Chapter 181
Pa!
Mrs. Pate walked up to him and hit him hard on the back with her cane. Tears were already flowing out of her turbid eyes. The Johnson family was going to be defeated by her. "What a sin! What a sin! God wants us to die..."
Before she could finish her words, she rolled her eyes and fell to the ground, her limbs twitching.
"Mom!"
"Grandma!"
"Go and call the doctor!"
"Arrange a car, and immediately arrange a car to send Mom to the hospital!"
"Give me a hand and lift me up!"
The hall was in a mess. The Pate family had been relying on their grandmother all the time. If anything happened to their grandmother, the Pate family would be doomed!
Maddox panicked instantly. His hands and feet went limp as he rushed forward. "Grandma!"
Grandma was getting old, so he shouldn't use this kind of thing to provoke her. Grandma couldn't get into any trouble!
"It's none of your business. Go and find that Young Madam Nan. I don't have a brother like you!" Gail cried and pushed him away. He shouted heartbreakingly, "Brother, why did you offend Mr. Johnson? Do you know that you have harmed the Pate family? You are too selfish!"
"Cousin, you're crazy! How on earth did the Pate family let you down? Do you want to drag the Pate family into this mess?"
"You've let us down! We all count on you to take over the Pate family and get better with them. But now... what the hell are you doing?"
"Maddox, if anything happens to Mom, I won't let you off!"
The group of people pointed at Maddox. They either accused him bitterly or scolded him loudly to express the grievance in their hearts. The hall was in chaos.
Maddox looked at them, who were opening and closing their mouths, and watching them frantically pulling out the stretcher on their grandmother's stage. Their heads were swollen and their hands and feet were so weak that they could not move at all.
He wanted to go to the hospital with his grandmother, but he was afraid of hearing the news that he didn't want to hear, so he didn't dare to go there.
Did he... do something wrong?
...
On the fifth day of the new year, the old man called Lucy over. "A couple should have a look like a couple. You live in the old house all day long. If you are separated from Caden, you will get into trouble."
"I understand, Grandpa." Lucy lowered her gaze. "I'll have to trouble you to take care of the child."
The old tutor was driving her away in disguise. She had no choice but to leave. She had to leave as well!
As for Caden, she didn't want to take him away. With Elyse and Arthur living in the Li Garden, such a foul environment wasn't suitable for Caden.
"As long as I'm alive, Mihn won't suffer a loss!" Seeing that she was sensible, the old man was very satisfied. "Leo, take it out!"
The old butler came over with a box in his hands and respectfully handed it to the old man.
Old Man Nan waved at Lucy. "Come here. I'll give you a treasure!"
Lucy obediently walked over and watched as the old man opened the box, revealing an extremely beautiful and primitive blood jade bangle.
"This is the symbol of the wife of the head of the Johnson family. I'll leave it to you. Take it!" The old man looked at the bracelet for a while, took it out, and handed it to her. His eyes were full of vicissitudes of life. "This is passed down from the ancestors. Protect it well!"
He didn't know how long it would take, so he could only do as much for the Johnson family as possible.
"Lucy is bold, thoughtful, and calm. She will definitely have the courage to challenge the mother of the Johnson family!"
"Thank you, grandpa." Lucy did not stand on ceremony. He took the bracelet and put it on his wrist. She knew that if she had just refused to return to Lindbarry Chateau or wanted to take Caden away, this bracelet would not have belonged to her.
She sat in the car arranged by the Old Master and went back to Lindbarry Chateau.
"Ms. Morgan is here?" Ruby was watering flowers. Seeing her, she quickly said, "Come in and sit down. It's cold outside."
Then she shouted into the room, "Aunty Julianne, Ms. Morgan is here. Make her some hot tea!"
She looked like a lady in charge.
Lucy glanced at Ruby indifferently. She couldn't be bothered to put on a show. Elyse didn't feel tired of acting, but she still felt tired!
She walked into the hall. When she saw that all the decorations in the hall had been changed, her heart ached.
The Lindbarry Chateau was given to her by Arthur, and every decoration inside was designed by her. But now, there was nothing here that belonged to her.
She licked her dry lips and sat on the new black sofa. Only then did she realize that there was another person sitting opposite—
The woman was dressed fashionably with famous brands all over her body, but most of them were high-end imitations. Her long black hair was draped over her shoulders, and half of it was scattered in front of her face, but it could not cover her dark eyes and swollen face.
Her hands were very thin, and her skin was tightly attached to the skeleton. There was no luster at all. She looked like a chicken claw of low quality.
"Lizbeth?" Lucy looked at her for a long time before he recognized her. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Lizbeth, who had been in a daze just now, came to her senses after being shouted at by her. Her face was twisted and ferocious. "B*tch, little b*tch, it's all because of you that I became like this!"
She pounced on Lucy like a devil and reached out to pinch her neck. "You b*tch! I'll strangle you to death. Go to hell!"
That bastard Nick robbed her of all her money. Every night, he even raped her, whipped her with a whip, and dripped her with a candle. He forced her and her to crawl on the ground with chains... She felt bitter in her heart, but she couldn't tell anyone. It was too embarrassing!
She should have married Arthur and lived the life of an immortal couple. It was all Lucy's fault for making her live such a miserable life!
Lucy's neck was pressed under her body, and his face was completely red. He struggled with all his might, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free. He wanted to cry for help, but he
couldn't make a single sound.
She looked at Lizbeth's resentful and distorted eyes. She didn't look like a normal person anymore. Lizbeth really dared to strangle her!
Everything in front of her began to blur, and her hands and feet became more and more useless. She felt that she was really going to die here today!
"Lucy!" As soon as Arthur entered the door, he saw a woman grab Lucy's neck. Meanwhile, Lucy was about to die. A wave of panic ran through his heart. He quickly rushed over, pushed aside the woman's hand, and tossed her onto the ground.
He hugged Lucy and patted her back gently. His heart was hanging high in his throat, and his voice was shaking. "Lucy, how are you feeling?"
"Cough, cough, cough..." Lucy laid in his embrace, coughing intensely. His face was flushed red.
Arthur's hands and feet were weak. He patted her back gently, and his heart beat fast like an out-of- control sports car.
Lucy coughed for a long time before coming to a stop. He breathed heavily, feeling as if he had just passed through a ghost gate.
It was not until this moment that she noticed that it was Arthur who had just saved her. She felt very complicated in her heart. "... Thank you."
Including this time, Arthur had saved her twice!
"I just don't want to see the dead at home." Arthur hid the worry in his eyes and helped her to the sofa with a poker face. Then he looked at the woman on the ground and asked, "Who are you?"
When he thought of how Lucy might very well have died if it wasn't for him, he felt as if he was going to suffocate.
He would never let this woman go!
