Chapter 3
I limped to the Werewolf Council and asked the staff there to take me to the hospital.
I had my assistant bring me a new phone.
When I inserted my old SIM card into the new phone, a call immediately came through.
"Nyla! You finally answered! What happened?"
My fiancé Ethan was so anxious he was nearly crying.
I looked at my freshly bandaged foot and said with downcast eyes: "Nothing serious, just sprained my ankle."
"What! Is it serious? Did you go to the hospital?"
His words were urgent, as if he wished he could appear by my side immediately.
"My plane was halfway through the flight when it had to turn back due to weather. As soon as the plane landed, I called you, but no one answered. I was scared to death."
I comforted Ethan for a while.
After hanging up, I saw that Damian, who never posted on Ins, had actually made a post.
It was a wedding photo of him and Kalia.
I left a comment:
[True lovers finally together, wishing you both happiness]
Soon, Damian called me.
I hung up and blocked the number.
Just as I left the examination room, I ran into Damian and Kalia coming out from next door.
"Alone?" Damian unconsciously furrowed his brow.
Kalia's face filled with hatred.
She walked over and pressed against Damian, instantly changing her expression, linking his arm with a smile:
"Nyla, hasn't your fiancé arrived yet? If you really had a fiancé, how could he let you come to the hospital alone?"
Just then, my phone rang again.
I couldn't bother explaining and quickly limped toward the hospital exit.
They followed unhurriedly behind.
"Nyla, you didn't just make someone up because Damian and I are getting married, did you?"
Hearing Kalia's words, Damian's face showed an expression of understanding. He touched Kalia's head with a face full of tenderness:
"Nyla, you don't need to save face by saying you're getting married too. After all, there aren't many people in this world like Kalia who would wait over twenty years."
Kalia linked Damian's arm and acted cute: "Damian~ Don't bring up the past. For you, I'm willing to do anything."
My phone vibrated.
I pointed at my phone to the people behind me:
"Sorry, my ride is here. I'll introduce him to you another day."
"Nyla, at this point, are you still going to lie to us?"
Damian stood not far from me, apparently waiting to see if I'd actually called a car.
A driver had just pulled over.
Damian pulled out a wad of cash and threw it through the car window:
"Cancel this ride. You don't need to pick her up."
Then he turned back to look at me with a half-smile, seemingly convinced that the person I mentioned was fictitious:
"Where are you going? I'll take you."
Kalia enthusiastically opened the back door for me: "Nyla, why don't you just admit it!"
"Even if that person was just something you made up on the spot, it's fine. Damian and I promise we won't laugh at you."
I sighed, somewhat amused.
Since these two were so eager to know who my fiancé was, a little earlier didn't matter.
Besides, they both knew him, and were very familiar with him.
The car got on the road.
Kalia kept feeding Damian fruit, then lay in his arms to sleep.
Damian glanced at me from time to time, but only saw me holding my phone, replying to messages.
A faint smile constantly hung at the corner of my mouth.
His heart immediately filled with irritation.
Messages kept popping up on my phone.
It kept ringing nonstop.
Seeing this, Damian felt even more stifled.
"What, getting your friends to pretend to be that person looking for you?"
I finished replying to the last message and locked my phone: "There's no need for that."
He gritted his teeth, wanting to snatch my phone.
I slightly shifted my hand, dodging: "Damian, you have no right to check my phone anymore."
Anger spread across his brow.
Finally, he turned his head away and stopped looking at me: "Fine, I'll see how long you can keep up this act."
When we arrived at the station, I naturally had to get out and wait.
With the mentality of watching a good show, Kalia also pulled Damian out with her.
The crowd gradually dispersed, and the smile on Kalia's face grew deeper.
"Nyla, it's pretty cold today. Go home. This time I'll definitely have Damian take you home..."
But when Ethan walked up to me and hugged me tightly, kissing me.
Damian and Kalia's faces instantly turned deathly pale.
Damian walked over with an ashen face and pulled me away: "Nyla, how can you be with him!"
Kalia was even more angry, clutching her chest tightly.
She grabbed Ethan's hand and questioned loudly: "How can you be with her!"
