It's Love That Blinds Him
It’s Love That Blinds Him – Chapter 100

Lucie was exhausted. Although she woke up at the usual time due to her body clock, she continued to lie in bed and quickly fell asleep again. So when Catherine came knocking on Lucia’s bedroom door to call her for breakfast, there was no answer. Kathryn gently pushed the door open and saw that Lucia was still sleeping soundly. Without making a sound, she closed the door and went back downstairs. After putting the breakfast she had prepared in the microwave, she left for school.

All morning, Lucia fell asleep. She wanted to wake up, but her eyelids seemed too heavy to open. It felt like there was a mountain weighing down on his body, making it difficult for him to breathe. “Oh my God, is this sleep paralysis? » This stray thought entered Lucia’s mind.

Suddenly, her phone rang, waking her from her nightmare. Wincing at the sound, Lucia sleepily reached over to the nightstand and grabbed her phone. Then she answered without even checking the caller ID. But as she was about to say hello, she realized that there was only silence on the other end of the line. Frowning in confusion, Lucia squinted at her phone screen. Only then did she realize that her phone’s battery was dead.

Groaning, she got up, took out her charger and plugged it into her phone. A few minutes later, when she managed to restart her phone, she found that her missed call log had disappeared. A m**n escaped his lips. “Since when has my phone had a problem like this? » The day before yesterday, she hadn’t taken her phone with her. And yesterday, as soon as she got home, she went straight to sleep without checking her phone. She had heard it ring this morning, but it had gone off before she could check who was calling.

The worst part was that she didn’t even know who had tried to contact her in the last two days. Taking a deep breath, she put her phone aside and decided to ignore him. After all, if anyone had something urgent to talk to him about, he would definitely contact her again. And if there was nothing urgent, then it didn’t matter that she missed the call in the first place. After lying in bed a little longer, Lucia decided to get up. Otherwise, she was afraid of spending the whole day sleeping. She had heard that the more you sleep, the more you sleep,

Just as she picked up some new pajamas and turned towards the bathroom, her phone rang again. She picked it up with a pout, but when she saw the name on the caller ID, she shook her head and smiled.

“Lowell, were you the one who called me earlier? Sorry, I didn’t bring my phone with me the day before yesterday and I didn’t charge it yesterday, so the battery is dead,” Lucia explained. “

Did you sleep all day yesterday? Didn’t you Didn’t get up once? Did you miss taking the pills?” There was dissatisfaction in Lowell’s tone as he fired a series of questions at her. “I think I took them

. I remember that Catherine came to see me. She also knocked on my door this morning, but when she saw that I was still sleeping, she went to school,” Lucia replied. Since returning home yesterday morning, she had been

sleepy. She vaguely remembered for eating and taking medicine at Catherine’s insistence. Other than going to the bathroom every now and then, Lucia had never left the bed. “Are

you up now? I’ll take you to lunch.” There was a trace of displeasure in Lowell’s voice.

“I think Kathryn made breakfast for me. If I don’t eat it, it will go to waste. Besides, I don’t want to disappoint her. So I think it’s better if I just eat at home ” said Lucia. She really didn’t want to disappoint Catherine.

“Okay, then go ahead. I’ll pick you up in an hour. I want to take you somewhere,” Lowell said.

“Where are we going?” Lucia’s eyes lit up with curiosity.

“It’s a secret. You’ll know when we get there,” Lowell replied with a smile.

“Humph, you still have an air of mystery. Well, I’ll see you in an hour,” Lucia said angrily.

“Okay. Don’t forget to take your pills,” Lowell reminded him.

“Of course. Goodbye.” Lucie hung up.

Lowering the phone from her ear, she smiled shyly. She loved the way Lowell always expressed his love for her so directly. It filled her with warmth. His behavior was far beyond her expectations When she first met Lowell, she never expected him to be the kind of man who would always be tender and caring.

In this way, Lowell was almost the complete opposite of Malcolm. They weren’t alike at all, either in personality or tone. But for some reason, Lucia found herself subconsciously making a connection between them from time to time. Sometimes she couldn’t even tell them apart in her head.

She let out a heavy sigh. Maybe she was looking for Malcolm in Lowell, but she was also looking for Lowell in Malcolm, right? This confusion was plaguing her head, making her feel unusually anxious and uneasy. These days, she was on alert all the time.

Shaking her head, Lucia decided to put those annoying thoughts aside. After taking a shower, she got dressed and put on a thick coat before going downstairs for breakfast. This time, she carefully checked her bag to make sure she wasn’t missing anything, including her phone. After that, she locked the door and walked towards where Lowell usually waited for her.

As soon as she spotted her car and got in, she was greeted with a hot drink as usual. Lucia took off her scarf, grabbed the hot drink and took a sip. Then she turned her head to look at Lowell, who looked at her gently before returning his attention to the road. He knew what Lucia wanted to ask, but he just smiled mysteriously, ignoring her curiosity.

“Where is this place? Does it really have to be a secret?” Lucia mumbled, but didn’t press Lowell for more information.

The car gradually left the city center and headed towards the suburbs. When the familiar road and view came into Lucia’s view, she turned to Lowell in shock. Lowell just smiled lovingly at him as he continued through the door. As soon as the car stopped, Lucia got out excitedly.

They were at the Sacré-Cœur orphanage, the place where she had grown up. She had lived here for thirteen years, and it was her first real home. Until she went to college, it was the place where all her memories came from. She still remembered Joshua, the director of the orphanage, the kind cook, the group of enthusiastic neighbors who came to help her from time to time, and her adorable childhood friends. Unfortunately, she hadn’t kept in touch with them, so she had no idea where they were or what they were doing now. However, she would never forget the memories she made here.

After leaving the orphanage, she immersed herself in her studies and worked hard to establish a foothold in S City, a place both familiar and strange. She couldn’t even remember the last time she came to visit the orphanage. She would just call Joshua from time to time to check on his health. The last time she had seen him was at his wedding, where she could only greet him hurriedly.

Staring at the building in front of her, Lucia felt a pang of regret. She had thought about visiting this place so many times, but she never did. She had been so busy with her work that coming here had become an extravagant hope. Little by little, she got used to missing him from afar. But now that she was actually here, an overwhelming mix of emotions welled up inside her. Lucia smiled gratefully at Lowell before throwing her arms around his neck to hug him.

As Lowell hugged her, there was a look of satisfaction in his eyes. From the time he met Lucia until now, his fundamental understanding of her had evolved, and his attachment to her seemed to continue to deepen. But he didn’t know if that was a good thing or not.

“The principal is here,” Lowell said softly, patting Lucia on the back.

Coming to her senses, Lucia quickly let go of Lowell and excitedly walked over to Joshua to give him a big hug. It had been a long time since she had looked at him properly. Joshua’s hair had turned gray, making him look much older than before.

“Joshua…” Lucia acted like a spoiled child as she hugged him.

At this moment, she was not the hard-working capable woman in the media field, nor the gentle and gentle woman in a man’s arms. She was just a child, an ordinary child from the orphanage. She was hugging the first family member she could remember.

“Lucia, I’m so happy to see you,” Joshua said, but his heart was torn with mixed feelings.

His eyes flashed with doubt as he looked at Lowell, but soon, he dispelled it. He didn’t want to interfere in Lucia’s private life. He just wanted her to be happy. It didn’t matter who brought him this happiness.

“Joshua, this is Lowell.” Lucia said, pointing to Lowell with a smile.

Joshua waved to Lowell to welcome him. Holding Joshua’s hand, Lucia happily entered the orphanage. She saw that the place hadn’t changed much. She could still see the familiar slide, the sandy area, and toys that weren’t new, but not shabby either. Of course, there was also a group of unknown children with smiles on their faces.

“Joshua, I’m sorry. I didn’t bring anything with me,” Lucia said awkwardly as soon as she saw the children.

“It’s okay. The person who came with you brought us some gifts.” Joshua smiled brightly, relieving Lucia’s embarrassment.

When Lucia turned around, she saw Lowell taking out the gifts from the trunk of the car one after another. There were new books, toys, stationery, etc. The children excitedly rushed over and helped Lowell carry these things into the house. A sincere smile stretched across Lucia’s lips.

Lowell was so thoughtful that he arranged everything for her before she even asked him. It was like he could always guess what she needed. This is how he gently opened her heart, moving her beyond words.

“Thank you,” Lucia said softly. In fact, no words could express the amount of gratitude she felt right now.

“You little fool, you don’t have to be so polite to me,” Lowell said, rubbing Lucia’s hair affectionately.

Watching the children excitedly look at the gifts, Lucia felt a strong sense of satisfaction. She stood there with a contented look when she suddenly felt warmth envelop her hand. She looked down and saw Lowell’s hand intertwined with hers. After struggling for a while, she let him hold her hand as they walked into the room together.

Joshua, who was standing behind them, looked at their intertwined hands, then looked at Lucia’s face. He couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, but he hid his worry well. He asked them to sit down.

Sitting in the hall, they discussed the situation of the orphanage and the children these days. Joshua also told Lowell some interesting stories of Lucia when she was a child. In this lonely suburban orphanage, the hustle and bustle of the city has disappeared, leaving behind only the most sincere emotions. When the lights were turned on, Lucia looked out the window and was surprised to find that the sky had already darkened.

“Joshua,

“Stupid girl, this is your house.” You don’t need to be so formal. Just stay and have dinner with us,” Joshua said in a warm tone.

“No, I don’t want to disturb. I will visit more often in the future,” Lucia said, politely declining his invitation.

She knew the orphanage was short of resources. Every penny was spent on one necessity or another. Lucia had brought nothing to the orphanage , so she didn’t feel good about having a free meal there.

“As long as you have us in your heart, that’s enough. You don’t need to come all the way here,” Joshua replied. He understood how hard she had worked over the past few years.

“Joshua, we’re leaving now. Take care of yourself,” Lucia said worriedly.

“I will. Drive carefully.” Joshua gave him a reassuring smile.

At this moment, Lowell suddenly took out a check from his pocket and gave it to Joshua. “Joshua, this is an expression of my goodwill. I hope this can help the children at the orphanage.”

Looking at the number on the check, Lucia’s eyes widened in astonishment. She knew it was not a small sum. She turned around A questioning look towards Lowell, who only had a faint smile on his face. Lowell took Lucia’s hand and quickly left, leaving Joshua in a daze.

When he came to his senses, Joshua went out and looked at the car walk away. He could tell that Lowell truly loved Lucia, and that he wasn’t like Malcolm, who always seemed to be hiding something from her. However, Joshua couldn’t see the same kind of affection in Lucia’s eyes . But last time at the wedding, her obsession with Malcolm had been obvious.

Perhaps it was because of this that she had married Malcolm without a care in the world, like a moth flying into fire .

Letting out a sigh, Joshua turned around and walked back to the orphanage.
