“Ah!”
Ever since Penny got kidnapped, she was terrified of blood. Especially warm blood.
She yelled and fainted as her eyes rolled back.
Her mother quickly went up seeing that her daughter had fainted. She pushed Lucas away and didn’t
even care about his wound. She hugged Penny and started yelling.
“Quick, call the doctor! Are you blind? Don’t you see that my daughter has fainted? She lost her child
because of you, and now you want to drive her crazy? Will you only be happy if she dies? Will you feel
at ease and live your life happily if she dies? I’m telling you, I won’t let you off the hook so easily, you’ll
pay for making her suffer!”
Lucas was still holding a knife in his hand, his arm was bleeding profusely. He stared at her mother’s
mouth as it moved. He couldn’t hear what she was saying, but he assumed that it wasn’t something
nice.
He had never been treated like this before.
But Penny’s face was extremely pale. He thought about her future life briefly and quietly pressed the
call bell.
Soon, the doctor and the nurses came.
They quickly gave Penny a check-up. She fainted because she was too agitated, there weren’t any
other problems besides that. One of the nurses noticed Lucas’ bleeding arm, she yelped in surprise.
“Mr. Green, your arm is bleeding! Quick, sit down. I’ll treat your wound.”
The doctor’s face turned pale upon hearing that.
“Mr. Green, why didn’t you say anything? Come, let me take a look. It could be infected.”
Her mother was relieved that her daughter was fine. But then she was a bit annoyed, seeing how the
doctor and nurses were making a big deal out of Lucas.
“He’s a soldier and that’s just a small wound, why are you guys being so fussy about it? My daughter is
the real victim here!”
“Shut up! Mr. Green didn’t kidnap your daughter, he rescued her! Blame the kidnapper, don’t blame Mr.
Green. How vile can you be, being so cynical to a soldier who rescued your daughter?”
One of the nurses couldn’t stand it anymore. She was happy that Lucas lost his hearings temporarily so
that he wouldn’t have to hear that nonsense.
Since when it was a matter of course for a soldier to rescue people without being thanked?
How could a person be so ungrateful?
Her mother felt annoyed after hearing what the nurse said. She wanted to retort, but a signaler came in
hurriedly. He saw Lucas sitting there and quickly saluted him, he then said, “Commander, someone
from the higher-ups wants to see you. I’m here to get you!”
Her mother was taken aback, hearing what the signaler referred to Lucas as.
Lucas still wanted to see how Penny was doing, but he couldn’t stand the atmosphere in the room
anymore. Not to mention that the higher-up probably wanted to talk to him about this incident.
He told the doctor, “Treat her well, use the best medicines and charge the bill to my personal account.”
“Yes, Mr. Green!”
Lucas then left the room.
Her mother said coldly, “Is he trying to act like a big shot? Charging to his personal account, he said.
How much does a poor soldier like him even make?”
“What nonsense are you spouting? The Green family used to be one of the most influential families in
Seapolis City. He was born with a silver spoon. Even if he didn’t join the troop, he would be a bigwig.
He never failed any of his missions in the past years and was the hero of the war. Stop talking bad
about him when you don’t know anything about him. If you insist, I will…”
“Kay!”
The doctor tried to stop the nurse, Kay, who was getting miffed.
Her mother was flabbergasted.
One of the most influential families in Seapolis City?
He was born with a silver spoon?
Then if Penny married him, she would be crazy lucky!
Her mother stopped talking and was scheming things in her head.
Lucas left the hospital and stared at the parking lot. He said in a low voice, “Get someone to look up
the car plate XXXX and see if there’s anything wrong with the car.
The car belonged to Yasmeen!
The signaler quickly got to the job.
Lucas got in the car. He was brought to a private area instead of the military region. He thought he was
going to meet Morty, but instead, he saw Mark.
“Uncle Mark?”
Lucas was a bit puzzled.
He looked around to confirm that Mark was alone, he then sat down opposite him.
“Since when did you become my boss?”
Mark looked at Lucas’ state and felt sorry for him.
He poured Lucas a cup of warm water and said slowly while looking at him, “How’s your ear?”
“It’s fine. Well, we all know how to read lips, so it doesn’t affect me that much for the time being.”
Lucas was optimistic, but he would only show this side of his personality to his family. To the outsiders,
he was always cold and aloof.
Mark sighed and handed the envelope he was holding to Lucas.
Lucas was taken aback but he didn’t say anything. He knew that Mark didn’t call him over for a family
reunion. He then proceeded to open the envelope.
When he saw what was inside, he squinted his pretty eyes.
“Where are these from?”
“It doesn’t matter where they come from. You know that Yasmeen was at the scene, right? You were
careless because she was there, and you tried to wipe away evidence that showed that she was there.
Am I right?”
Mark’s questions were spot on.
Lucas stayed quiet but this made Mark more sure of his assumptions.
“Why were you so careless? Do you really think that you are the best in scheming and that you won’t
fall into other people’s traps? Did you forget that Morty’s daughter, Michele, is as good as you? Let me
remind you again that Yasmeen is the princess of Country Y! She was at the scene and that could only
mean one thing. Nobody would be able to prove that she had nothing to do with the kidnap. You are a
soldier, you have so many medals on your uniform. How can you do an inside job for a princess of a
foreign country? Do you really think that you won’t get kicked out from the army just because Morty is
looking out for you?”
Mark slammed the table, he was very flustered. He was talking slowly because Lucas had to read his
lips. This made him even more agitated.
“Why are you trying to reaffirm your relationship with her at a time like this? Are you trying to rush to
your death? Do you know that just because you’re her boyfriend, it’s enough to isolate and question
you? Didn’t you hate her for a long time? Why did you suddenly agree to become her boyfriend?
Lucas, tell me the truth. Did you fake this relationship because of Steven and your parents?”
Lucas shook his head, he looked at Mark and said seriously, “Uncle Mark, Yasmeen and I are dating
for real.”
“Are you being serious? Did you know that Zoe is missing and now all the evidence is leading us to
Yasmeen?”
Lucas was perplexed upon hearing that.
“What happened to Zoe? Didn’t she go sketching?”
“Her teacher informed us that she received a phone call while sketching. The people around Zoe heard
her saying Yasmeen’s name when she picked up the phone. She left the crowd, and then was nowhere
to be found.”
Mark didn’t plan to tell Lucas about this at first, but he couldn’t stand it anymore after knowing that
Lucas and Yasmeen were really dating.
