Chapter 1343: Chapter 1340: She Still Wants to See Him (Extra 5)

Aidan Lucas didn’t know how long Lily could deceive herself.

Just like he didn’t know how long he could deceive himself.

On the seventh day, when Lily finally walked out of the bedroom on her own and knocked on his study room door.

He knew… perhaps it was time for his self-deception to end.

“Are you free? I… have something to ask you.” Lily appeared outside the study room door, and after some time to recover, the injury on her leg had almost completely healed.

However, the physical wounds had healed, but her heart had been so deeply wounded that it could no longer be mended.

Even though Aidan Lucas personally supervised her eating every day, she visibly grew thinner at a noticeable rate.

The man was anxious.

Even though the doctor said that it was indeed normal for a pregnant woman to lose weight during the early stages of pregnancy due to a lack of appetite,

He was still anxious.

“I’m free, come in and talk.”

Aidan Lucas nodded, his expression somber, not letting Lily see the flash of pain that crossed his cold-seeming eyes.

He stepped to the side, letting her enter.

Lily walked into the study room with her head lowered, naturally missing the emotions in his eyes.

Both seated, the pair who once were so intimate, now sat opposite each other in silence.

It was still Aidan Lucas who broke the silence first, “Just say what you want to say, I have other things to attend to.”

As soon as he spoke, he regretted it.

Clearly, he didn’t mean it that way.

“Sorry, I won’t take up too much of your time.” With her head bowed, Lily looked at her delicate fingers and didn’t notice the frustration in Aidan Lucas’ eyes.

She twisted her hands nervously, “The reason I came is to ask you about the first personality… I know you don’t like me bringing him up. But…”

Lily’s beautiful brows were already knitted tightly, and even breathing became difficult.

“He doesn’t want me anymore.”

She finally uttered these words, God knows how hard it was for her to say them out loud.

“That Aidan Lucas must have slept too long, probably forgetting all about our love,” Lily said with a bitter smile, her tone filled with self-mockery.

“It’s true, four years have passed, enough time to change many things. Besides, it was me who left him first.”

Watching the woman before him speak in such a weak voice, pretending as if nothing mattered, Aidan Lucas suddenly felt the urge to tell her the truth.

This Lily, who lacked the vitality of her former self, seemed to be moving further and further away from the Lily he remembered.

Aidan Lucas took a sharp breath, almost unable to restrain himself.

But then he saw Lily suddenly lift her gaze, revealing a sweet smile he hadn’t seen in a long time.

“Ethan Wilson, may I ask you for a favor? I… I want to see him again.”

Her smile was dazzling.

Even though her petite face was visibly thinner than before, it only made her beautiful peach blossom eyes seem more radiant.

“All right.” This time, Aidan Lucas agreed without a second thought.

He didn’t even ask what she would do after meeting that person.

“Thank you, Ethan Wilson.” Lily looked at him, those peach blossom eyes that had always haunted his dreams seemed finally able to reflect his image.

The second personality smirked self-deprecatingly.

Never would he have thought that one day he’d need to use another part of himself just to get Lily to look at him straight.

“I’ll go back then so I won’t disturb you. Just call me whenever you’re done and free,” Lily said, getting ready to stand up, but Aidan Lucas stopped her.

“No need, let’s do it now.”

Seeing the confusion in Lily’s eyes, he explained, “Before I change my mind.”

“…”

Lily lowered her head, lost in thought.

Aidan Lucas watched her bowed head, his gaze deep and inscrutable.

He looked at her intently once more, as if trying to etch her image deep in his memory.

Moments later, Aidan Lucas took out the same dark pill as last time and swallowed it in front of Lily.

“Remember, you have forty minutes this time.” He said before losing consciousness.
