Aveline looked at him coldly. “It’s still better than your reasons for getting close to me.”

“You’re wrong.”

Lucas looked at her with amusement. “I approached you simply because I wanted to possess you. But as for him, the consequences might be more than you can handle.”

Aveline pressed her lips together, not saying a word. She knew well enough who treated her well and who didn’t.

How could she possibly judge Russell’s intentions based on a few words from Lucas?

Besides, she had nothing to offer; what could Russell possibly want from her?

She pushed him away. “I have to go to work.”

Lucas, however, shut the door behind them, speaking coldly, “You need to go to the hospital first. You’re sick, and you need treatment.”

Aveline glared at him. “You’re the one who’s sick!”

Lucas replied, “You know better than anyone how healthy I am, don’t you?”

Aveline fell silent, unwilling to continue the conversation.

Lucas remained firm, insisting on taking her to the hospital.

Aveline resisted strongly, but as they reached the ground floor, Lucas‘ phone suddenly rang. He answered, “Hello?”

The person on the other end said, “Mr. Lucas, Madam Barbara is unwell. You should come and see her.”

Lucas responded indifferently, “If she’s unwell, take her to the hospital. I’m not a doctor.”

But the person on the other end sounded desperate, “This time it’s serious, Mr. Lucas. You’re her only grandson. You can’t just ignore her!”

Lucas furrowed his brows and glanced back at Aveline. Suddenly, he said, “Fine.”

After hanging up, he grabbed her hand. “You don’t have to see the doctor, but you need to come with me somewhere.”

Aveline found this strange. “Where?”

“You’ll see when we get there,” Lucas replied.

Though still reluctant, Aveline preferred this over seeing a doctor, so she stopped resisting.

Soon, the car arrived at the hospital. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Barbara was once again admitted.

Aveline was quite puzzled as she followed Lucas into the VIP ward. When they opened the door to one of the rooms, she saw Frederick and Yvonne already inside. Sophia was sitting by the bedside, holding Barbara’s hand, her face stained with tears, looking very sorrowful. Barbara’s complexion was poor, and she appeared extremely frail.

Upon hearing the door, everyone turned to look.

Frederick’s brows immediately furrowed when he saw Aveline. “Lucas, you could’ve come alone. Why did you bring an outsider?”

Lucas replied coolly, “Who’s the outsider?”

Frederick’s expression darkened. He could never remain calm when facing Lucas.

“I want to remarry her, so she’s not an outsider,” Lucas added.

“What?” Sophia exclaimed in shock. “How can you remarry? Madam Barbara would never agree!”

Lucas let out a cold laugh. “It’s me who wants to remarry, not her. What does her approval have to do with it?”

“You…”

“Cough, cough…”

Barbara opened her eyes on the bed, looking at Lucas with a weak expression.” Lucas, do you want me to die without peace?”

Lucas softened his expression slightly as he looked at her. “Grandma, you’re at an age where you should be enjoying your twilight years. It’s better for your health if you don’t meddle in the affairs of us young people.”

Though his tone was respectful, the meaning was clear–her threats didn’t matter to

him.

Barbara began coughing violently again. “If you continue like this, how will I face Leo? If he knew what you’ve become, he’d be so disappointed. He adored you the most!”
