At midnight, Hari was alone at the terminal building of Los Angeles Airport.
He checked the time again. Lucas' flight should have arrived, yet Hari still hadn't caught sight of Lucas.
The news of Terry and Lucas fighting over Jessica had been widely spread.
Hari couldn't believe what he had just heard.
The way Hari saw it, Lucas was the kind of person who rarely revealed his emotions. How could Lucas get himself into a fistfight at such a grand party?
Finally, the loudspeaker sounded again.
And Lucas arrived.
"Lucas, here." Hari waved his hand, and Lucas walked over to him.
Just as Hari was about to start gossiping about what happened tonight, his gaze fell on Lucas' face. Hari froze a bit. "Did you really get into a fight with Terry?"
With that, Lucas tossed a cold glance at Hari.
The coldness in his golden eyes made Hari shiver. It had been some time since Hari last saw Lucas with that sullen look.
Yet that only made Hari even more curious about what had happened tonight. "What exactly happened?" he asked.
Lucas was in a bad mood as well as in poor physical condition. His stomach ached.
Lucas barely ate at the party. He only drank two glasses of wine there. Terry hit his belly and hurt his stomach. Lucas suffered a stomachache all the way back.
Now that Hari just wouldn't stop yakking at his ears, Lucas felt so annoyed. "Shut up."
"... Fine."
Seeing that Lucas was all grumpy, Hari shut up.
Twenty minutes later, the car stopped outside Lucas' apartment.
"Here we are."
However, Lucas did not move. Hari called out, "Lucas?"
Terry looked sideways, only to find that Lucas looked pale and his forehead was covered in sweat.
Hari was worried. "Don't scare me. Are you alright?"
Lucas gritted his teeth and forced out, "My stomach aches."
"I'll take you to the hospital."
Lucas wanted to say no, but his stomach spasmed so hard that he almost fainted.
Hari hurriedly reversed the car and stepped on the accelerator, rushing to the hospital.
Lucas was sent to the hospital soon.
After Hari talked to the doctor, he went back and saw Lucas lying in bed with his lids closed. His face read "do not disturb".
Hari then put the medicine on the side and poured a glass of water. "But you have to take the medicine, right?"
With that, Lucas finally opened his eyes and took over the water and the medicine with a deadpan face. He then swallowed the pills.
Hari snorted when he saw Lucas' pale and stern face. He was about to say something when his phone vibrated.
Hari looked down and found that it was a video clip sent by a friend. Hari took a glance and saw Lucas on the cover.
"What are you watching?"
Lucas frowned and reached out his hand to grab Hari's phone.
Lucas looked down and saw the scene where Jessica slapped him in the face.
Seeing that, Lucas' face darkened.
Lucas subconsciously wanted to smash the phone. Hari was startled and quickly snatched it back. "Go smash your own cell! This is mine!"
Lucas sneered. "Why would I do that to my own phone?"
"So you meant what you did."
Lucas did not speak, but Hari knew he got Lucas right.
Hari put down his phone and asked again, "To be honest, why did you get into a fight with Terry? And you injured him in the face. That was Jessica's birthday party. Were you trying to offend the Hall family even more?"
Hari clicked his tongue and continued, "This Mr. Davison does know how to play tricks. Why did you have to punch him in the face?
"Weren't you telling others how hard you beat him?"
Lucas was already quite annoyed and what Hari said next only made him feel worse. "You guys were fighting. Why isn't your face injured?"
And then, Hari seemed to have thought of something. "I saw that in the video, Terry punched you in the belly, so he wouldn't leave any mark. But you only punched his exposed part. Everyone could see how hard you punched him!"
Lucas' face turned even gloomier. "Shut up if you don't know how to talk!"
"Well, well. You are mad? What's the point of yelling at me? Terry's trick isn't decent, but it's smart. He beat you and at the same time, Jessica would feel bad for him. He's so cunning."
