Forced to Marry the Sickly Billionaire-Chapter 21 - The Second Master is poisoned!

The old Shaw Family atmosphere was too lifeless.

With Serena, the entire Shaw Family seemed more vivacious.

Even the people from the second branch treated Serena a bit more gently.

Heaven knows how much they felt oppressed dining with Elena Ryan over the years.

Elena Ryan prided herself on her ancestral royal lineage, hence adhered to many feudal norms.

Rules like “No talking while eating or sleeping,” “Respect for the old and young,” and “No loud disturbances” were all formed in the Shaw family to accommodate Elena.

This was also one of the reasons why Evelyn Hart disliked Elena.

However, since Serena arrived, not only did the Shaw Family gain more vitality, but these rules were also broken.

Evelyn Hart couldn’t help feeling delighted thinking about Elena’s miserably green face, and her malice towards Serena decreased by a lot.

Seeing Lucas’s tense expression and the cold manner in which he put down his chopsticks, everyone at the table subconsciously thought Lucas was angry.

Clara, who was engrossed in eating, suddenly felt a thrill at the sight.

Is he going to lose his temper?

Was their second cousin finally unable to tolerate Serena’s antics and going to lash out?

She must share this exciting news with Sister Lane!

Better yet, strangle this scheming little wretch!

However, in the next second, everyone’s mouth dropped in shock.

The expected outburst and scolding did not occur.

Lucas narrowed his eyes at Serena and then picked up a piece of fish, carefully removed the bone, and placed it in Serena’s bowl.

His deep voice carried a hint of indulgence, “So delicate.”

Serena looked at the fish in her bowl, her exquisitely picturesque eyebrows slightly curved up, her white little face revealing adorable little fangs, radiantly charming.

All indescribably sweet.

“Thank you, hubby, muah~”

Lucas didn’t know what ‘muah’ meant, but seeing Serena’s happy expression, the usually tranquil emotions in his heart also gradually harbored indescribable joy.

He still wore a cold expression, but his tone was much gentler, “Eat up.”

Everyone at the table stared blankly at Lucas, seemingly unable to react.

Was this the Lucas they knew?

Was this the same moody and cold Lucas, who never cared about the lives of others?

Lucas noticed the varying expressions around him and slowly lifted his gaze sweeping it over them.

His dark pupils seemed as deep as a cold, icy pond, like a hawk locking onto its prey, carrying both a famous sharpness and chill.

It was still the Lucas they knew all too well.

It wasn’t until this moment that they were sure.

Lucas was still the same Lucas as before.

It was only in his interactions with Serena that his dark eyes showed additional emotions.

For a moment, the Shaw family looked at Serena Summers, indulging in her meal, with a complexity in their eyes.

Especially Clara Shaw.

Watching the tender and doting look Lucas Shaw had for Serena, Clara Shaw gritted her teeth in secret, filled with unwillingness and jealousy.

Her second cousin had never been so gentle with her!

What made Serena deserve this!

At night, Master Shaw called Serena to his study.

Mr.

White returned, looking haggard with disappointment written all over his elderly face.

“Young Madam, I am useless, I couldn’t bring back those medicines.”

“Master…

Didn’t Horizon Group agree to sell them?”

Serena blinked her clear eyes, seemingly having anticipated this outcome.

Master Shaw and Mr.

White exchanged a look, anxiously said, “Mr.

Selwyn from Horizon Group said these medicines were prepared for his sister, and he absolutely refused to sell them.

Serena, can you think of any other solution?”

Serena remained silent, not saying a word.

All three of her elder martial brothers were orphans, only she was a martial sister, where would he get a sister from?

Thus, her elder martial brother collected these medicines for her.

For a moment, Serena didn’t know whether to feel more touched or sadder.

She missed her eldest martial brother, but she was more reluctant to part with Lucas Shaw.

Just then, the door was suddenly knocked.

The knocking was urgent and rushed.

“Master, it’s terrible!”

The servant looked anxiously, “Master, the second master, his poisoning has acted up!”

Serena’s pupils suddenly constricted, and she hurriedly rushed out.

As soon as she stepped out of the study, she saw the second floor crowded with people.

The servants stood in the corridor in a panic, whispering something.

From inside the room, there came the sound of vases shattering.

Along with a faint sound of someone groaning in pain.

Serena wanted to enter, but she was stopped by a pair of hands.

Elena Ryan frowned and scolded in a low voice, “He’s like a madman right now, not recognizing anyone and acting recklessly.

You wouldn’t even know how you’d die if you went in now!”

Serena paused in her steps, turned back sharply and glared at Elena Ryan, “If you’re scared, just stay far away.

Don’t obstruct me from saving someone.”

Hearing this, Elena Ryan felt a surge of anger rise within her.

She looked at Serena with deep disdain and mockery in her eyes.

“Heh, do you think bringing a few bottles of medicine can prove your medical skills?

Even a medical expert as esteemed as Professor Parker can’t cure Lucas’s poison, what chaos can a little girl like you cause?”

“Have you said enough?

If so, shut your mouth!” Serena’s eyes narrowed slightly, and she took a step closer to Elena Ryan.

The previously docile-looking maid suddenly became sharp and cold.

Her eyes were ice-cold, looking at Elena Ryan as if she were looking at something dead.

Elena Ryan was taken aback by fright, stepping back in horror.

Only when she recovered did she realize that she had been scared by Serena’s gaze.

Her face turned pale, but she stubbornly glared at Serena, “Am I not telling the truth?

No one has seen your medical skills; can you take responsibility if something happens to Lucas?”

The surrounding servants nodded and echoed upon hearing this.

“Indeed, even an expert like Professor Parker is helpless, Young Madam, you shouldn’t cause more trouble!”

“If something happens to the second master, how sad Master Shaw would be!”

“Young Madam, let’s just wait for Professor Parker!”
