Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

Chloe approached the hospital room door. It was slightly ajar, so she could see everything inside.

Linda looked like a scared bunny, sobbing in Lucas' arms. "Only Chloe knows about my family. We don't even have a TV at home. My mom can't read a single word and never watches the news. It must have been Chloe who told her."

"She knew my mom was a tyrant. I've been controlled and tormented by her since I was little. I nearly died at her hands.

"Now she's made a scene at the TV station, and everyone knows my mom is a lunatic. I can't face my colleagues anymore. "Tony also called, telling me to rest and not to worry about hosting tonight's show.

"I worked so hard to get that hosting gig. Why would Chloe do this?

"Her heart is so cruel..."

Lucas held her tightly, trying to soothe her. "It's okay, you still have me. Even if you don't work, I'll take care of you forever."

Chloe knocked on the door.

Both of them looked over. Lucas saw Chloe, and his anger flared instantly. "Chloe, you actually dared to show up."

Chloe remained calm. "I asked the doctor. Your child is fine."

Lucas scoffed. "You seem disappointed. Do you really want to see my child dead, you monster?"

Chloe's expression darkened. "I never intended to harm your child."

Linda looked at her with teary, innocent eyes. "Did you tell my mom about my situation?"

Chloe didn't deny it. "Yes."

Linda burst into tears. "Chloe, why would you do this? You know my mom is a devil. Why push me back to hell? Why are you doing this to me?" Chloe spoke indifferently. "We're in the same boat now."

Linda was stunned. Then, crying, she said, "I know, you must think that made those posts online. I didn't, I really didn't. I wouldn't do such a thing I swear on the baby in my belly..."

"Don't." Chloe interrupted her. "I fear the retribution meant for you would fall on your child."

Linda turned pale.

Lucas couldn't contain himself any longer. He stepped forward, raising his hand to slap Chloe.

But Chloe firmly caught Lucas' wrist, her smile bewitching yet incredibly cold. "Lucas, have you forgotten? You've never been able to beat me in a fight since we were kids."

Lucas' arm hurt from her grip. He knew that Chloe had always been fierce despite her delicate appearance. "Chloe, you're a lunatic. The biggest regret of my life was looking after you since we were kids, loving you, and spoiling you rotten."

Chloe's smile deepened. "Did you ever love me?"

"If you really loved me, you wouldn't have been swayed by Linda's few words to stand against me.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

"If you really loved me, you wouldn't have stabbed me in the back when I was most desperate.

"We end up like thua, and you have never doubted Linda all this time?"

Chloe was heartbroken.

They were childhood friends and

had played together since they were bare-bottomed toddlers. Even if there wasn't love between them, there were more than twenty years of friendship.

They used to be friends who could talk about anything and each other's first love fluttering in their youth, but now they harbored mutual hatred.
