“Aren’t you going to try it on?” asked Zoe in jest while looking at Lucas.
The latter cast her a glance and said indifferently, “Are you making trouble again?”
“I just want to know if you really have eight abs, as Yasmeen said.”
Lucas slightly frowned. “Can you just be a gentlewoman? Besides, leave Yasmeen alone. Don’t
influence her.”
“Gee! Has she influenced me, or have I influenced her? You should know I’m single right now.”
Zoe was a bit annoyed.
Lucas answered flatly, “You are single, but it doesn’t mean you can’t get pleasure by fancying men.”
“Lucas!”
Zoe felt his words had hurt her.
With a smile, Lucas asked, “Are you here to tell me about this?”
“Of course not.”
Zoe directly sat down opposite Lucas, found a mug, and gave it to him.
“You made the tea?” asked Zoe.
“Ehn.”
Lucas nodded in confirmation.
Recently he fell in love with the taste of the tea, so he made some. However, seeing Zoe’s frown, he
took another tea set and made some tea.
Looking at Lucas’s elegant movements, Zoe couldn’t tell that he was a soldier at all.
Even after serving in the military for several years, he still looked like a nobleman -- steady, reserved,
and aloof.
“Lucas, I remembered you didn’t care about Yasmeen at all before. Why did you suddenly accept her?”
Upon hearing it, Lucas paused while making the tea. He glanced at her and said, “Jus straight to the
point.”
“You are not lovely at all,” Zoe complained.
Lucas answered flatly, “Girls can be lovely. Do you think it’s an appropriate word for me?”
“All right. I’ll stop beating around the busy. Why did you suddenly accept Yasmeen?”
“I was moved by her. Her persistence worked,” answered Lucas.
However, Zoe curled her lips. “Her persistence on you? Your heart is made of diamond. Nothing could
move it at all. Come one. Tell me. Did you happen to know something?”
“What do you think I’m supposed to know?”
Lucas put down the teapot and looked at Zoe in amusement.
Zoe cursed him for being so cunning, but she went straight to the point.
“Did you happen to know Yasmeen was your renal donor?”
Her question came so sudden, but Lucas wasn’t surprised at all.
Zoe looked like a doll, but all members of the Green family knew she always represented the whole
family.
Lucas only kept silent, but Zoe knew she had guessed the correct answer.
“Did you accept Yasmeen because of this?”
“What on earth do you want to know?”
Lucas realized that his younger sister wouldn’t leave unless he could give her some helpful information.
Zoe asked him solemnly, “Do you love Yasmeen?”
“I will sooner or later.”
Lucas’s answer annoyed Zoe.
“Lucas, although you are my older brother, Yasmeen grew up with me together. She’s like my elder
sister. Sometimes, I’m even closer to her than with anyone else in my family. I don’t want her to be
hurt.”
“I won’t hurt her. I’ll treat her well all my life. Although I’m not sure if I love her, I will dote her and protect
her. The most important is after I’ve accepted her, I find myself enjoying staying with her,” said Lucas in
a low voice.
Zoe didn’t hear the answer she wished to hear the most, but judging from Lucas’s words, she knew he
had accepted Yasmeen and was willing to be with her. It was a good start.
“Does Yasmeen know you’ve known she was your kidney donor?”
“She doesn’t want me to know it, so I pretend not to know. Hence, our conversation today never
happens. Understand?”
Lucas glared at Zoe with a warning.
Zoe was a bit depressed.
She wondered if this matter was a kind of romantic trick between the couple.
She must have been too nosy.
Thinking of that, she was annoyed.
“Lucas, do you know sometimes I truly want to beat you up?”
“You can never win against me.”
Lucas’s proud tone almost pissed Zoe off.
“When did you get to know Yasmeen was your donor?”
“When she appeared at the kidnapping scene.”
Upon hearing it, Zoe was surprised.
“How come?” she asked.
“Before the kidnap happened, we had been paid attention to that kidnapper. However, before we found
all his information, he kidnapped Penny. In such an emergency, I could only choose to rescue the
hostage first. However, when I saw Yasmeen at the scene, I recalled Edison’s words. Half a year
earlier, when I was in the hospital because of a serious injury and almost dead, through a different
channel, Yasmeen entered into the military hospital where I was and stayed for more than two hours.
After she came out, she looked pretty pale.”
While recalling, Lucas continued, “A lot of things could be done in those more than two hours.
However, my operation was also taken for two hours. Although she might stay there for such a long
time because she was worried about me, my injury at that time was highly classified. Even my family
wasn’t informed. You got to know it because of the renal source. Why did Yasmeen appear at the
scene then?”
Zoe was stunned.
She had to admit that Lucas had found some details and figured out something from them.
“So, did you look into this matter?”
“I couldn’t do it right away, and neither did I have the time, but I just kept the question in my mind. After
I left the hospital, I looked into Yasmeen’s activity tracks during that period. Coincidentally, more than
one week after my operation, Yasmeen didn’t visit me at all. How could a girl who was chasing me in
the past twenty years and used other channels to visit me when I was dying despite anything not visit
me after I was out of danger? It meant she was stopped by something.”
Lucas’s eyes darkened.
“During that period, she should be recovering in another hospital. She’s the princess of a foreign
country, so she could go to her private hospital. We couldn’t find it out naturally. However, she forgot
one thing -- no matter whether it was a private hospital or secure, they needed to purchase medicines
from the medical companies. Hence, I checked the medicine purchase records in the hospital that she
stayed.”
Upon hearing it, Zoe had roughly understood.
The private hospital was open because of ensuring Yasmeen’s health. It only served her. However,
they purchased some post-surgery medicines for the kidney. Lucas wasn’t a fool. Hence, he got to
know everything.
Yasmeen kept the secret very well, but she never expected that Lucas had already known everything.
She never wanted Lucas to accept her because of her kindness to him, but it still happened.
