha pounced on him, he didn't push her away.

After he took her to the bedroom, Lucian intended to go to the kitchen to see how Amelia was doing. However, Sasha grasped his wrist and refused to let him go.

"Sasha, please don't!" At this moment, he just wanted to check on Amelia.

Lucian had assumed that Sasha would freak out if she saw that Amelia was with him but that wasn't what happened. It seemed that Sasha didn't even mind that Amelia was there much to his annoyance.

"Lucian, I know you're married but you should at least give me time to process all of this." Tears welled up in her eyes as she continued, "Can we still be friends? Even if we can't be together, you can't leave me. You're the only family I have."

Lucian didn't feel bad for her at all. He said, "Just rest well. I'll go and check on Amelia."

This didn't sit well with Sasha. Grabbing the hem of Lucian's clothes, she begged, "Lucian, please. Just stay with me for a while."

Frowning, Lucian merely stood still letting Sasha pull him towards her.

Sasha thought that Lucian would at least sit down and accompany her for a while. She didn't expect him to leave right away. Her heart sank at the thought of this but she refused to give up.

"Lucian, I love you so much. I never regretted anything. I don't care that your mother did and said all those things to me. I don't blame you for that. I don't think that you're a heartless person. You wouldn't leave me," Sasha sobbed. She truly looked pitiful with tears streaming down her face. She moved to close in the distance between her and Lucian.

Burying her head in his arms, she breathed in his scent and his warmth. Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Bravely, she blurted out, "Lucian, I love you. I love you so much!"

Her voice was raised a few octaves higher as if she was excited.

Meanwhile, Amelia had just finished cooking the porridge and was just about to knock on their door. However, when she heard them, she stopped in her tracks. Trembling, she recalled the last time she caught Yolanda and Jasper together.

But it was different this time. This time, her heart ached so bad that she felt as if everything was spinning.
