Chapter 7
Lucas refused to believe that Lila was dead.
He stubbornly kept searching through the jungle. He brought in professional rescue teams and hired the most skilled tracking dogs with a hefty reward. After searching the forest for half a month, there was still no trace of Lila.
Lucas’s heart grew colder bit by bit. He returned home like a walking corpse, completely defeated.
Voices came from inside the house.
“Wasn’t it agreed? I destroyed Lila and drove a wedge between her and Lucas. As long as Lila died, Lucas would be finished. Once you control his people, you’d give me 30 million dollars!
“Now you’re backing out? What’s that supposed to mean? I took those harmful aphrodisiacs and even got pregnant with that idiot Lucas’s baby just to complete the mission!
“I sacrificed so much, and you’re only giving me 5 million dollars?”
“Bang-!” The basement door was kicked open violently.
Sofia jumped in shock, hastily hung up the phone, and shoved her cell phone into her clothes. She turned around and met Lucas’s furious gaze.
Sofia was so frightened she fell to the ground, her face deathly pale.
“So this was all your scheme!” Lucas viciously kicked her abdomen.
Sofia clutched her stomach and collapsed, blood pooling beneath her.

Lucas turned and left.
Looking at the empty villa, there was no longer any trace of Lila.
He suddenly felt unprecedented despair.

A month later, one morning, Logan burst into the hospital room and hugged me tightly. “We found a heart!”
J was stunned for a moment, then slowly hugged him back.
For the past month, he had been flying all over the world, contacting cardiac authorities from various countries to find a matching heart for me.
Finally, there was a suitable heart.
He held me so tight my chest started to feel crushed. “I can’t breathe…”
Logan panicked and let go of me, his face instantly turning pale. “I’m sorry, are you okay? Did I hurt you? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”
I gasped for breath and waved my hand at him. “I’m fine.”
I turned to look at the heavy dark circles under his eyes, and fine stubble had sprouted on his jaw.
I reached out and gently touched his cheek. It felt a bit prickly.
I couldn’t help but laugh. “This is the first time I’ve seen you with a beard.”
Logan’s ears turned slightly red, and he covered his face with his hand. “Does it look bad?”

I shook my head. “It’s very cute.”
The redness from his ears spread to his neck, and his eyes stared at me intently, shining with light.
After confirming the surgery schedule, he accompanied me overseas with a medical team for the heart transplant surgery.
After the surgery, when I woke up in the intensive care unit, Logan’s eyes turned red the moment he saw me open my eyes.
After receiving this healthy heart, I felt completely renewed, and my body felt much lighter too.
As soon as we returned to Canada, I was eager to go to the gym for some exercise.
Logan absolutely refused, insisting I rest properly at home.
I was bored out of my mind and pestered him for a long time before he agreed I could go out for walks in the neighborhood.
But Logan still wouldn’t leave my side for even a second, always keeping
an eye on me.
That day, we were walking back from a nearby park. From far away, I could see a familiar figure at the door.
As if sensing something, Lucas turned around at that moment. “Lila, I finally found you!”
Lucas rushed to me with joy all over his face, wanting to grab my hand.
But when he saw my fingers intertwined with Logan’s, his whole body stiffened.
He looked up, glaring angrily at Logan, raising his fist to punch him in

I gently reached out and blocked his movement.
The expression on Lucas’s face froze, and he turned to look at me with some confusion.

“Lila, you’re actually protecting him? What’s the relationship between you two?”
The three of us grew up together as childhood friends, but Logan had a mischievous personality. When we were little, he always loved to tease me. I found him annoying and didn’t like to pay attention to him, only staying close to Lucas.
Lucas had a gentle personality and was considerate toward me. My whole heart was devoted to him.
Who could have imagined that later, he would be the one to hurt me the deepest.
Lucas slowly lowered his fist until it hung at his side.
He looked at me with pleading eyes. “Lila, can we talk?”
