The two agreed to meet at a private restaurant near the hospital.
Gwendolyn finished her classes at around four o'clock in the afternoon. When she arrived at the
restaurant, it was already almost six in the evening. Hence, she could have her dinner there.
Lucy was not too far away from the restaurant, so she was the one who arrived first.
When Gwendolyn walked into the private room, she saw Lucy drinking some alcohol. Hence, she
tugged Lucy's arm as she sat beside the latter. “Don't drink too much.”
Lucy broke into a smile as soon as she saw her. It was then a trace of vitality finally appeared on her
attractive face. “Gwen, I'll ask them to serve the food now. Can you accompany me for some drinks?”
Gwendolyn knitted her brows. “What happened?”
After all, she had a low alcohol tolerance. Moreover, Lucy was not someone who enjoyed drinking as
she had been selling wines in nightclubs. Hence, she should feel nothing but disgust toward alcohol.
“I'm delighted. Melanie can finally proceed with her surgery next Friday.” Lucy hugged Gwendolyn as
she said that. “Gwen, finally, this day has come. There's hope for Melanie and me now.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMelanie had been staying in the hospital for two years, and because of that, Lucy had spent everything.
Gwendolyn's eyes lit up. “They've found her the bone marrow? That's great! We have to celebrate.”
Patting Lucy's shoulder, she added, “I'll have some drinks with you today.”
Just then, the waiter came in to serve the food. Gwendolyn poured herself a glass of alcohol before
filling Lucy's glass. “Luce, things will get better for Melanie and you.”
As long as they could leave the hospital, everything would definitely get better.
Gwendolyn recalled how rough things were for Lucy over the past two years. She had to take care of
Melanie in the hospital in the morning, and she needed to work at Night City at night. She had spent
almost all her time in the hospital as if she was a resident there.
A bright smile bloomed on Lucy's face. She raised her hand and clinked her glass with Gwendolyn's.
“We'll all become better.”
Lucy had finished a few glasses of alcohol before Gwendolyn arrived at the restaurant. They then
enjoyed their food and alcohol while playing some drinking games together.
Not long after, Lucy was a little drunk. Hence, she told Gwendolyn about something that had been
troubling her recently. “Gwen, you know Lucas, don't you?”
For some reason, Gwendolyn felt the white wine tasted nice too. The more she drank, the more
enjoyable she felt. Holding her glass, she nodded vigorously at Lucy. “Of course, I know him! Mr.
Gomez is Patrick's childhood friend.”
Lucy sent another spoonful of food into her mouth. Biting her food angrily, she said, “He's such a
badass in bed! He's always asking me to try a lot of embarrassing positions! I...” She then covered her
face and continued, “Gwen, I was once married, and I've given birth to a daughter. However, I have no
experience in that area.”
Gwendolyn widened her eyes. “What? Did Lucas bully you?”
That was the only thing she understood. As for the “positions” Lucy mentioned, she did not quite get
what the latter meant.
Lucy nodded. “Yes. He bullied me! He's a bad man.”
She thought of how Lucas bullied her by forcing her to sleep with him every night for over half a month.

Fortunately, there were only a few days left. As long as Melanie finished her surgery, Lucy would have
nothing to do with Lucas anymore.
At that thought, Lucy let out a sigh of relief. I've finally made it through.
Upon hearing what Lucy said, Gwendolyn could no longer hold back her anger. She took out her phone
and called Lucas without hesitation.
“Hello?” Lucas' cold yet magnetic voice sounded from the other end of the line.
“Lucas, you b*stard! Why did you bully Lucy? Come out and challenge me one-on-one now!”
Lucy broke into laughter. After drinking another glass of alcohol, she poked Gwendolyn's head. “Silly
girl. He's a soldier, and he's good at fighting! There's no way you'll beat him. You'll even get yourself
injured for nothing.”
Gwendolyn could not care less about that. She continued shouting through the phone, “Lucas, come to
Moore Restaurant now! I'll be waiting for you here. If you don't come, I'll go to your place!”
After hanging up the call, she continued cursing, “That d*mned man! How dare he bullies my Luce. I'll
beat him to death.”
Lucas was perplexed as he did not know why he got scolded out of the blue. However, he could tell
from the call that Gwendolyn and Lucy were drunk.
