    Chapter 282 The Porcin Girl and the Parade

    Ginnie’s hand clenched slightly at her side. She forced a smile. “I only came to visit Madam Tessa.”

    Lucas nodded faintly. “Since you’re here for my grandmother, then take your time chatting.”

    With that, he turned to Sloane and spoke gently, “Molly made your favorite dishes. Let’s go have breakfast.”

    Sloane nced at Ginnie, her tone mild. “Shouldn’t you be heading to the press conference soon?”

    “It’s just a small event. No need to rush,” Lucas said as he guided Sloane toward the dining room.

    As Sloane passed Ginnie, her lips curved faintly, a subtle glint of amusement shing in her eyes.

    After breakfast, Lucas personally drove Sloane to the university gates.

    The moment Jill heard Sloane was back, she sprinted out of campus like a madwoman.

    When she spotted Sloane stepping out of the car, she practically jumped with joy.

    She dashed over in three giant strides and threw her arms around Sloane, her voice filled with irrepressible excitement. “Sloane! You’re finally back! I missed you so much!”

    Sloane nearly got the wind knocked out of her and patted Jill’s back with a smile. “I missed you too.”

    Lucas hurried over, looking rmed. “Jill, be careful. Sloane might be cured, but she’s still recovering.”

    He was treating her like she was made of porcin

    Jill quickly let go, scanning Sloane up and down with concern. “You okay? Did I hurt you?”

    Sloane chuckled, her tone light. “I’m fine. I’m just a little weak, not made of ss. You don’t have to be so

    nervous.”

    Jill sighed in relief but quickly turned serious. “Still, you can’t take any chances while you’re healing.”

    Lucas nodded in agreement. He looked at Jill with sincerity. “Jill, I’m counting on you to help take care of

    Sloane for now,”

    His tone carried weight, and his gaze was full of trust.

    Jill pped her chest with pride. “Leave it to me! I swear, she won’t even lose a strand of hair on my

    watch!”

    Sloane looked at the two of them acting like they were guarding a national treasure and burst intoughter. “You two are being ridiculous. I’m not some terminal case.”

    She was just recovering, not helpless.

    After repeating several more instructions, Lucas finally got back in the car and headed to the press conference.

    Jill linked arms with Sloane as they strolled toward campus. She nced back at Lucas’s retreating car and muttered, “At least the man still has a conscience.”

    “What’s that supposed to mean?” Sloane turned to her curiously.

    Jill shook her head. “Nothing. He’s going to the office?”

    “No, to a press conference,” Sloane replied. “Something about a new productunch between Hawthorne Corp and the Li family.”

    “What?” Jill nearly exploded. “Then Ginnie’s definitely going too, right?”

    “Yeah,” Sloane said calmly. “She was at the Hawthorne estate first thing this morning, waiting for Lucas.”

    Jill clicked her tongue, indignant. “I knew it. That Ginnie really doesn’t waste a second. You just came back and she’s already rushing over there to unt herself.”

    Sloane took the opportunity to ask about the text message Jill had sent her. “By the way, what did you mean in that message?”
