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.

"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."

"But look at her foot-it's bleeding. She didn't fake it this time."
