Falling for the Goddess

All I Can Give You Is This

Sharing juicy gossip and insider news isn't as fun when you keep it to yourself.

Lucas Graves immediately started a group chat and uploaded the photo he'd secretly snapped of Adrian Blake and Sara Hart at the hospital.

Within minutes, his phone began buzzing with new messages.

Eric Thorne: "Adrian? Why were you at the hospital?"

Noah Ashford "And the girl next to him... that must be his new wife, right?"

Lucas Graves: "Ugh, you guys are no fun. How did you guess it right away?"

Anyone familiar with Adrian Blake would instantly recognize his distinctive posture and silhouette in the picture. And the petite girl beside him, wrapped in his shirt while they were at a hospital, couldn't be anyone other than his newly wedded wife.

Lucas Graves eagerly filled them in on the whole story, recounting every detail of the day's events. He even added a little dramatic flair, emphasizing Adrian Blake's reactions and their interactions.

The two others, Eric Thorne and Noah Ashford, fell silent as they looked at the voice messages piling up with red notifications. Normally, they wouldn't even bother listening to Lucas Graves's chatter, but gossip about Adrian Blake? That was worth tolerating some noise.

Lucas Graves: "I think Adrian's little wife is quite interesting. Looks like I'll need to stay in closer contact with him from now on."

Noah Ashford: "A college student? interesting, huh?"

Eric Thorne: "She even stepped in to take the hit for him. Intriguing. But I wonder if she's sincere or just putting on a show."

Satisfied with their responses, Lucas Graves grinned to himself.

"Dr. Graves, a patient needs you," a young nurse came to find him.

"Alright, I'm coming!" Lucas Graves slipped his phone back into his pocket and headed for his office.

Back at the Villa

When Adrian Blake and Sara Hart returned to the villa, Alice Miller greeted them at the door.

"Young Master, Young Madam, welcome back."

Her eyes widened as she noticed Sara Hart's disheveled state and the faint red marks peeking out from her neck.

"What happened? Are you alright?" Alice Miller asked, concerned.

"It's nothing, just a little burn," Sara Hart said, trying to downplay the situation.

But Adrian Blake interrupted, "We went to my father's house."

Alice Miller froze for a moment. The tension between Adrian Blake and his father was no secret, and every time they met, it was like walking into a battlefield.

"Did you see a doctor? How bad is it?" Alice Miller asked, her worry growing.

"It's not serious, nothing to worry about, Auntie Alice," Sara Hart replied with a faint smile, as if the pain didn't even touch her.

Adrian Blake glanced at her. She was smiling so calmly, as if everything were fine. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he might have believed her.

"Can you make something light for dinner? We haven't eaten yet," Adrian Blake said.

It was already past seven, and while he didn't have much appetite, Sara Hart needed to eat. After everything that had happened, he couldn't let her suffer more now that they were home.
