Since She Met Lucian

Shelly was still in the hospital. Apparently, Edmund was the culprit behind the spread of the rumor that she committed suicide because of love. He was trying to destroy Lucian's reputation, which would, in turn, have a bad influence on the reputation of the Zhan Group.

"But I don't want to see them!" Shelly said pointedly, grabbing Lucian's white shirt and pointing at Emma and Jonny.

"Mom, I've already hired someone to take care of her. Now, since she doesn't want to accept our kindness, you don't have to stay here and waste your time," Jonny said to Emma, feeling guilty. After that, he turned to look at Lucian and said, "Lucian, come with me."

Shelly's face suddenly turned pale. With much urgency, she grabbed Lucian's clothes and wouldn't let him go. "Lucian," she said, her tone desperate. "I'm... I'm feeling a sharp pain in the back of my head. Please stay here with me." Using her incredible acting skills, she was able to shed convincing tears.

Lucian forcefully shook Shelly's grip off of him. "I have something else to deal with. I'll come back to see you after work." His voice was deep but it was devoid of any kind of emotion.

The expression on Shelly's face changed dramatically. With Lucian evidently not caring about her and her welfare, she broke down and cried, "I don't care! I'm hurt because of you! You must stay with me!"

"Really, Shelly? Are you really doing this right now?" Jonny said, his voice imbued with annoyance. "You're an embarrassment!" He came over and grabbed Shelly's wrist tightly, also trying to force her to let go of Lucian's coat.

Shelly saw that and instantly recognized the opportunity it was presenting. She took hold of Jonny's arm and pulled herself out of balance. With a loud thud, she fell to the ground, to the surprise of everyone.

"Shelly!" Emma shouted as she rushed over to Shelly. She held her in her arms and said anxiously, "Jonny, call the doctor!"

Shelly didn't expect that she would hit her head on the floor that hard. All she wanted to do was to pretend to fall, but now, she was unconscious.

Lucian, despite his demeanor earlier, quickly came to Shelly's aid as what happened worried him so much. Gently, he carried her and put her on the bed.

As doctors arrived and tests were conducted, Shelly's condition became clear: she was in a coma because of the fall.

Because of that, Lucian had no choice but to stay by her side at the hospital. Emma stayed with him and brought him food, but Jonny had to return to the An Group because he had to take care of various things.

In a villa in the south of the city, Amelia was in deep thought as she looked out the window.

"Amelia, it's time to eat." Courtney seldom cooked, but after she found out that Amelia was not in a good mood, she took it upon herself to prepare food. When everything was ready, she immediately called Amelia.

She tried her best to look as jolly as possible for her friend.

Amelia gave Courtney a puzzled stare the moment the smell of the food hit her nose. It made it clear that Courtney wasn't really someone who regularly cooked.
