In front of Kiara, she was no match.
"Well, it's getting late. I have to go to the airport. Go home, Girl."
She said, trying to step forward and give Vivianne a comforting hug, but Vivianne burst into anger and pushed her hard. "Get lost! Don't touch me!"
"Ah!" Kiara screamed in surprise.
At the same time, Vivianne was thrown to the ground by another even greater force.
"How are you? Are you okay? Did she hurt you?" Lucas' nervous voice came.
Vivianne looked up in shock, only to see the staggering Kiara being held tightly in the arms of the man who rushed over, with a worried expression on his face.
"It's okay, she wasn't intentional."
"What do you mean it wasn't intentional!"
Lucas' face darkened instantly. He pulled Kiara behind him, turned around, pointed at Vivianne's nose and started yelling.
"I think you are becoming more and more willful! It's snowing hard and she's wearing high heels. What if she slips and rolls down the slope? When will you be more sensible?"
"You're always like this, getting angry at the slightest provocation and running away from home at the slightest provocation! I think you've watched too many low-rate TV dramas and your mind is full of those ridiculous things! Get the hell out of here and go home!"
After saying that, without even glancing at Vivianne who was lying on the ground, he picked up Kiara and walked towards the car.
From beginning to end, there was not even a single explanation for that kiss.
Vivianne laid on the ground, watching the two figures snuggling together go away in despair and the cold wind carried their words to her ears.
"Are you just going to leave her like this? After all, you've watched her grow up, aren't you afraid that she'll run away?"
"This is her home, where can she run to?"
Lucas was right.
Vivianne indeed had nowhere to go.
She was six years younger than Lucas. She always followed him like a tail when she was a child. Then, after her adoptive parents passed away when she was seventeen, he took her to the Cannavale Family and took care of her despite all objections.
At that time, Lucas' parents wanted to adopt Vivianne as their daughter, but Lucas was unwilling to do so. It was not until the day of his high school graduation that he confessed his feelings to her. Then everyone realized that he had fallen in love with her.
Everything that followed came naturally.
During the five years of their love, Lucas treated her gently, affectionately and carefully, as if she were a fragile flower vase, which could break and shatter at any moment.
After Vivianne graduated from university, he opened a bookstore for her to pass the time because he was worried that she would be bullied if she worked in a company. Four months ago, he even proposed to her on an island.
Unexpectedly, just overnight, all the sweetness turned into a knife piercing into Vivianne's heart.
Lucas' car drove away.
Kiara resigned and left California, so he went to see her off in person.
Vivianne knelt in the snow, watching the distant car lights, crying uncontrollably.
As soon as she woke up, she was already in the hospital.
Stellan was sitting in front of her bed, his face full of worry.
"You finally woke up. You almost scared me to death."
"Why am I here?"
"That's what I want to ask you, why did you go out to sleep in the snow instead of staying at home in the middle of the night? If someone passing by hadn't discovered you and called the police in time ...." He sighed, then continued, "the doctor said that if you brought here a minute late, you wouldn't be saved."
Vivianne was taken aback.
She guessed she was too sad last night that she passed out from the cold.
"What? You've been lying down for three days before." Stellan sighed helplessly. When he saw the girl's blank look, he hesitated and said, "Vivianne, there's something I don't know if I should tell you."
"Just tell me."
She even accepted Lucas' cheating, so what else was there that she could not accept?
