Love Contract novel Chapter 373

"Well, what are you still doing? You've already recognized me, you fool!" Lucas struggled desperately to break free from her clutches.

"Number 53, your medicine is ready."

The doctor's voice echoed from the small speaker beside the window. Jazlyn quickly grabbed the medicine and ran away. 'Wasn't he the guy I met that night? I should escape right away!'

The pressure on his throat was finally removed. Lucas heaved a deep breath and noticed that she was escaping. He quickly got up, regardless of the crowd in the hall, elbowed his way through the crowd and ran out while yelling, "Jazlyn! Stop! You fucking stop! I said stop! II

Jazlyn quickened her pace even more when she heard the sound of Lucas's footsteps getting nearer. Was this man some sort of sticky candy? She had already given him money. What else did he want? Alas!

She rushed to the car parked on the roadside. She clasped the roof of the car with both hands and jumped inside, quickly getting into the driver's seat.

"What happened?" Aisha was sitting in the passenger seat with a pale face.

"Nothing." Jazlyn was a little short of breath. She threw the medicine to Aisha, started the car, and drove into the main road, quickly disappearing along with the passing cars.

"Jazlyn Xu!" As soon as Lucas got out of the hospital, he didn't even get the chance to see the back of the car. He was so enraged that he kicked the fire hydrant on the pavement. "Damn it! I almost had her!" Before he finished talking, he felt a sharp pain coming from his toes. He took a deep breath, crouched, and groaned as he held his foot. "Jesus Christ, that hurts!"

The following day, Lucas didn't dare to touch his back. He fell too hard when Jazlyn managed to knock him down. What the hell was she even doing? How could she act more violent than a man?

While he was lost in thought, someone rushed into his office.

"Lucas!" William entered the room and said, "Something really odd happened!"

"Well, what was it?" Lucas asked in a hurry. "Did something happen to you and Mary?"

"I... I think I saw an illusion..." William leaned on the table, using his hands as a support. His eyes began to widen. "No, it wasn't an illusion. It was real! I saw Mary!"

"William... Are you joking right now?" Lucas's face darkened.

"No! You don't get it!" William's face turned even more serious. "What happened was... Once, I saw Mary in a mall. I was certain that I saw her, but later on, she told me that she never went to the mall that day! And just now, what happened was even more horrible. I saw her inside a cafe, but she called me, and told me that she was stuck in the office because she couldn't leave. What the hell is happening to me? Isn't it creepy? Did I really mistake someone for Mary? I even held her hand. It just seems so impossible..."

Lucas nodded knowingly. "I see."

"Tell me, Lucas, am I going crazy?" William urged.

"That's how it sounds," said Lucas, turning to look at William. "Oh, it was just your imagination! It was just in your head! Made up! Do you understand? Not real!" "You... Do you really think I'd be that bored? Why would I have to imagine Mary when I could go see her any day?" William glared at him. "I saw someone, but it wasn't her!

"Then, I suppose she isn't bored enough to play with you? Trust me, you're going crazy," Lucas said with a shrug. As soon as he moved, he groaned in pain once more.

"Maybe you're right." William sighed and frowned.

As he was rubbing his back, Lucas suddenly remembered something. "By the way, I asked you to get information about Jazlyn Xu. How is it going?"
