Chapter 20: Lucasta’s New Hairstyle
It wasn’t until the clock struck seven that Lucasta woke up. Because she was still sleepy, she forgot to take off the blanket and walked straight out of bed.
As a result, she tripped and fell back onto the floor.
The impact was so strong that the two people sitting in the living room could hear it, and a few seconds later, Samson ran to her side.
– Lucasta, are you okay? Are you in pain? – He panicked, picked her up, laid her on the bed, and asked.
– I’m fine. Why did you wake up without calling me? She whispered.
– I saw you were sleeping soundly, so I didn’t dare to wake you up. Come on, wash your face. Aurora is waiting for you in the living room.
As soon as Samson finished speaking, Lucasta quickly stood up and ran to her room.
She hurriedly washed her face and changed into a new dress and ran to the living room because she wanted to go around the city during the day to see things more clearly.
– Good morning, Aurora.
– Good morning, Lucasta.
Those two greetings also put an end to the bustle of Harvey’s quiet apartment.
Because Samson thought Maris was sleeping, he didn’t disturb her.
After Aurora and Lucasta left, he went to Harvey’s room to have breakfast, then returned to his room and continued to sleep.
His life was in the hands of several generations of the Aurora family, so he was very confident when he let his jewel follow her.
While Samson was in a dream, on a mountain far from the city, Maris was standing alone in the middle of a cloudy sky.
This was the last place she saw Vincent, the man who had made her reel in feelings of pity, hatred, and love.
Unfortunately, her love for him began when he was gone forever.
Her footsteps slowly approached the ledge where Vincent fell and reached out to touch the surroundings.
There is no trace left here anymore. The rain and sun during the past thirty years have erased everything.
She sat on the mountain for a long time until the dark clouds gradually dispersed to make room for the sun and she returned to Harvey’s apartment.
When her feet touched the floor, she was startled because she saw Samson standing with his arms crossed and his back against the wooden cabinet, his eyes full of reproach.
– Good morning Samson, I felt a little stuffy, so I climbed up on the roof to get some fresh air. Maris tried to keep a calm expression and said.
He straightened up and approached Maris before her worried gaze.
The moment he reached out and touched her hair, she nearly held her breath.
Seconds later, he held out the dark green leaf in front of her and then let it fall.
– The cedar is still there, isn’t it?
Maris bit her lip and lowered her head to look at the leaf that was clinging to her feet. She was angry at herself for being so careless that she forgot to erase the tracks.
On the roof of the most luxurious building in the city, there was no cedar tree.
It wasn’t until he stepped back that she mustered up the courage to speak up.
– Sorry, Samson. I went there.
– Maris, I used to love and hate, so I understand your feelings. However, remember that at the foot of that mountain is the church and the vampire hunters are still there.
As soon as the sentence ended, Samson also walked away.
As he passed the wooden table, he placed Harvey’s room key on it before leaving the room.
Maris’s life was traded with Vincent’s life and countless injuries on Samson’s body, so more than anyone else, he didn’t want her to have any regrettable things.
The atmosphere in the apartment was heavy, but outside, the streets were still crowded and bustling.
In the places where Lucasta appeared, everything seemed to become bright and full of life when she smiled, and now in this hair salon.
Aurora expressed dissatisfaction with Lucasta’s new hairstyle because it made her look much older than her actual age.
This curly hairstyle is only suitable for girls between the ages of thirty and forty-five, while Lucasta is only about twenty years old.
However, Aurora could not stop Lucasta because she insisted on asking the hairstylist to make her this style.
– Aurora, I see I resemble Maris. Lucasta looked at herself in the mirror and said.
– I told you that already. This hairstyle makes you look older than your twenties. But that’s okay. A few months later, you ask Samson to take you to the city for a new haircut. Now, consider yourself a lady. Aurora put her hand on Lucasta’s shoulder and whispered.
After the two of them left the hair salon, Aurora took Lucasta into the restaurant for lunch.
Compared to Samson and Maris, Lucasta felt that eating with Aurora would be more fun because the doctor also ate as much as her.
However, Lucasta did not understand why Aurora was not fat, her body was still as slim as Maris, and did not see any excess fat.
– Lucasta, how do you feel about life in this city? If you had a choice, would you rather live here or go back to the castle? Aurora looked at Lucasta and said seriously.
– Of course. I want to live here. Everything is very convenient and I can even see you and Mr. Harvey. But Samson doesn’t seem to like the city. – Lucasta replied.
Aurora wasn’t happy to hear Lucasta’s honest answer, but she didn’t blame Lucasta because it was normal.
Aurora herself also doesn’t want to live in the woods all her life.
Perhaps Samson was wrong when he put Lucasta in front of two choices.
Even if the love between brother and sister can keep Lucasta in the forest, half her heart and mind will be in the city. It was a very uncomfortable feeling.
– Right. Samson likes quiet places. Perhaps he will live in the forest until he is old. – Aurora nodded and replied.
– Then I’ll probably live in the forest until I’m old. I can’t live without him by my side. I’ve only been out for half a day, but I already miss him.
After Lucasta finished speaking, she put the last piece of hamburger in her mouth without realizing that there were many middle-aged men around her staring at her.
Right now, she just wanted to get back to the apartment to see Samson’s face.
Aurora took Lucasta back to the luxury apartment building when the meal was over.
After confirming that Lucasta had entered the correct apartment number 309, she returned and drove straight to the Institute of Medical Sciences.
Lucasta’s curly hair like noodles made both Maris and Samson think she was a strange girl knocking on the wrong door.
Samson didn’t understand what Aurora did to his beautiful doll anymore.
Now if he said that Lucasta was his and Maris’ eldest sister, everyone would believe it.
He wanted to grab her hair and straighten it.
– I… this hairstyle is so pretty in the picture but I don’t know why when my hair is curled by them, it turns out like this. – Lucasta quickly explained because she realized Samson was looking at her with a disappointed look.
– You look so beautiful, noble, and luxurious, like a lady. Maris approached Lucasta and praised her.
– You must be tired after being out all morning. Go to your room and rest for a while. When the sun goes down, I will take you to the amusement park.
After Samson said that, he turned and walked away.
Lucasta looked at him, then she looked at Maris.
She saw that he didn’t look happy.
She intended to give him a hug when she met him, but he went back to his room.
– He hates me already. – Lucasta sighed and said.
– No. Samson won’t be so petty. It’s just… he’s shocked when he sees you change. If you saw him turn into a bald guy, you’d be just as upset.
Maris’s words made Lucasta happy again.
Maris is right. As soon as she imagined Samson’s bald head, she couldn’t accept it.
Perhaps he was used to seeing her straight hair, so he temporarily showed such displeasure.
Lucasta returned to her room and climbed into bed for a while before she discovered that she had forgotten the hairpin Samson had given her at the hair salon.
Right now, she wished she had a phone so she could ask Aurora to go there and find her hairpin.
All morning, she saw that most of the people in the city and even Aurora had cell phones. They could talk and hear each other even though they weren’t standing next to each other.
When the hairstylist removed the hairpin from Lucasta’s hair, he gave it to Aurora and she put it in her handbag and brought it to work.
– Hello, Aurora. I heard Susan say that you took a leave of absence today.
A voice suddenly spoke from behind, causing Aurora’s legs to stop.
She politely bowed when she saw the middle-aged man smiling at her.
– Hello, Mr. William. Because the research team had just brought tardigrades and sea monkeys to the lab, I had to be present.
– This research project costs quite a lot of money, but I still follow it to the end because of the poor patients. Do you understand what I mean?
– I understand. My team and I are still trying. We will not betray your trust.
William nodded in satisfaction at Aurora’s determination.
In the past, because of this research project, her parents had a conflict with the late director Walter and they were fired by him.
Since then, the research project to concentrate blood into a dry powder has also been postponed indefinitely.
It was not until Walter died and William was appointed to the position of director that he allowed the project to continue, and the project leader was Aurora, the only daughter of Dr. Richard.
Although Aurora’s parents’ research to concentrate blood into a dry powder has been completed and Samson and Maris are still using this blood powder, but that is, they absorb the substances by drinking it directly.
Besides, they are not ordinary people; they are vampires.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
The problem of bringing that form of dried blood back to liquid form and then transfusing it into the patient’s body is a different story.
She had tried to apply this method to rabbits and failed.
Therefore, Aurora did not dare to disclose her parents’ research.
She worked with the research team on a completely new project.
