Chapter 68. Desire

“Is Lucas inside?”

Vlora nodded in response to the man who suddenly appeared in front of her. He seemed hurried, with a racing breath. Not as relaxed as usual.

“Okay. Thank you.”

It was none other than Andreas. He looked relieved with the nod Vlora gave him. Some of his worries eased, but he had to meet Lucas immediately.

Andreas started to walk away, but something made him stop in his tracks. He turned around with one hand raised in the air. Then he spoke.

“Oh, before I forget. After I'm done with Lucas, you have something to discuss with me.”

Vlora's eyes widened. Unfortunately, she could not express her objections as Andreas had already walked away.

Andreas opened the door. He entered and was met with Lucas's listless gaze. Lucas looked miserable, but he reassured himself. At least it was a sign that Lucas was still alive.

“How are you?” Andreas asked without beating around the bush. He pulled a chair in front of Lucas and sat down.
