Chapter 285
Aveline was taken aback and looked at him suspiciously. “Why aren’t you answering the door? What do you need me for?”
Lucas, however, grabbed her hand and said, “I’m scared to open it alone. Come with me.”
Aveline was confused.
Before she could react, he held her hand firmy and walked towards the door.
What nonsense was he talking about?
She started to struggle. “I don’t want to go. I need to rest.”
Lucas said in a low voice, “It’s already late at night. Who would be knocking at this hour? Come with me and see.”
His words only made her hair stand on end!
“Then I’m scared too! Let go of me!”
Aveline was scared out of her wits..
But Lucas had already reached the door with her, opened it, and someone fell inside.
Lucas quickly pulled Aveline into his arms, skillfully dodging the person who had fallen.
The person landed on the floor.
“Lucas…”
A delicate voice, tinged with a hint of grievance, rang out.
Lucas and Aveline looked down and saw Sophia clumsily getting up. Her prosthetic leg had fallen off!
Aveline’s eyes widened in surprise.

She sat on the floor, crying in deep sorrow. Aveline didn’t know what
to say.
She tugged at Lucas‘ sleeve and said, “Why don’t you help her?”
Lucas” brows furrowed as he glanced at the prosthetic limb. Finally, he bent down to pick it up.
“Lucas, don’t!
To their surprise, Sophia cried out and grabbed the prosthetic, clutching it tightly to her chest, not allowing Lucas to touch it.
Lucas said, “Let me help you put it on.
“No, please, don’t touch it! I don’t want you to see me like this. I don’t have a leg. I’m too ugly, Lucas, don’t look at me.
Sophia held the prosthetic, panicking as she tried to get up and flee. But she was clearly not used to standing on one leg and stumbled after taking a few steps, falling backward!
Lucas‘ eyes darkened, and he suddenly pushed Aveline forward. “Huh?”

Aveline was startled, but her body reacted faster than her mind. She caught the falling Sophia and even asked, “Miss Winter, are you okay?”
The room fell into an awkward silence.
Sophia pulled away from her, a cold glint flashing in her eyes, though her face was full of sadness and embarrassment. “You must be happy seeing me like this. You’re healthy, unlike me. I’ve lost a leg, and now even walking is a struggle…”
Aveline was taken aback and shook her head. “I didn’t mean that, I…”
“I get it. You don’t need to explain!” Sophia interrupted her. “I’ve given up on Lucas. I’ll leave tomorrow morning. I just came tonight to say goodbye. I didn’t expect things to turn out like this.”
