For the moment, he didn’t want to get up at all, or open his eyes. His whole body felt uncomfortable.

Lucas stood next to her and gently wiped the sweat from his forehead.

After taking the medicine, she felt dizzy from the side effects. He was so sleepy he couldn’t concentrate on one thing.

“Cold…”

In her dream, Michelle suddenly said this. Lucas turned on the air conditioning in the bedroom, but it was useless.

Michelle felt more uncomfortable and began to kick the duvet restlessly.

Lucas stopped her immediately. He was afraid she might hurt herself by accident.

Perhaps Lucas hadn’t expected the person with him at that moment to be him, not Scott.

“Michelle, wake up. Take this bowl of porridge. “

Stunned, Michelle was held in Lucas’s arms. He opened his eyes slightly, he just felt like he still wanted to sleep.

Lucas had no choice but to let her lean back in his arms, then started feeding her porridge.

Fortunately, Michelle still knew how to eat.

The porridge was finished after a few mouthfuls. Michelle really couldn’t eat anything. Lucas thought she had a fever, so he touched her forehead but couldn’t find anything wrong.

If I had a fever, I’d be fine after sweating it out. But it would take a while to treat a cold in the heat.

Michelle leaned weakly against Lucas’s chest. She didn’t know if it was dark outside. She just knew that she was very sleepy now. She wanted to say something but swallowed.

He found a sore throat, even when he swallowed.

It sounded like she was seriously ill this time.

“Sleep well. You’ll be all right tomorrow. “

Before he left, Lucas reminded her. He laid her gently on the bed and left after confirming that she was asleep.

To ensure her safety, Lucas slept in the living room. Even though her eyes were closed, she could hear the noise outside for the first time.

He had worked for her company for a long time, so it was impossible to be complacent.

That day, Michelle’s case went live. At first it was broadcast on the forum and on BBS, and eventually someone put the video on the internet. Lucas didn’t know who had taken the video, but he vowed not to let them go.

Obviously, Scott had also seen this news abroad. He bought the plane ticket that day.

When she came home, she found Lucas lying on the sofa asleep. His stomach was burning. He took a few steps forward, grabbed Lucas’s necklace and lifted him up.

“Scott, are you crazy?

The sleeping woman was soon woken by Scott. Lucas looked at the man holding her necklace as if he was going to fight.

“Why didn’t you protect her properly after I left? As he spoke, Scott’s fist had struck Lucas’s face.

Lucas admitted that it was his fault for not protecting Michelle. But he shouldn’t be the one to take full responsibility.

The reason Michelle turned out the way she did was all because of Scott.

Thinking about it, Lucas felt all his b***d vessels explode in an instant. He pulled Scott’s hand away and punched him in the face. This punch was much heavier than Scott’s previous one.

It was the energy that emerged from the anger and hatred built up in his heart over many years. This hit had too many meanings.

But he had endured great pain because of Michelle for so long.

At Lucas’s blow, Scott took a few steps back.

“Stop it!”

She roared with all her might. After waking from her sleep, Michelle heard the noise from the living room. He wanted to get out and see what was going on, but he didn’t expect the scene of two men fighting to repeat itself in his mind.

But Scott and Lucas had completely lost their minds and fought.

“Scott, do you still have Michelle face to face? Lucas said this and anger filled his eyes, “She’s so blind she’s falling for a man like you.”

Michelle ran and screamed hysterically again, “If you want to fight, get out. Don’t stay in my house! “

At that moment he didn’t know where he’d got the strength from to chase the two fighters away. But this time, he didn’t care about anyone.

Lucas gradually came to his senses. Watching Scott’s uncontrollable excitement in front of him, he felt a little happy.

Michelle was the two men’s common weakness. Thanks to her, a lot about both men had been suppressed.

“Salt!”

At the moment, Michelle didn’t want to see them at all. Her voice was weak and angry, which made both men very worried for her.

It was only then that Scott realised Michelle was ill.

He rushed over to her, grabbed her shoulder and asked, “Michelle, what’s wrong with you? Are you sick?”

By now Michelle’s nasal voice was very heavy. She felt that these medicines were not working at all. Her nose was full of anger and she felt dizzy.

She was so tired she didn’t want to talk about anything.

He picked her up without saying a word. Seeing this, Lucas rushed to stop.

“F**k you!” If it hadn’t been for Michelle in his arms, Scott would have been fighting that man again.

Lucas knew where he was going, so he didn’t stop him.

When they arrived at the hospital, there was only the doctor on duty. Scott was so angry that he asked them to call the dean directly.

Because of his identity, the doctors didn’t dare disobey him.

Shortly after the Dean’s arrival, he first examined Michelle, then politely said to Scott: “Mr Scott, Miss. Michelle has caught a cold due to the excessive heat toxin in her body. I’m going to ask the nurse to infuse it and take some medicine. She’ll be fine in a few days. “

After the Dean had finished his words, he left. He rushed off as soon as he heard the news. As Dean, he couldn’t afford to offend someone as great as Scott.

Lying on the bed, Michelle turned her head to look out of the window. If it hadn’t been for Scott, she wouldn’t have ended up like this. She hated him so much. Why couldn’t he tell the truth then?

She wasn’t a lover. She wasn’t

“Michelle, don’t cry. It’s not worth it for a man like that. ” Lucas said worriedly, holding Michelle’s cold hands.

For love, women could take the thorns out of their bodies; they could run forward no matter what, even if they knew there was a cliff ahead.

During this time, Lucas had always thought she could live a happy life with Scott. He didn’t come to bother them because he was afraid she would be angry.

However, Scott hurt her again and again.

“Michelle, can you put it down? Come to me, I’ll be nice to you for the rest of my life. ” If Michelle agreed, she vowed to go back to all that and take him away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

At that moment, Michelle hesitated. She didn’t know what to do in the future. She was afraid of falling, so she needed someone to help her.

The idea of leaving stayed in the back of her mind all the time. She wanted to leave, but what could she do after she left?

He found that wherever he was in the world, there was a figure of Scott in his dream, because they had lived too long.

Scott returned with the doctor’s prescription and a plate of porridge.

The doctor said Michelle couldn’t eat spicy food recently, so she went to buy some porridge. However, after opening the door, Michelle lay motionless on the bed. He knew she was asleep.

Lucas came out of the bathroom with a damp towel in his hand. He had just cleaned Michelle’s face.

The two men’s four eyes met, but said nothing.

“It’s your responsibility to make sure Michelle is like this. If it wasn’t for Michelle, Scott, I would have killed you. “

Since Michelle had fallen asleep, Lucas wasn’t worried about her hearing those words. In fact, it would be better if she listened to them, so he wouldn’t have to explain himself in the future.

“Humph, I, Scott, always dare to take responsibility. If you want to kill me, I’ll never back down. “Sitting on the sofa, Scott warned Lucas in the same cold tone.

All the time, he felt the man next to him looking at him with complicated eyes, as if he had a deep hatred. Earlier, Scott had sent someone to investigate the information about Lucas, but had been unable to get any leads.

It was as if Lucas wanted to block out his identity on purpose and prevent others from finding out.

This man seemed to have an excellent relationship with the Jiang group.

But what was it?

Perhaps because of the infusion, Michelle had fallen asleep for no reason and hadn’t remembered what had happened last night.

He looked out of the window with his face sideways through the thin curtain. Michelle wasn’t actually looking at anything, but was immersed in her own world.

“Michelle, are you awake? What do you want to eat? “It was Lucas who came in. Michelle could hear his voice.

She closed her eyes again. It was as if he’d seen Scott come back. When he opened his eyes again, he found it was still bright outside.

“Michelle, are you all right? When she didn’t say anything, Lucas thought the infusion wasn’t working and got nervous.

“I don’t want to eat anything.” He covered himself with the duvet. At the moment, she really had no appetite.

It was normal for her not to want anything to eat when she was ill, but Michelle even refused to drink water. Lucas knew that she missed Scott, so she asked Scott to look in on her this afternoon.

When Scott arrived, he bought her favourite noodles from a roadside stand. Although she didn’t know what it tasted like, the sour taste made it easy to whet her appetite.
