Get you in my arms

Chapter 84 The Tricks (Part Four)

Lucas trembled violently with his face turning pale for a moment. Mandy jumped up from the sofa and said, "Sophia, I don't allow you to say such nonsense!" C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

Looking at the extremely nervous expressions of Lucas and Sophia, Sophia became more uneasy, but she didn't show it. She grinned and said, "I'm kidding. I'm fine. Why should I die?"

Mandy comforted his scared heart and sat down again, trying to hide anything from her daughter.

"From now on, I'll be your right arm. If you need anything, just ask me to do it."

"Do I have three arms now?" Sophia laughed.

"Still have a body." Lucas patted his chest, "even if the sky falls, I can help you."

She buried her head in his arms and listened to his heartbeat. She smelled the warmth from his chest to calm herself down.

The next day, authoritative doctors from America arrived. After a series of examinations and consultation, they made a plan of rehabilitation to awaken the muscle nerves.

However, her arm didn't get any better.

Lying on the wool carpet of the small starry sky, she stared blankly at the sky, not sleepy at all.

The snow was falling in the middle of the night, leaving stars on the spot.

It was late and deep at night. He should be not far from the dawn?

Will her world also usher in light?

She sighed. She seemed to be drowned in endless blue and couldn't get rid of him.

She turned around and looked at Lucas beside her. His even breathing was echoing in her ears. She couldn't help but feel sad for no reason and she sniffed.

He moved a little and suddenly opened his eyes. Looking at her big eyes, he touched her head lovingly and asked, "what's wrong? Can't you fall asleep?" Then he tucked her in lest she catch a cold.

"Did I wake you up?" She lowered her eyes apologetically. It seemed that he had never slept well these days. As long as she moved, he would immediately open his eyes.

"No, I haven't fallen asleep." He shook his head. But she knew that he didn't dare to sleep because he was worried about her. She held his face in her hands, "now you close your eyes and sleep at ease for me. I don't need your right arm at late night, you know? If there's anything, I'll call you. "

He nodded and held her up. "Go to sleep, honey. Don't think too much. I'm here with you."

"Yes." She buried her head in his arms. Yes, as long as she thought of him, all her worries and anxieties were gone.

When she woke up the next morning, she found that Lucas had already got up. He took the calendar and read it attentively while talking to himself.

"What are you doing?" She put her left arm on his shoulder.

"I'm checking which date I like better and I'll try to remember that." He opened his arms and held her up, making her sit on his legs.

"What are you doing?" She raised her eyebrows slightly.

"We're going to the Civil Affairs Bureau. Aren't you going to select a memorable day?" He smiled charmingly.

She was shocked, "the engagement party hasn't been held yet."

"Didn't we change our plan last time? After signing in, we'll hold the wedding directly." He flicked her forehead and said, "you have promised me."

She looked down with a hint of anxiety on her face. She didn't know what's the odds of the recovery of her arm? If she couldn't make it anymore, how could she be the mistress and have her lover killed? Moreover, birds would fly when they were in big trouble. If time went on, probably Lucas would be tired of her. When that time came, the women around him one after another, he would hate him to death.

"What are you thinking about?" He patted her on the shoulder, as if he had noticed her hesitation, and said, "we just hooked you up, and don't want to go back on your words!"

"No, it's not." She forced a smile and said, "I think we'd better make an engagement first, because the dress is well tailored. If we don't get engaged, I will have no chance to wear it."

"You will look more beautiful in wedding dress." He then put his lips on her forehead and gave her a gentle kiss.

"Lucas, let's follow our original plan. First engagement, then registration, then wedding. How perfect it is!" She decided to act like a spoiled child.

He sighed helplessly. "Okay, okay. You're the boss." He loved her so much. As long as she was happy, he would immediately make a spaceship to take her to the moon even if it was the moon in the sky.

Therefore, the engagement ceremony was put on the agenda.

Two weeks later, on the huge and luxurious Alice cruise, Lucas took his beautiful fiancee to the deck, covered with rose petals.

There were mixed feelings in Lucas' heart, excited and nervous.

But in his heart, there was only excitement, happiness. No matter how lucky he was to get married.

Mandy looked at her daughter with tears in her eyes. What he wished most was that her daughter could marry a good man.

Although Mr. and Mrs. Mo greeted the guests with a smile, there was a hint of helplessness in their smile. If their son was too stubborn and unruly.

For the sake of John's absence, he was afraid that he might be unable to hold his anger anymore. However, on the contrary, Maggie expressed her sincere wishes to Ellie in front of her. In this way, Ellie was moved and brought her along.

At the sight of uninvited guests, Sophia's face darkened for a moment, but soon she returned to normal. She didn't want anything to spoil the good image.

"Congratulations! I wish you and Lucas can be together forever." Maggie couldn't help but smell jealousy in her words.

"The rest of our lives are enough for us." Sophia smiled slightly.

"Not enough." Lucas shook his head, "you will also be mine in next life."

Seeing their affectionate eyes, Maggie was so furious that she wanted to jump into the sea. She saw nobody but Anna standing at the other end of the deck. She quickly walked up to them and smiled grimly.

"Nice to meet you, Mrs. Mo. I'm Maggie, Sophia's half-sister. I was glad to meet you in the chamber of Commerce." She introduced herself.

"Hello." Anna smiled politely.

"It's so lucky of my sister to marry to Lucas." Hearing that, Maggie smiled and said, "Lucas is so kind that he even treat my sister as a disabled person."

"A disabled?" "What do you mean?" Anna asked in surprise.

"Don't you know?" Maggie said, half covering her mouth with her hand. "My sister's right arm is not recovered completely. From now on, she can only use one arm."

"But Lucas has invited American experts to cure her, hasn't he?" She frowned.

"He did that to comfort my sister. It's impossible for her to recover." She didn't want to let Anna doubt her words.

Anna's face darkened. She didn't like Sophia before, and now she was disabled! How could a disabled man marry to Lucas? Even if his wife was not from a noble family, she must be a well-off woman!

Her expression satisfied Maggie very much. She guessed that Mandy might not know the truth because Maggie still wanted to give her this big gift.

When Sophia was about to go to the bathroom, Maggie followed her quietly.

"This dress is so beautiful." She deliberately closed the door to prevent others from coming in.

"What the hell are you trying to do this time?" Sophia cast a stern glance at Rachel. She knew Maggie must have some ill intentions by coming here. Instead of answering her, Maggie continued, "it's a pity. It is on a disabled woman."

"Who is disabled?" Sophia rushed to her.

"Who else here besides you?" "Don't you even know that you're disabled?" Maggie continued.

"My arm was only injured. It will recover soon!" "Can you tell me the truth?".

"Okay? Huh? " Maggie said with a smile. "I've asked the doctor for you. Your arm will be all right unless there is a miracle! They are all concealing you, and only I can tell you the truth! " Maggie paused and let out a long sigh. "Lucas is so excellent, but he wants to marry a disabled woman! I'm afraid that he will become a laughing stock in the whole Q City!"

"Shut up!" Sophia raised her left hand and slapped in the face. Maggie was angry. "How dare you!" She raised her hand and wanted to go back, but was stopped by Sophia. "I can handle you even with one arm. This is my place. If you don't want to be thrown into the sea to feed sharks, you'd better behave yourself!"

When she saw the fury in Sophia's eyes, Maggie was so frightened that she dared not move. She remembered what had happened to Helen.

"Get out!" As soon as she finished her words, Maggie rushed to the door and ran out as fast as she could

Sophia kicked the door closed, rushed to the pool and splashed her face desperately.

Can she not recover? "Is my arm really okay?" She will only have one arm?

No, it couldn't be. It must be because of Maggie. She said those words on purpose.

She raised her hand, pinched and beaten on her right arm angrily. You bastard! Do something! Don't let others see this! But she didn't have any response on her arm.

Tears welled in her eyes. She raised her head, and then raised again, trying to force them back.

There was a knock on the door. "Sophia, are you there?"

It was Lucas. He was a little worried about her.

"I'll be out in a minute."

She wiped her face hurriedly and took another deep breath, forcing herself to calm down, and then opened the door and went out.

"What's wrong?" She gave him a blaming look.

"No. the cruise is so big. I'm afraid you've got lost." He smiled and looked at her. Suddenly, he found her right arm. She pinched him just now and the bruise was still clear.

"Sophia, what's wrong with your arm?" He said tensely, "where did you get hurt? It hurts..." He stopped in a hurry, with an expression of apology in his eyes. With a hint of bitter smile on her face, she continued, "if only it hurts."

He put his arms around her shoulders and said, "You'll be fine. Trust yourself!"

Will it really be okay?

She looked at him with penetrating eyes. She wanted to ask him clearly, but she swallowed the words on the tip of her tongue. Today was their engagement day, and she wanted to continue the happiness, without anything to destroy it.

"Let's go. The guests are waiting for us." She held his arm.

She had been forcing herself to smile the whole day, though she felt more restless than the sea outside.

After that, she wanted to go to the doctor and ask him about the details. But she gave up the idea at last. Maybe she just could not accept the bad fact from the bottom of her heart. She just wanted to

have some fantasy and confidence.

But someone had already inquired about it.

After leaving the hospital, Anna made a call to Sophia and asked her out. This time, it was not up to her son. She couldn't let him spend the rest of his life with a broken wife.
