Chapter 219

It was not until they were inside the lounge that Lucas finally put Serenity down on the sofa. He looked at her left hand, which she was covering with her right hand, and asked her, “Does it hurt?”

“Just a little,” she mumbled.

He could see from her pained expression that she was making it sound less serious than it actually was. The usual calmness and tranquility she had on her delicate face were now gone, replaced by a tight knit in the brows and sickly pallor. Even her voice sounded like it was taking her a lot of effort just to speak.

The sight of her suffering like that tightened his chest, but it was such a foreign feeling for him. So was how he had felt when he had seen her kneeling and kowtowing. When he saw that copper heater fall on her hand-it was such a raw pain that he thought he had gotten a thorough thrashing!

And then, he almost reflexively rushed to her side to help her up.

Lucas asked himself, why had he done that? He had already confirmed that Serenity was not the woman he was looking for when he went to the small town, so why was he still so inexplicably drawn to her?

Was it because of the way she looked? She did indeed look just like the girl in his memories, so perhaps that was why even though his logical brain knew that she was not the one, his emotions were still heavily influenced by her?

Soon afterward, the doctor on set arrived and went straight to giving Serenity a preliminary examination. He had to use a firmer touch on her injured hand in order to determine whether or not her bones were affected, but this only made the pain even more excruciating for her.

She bit her lips hard, and beads of sweat broke out on her forehead. She could only respond to the doctor’s questions with a nod or shake of her head.

When the doctor was finally done, Serenity felt like she might collapse any minute now. Her forehead and her back were soaked in sweat.

“The bones are fine,” said the doctor. “You just need to apply some medicine on the bruises, that’s all. For now, make sure you take good care of this hand and try not to use it to carry any heavy objects. If you’re still worried, you may get it examined more thoroughly at the hospital.”

The doctor was just an on-site doctor on the film set, after all, so he could only treat some minor injuries and apply some bandages here. There would be nothing he could do if the injury had been more serious since he did not have any adequate medical equipment here.

“Okay,” replied Serenity. “Thank you, doctor.”

She was finally relieved. Had the injury affected her bones, she was not even sure if she could still keep doing her job at the Sanitation Office. With a job like hers, they simply could not afford to take much time off from work, and the Sanitation Office would never agree to grant her a long medical leave to

recuperate.

Once the doctor left, Lucas told her, “It might look like you’re fine, but I think you’d better get it examined properly at the hospital.

“It’s fine,” she refused. “I just go get some medicine for the bruises from the pharmacy. By the way… Thanks for helping me just now.”

No matter what, it was Lucas who had helped her up and even gotten the doctor on set to examine her hand.

He raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, “What exactly was going on just now? Why were you kneeling

and kowtowing?”

In fact, she was repeating the movements many times over! That was the first thing he had seen when he had first arrived, though he had only seen her back, so he had not recognized her at first.

Lucas had decided to come to the set on an impulse today without any particular reason other than to visit Aria at work. He never expected to walk in just as the copper heater fell on Serenity’s hand. It was only when she sat straight up and raised her head to look at Aria that he finally recognized her!

“It’s nothing,” Serenity replied calmly. “Apparently I knelt and kowtowed very well, so they wanted me to demonstrate it in front of the others.”

Lucas narrowed his eyes and focused on her forehead. Because it had been covered in a thin layer of sweat, he had not noticed anything before, but now that she had dabbed it with a tissue, he finally realized that there was a red round bruise right in the middle of her forehead.
