Thalia, upon seeing his stern expression, smirked. "What's the matter? It's only been a while since we last saw each other, and you don't recognizeanymore?" Lucas' face turned livid, and he glared fiercely at the guards by the door.
"Now, now. You shouldn't blthem. They won't dare to stopfrom coming in as long as I insist I'm your friend. You're the careless one. You'd rather listen to your grandmother talking than cback to your beloved wife's side. Seems like you're not that concerned about her after all. Just like how you used to like my sister, but then eventually forgot about her!" Lucas' pupils dilated slightly. He had not even started questioning her, yet Thalia had already admitted to everything.
"So you really did kill Claudia!" Thalia chuckled. "Me? Kill my sister? You must be joking. I just gave her the medicine she usually takes. The pills were hers, and she took them herself. Isn't that right?" Lucas, enraged to the point of laughter, retorted, "She was your sister! Aren't you afraid she'd cback and haunt you? How can you be so calm after doing so many wicked things? Don't you have any conscience at all?" Ret Thalia's face darkened. Finally, unable to bear it any longer, she stood up, covered her ears, and screamed, What do you know? Nothing!

You caused your sister's death, yet you dare to shift all the blonto us," Lucas retorted sharply.

"I don't know what you're talking about. I have no recollection of ever meeting you alone, and I don't understand why you insist on pursuing me. To me, your so-called love is just a heavy burden weighing on me. I don't like you, and never like a woman like you!"
Lucas's words were like the final straw that broke the camel's back leaving Thalia on the verge of collapse. She trembled as she sat back heavily in the chair.
"You don't remember... You rescuedfrom the deepest despair. You om were like a beacon of light in my life, but how you're saying you don't remember? You don't even remember your handkerchief?"
