Chapter 1157 Lucy's Genuine Feelings

• "I, too, find him utterly contemptible," she admitted, staring up at the faint glow of the overhead light, tears flowing freely down her cheeks. "But why, after all these years, am I still unable to... Why can't I break free from his wretched world?" Her voice trembled with emotion as she sniffled. "I first got to know him as a child when my mother donated her kidney to him. We never crossed paths again after that."
• "Five years ago, when we reunited, I was delighted but fearful. I was thrilled to have rediscovered Lennon, yet terrified... terrified of losing him again in the future. But, Cherise, I cared deeply for him, and what did I receive in return? Humiliation from the Belcourt family, torment from Violet, and his complete indifference towards me. He never truly cared for me, not in the slightest."
• "Even during his relentless pursuit of me in the past, I understand it wasn't driven by genuine affection for me but rather by his personal aversion to failure and abandonment. My leaving him made him feel like a failure, like he had been abandoned, which is why he persisted... He never had genuine feelings for me. He only had a desire to triumph."
