He really didn’t want to see that face of hers, full of love and longing, tinged with bashfulness and hesitation.

But just now, when he’d covered her with the blanket, he'd noticed how red her knees were. So, still wearing that

cold expression, he turned to grab the ointment.

“James, I'll just...”

Lily was about to say she'd head back to her room.

If he ever felt unwell again, she hoped he’d just call Wind Pub immediately.

Preferably, he could go to his other villa outside the city to handle it, not make a scene here at the Luke

estate.

The elders were pretty conservative-if they ever caught him being intimate with a man, she was afraid they

wouldn't be able to handle it.

But before she could finish speaking, she saw him kneel down on one knee in front of her with a tube of ointment

in hand.

Clearly, he was going to apply the medicine to her knees.

She really had practiced that flying scene over and over again tonight, and her knees were aching, but the

moment his fingers gently touched her skin, spreading the cool ointment across the swelling, most of the pain

disappeared in an instant.

As his fingers moved to her other knee, she couldn't help but glance down at him.

He was still dressed in his usual black slacks and crisp white shirt.

The top button was done all the way up, spotless and pristine, carrying a certain ascetic air.

With his face that was far too handsand refined, and that naturally aloof aura, he almost seemed holy.

Sometimes she thought of him as an unattainable flower on a high mountain. Other times, he seemed like a cold

god standing tall above the mortal world, indifferent to all things.

But now, he was on one knee, gently applying medicine to her.

In that moment, it felt like a god was bowing his head for her.

Her heart started pounding wildly./She quickly turned her face to the side and warned herself to stop having such

foolish thoughts.

He was only helping her with the ointment because Grandma and Grandpa had reminded him multiple times to

take good care of her-not because he actually cared or liked her.

There was no way to apply the ointment without looking at her.

As he carefully smoothed it over, he couldn't avoid noticing her delicate, beautiful ankles.

The marks there had already turned into bruises-clear evidence of how rough he'd been the night before.

And not just on her ankles. Her body was probably covered in them.

He thought she should apply the ointment elsewhere too, but the worst bruises were around her front and her

waist.

If he tried to help her with those... it would be way out of line.

He was also afraid he’d lose control again-act like sbeast and take advantage of her.

“Lily”

After he finished applying the medicine, he quickly averted his gaze and said coolly, “Take this ointment with

you. If anything else hurts, you can use it.”

“Your knees are really swollen. You'd better not do any intense physical activity for the next few days.”

“Okay.”

Lily responded obediently, but she didn’t plan to follow that advice.

Tomorrow was New Year's Eve, so she didn’t need to go to the theater, but right after the holiday, she had a

string of performances. She couldn't afford to slack off. Even if she didn’t practice on stage, she'd still train in

private.

James also remembered that tomorrow was New Year's Eve.

After handing her the medicine, he asked, “Are you spending New Year's at home, or with Jackson?”

Lily answered honestly, “At home.”

She barely knew Jackson. Of course she wasn’t going to spend New Year's Eve with him.

She wanted to spend as much tas possible with Grace and Nancy before the divorce.

She'd already picked the small town she’d move to afterward.

Once she left for that place, she wouldn't be coming back.

When he heard she wasn’t spending the holiday with Jackson, James's frown relaxed a little.

Still, he knew he had no business getting entangled with her. Who she loved, who she wanted to spend her life

with-it wasn’t his concern.

He didn’t say anything more. Once she put her jacket back on, he opened the door coldly and gestured for her to

leave.

Lily knew he didn't want to see her,

She'd also picked up on his reaction-how his face instantly darkened when she said she’d spend the holiday at

the Luke house.

Clearly, this kind of family gathering made him really not want to see her.

The Luke family’s New Year's Eve was especially lively.

The elders all gave Lily red envelopes filled with money.

But what warmed her most wasn’t the money-it was the laughter, the heartfelt blessings, and the care they all

showed each other.

She really loved the Luke family.

She really didn’t want to leave them.

If only James didn’t hate her so much-then even after the divorce, she’d want to cback to visit from tto

time.
