Arabella glanced at him. “Why are you apologizing? It’s not your fault.”

If anyone was to blame, it was Naomi and Ruby or showing up uninvited and stirring up drama.
Lucas gave a light chuckle. “Fair enough. Did you drive here? I’m leaving too–I can give you a ride if you’d like.”
“No need, thanks. I have my car,” Arabella replied.
“Alright,” Lucas said easily.
Then, the two of them walked down the stairs together.
“Where did you park?” Lucas asked casually.
“You’ll see,” Arabella said as she turned toward the parking lot.
Lucas watched her for a moment, a smile touching his lips. She really is something else.
He then made his way to his own vehicle.
When Arabella stopped beside her car, a flicker of surprise crossed Lucas‘ eyes. “Would you look at that? My car is right next to yours.”
“Oh?” Arabella finally looked at the sedan parked beside hers.
It was indeed the same car he had driven her in before.
“That’s quite a coincidence.
“I’m heading out now,” Arabella said, pulling open her car door and sliding inside.
“See you tomorrow,” Lucas said with a smile, giving her a slight wave.
Arabella started the engine and drove away from the academy under his gaze.
After she left, Lucas got out off his car and returned to his office.
Inside Macdonald Villa, Harper was lounging comfortably on the sofa with her head in Dylan’s lap, watching a movie.

Dylan was dotingly feeding her pieces of fruit.

“The fruit tastes so much better when you feed i to me,” Harper said sweetly, looking up at Dylan with an adoring gaze.
“Yeah? Here, have another piece,” Dylan replied, his eyes equally full of affection.
“Don’t just feed me–you have some too,” Harper said with a blissful smile.
“Okay.”
The two of them couldn’t have looked more relaxed and content.
Suddenly, Harper noticed the lingering bruise on Dylan’s wrist and asked with concern, “Does your hand still hurt, sweetie?”
“It’s still a little sore. Maybe if you kiss it, it’ll heal faster,” Dylan said, putting on a pitiful pout.
“Okay, I’ll kiss it for you.”
“Does that feel better?” Harper gently kissed his wrist a few times.
Dylan smiled, satisfied. “Yeah, much better. You’re the only one who really takes care of me.”
“Of course I am. I care about you the most,” Harper said with earnest sincerity.
“It’s all Arabella’s fault. Who would have thought she’d managed to cozy up to the CEO of Horizon Corp? If it weren’t for her, you wouldn’t have gotten hurt!
“And I wouldn’t have been humiliated in front of Edward and Mr. Stewart, either!” Harper said, her face flushed with indignation.
“Ugh! If Mr. Stewart hadn’t been there that day, would have slapped her silly!” Dylan said through gritted teeth.
Just thinking about the incident made his blood boil with a rage he couldn’t discharge.
He had just gone to visit Edward, and then he ran into Arabella, who ended up injuring his hand. What a vile woman!
Every time their paths crossed, he somehow ended up getting hurt for no good reason.
It was so infuriating!
“You’re absolutely right! I only held back because there were witnesses.
“Otherwise, you know me–I would have clawed her eyes out!”

The two of them went back and forth, venting their shared frustration.

Then, Dylan looked at Harper with a puzzled expression. “It’s really weird, though. How did Arabella get to know the CEO of Horizon Corp?
“She never mentioned it before…
“But that day, they seemed pretty familiar. Mr. Stewart even seemed really protective of her.”
“I remember he called her ‘Dr. Macdonald‘ at the time…” Dylan frowned, beginning to piece things together.
“Now that you mention it, you’re right. He did call her Dr. Macdonald.
“But since when is Arabella a doctor?” Harper asked, looking back at Dylan with equal confusion.
Their eyes met, both equally baffled.
Just then, Freya walked into the room.
Seeing Harper and Dylan sitting there frozen, lost in thought, she asked, “What are you two doing, just sitting there staring into space?”
Hearing her mother’s voice, Harper looked up. “Mom, did Arabella ever study medicine?”
“Arabella? Study medicine?” Freya thought she must have misheard.
“Yeah, did she?” Harper pressed.
Freya immediately scowled. “Her? She’s not fit for that at all. She couldn’t treat a person to save her life–she’s not even qualified to treat a pet!”
Disgust was evident all over Freya’s face. Just mentioning Arabella put her in a bad mood.
That scene in Edward’s hospital room still rankled.
“Why are you bringing up that little jinx?” Freya asked irritably.
“Because last time we went to see Edward, she made things so difficult for us, all because she knows Mr. Stewart from Horizon Corp.
“Dylan’s injuries still aren’t fully healed!
“And Mr. Stewart called her ‘Dr. Macdonald‘, so was wondering if you knew anything about it. But I guess you don’t,” Harper said, sounding disappointed.

When Freya heard “Horizon Corp“, her eyes widened slightly. “The Horizon Corp you mentioned… Is that the Stewart family’s corporation in the city?”
“The Stewart family?” Harper asked, blinking her wide, innocent eyes and turning the question back on her mother.
