Chapter 195 Mess Up

Kaia had driven the car straight from the dealership.

The dashcam, front and rear, had just been replaced a week earlier.

Before setting out, she'd even called Chris to let him know where

to meet her.

Lucien wasn’t stupid. It didn’t take much to piece everything together.

“The police got the footage from your dashcam,” he said. “A store employee tampered with it. They're giving

their statement

now.

“I checked the truck, too. But there’s nothing suspicious.

“Since you're awake, I'm heading back to the office. The housekeeper will take care of you. If anything comes up,

contact Jason. He'll also handle the follow-up with the police.”

After giving his instructions, Lucien stood up to leave.

A sudden wave of panic surged through Kaia.

She could tell he was angry.

“Don’t go,” she blurted, grabbing his wrist with the hand that

had the IV. “Please... don’t go, honey.”

It was the first tshe had ever called him that, soft and affectionate, in the middle of the day.

Lucien’s heart softened, but the thought of what she had done made him harden again just as quickly.

If he didn’t teach her a lesson, she’d never learn to value her own

life.

“Let go,” he ordered, his voice cold and cutting.

Kaia’s nose stung. His merciless tone struck her like a slap.

“Okay.” She released his wrist, feeling wronged.

Lucien looked down. The IV on the back of her delicate hand had started to backflow. His chest tightened with

frustration and helplessness.

“It’s backflowing. Can't you see that?”

His tone was sharp, but he moved gently as he turned off the IV and called for the nurse.

“Be more careful,” the nurse said. “Don’t move this hand with the drip.”

Once the nurse left, Lucien’s irritation returned. He lightly

pinched her cheeks. “Have you learned your lesson? Still planning to pull this kind of stunt again?”

The next second, a single teardrop splashed onto his hand.

It was scalding, and Lucien panicked.

“Why are you crying...” He shifted from pinching to rubbing, his fingers gently caressing her skin. “Why are you

crying, hmm?”

Kaia hadn't meant to cry.

But his voice was too harsh, and it hit her in all the wrong places. She felt like a child who'd been spoiled and

suddenly scolded, the lump in her throat swelling until it burst.

Once her tears started flowing, they wouldn't stop.

Lucien didn’t know what to do with her anymore. He carefully pulled her into his arms, keeping an eye on the IV.

If it started backflowing again, she’d probably cry even harder.

“There, there... It’s my fault. Don’t cry anymore, sweetheart. If you really need to cry, save it for tonight... in

bed, okay?”

Even his attempts al comfort were completely inappropriate. She pinched hard at his waist.

“Ow! You brat. I'm the one who's comforting you, and you're,

still punishing me?”

Kaia smiled faintly. For once, she felt genuinely cherished.

“Lucien,” she blurted out, “do you like me?”

She wanted to ask this forever but kept holding back, scared she was making stuff up in her head.

Lucien’s affection felt like a spring breeze, gentle and quiet, brushing past her cheek before slipping right into

her heart. It warmed her little by little, wrapping around her whole world.

He was a wolf, full of hunger and possession. But he was also a tree, steady and dependable.

His love was both abrupt and inevitable, and it belonged to her

alone.

So this is what it feels like to be loved.

Lucien stiffened. He cleared his throat awkwardly. “Yeah.

“Don’t get started,” he warned.

“If you act up, I'll deal with you when we're home.”

His threat worked Jike a charm. Kaia pushed him away and burrowed back under the covers.

Lucien looked at her in disbelief. “Seriously? Where do you think you're hiding?”

Kaia blinked at him. “I'm sorry.”

God, | just got into a car accident. How does he still have that kind of thing on his mind?

“Let’s be serious,” Lucien said. “Do you know who did it?”

Kaia’s expression turned cold. Her tone carried a touch of bitter mockery. “I do.”

Who else could it be but Sally?

Right after Sally called Sue, she tipped Kaia off.

Sally had played it both ways—first

Lucien listened quietly as she explained. Her tone was flat, as if it were no big deal. But his right hand wouldn't

stop trembling.

If any part of that plan had worked, if even one thing had gone

Wrong...

Would | have lost her forever?

He couldn't think about that possibility. It terrified him to the

core.

Not in a million years could he accept such a tragic end.

“Kaia Domont.” His voice was low and firm, and he said her nin full.

Kaia blinked at him, a little stunned. She could tell he got angry again.

And this time, it didn’t look like he'd be easy to talk down.

“When did you find out?” he asked.

Kaia bit her lip. “The night before the wedding.”

Lucien inhaled sharply. He'd gone to see her the night before their wedding.

She'd had so many chances to tell him, but she hadn’t said a

“I'm going,” Lucien snapped. “I really do have work.”

This time, he just walked out without hesitation.

Kaia was left staring after him, her chest tightening.

Maybe... maybe I really did mess up.
