"Lucas, forget it."
Yasmeen grabbed Lucas's arm.
Looking at Yasmeen's worried look, a hint of tenderness crossed Lucas' eyes and he whispered, "I
can't just let it go. This is the kidney I found for you, and no one has the right o take it away. Just wait
for me to come back."
"I'm coming with you."
Yasmeen was worried and scared. She knew Lucas was capable, but she just couldn't help but worry
about him.
If it was before, Lucas would never have refused. But Yasmeen's health was poor now, even though
she was trying to hide it.
Lucas stroked her head and whispered, "Listen to me! Just wait here for me to come back."
When he finished, Yasmeen knew what his decision was. A flash of disappointment crossed her eyes.
She hadn't been able to keep up with Lucas, and she wasn't sure if she was considered a burden to
Lucas now. But Yasmeen knew that if she had the chance to choose again, she would still make the
same choice without hesitation. Because loving him had become a habit for her.
"Okay, you need to be safe. I'll wait for you to come back."
Yasmeen did not continue to plead with him.
Since Lucas didn't think it was appropriate for her to go with him, she would wait here quietly, even if
she was anxious and worried a lot.
Lucas knew that Yasmeen was feeling bad, but at this time, he had to be more sensible. Because he
knew the risk Yasmeen was taking by going out was one he could not afford to take.
He looked deeply at Yasmeen and then walked away, while Joseph followed him out of the room.
Joseph frowned at Lucas's quick pace and said, "Are you sure you don't want to take her? She's
actually in good health."
"I don't want any eventuality for her. I don't need to worry about her safety with the military here, the
Bradford family, and her mother and brother protecting her. Brother, where did that man go?"
Lucas walked to the door and glanced back at Joseph.
Joseph pointed in the direction of the side and said, "I couldn't see very well. It was about this direction.
Why don't you wait for the guys in the military district to find out before you make a decision?"
"No, Yasmeen's kidney can't wait."
After saying that, Lucas walked straight out in the direction Joseph pointed.
He was in such a hurry that he didn't see a flash of mixed emotions pass through Joseph's eyes before
it disappeared in a flash.
The entire military hospital was under martial law as the guys in the military district were also on the
trail.
Lucas chased that person out for a long way without seeing any trace.
He couldn't help but pause.
Even if the man was a terrorist and would have many counter-surveillance skills, there couldn't have
been no trace at all.
Lucas's brow was furrowed in thought.
On the other hand, Joseph returned to his office. He had just pushed open the door when a dagger
was put to his chin.
"It's me."
Joseph's face was unchanged as if the dagger under his chin was made of paper and carried no threat.
He stepped forward as if there was no one else present.
That person hastily withdrew the dagger and looked at Joseph with a frown, "Do you want to die? If I
don't hold it steady, you'll get your throat slit by me."
"I don’t care. What's the difference between what I'm doing now and being dead?"
Joseph's eyes were deadly silent and depressing.
That person bit her lower lip and looked at Joseph as if she had a lot to say, but finally stopped.
She pulled off her hood, revealing her long, wavy brown hair, and her blue eyes seemed to carry a hint
of magic that made one fall in at first glance.
Ignoring her beauty, Joseph went behind his desk, pulled open a drawer and pulled out a boat ticket,
then said indifferently, "That's all I can do. Get out of here. You can't afford to mess with the Green
Family or the military. I hope this is the last time I see you. From now on, we're done."
The woman had mixed emotions in her eyes. She looked at Joseph, trying to see an ounce of affection
in his face, but unfortunately, there was none.
With resignation, she said, "Don't you feel anything for me at all?"
"Yes."
"If you don't, why are you helping me? Just because I saved your life once? Joseph, I took the kidney
of your sister-in-law-to-be. Aren't you afraid your brother will turn against you for that?"
"Fuck off! Immediately, right now!"
Joseph's eyes went colder.
The woman had always thought Joseph was gentle and had never even seen him lose his temper with
anyone. But now his eyes were so cold that she couldn't help but cower and tremble.
Joseph at this time was strange, frightening, and unapproachable.
The woman clutched the case in her hands, gave Joseph one last look, and then jumped straight out of
the window.
Joseph slumped into the chair after the woman had gone, while his palms and back were wet with
sweat.
His hands were still trembling slightly as he picked up the phone.
This was the first time he had hurt his family. Although Yasmeen was not yet considered one of the
Green Family, she was going to marry Lucas after all.
Instead, he had helped an outsider steal his sister-in-law's kidney.
Joseph's eyes deepened. Never a smoker, he actually took out a cigarette and lit it. He took two puffs
and choked and coughed.
He put the cigarette down. The nicotine gave him a brief moment of recovery. He could only pick up the
phone and make a call to someone from the black market.
"I need a kidney, exactly the same as I asked for last time. Whatever the price, I want it. Move fast!"
The man from the black market was stunned for a moment, but said nothing and simply quoted a
number. Joseph hung up the phone and then gave the man the money.
After doing this, he suddenly felt someone staring at him from behind.
"Who?"
Joseph suddenly turned around and saw Lucas standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. He
didn't know how long he had stayed, or how much he had heard. He just stood there in the shadows of
the floor-to-ceiling window, but the look in his eyes made Joseph feel burned.
"When did you get back? And why didn't you make a sound?"
Joseph was a little apprehensive but tried desperately to suppress it. He poured a glass of water and
drank it, but still felt unable to face Lucas's gaze.
Lucas took it all in and slowly stepped out of the shadows.
He had rarely looked at Joseph so seriously.
As he grew older, he and Joseph actually looked more and more alike, and some people believed them
when they went out and said they were twins.
Lucas had never imagined that his brother would actually do such a thing.
This outcome hit him hard. He was even hesitant to walk out and let Joseph know he had been here.
But he felt like his brain had shut down and couldn’t dictate his physical actions at all
"Why?"
Lucas's voice was a little hoarse. He looked straight at Joseph, as if he was questioning him from his
soul, and for a moment, Joseph was a little afraid to look at him directly.
