Chapter 25 Early the next morning , the guest room door was suddenly flung open . I saw Vanessa , dressed up , pulling off my blanket : Violet , why are you still lying in bed ? I heard you got sick because didnt take you with him , and youve been angry with him . I came here specifically to explain things to him , but youre so rude , still sleeping like this ? I even bought you some stuff I sat on the bed , staring at her without moving . She looked at Lucas with a grievance , as if she had been mistreated . Lucas couldnt bear it and immediately comforted her : Dont think that way . Violet is just recovering from an injury . Shes still a patient . Otherwise , shed never treat you poorly , right ? Vanessa pouted , as if she had just been coaxed , and said : Alright , I just felt like I was already lowering myself enough . And we didnt do it on purpose . My heart condition is really serious . It was an emergency at the time , so it was hard for you to make a decision . As she spoke , she even seemed like she was about to cry . Lucas immediately felt sorry for her , consoling : I know , it wasnt your fault . The situation was too urgent . I watched the two of them , oblivious to everything around them , without saying a word . I suddenly remembered that the landslide shouldnt have happened . Lucas had said it was our four year anniversary and that he wanted to celebrate with me , take me on a trip , just the two of us . He seemed genuinely excited , talking about how beautiful the tulip flowers were at the destination . But just before we left , Vanessa found out . She said hed never taken her to see the tulip flowers . Lucas was torn because he had already promised me a trip for just the two of us , but he still wanted to consult my opinion . But Vanessa dispelled his doubts with just one sentence : E , I know this is really presumptuous of me , and I dont have long to live . If its inconvenient for you , just forget it . 19:45 Divorced From The Pretender 15.8 % Chapter 25 Right in front of me , Lucas said , Ill come to pick you up . Our romantic getaway turned into a trip for three . The biggest difference between Vanessa and me was that whenever she was around , I would always be the tag along . I took their pictures , followed them around , and didnt even sit next to Vanessa during meals . Laucas would peel fruit for her , something I had asked him to do before , but he said it was too much trouble and that he didnt like it . Turns out it wasnt that he didnt like it , it was just that he didnt like me . When we were supposed to return from our trip , Vanessa insisted on staying another day to visit a popular tourist spot . Actually , the day before , I had already noticed that the weather was becoming extreme , and I kept reminding Lucas , but he scolded me because of Vanessa . Vanessa is a heart patient . How can you be so vicious , always targeting her ? We can have our romantic getaway anytime ! In the end , I gave in to Lucass hysteria , and then the landslide happened . Because Lucas protected Vanessa , she only suffered minor injuries . But inertia meant that , as the one in the backseat , I took the full force of the impact , even facing death . But when rescue came , Lucas didnt ask if I was okay ; he just wanted to take Vanessa and leave immediately . One of my colleagues happened to be there , and after seeing my condition , they saved a spot on the rescue helicopter for me , but Lucas insisted on taking Vanessa . He said that if they delayed any longer , hed cancel his donation to the hospital . After he left , my colleague quickly found another rescue helicopter for me , which is what saved my leg . Thinking about this , I suddenly felt too tired to watch Lucas and Vanessa act anymore . I directly said : Youre right , as a patient , shes the most important . Thats why I didnt argue with Lucas yesterday . I also agree that it was right to take her first . Didnt Lucas convey these words to you ? Why are you saying these ridiculous things again ? Or are you insisting that I deViolet what you two did wasnt something From the Pretch 16.0 % Chapter 25 decent before youre satisfied ? Vanessa froze on the spot , probably not expecting me , usually so submissive , to speak to her like that . Lucas also froze , and his face turned bad after he realized what I was saying . You still say youre not making a fuss ? Vanessa came here out of kindness to see you , and this is how you talk ? How could I possibly be with Vanessa ? He looked like I had wronged him , making me laugh . But Vanessas face turned even more unpleasant . Although Lucas favored her , he didnt want to be with her , and that made her unwilling to give up . I didnt bother watching them anymore and directly made plans with my mentor to go out for a meal . When Lucas finally realized and called me , he found out I had blocked him . Looking at the message where he questioned me , I couldnt help but laugh out loud : So he does know that blocking someone is rude ? My mentor cautiously asked me , Have you broken up? I nodded , Not yet , but itll be over soon . I was forcing it before , but I wont anymore . He nodded without arguing . After discussing the project details with my mentor , I received a call from an unknown number . When I answered , Lucass unhappy voice came through : Violet , where are you ? When are you coming back ? Why did you block me ? Im an adult . I have my own things to do . I dont need to report to you . I directly replied . He seemed taken aback for a moment , then said , Im still worried about you running around with injury . your Lucas , next time you tell me something like that , you might want to make sure Vanessa has blocked me on her social media first . Ive already seen the video of you cooking for her . Why didnt you think of me when you were cooking for her ? He was momentarily speechless and then hung up the phone . I had seen that social media post long ago but didnt bother to react because I had more important things to do . But he insisted on telling me he was worried about me , which was just too disgusting . 19:45 Divorced From The Pretender In "A Relationship Kept in The Dark" by CrushReel, the storyline unfolds as renowned photographer Jane finds herself drawn to the charismatic rookie model, Hector.
