The two women in the ward seemed to have heard the noise outside and quickly quietened down.
Seconds later, Frieda got up and opened the door.
Upon seeing the men, she panicked so much that she had to clench her fists tight to calm herself down.
“Lucian, have you come to visit Aubree? Her injuries are pretty bad. I blame—”
Unfortunately, before she could finish her sentence, Jonathan interrupted, “Shut up! This is for Lucian and Aubree to discuss between themselves. I want you to come here right now!”
Stunned by her brother's sudden outburst, Frieda glared at him and was about to retort when she saw Lucian's cold-eyed stare.
After feeling a chill run down her spine, Frieda promptly swallowed her words and walked out with her head hung low.
Lucian, on the other hand, said nothing and entered the ward.
With that, Frieda stood outside, dazed and frozen from Lucian's terrifying stare.
Meanwhile, Aubree wiped her scowl away and recomposed herself as soon as she heard the commotion. By the time Lucian walked in, she had plastered a look of surprise and hurt on her face. “Lucian, what brings you here?”
Even though she stiffened at the sight of Lucian's expression, she still managed to keep her smile and quickly added, “Come on. Take a seat.”
