The Boy Who Tattooed My Name on His Chest novel Chapter 28

She thought, once she left Luke without any regrets, she could live proudly for herself.

Gina held the bracelet tightly, murmuring to herself, unaware that the door nearby had been opened.

Luke stood by the door, his gaze full of cold hatred.

Two days later, Gina took the jade bracelet to the auction house.

Because it wasn’t sold immediately, she had to find another part-time job.

To keep herself from overthinking, Gina filled her schedule, spending her days either in class or working. Time for sleeping and eating was squeezed in.

One day, Luke came to deliver food to her. After she finished eating, she prepared to leave, but he grabbed her wrist.

"Gina, you haven’t been resting well lately. Why don’t you skip today’s part-time job?"

Luke looked at her with a heart full of concern: "You’ve lost weight, your eyes are bloodshot…"

Gina smiled faintly: "I’m fine. Once I’m done with this, I’ll be okay."

Luke lowered his eyes: "It’s all my fault. I’ve dragged you down…"

"Don’t say that. Life, illness, and death—these things are beyond your control."

Gina glanced at the time: "Don’t overthink it. I’m running out of time. I have to go."

After she spoke, Luke leaned in and kissed her on the cheek: "You’ve worked hard."

Gina stiffened, not saying anything further, and hurriedly left.

After rounding the corner, she pretended to casually wipe her face.

But when he couldn’t see her anymore, the smile on Luke’s lips quickly faded, and he disgustedly wiped his lips.

He picked up his phone and sent a message—"She’s gone, move."

...

Gina hadn’t been at her part-time restaurant for long when Zoe appeared arrogantly with a group of people.

She scanned the room, saw Gina serving food, and pointed at her: "You serve us."

Gina had no choice but to serve them, lowering her head.

But just as she finished serving and was about to leave, Zoe suddenly grabbed her arm.

"Gina, are you so desperate for money that you’ve started stealing things?"

Gina stood silently for a long time before slowly turning around and leaving without entering.

In the following days, Gina was so busy that no one saw her.

Until the day of Luke's birthday, Gina arrived at the student union activity room, carrying her backpack.

The bracelet had sold for a good price, not only covering her medical expenses but also providing enough for her to open a studio after graduation.

She felt particularly sorry for her mother, and if given the chance in the future, she would still want to buy the bracelet back.

With this thought, she reached the door.

Just as Gina was about to push the door open, she caught a glimpse through the crack of the door. Zoe was sitting on Luke's lap, affectionately wrapping her arms around his neck.

"You think Gina will really sell her mother’s heirloom?"

"She will. She doesn't have any other choice now."

Gina froze in place, her heart feeling as though it had been pierced by a bullet. Half of her body felt numb.

"Tsk, Luke, I find you really heartless. Are you not afraid she’ll find out the truth?" Gina distinctly saw Luke smirk, his cold smile flashing for a moment. "I’m looking forward to it."

At that moment, Gina's thoughts came to a complete halt. Her chest felt as though it was being crushed, her eyes uncontrollably becoming redder with each passing second.
