Tess pondered for a while before saying, “I used to study abroad with this guy. His family lives in Kenville, just like me. We didn’t contact each other often, but because we were from the same place, we exchanged contact numbers when we graduated.”
“How did he know me?” asked Lucas again.
I often post photos of us online. Tess explained. She seemed to be in a rage after explaining to Lucas “Lucas, I’m not even angry that you didn’t inform me immediately after you had an accident. Now, you’re questioning me about all this? Why: didn’t you inform me? Would you have kept it from me if it weren’t for my friend?”
“I just explained that I don’t want you to worry in the middle of the night, Besides, I can’t hide this from you. My leg will take half a year to recover. It’s impossible for me to hide from you for half a year.”
“You want to hide this from me for hi
half a year?!” Tess’s face flushel red.
Lucas said softly, “No. It’s nothing serious, so I don’t want you to wake up in the middle of the night and worry about me
Tess said seriously. I forgive you this time, but I don’t want this to happen again. Next time, no matter what, you have to tell me immediately
“Okay
When did the doctor say you can be discharged?” Tess kept pestering Lucas.
She did not seem to notice that there was someone else in the ward.
Kylie did not disturb the conversation between the young couple
Until…
Kylie’s phone suddenly rang, interrupting Tess.
Tess turned around, attracted by the sound.
When she saw Kylie, a trace of surprise flashed across her eyes.
It seemed like… there was only surprise.
Kylie quickly picked up the call. She looked nervous. “How’s Grandpa?”
Adam comforted her. “Don’t worry. Although his condition hast improved, it hasn’t worsened either The doctor said there’s still hope
“That’s good” Kylie was dightly relieved
Slar was afraid it might be bad news
Adam asked, “Where have you been? Aren’t you at the hotel
“You went to the hotel?
Adam said. “I wanted to visit you and Jos. but the receptionist so you didn’t check in
“Its a long story Til tell you when we meet later You love been king after Grandpa bor the core tight yesterday. You should rear fut
“Alright” Adam and nuting more after that

From his tone, Kylie could tell that he was tired.
“I’ll call you later.”
“Okay.”
After hanging up, Kylie looked at Tess.
Tess had been staring at her.
Kylie did not know how to explain the ill fa
fate” between her and Lucas

Tess would also not believe that this was an ill-fated relationship
The misunderstanding would only deepen.
Kylie decided to let the couple settle the matter among themselves.
It was useless for her to say anything more.
Kylie said to Lucas, “I’m leaving now. I’ll take responsibility for the hospitalization fees.”
Lucas nodded slightly.
Kylie got up and prepared to go to the washroom to change her clothes.
“Kylie, why are you here?” Tess finally could not help but ask, “Did you accompany Lucas for the entire night last night?”
“Since your friend knows Lucas got into an accident, he should have told you how it happened, right?”
“He didn’t say. He only said that my boyfriend was hit by a motorcycle and was sent to the hospital,” said Tess bluntly.
Kylie could hear the anger in Tess’s voice.
It was understandable.
Any woman would be angry facing such a situation.
Kylie glanced at Lucas.
Lucas said, “Last night, I went to the hotel and bumped into Kylie Coincidentally, a motorcycle that had lost control crashed into the hotel entrance. I helped Kylie and Jos block it and got injured. Kylie sent me to the hospital as a form of gratitude.”
Tess questioned, “Why is she here to accompany you, then? She could have just sent you here. Why does she have to accompany you for the entire night?”
“I was the one who wanted to stay. It has nothing to do with my mommy,” interrupted Joseph
Tess looked at hun.
“I felt that Lucas would be lonely alone in the hospital. Hence, Insisted on staying. My mommy was worried that I would be alone in the hospital, so she stayed with me, explained Joseph
Kylie chimed in. “It’s just like what Jos told you. Now that you’re here, Jos and I are leaving.”
Tess bit her lip. Her expression was not very friendly.
Kylie did not explain further.
It would be better for Lucas to take over from here

Chapter 389
Outsiders would only deepen their conflict.
Kylie changed her clothes and left with Joseph.
Joseph was a little reluctant. He looked back at Lucas.
Looking at the scene of Lucas and Tess together…
Joseph felt Lucas would regret it one day.
They walked out of the ward.
Soon, they were in the corridor.
“Kylie Stafford.”
Tess called out.
Previously, she called Kylie by her first name, yet now with her full name.
Kylie stopped.
Joseph also looked at Tess warily.
“Previously, you promised me that you would keep a distance from Lucas. But last night, you two slept under the same roof. Even I’ve never slept with Lucas before….
Kylie was speechless.
“Lucas and I did nothing.” Kylie interrupted Tess’s accusation. “I’ve just explained what happened last night to you. If you want more explanation, look for Lucas instead of me.”
“I just saw the Lucas suit on the bed you were sleeping in”
Kylie felt she could not explain herself when Tess mentioned that
“Kylie, you have a crush on Lucas, right?” Tess stopped pretending. Her tone was firm and a little aggressive.
It was different from her usual weak and innocent appearance.
“I don’t have a crush on him.”
“Don’t lie to me. Who wouldn’t like Lucas? He’s so outstanding.”
“You’re the only one who thinks he’s good.”
“There are many women who like him. I’ve met many. You’re just one of them.” Tess did not listen to Kylie’s explanation.
Til repeat myself. I don’t like him. I only accompanied him last night because he was injured because of me…”
“You did it on purpose, didn’t you?” Tess sneered. A ploy to get close to Lucas on purpose? Kylie, I’ve seen many women like you. I’ve seen all kinds of women trying to seduce Lucas in various ways. I have to admit that you’re indeed the most successful one. At least Lucas has paid attention to you.”
If not for the fact that they were relatives, Kylie did not want to waste her time explaining to Tess.
She even felt that Tess was obsessed with Lucas
Kylie controlled her temper and said, “An accident occurred last night, and Lucas saved me because we were staying in the same hotel. When I found out we would stay there, I left with Joseph to keep a distance. As soon as I left and walked out of the hotel, the motorcycle lost control and hit me. That was why Lucas saved us.”
