Chapter 216
Matthew ignored everyone else's remarks and focused on the task at hand. While working, his mind started to wander.
The driver should have taken Lucy to the airport by now. Matthew would have sent her off if he could, but he could not leave.
Matthew felt a tinge of regret, but he suppressed his emotions and concentrated on his work.
Meanwhile, Lucy had already boarded the plane to Charleston. Suddenly, her heart skipped a beat as if she sensed something. She anxiously tugged at the hem of Cillian's sleeve, and he turned to look at her. "What's wrong? Is something bothering you?" he asked Lucy with concern.
Lucy shook her head, but Cillian knew her well. After a moment of silence, he sighed.
"If there's something you want to say, just say it. I'm not a mind reader, so I can't guess what's on your mind. If you don't tell me, I can't help you."
After hearing his words, Lucy finally mustered the courage to tell him, "Can I call Matthew before we take off? I don't know why, but I really, really want to see him. I have a feeling that if I don't see him now, it'll be hard for me to see him again in the future."
Cillian stared at the stubborn Lucy, feeling somewhat helpless. Did she still care about Matthew so much even after she lost her memory?
He sighed, feeling a pang of bitterness in his heart. Whatever. He had long known that there was no way he could meddle in their relationship. Now, the most important thing was Lucy.
After pondering for a moment, he was initially going to refuse her request because it was too risky. However, his heart softened after looking at her pleading eyes. It was just a phone call, so it should be fine. After sighing for God knew how many times, he took out his phone and looked for Matthew's contact. He called him.
Lucy instantly brightened up after she noticed what Cillian was doing. She knew she could count on her class representative to help her with anything.
Poor Cillian was unaware that he had once again been friend-zoned in Lucy's mind, but he probably would not care about it too much. There was no hope for him anyway, so why bother about being friend- zoned?
Once the video call went through, Matthew answered it while sporting dark circles under his eyes. He looked at Cillian irritably and said in an aggressive tone, "What? I'm working. Why haven't you taken Lucy to Charleston yet?"
Cillian rolled his eyes, annoyed by the sight of him. "Lucy wants to see you, so she asked me to call you before we take off. If you don't want to see her, I'll hang up." "Hey, wait!"
Matthew hastily stopped Cillian. Of course, Cillian was just bluffing. How could he hang up the phone when it was Lucy's request?
He silently handed the phone to Lucy. Matthew looked at his wife with a face full of joy, feeling all sweet inside.
The fact that he could see his wife before she left for Charleston was wonderful. Matthew asked cautiously, "Lulu, is there a reason you wanted to call me?"
Lucy's heart ached when she saw him being so cautious. He should not be like this.
Although she had no memories of him, she got an idea out of nowhere. She suddenly blurted out, "Matt, smile."
