The doctor said the wound was only centimeters away from the artery, and she could have died. He feared for his
daughter’s life back then. Lola was all he had, so if she died on her job, his only hope would be gone too.
Logan turned around and looked at her. Lola was done with her dinner and was just sitting with them for the time
being. “I didn’t know she risked her life for her job.”
Lola gave him a look that said, ‘Of course you don’t, dumba**.’
Langdon then talked about Lola’s relationship problem. He said Lola spent all her time working, so when the time
came for her to find a partner, she was well past her marrying age. He did try to get a partner for her, but all the

officer, nobody wanted her because of her age. Langdon sighed. “Lola’s really unlucky when it comes to
relationships.”
Logan leaned back against the chair, and he looked at Lola. Perhaps influenced by the alcohol, his eyes appeared
particularly gentle. “I don’t think so. Maybe it just comes late.”
Langdon didn’t notice the underlying confession, but Fiona did.
Lola blushed, and she coughed. “What’s taking you guys so long? I’m going to sleep if you guys aren’t finishing
soon.”
Langdon waved her down. “You go ahead. I want to chat with Logan for a bit more.”
Hearing this, Lola got to her feet and went to her room. All the houses in villages were typically bigger, and they
had one spare room, so Lola went to that room and tidied the bed for Logan. After turning around when she was
done, Fiona was standing right outside the door. “You scared me, Mom.
You were so quiet.” Fiona lowered her voice to a whisper. “You better tell me the truth. Who is Logan, really? Does
he like you?” Lola fiddled with her hair nervously. “He didn’t confess, so I don’t think so. Can you guys not make
things up? What if he doesn’t like me?” Fiona rolled her eyes in disappointment. “You silly girl. He obviously likes
you, so why can’t you see that?” Fiona looked back at the dining room for a moment, then she turned back. “How
long have you known him? Is he a nice guy? I don’t want you dating another Shawn.” Lola didn’t know how she

and if she were honest, Logan was more dangerous than Shawn was. He was a random guy who did everything on
a whim, but since he came from a rich family, he could bully everyone without hesitation. Lola thought that was a
recipe for disaster, but she said, “He’s better than Shawn by miles.
Yeah, he has an ex, but I bet he didn’t even hold hands with her.” Fiona blinked. “I see. You don’t see boys like that
every day now.” Lola fidgeted stiffly and grunted. “True.” Fiona tut-tutted. “Fine by us, so do what you will.” She was
telling Lola to go for it. That made Lola turn scarlet. She then went back to her room quietly and closed the door.
