Chapter 15


    When Allison woke up, she found herself at home.


    Leah nagan–Eaden, for some reason, despite branding her without any anesthesia, had given her


    some high–end medicines to help her recover afterward.


    A few days of rest and the pain on her back was bearable. Yet every time she saw the scar, she felt a


    sense of humiliation.


    “Allison, I’ve done what I promised. The rest is beyond my control.” Leah nagan–Eaden said with a


    vindictive grin on her face, sipping hertte in the living room of the nagan family mansion.


    Allison clenched her fists at her sides.


    Leah nagan–Eaden had indeed kept her promise. She had a specialist examine Allison’s mother


    immediately after the engagement party.


    But the diagnosis still called for a kidney transnt.


    Allison said expressionlessly, “Thanks.”


    Leah nagan–Eaden, unfazed by her attitude, said with a smile, “Don’t sweat it. As long as you keep


    ying ‘Penelope‘, I’ll keep helping you.”


    Allison’s eyes widened in disbelief. “I have to keep ying Ms. nagan?”


    “Right. Penelope needs more time in the hospital, and Lucian is usually busy, so he won’t be looking


    for her every day. All you need is to have Penelope’s phone and y along from time to time.”


    Having said that, Leah nagan–Eaden rose and walked behind Allison, deliberately cing her hand


    on her not–yet–fully recovered back.


    Allison hissed in pain and Leah nagan–Eaden’s voice echoed in her ear, “But if you pull any stunts,


    your mother’s treatment will stop.”


    “You…” Allison gritted her teeth, swallowing her resentment, “I get it.”


    “That’s the spirit.” Leah nagan–Eaden chuckled, nodding in satisfaction as she watched Allison


    break into a cold sweat from the pain, “I didn’t think this scar woulde in handy.”


    Allison didn’t respond, but she understood Leah nagan–Eaden’s intentions.


    But even with a scar identical to Penelope’s, she would never be Penelope.


    In a lecture hall at Willowbrook College, Allison listened to her friend, Daisy, “I really don’t get how


    Penelope got on Lucian’s good side.”


    She then whispered, “Could it be ‘cause they did the deed?”


    Allison suddenly stopped writing, feeling her breath grow hot as she remembered the warmth of the


    man that night.


    She took a deep breath and stood up, “I need to use the restroom.”


    “Huh? But ss is about to start. Today’s finance lecturer is from a Fortune 100pany; you’ll lose


    points if you’rete.”


    Before Daisy could finish, she saw Allison rush to the door, bumping into a man on her way out,


    causing her to clutch her mouth in surprise


    At the door, Allison rubbed her bumped nose, hearing amotion from the ssroom.


    Before she could react, a deep male voice came from above, “Are you okay?”


    That voice…


    It was him!


    Lucian!


    Allison looked up in surprise to see a familiar and tall figure.


    Lucian looked equally surprised, with a hint of astonishment in his eyes, “Penelope?”

    Allison felt her head spinning.


    It was only when their eyes met that she realized she forgot to wear a mask!
