Chapter 396: A Shy Kiss
Ella sat down next to Eric. "What’s wrong? You seem upset," she asked softly.
Eric shot a cold glance at Luke, who sat across from him. "Nothing. You’re out now?"
"Yeah. There’s something I need to talk to you about," Ella said in a gentle tone. Eric took her hand and replied, "Let’s talk over there."
From his expression, it was clear he didn’t want Luke to overhear their conversation.
Watching the two walk away together, Luke furrowed his brow in displeasure. Standing up, he sneered coldly. "Some people just can’t handle the truth. The moment they hear it, they lose their cool. What good is a man like that?"
With an air of arrogance, Luke turned and pushed open the door to Lucas’s hospital room.

Ella and Eric walked to the corridor near the window. The VIP area was relatively quiet, making it a good spot for private conversations. Most people used the elevators, and at six stories high, few bothered with the stairs.
"Your expression is so serious. Did he try to scare you?" Eric asked, his hand gently rubbing her tense face, a playful smile softening his tone.
Ella raised her eyes to meet his. The starlight-like sparkle in his alluring almond-shaped eyes was mesmerizing, even in daylight.
His striking features, coupled with his mischievous smile, were enough to make any woman’s heart race.
