Forced to Marry the Sickly Billionaire-Chapter 26 - Whose Vinegar Jar Has Spilled

Just as Lucas’s thoughts were drifting, a deep voice suddenly came from behind him.

At this moment, Serena realized there was a third person in the room.

Serena’s gaze fell on Liam Shaw, and her face instantly flushed.

She pulled the blanket over, hiding her face.

Had her coquettish behavior towards Lucas just been seen by someone else?

Seeing Serena hide under the blanket, Liam couldn’t help but find it amusing.

He cleared his throat, pretending not to notice Serena’s shy behavior, and said to Lucas, “Your poison outbreaks are always unpredictable, having Serena by your side all the time is best.”

As soon as the words left his mouth, he felt a chilling aura.

Looking up, he saw Lucas’s eyes slightly squinted, a coldness in his gaze as if to say, “Why haven’t you left yet?”

“Serena?

Is that what you call her?” Lucas’s tone was icy cold, filled with a warning.

Liam was momentarily stunned, then couldn’t help but laugh out.

Apparently, his silly younger brother hadn’t realized just how jealous his tone was.

Full of possessiveness and jealousy.

He chuckled lowly, waving his hand in the air, teasingly said, “Whose vinegar jar has been overturned?

Why is there such a sour smell in the room?”

Lucas narrowed his eyes fiercely, glaring hard at Liam.

Liam laughed, picked up the medicine box nearby, and under Lucas’s deadly gaze, turned to leave.

“Fine fine fine, I’ll leave.

I won’t disturb the sweet moments of you lovebirds.”

As he reached the door, Liam paused slightly, lowering his voice to Lucas, “Your sister-in-law is frail, avoid any intense activities these next few days.

Take it easy.”

Lucas looked puzzled, not understanding the implication of Liam’s words.

But he still nodded, indicating he got the message.

Seeing him nod, a profound smile appeared on Liam’s handsome face, proud as if the baby cabbage he had been raising had finally grown up.

After Liam left, the room returned to silence.

Serena lay in bed, peeking her little head out of the blanket again, her clear eyes unblinkingly staring at Lucas.

“How is your body feeling?

Does your chest still hurt?”

Although she had taken his pulse, Serena was still worried.

After all, the poison in Lucas’s body was severe, having infiltrated his organs, with a looming trend of further spread.

If it weren’t for meeting Serena, Lucas Shaw wouldn’t have survived past three months.

Serena used silver needles to suppress the spread of the toxins, but completely eradicating them wouldn’t be an easy task.

She looked at Lucas with concern, feeling increasingly saddened at heart.

During her days living in the Shaw family, Serena had been observing the Shaw family members.

She was shocked to discover that besides Master Shaw and Liam Shaw, no one in the family truly cared about Lucas’s wellbeing.

Even Lucas’s biological mother, when hearing the news of her son’s poisoning, showed no emotion whatsoever.

It was as if Lucas Shaw was not her biological son, but a stranger.

The expression on Elena Ryan’s face as she stood outside the door was deeply etched in Serena Summers’ mind.

Cold, indifferent, mixed with a hint of schadenfreude and excitement.

As if she couldn’t wait for Lucas Shaw to die.

Serena Summers closed her eyes in pain, her heart starting to throb intensely.

Seeing this, Lucas Shaw thought she was feeling unwell and quickly asked with concern, “What’s wrong?

Where do you feel uncomfortable?

Should I call my brother back?”

Serena shook her head, her pale face devoid of any color.

She looked up, blinking her eyes that shimmered like black gems, and gazed deeply at Lucas Shaw.

Under his worried look, she wrapped her arms around his neck, burying her cheek deep into the nook of his shoulder, gently rubbing against it.

“Husband, I will definitely cure you!”

“I will make sure you live a long life, take you to see all the splendor in the world, experience the most beautiful things…”

Lucas Shaw was suddenly embraced tightly, his back stiffening for a moment.

Hearing Serena’s words, he couldn’t help but feel a bit amused.

He had seen many women scheming and going to great lengths to please him.

He had also heard many people say they didn’t mind his physical weakness, as long as they could be with him they were willing to give up everything…

But Lucas Shaw only felt disgusted and repulsed.

Because he knew that those people liked not him as a person, but the Shaw Family behind him.

Mr.

Lucas Shaw, even though physically frail, still controlled the entire economic lifeline of the Shaw Family.

Marrying Mr.

Lucas Shaw was tantamount to possessing the entire Shaw Family.

This is something known by everyone in S city.

Thus, every year many people tried to please him by sending women to his bed.

And many women tried to get close to him one after another.

Lucas Shaw once thought that all women in the world were either selfish and foolish like Elena Ryan or greedy like those women.

But after meeting Serena Summers, he felt that Serena was different from them.

She had a clean and clear aura about her.

She was delicate, naive, and did not hide her emotions, but… every word she said made Lucas Shaw’s heart flutter.

Every kiss made the tip of Lucas’s heart quiver uncontrollably.

Her affection was sincere and fervent, devoid of any greedy desires, without any pretense.

Open and direct, and yet unexpected.

Lucas Shaw lowered his eyelashes, his arms by his side slowly lifted, hesitated for a long time, and finally placed his palm on the back of the girl in his arms.

His strong arms slowly tightened, as if to lock her firmly in his embrace.

“Serena.”

This was the first time Lucas Shaw seriously called her name, “Don’t be so good to me, you’ll regret it.”

In his twenty-fourth year, a ray of light shone into his dark world.

Even though he knew it was out of reach, he still couldn’t help wanting to get closer, wanting to hold it tightly in his hands.

He might never be able to let go of Serena Summers again.

Unless he died.

No, not even in death.

Serena’s cherry-like lips pouted slightly, discontentedly saying, “Husband, you’re holding me too tight, I can barely breathe.”

Upon hearing this, the dark thoughts spreading wildly in Lucas Shaw’s mind suddenly paused.
