His Eagle Eyes on Me

Lucas hung up, tears welling in his eyes.

Ivy stood by his side and asked, "What's wrong, Lucas?"

"My mom has passed away. You should keep your brother company! I need to head back to the hospital."

"I will come along! Aunty seemed fine just now, so why did she suddenly pass away?"

The two hurried toward the car, completely forgetting about Hayden and Shelly.

Hayden and Shelly watched as they left awkwardly, and Shelly said, "Honey, let's go to the hospital. I think Lucas' mother has passed away."

"Sure."

The two caught a taxi and hurried after Lucas.

Meanwhile, in the hospital, Lucas arrived to first encounter the doctor and then his father.

Mr. Woods tried ingratiating himself with his son, saying, "Lucas, I came to the hospital to see your mother, but when I arrived, she had already passed away. What a shame!"

"Are you sure she had already passed away before you came? I was here earlier today, and when I saw her, she was still alive!" Lucas said.

Mr. Woods retorted, "Everything I'm saying is true! Ask the doctor!"

"I won't ask the doctor!" Lucas declared, then turned to the nurse cowering in the corner. "Mrs. Hallanan, when did my mother pass away? Was it before or after he arrived?" The nurse, trembling in fear, struggled to respond.

Mr. Woods glared at her and commanded, "My son is asking you a question. Answer him! When I arrived, I didn't see you at all. Were you outside fooling around?"

The nurse immediately responded,

"When your father came, I was in the kitchen fetching water. I didn't see when your father arrived, nor did see when your mother passed away. I'm sorry! I will give up on my salary for this month!"

With that, the nurse hurriedly left the hospital room.

Lucas sighed deeply and approached his mother's bedside. Her body was still warm, but she would never open her eyes again.

"Lucas, don't be too upset. Your mother suffered greatly since she fell ill. Her passing might be a relief for her." Mr. Woods tried to console Lucas.

Lucas exploded, "What are you talking about? Get out! I don't want to see you! My mother didn't want to see you either!"

"Why are you shouting at me? I didn't cause your mother's death. She died of her illness. It has nothing to do with me!"

"Why did you come to the hospital?Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

My mother didn't want to see your I'm sur you're the one who drove her to her death!" Lucas raged. "Get out, or I will resort to violence!" en.swhovels.net

Terrified, Mr. Woods took two steps back. "I was going to help arrange your mother's funeral. If you don't need my assistance, fine! After everything is settled, I'll meet with Ivy's family..."

"Get out!" Lucas roared.

Mr. Woods left the hospital room, and, as fate would have it, he ran into Hayden and Shelly, who had just arrived.

Mr. Woods glanced at them and quickly recognized Hayden.

"You must be Hayden Tate, Ivy's brother, right? Hello, I'm Lucas' biological father." Mr. Woods extended his hand for a handshake.

Ivy heard the voice and immediately ran outside the room. "Hayden, ignore him!"

Hayden nodded and walked past Mr. Woods toward Ivy.
