Chapter 888: He's My Boyfriend

"Aveline!" Orion's face changed instantly. Aveline had grown up running alongside Aurora and was an experienced runner. How could she have fallen after just three hundred meters?

"Orion, I'm fine. You don't need to worry about me," Aveline said as she got up, trying to act as though nothing had happened.

"Falling for no reason? How could you be fine?" Orion's brows furrowed deeply. In some ways, he understood her better than her own parents.

"Orion, I really-what are you doing?" Aveline barely managed two steps before Orion caught her. Even after just watching her run, he could tell something was wrong with her leg.

"Orion, I know I can't finish the whole marathon like this, but at least let me finish one kilometer," Aveline replied, still stubbornly focused on her performance.

Onlookers near the track began murmuring amongst themselves.

"Why did Aveline fall?"

"No way. She's just pretending again. This isn't the first time she's pulled something like

this. Orion wouldn't fall for someone like her."
