Chapter 1230 - 1226: The Joke Went Too Far

"You’re not sick, you haven’t lost your memory, and you won’t die within six months, right?" Her gaze fell on him, so earnest that it was a bit intimidating.

"You found out?"

"Of course, otherwise how long were you planning to keep it from me?"

Unlike the first time she discovered he was lying and had a big argument with him, her expression was very calm, very calm.

"Little Chili, let me explain..."

He initially thought Eva Miller would say something like ’I don’t want to hear it, I don’t want to hear it’, but instead, she looked up and stared at him intently.

"Go ahead, I hope what you’re about to say is the truth."

Luke Land didn’t know if his explanation would be accepted by her, but nevertheless, he started to speak.

"I didn’t intentionally deceive you, nor was I toying with you, playing with you. I just wanted to understand my place in your heart. Later... I don’t know if I’m just being wishful, but I always felt that I wasn’t so disliked in your heart. Seeing how you took care of me, did your best to fulfill my wishes, I thought I’d never need to do anything foolish to test it again, because I know in your heart... there’s a place for me."

"But Luke Land, do you know? I don’t like you in this way at all. How can you use lies to deceive my feelings?" Compared to finding out he was deceiving her before, this time her demeanor was much calmer, but that didn’t mean it meant nothing.

"I think... I need to consider carefully whether I can forgive you." She withdrew her gaze that had been fixed on him, placed the food she brought on the table, "Take your time eating, I’m leaving. After all, you didn’t lose your memory nor are you disabled, you shouldn’t need me to take care of you, right?"

The sarcasm at her lips was clear to him with just one look, and seeing her turn to leave, he was still a bit unwilling to give up.

"Little Chili, please don’t go, okay?" His eyes held a hint of pleading, "Without you, I can’t even eat."

"Lies."

She couldn’t discern which of his words were true and which were false anymore.

She forcefully shook off his hand that was grasping her wrist and ran out in big strides. She ran and ran until she was outside the hospital building, glancing around aimlessly, not knowing where to go.

Recently, all her thoughts had been consumed by him, busy taking care of him every day, even thinking about having his child. But in the end, it was all just a carefully crafted deception. His lies were so convincing that she felt like a circus monkey, being played around by him.

Especially when thinking back on her actions during these days, it was simply laughable.

She opened the car door, sat inside, and stayed in the car for the whole day.

She, Eva Miller, was usually so clever, but Luke Land turned out to be even more cunning. The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt inside.

"Luke Land, you bastard, you just wanted to deceive my body, trick me into doing AI with you. I will never trust you again." Her eyes felt sore, and her small fists pounded on the steering wheel as if venting the distress in her heart.

Being deceived is undoubtedly a painful thing, no matter what his reasons are.

Luke Land called Eva Miller’s phone all day, only to find it was left unanswered all the time. This time, the joke indeed went too far.

She was usually such a tenacious, proud person, and to be ’toyed’ with like this would surely leave thoughts in her mind, even though his original intention was not to play games.
