Alpha King Chases Abandoned Luna novel Chapter 212

My heart was pounding, but I kept my expression calm and concerned. I took a step forward,

noting how much thinner Ethan looked.

“Ethan, are you feeling unwell? Why do you look so pale?” I asked, my voice soft with worry.

He didn’t answer. He just looked at me with those unfathomable amber eyes, making my anxiety spike.

“Ethan, what’s wrong? Why are you looking at me like that? Did I do something wrong?” I

asked, deliberately letting my eyes redden, looking at him pitifully, on the verge of tears.

This always worked on Ethan. I’d angered him before, but as long as I acted weak and

vulnerable, he would soften. He could never bear to stay mad at me when I cried.

But today was different. His expression remained cold and distant.

“Ethan…” I sobbed, about to deploy my ultimate weapon–full tears–when he suddenly spoke.

“I just met with Nathan.”

The name hit me like a physical blow. Nathan Blackwood. Ethan’s friend. It was normal for

them to meet, but for Ethan to mention him now, with that expression on his face…

My mind immediately went to that little girl. Lily. Even so, I clung to hope. Ethan trusted me completely; he couldn’t possibly have investigated me.

I forced myself to remain calm, responding with casual interest. “Why didn’t you ask Nathan to

come over? It’s been a while since I’ve seen him too. You should ask him to come over, and I’ll

cook-”

“Victoria, aren’t you curious about what he told me?” Ethan interrupted coldly.

I felt a chill run down my spine. The way he was looking at me–like I was a stranger. Where was the Ethan who melted at my tears? The Ethan who believed every word I said?

It was precisely because he knew my habits, knew that I stuttered and couldn’t speak a complete sentence whenever I lied, that he always believed me. Every time I vehemently denied something, he never suspected I might be lying.

“Ethan, do you know? Do you know that the kidney Emma used was Lily’s?” I asked directly.

I no longer had any illusions. Although I didn’t know why Ethan and Nathan had suddenly brought up the matter of that little girl’s kidney, I was certain that Ethan knew the truth. So I

didn’t answer his question but asked my own instead.

It was a rhetorical question, but spoken with certainty.
