Chapter 170 - Ch. 170 The Mysterious Girl

Lydia blinked a few times to make sure that the person before her eyes wasn't a hallucination.

"Nick?"

The young man she called out had a broad and friendly smile… to be more precise, the kind of smile that would attract the girls he wanted to advance.

Lydia got to her feet and began to adjust her expression so the young man wouldn't notice her sadness.

"What are you doing here?" Nick already knew why Lydia was in this hospital, but he decided to pretend he didn't know when he realized Lydia was trying to be cheerful.

"I could ask you the same thing," he answered in his usual friendly tone. "Are you sick? Does your sister know about it?"

Nick chuckled, amused to see the girl's pair of brown eyes watching him from head to toe.

"You're worried about me?"

Lydia snorted in disagreement. She was genuinely worried about the young man, but Nick was teasing her instead. It seemed that the young man was neither injured nor sick, judging by his high level of confidence. Plus, the young man was still able to tease her as usual.

"You seem to be in good health. And FYI, I'm not worried about you. I'm worried about Miss Kaylee, who will cry if she finds out that her favorite brother is in the hospital."

"Kaylee won't cry but will nag me. Anyway, my friend had an accident and was hospitalized here. So I came to see him."

"Oh, I see. Is he okay?"

"He won't be able to walk for a few weeks, but other than that, he's fine. You?"

"Me?"

"What are you doing here?"

"I…" Lydia seemed to think for a moment, "I also visited an acquaintance of mine here."

"Is your acquaintance had an accident too?" he asked casually as if what he was asking was everyday conversation.

"Not really. She… Have you eaten yet?" Lydia suddenly changed the subject.

Even though she hadn't eaten since this afternoon, Lydia didn't feel hungry at all. She wasn't even in the mood to eat after her talk with Lucas.

But this was the only way to distract the young man.

"Not yet. Are you asking me out on a date?" teased Nick left Lydia speechless.

How did the question end up being a date invitation?

"I asked you, have you eaten. Who asked you out on a date? After all, tonight I…." Lydia decided not to continue her words and stop her words.

"You what? Don't tell me… you have another blind date?" guessed Nick suspiciously.

"…"

"Lydia, aren't you tired of meeting and pretending to be someone else in front of strangers? Why do you insist on going on a blind date?"

"None of your business." Lydia walked out because she wanted to get home and avoid Nick.

Today Lydia was feeling incredibly tired, both physically and mentally. She wanted to rest at home and lock herself in her room until tomorrow morning. She was sure her mood would improve after she slept one night.

Many cars and city buses were passing by on the highway where Lydia walked on the side road. And there were also some passersby like her.

But… why did she feel like Nick was following her too?

Lydia looked back, and it was as she had expected. Nick was indeed following her and stopped as soon as she glanced at him.

"Why did you follow me?"

"Who followed you? This is a public road leading to the bus stop." refuted Nick casually.

Lydia bit her lower lip in embarrassment because what Nick said was true. This road does lead to the bus stop!

Tsk! Why is she super sensitive today?

Lydia decided to ignore Nick and walked back to the bus stop without knowing that Nick gave her a triumphant smile.

'She's so cute.' thought Nick as he pressed his lips together to keep from laughing.

By the time they arrived at the bus stop, Lydia had looked towards the bus's arrival time, which would come in about fifteen minutes. She decided to sit on the long seat with her eyes closed, ignoring the young man sitting next to her.

Even though Lydia was closing her eyes, she felt a pair of eyes staring at her for some reason. Because she was afraid that she would get the wrong idea again, especially since Nick liked to tease her, Lydia decided to keep her eyes closed.

As Lydia expected, Nick was sitting next to her and staring at her intently.

Nick looked at her face from the eyebrows down to the curly, doll-like eyelashes. Then his eyes fell on the corners of Lydia's lips which intrigued him for some reason.

Although it looks a bit different, why does he feel Lydia is the mysterious girl who gave him a hot kiss on the night of the music battle?

Nick remembered a girl suddenly appearing and greeting him, "Hi, prodigy boy. I'm your number one fan now." then the girl kissed him without letting him return the greeting.

The girl's voice sounded melodious and appropriate for her age, but…. it was not Lydia's.

Or… could it be that Lydia changed her voice on purpose? After all, the girl is very good at changing her voice to imitate people's voices. Lydia Brewster was gifted in impressions.

Nick remembered Kaylee once taking Lydia to a children's school to give music lessons there. The children didn't want to listen to Kaylee at that time and just played as they wanted to make Kaylee overwhelmed.

That's why she took Lydia with her and let the girl imitated some of the children's favorite cartoon characters to make all the kids follow her word.

Nick wouldn't be surprised if the mysterious girl who kissed him that night were Lydia… but… her face was completely different. Ah, that girl is also an expert at remaking someone's face.

The fact that she could make Kaylee look different when dressed as Roe or as him was unquestionable.

Lydia could have transformed herself into someone else and looked much younger by using her gifted hands.

But… if that girl was Lydia… why did she kiss him?

For as long as Nick could remember, Lydia refused his advances whenever he tried to flirt with her. That girl even knocked on his head or pinched his cheek when they were alone.

Obviously, Lydia didn't think of him as a man, so why did Lydia give him a passionate kiss?

That girl definitely wasn't Lydia.
