Chapter 122: Chapter 122 Out of Control

Serena Summers was instantly amused, "Who brags about themselves like that?"

"I just do."

Lucas Shaw stretched out his long arm and pulled Serena into his embrace.

His cool palm tightly grasped her slender, soft waist, while his deep, dark eyes were filled with pleasure.

Serena, unguarded, suddenly collided with the man’s sturdy, broad chest.

She rubbed her slightly aching nose, glaring fiercely at Lucas Shaw with her glistening eyes.

"Be gentle, you’ve hurt me again."

Lucas Shaw’s gaze dropped.

Meeting Serena’s eyes brimming with tears, he felt his heart completely filled.

He caressed her nose gently and whispered soothingly, "My bad, I’ll be more careful next time."

The man’s voice was deep and cool, exuding an indescribable sexy magnetism.

He deliberately moved closer to Serena’s ear while speaking, the warm breath sprayed on the sensitive skin behind her ear, causing waves of tingles.

Serena couldn’t help but shiver, her face instantly flushing red.

Lucas Shaw looked at the girl, with her face full of charming naivety, and felt a wave of tenderness in his heart.

He bent down, scooped Serena into his arms in one swift motion, and strode towards the bed.

When Serena looked up, she met the man’s exquisite jawline.

Her heartbeat began to accelerate uncontrollably.

The man’s kiss came like a storm, carrying a strong and oppressive aura with it.

Serena wrapped her slender arms around the man’s neck, beginning to respond slowly.

Feeling Serena’s movements, Lucas Shaw’s body tensed slightly, then he kissed her even deeper.

At first, Serena had the strength to respond, until she could only passively endure.

An indescribable sweetness spread from her heart, slowly filling her limbs.

In a daze, Serena suddenly felt a chill on her body.

The sound of fabric tearing entered her ears, and her face turned red at once.

Lucas Shaw’s lips slowly moved downward, landing on her delicate and beautiful collarbone.

Heavy breathing echoed in her ears, leaving Serena somewhat at a loss.

Just when Serena thought Lucas Shaw would take the next step, his movements suddenly ceased.

Making eye contact with Serena’s bewildered eyes, Lucas Shaw instantly sobered up.

He muttered an apology and then turned to go to the bathroom.

Serena scratched her head in confusion, unsure of what had just happened.

In the bathroom, Lucas Shaw turned on the faucet to wash his face.

The cold water splashed on his face, gradually easing some of the heat within his body.

Looking at his reflection, a deep shadow flickered across the depths of Lucas Shaw’s eyes.

He had just lost control.

The poison in his body had not yet been cured.

Until an antidote was found, Lucas Shaw did not dare to take risks, nor did he want Serena to suffer the slightest grievance.

If he were to die in the future, Serena could still find someone to remarry.

His biggest worry was whether the poison in his body would be passed on to their child if Serena became pregnant.

Just like him.

For decades, living with the torment of illness, struggling every day in the dark abyss.

Waiting for death to come.

He couldn’t take that gamble.

So he couldn’t afford to be impulsive.

Lucas Shaw slowly closed his eyes, a vein throbbing fiercely on his temple.

But before long, the heat inside him surged up again.

Every time he closed his eyes, that pale, tender skin would appear before him.

The girl’s clear, shimmering eyes stared straight at him, brimming with undisguised joy and excitement.

Her lips were slightly pouted, like freshly ripened cherries, silently tempting one to pluck them with their alluring luster.

Lucas Shaw felt like he was about to go mad.

He stood under the shower, the cold water cascading down from above his head.

His dark, deep-set eyes were filled with desire.

He glanced at the water in his palm and let out a helpless chuckle.

Having a lovely wife at home, yet only being able to look and not touch, was truly torture.

At that moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Serena Summers asked anxiously, "Honey, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Lucas Shaw was startled by the girl’s crisp voice, and suddenly he felt a slickness in his hand.

His ears gradually turned red, and he hurriedly dried himself with a towel before stepping out.

Serena Summers stood anxiously at the bathroom door.

Then, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Lucas Shaw’s tall figure emerged.

Because he had just taken a shower, his body was slightly damp.

Drops of water that weren’t wiped away dripped down his hair, seeping into his robe.

At this moment, he exuded an indescribable sex appeal.

Serena Summers’s eyes lit up instantly, and she dashed forward to hug him.

"Honey, you finally came out! If you didn’t, I was just about to go downstairs to ask the butler for a spare key."

She glared at Lucas Shaw coquettishly.

Lucas Shaw sighed helplessly and said in a raspy voice, "I’m fine, I just suddenly wanted to take a shower."

Because he felt guilty, Lucas Shaw’s gaze was evasive, and he didn’t dare meet Serena Summers’s clear eyes.

Serena Summers hadn’t noticed anything odd and pulled his hand towards the bed.

Lucas Shaw let her lead him, a faintly troubled light flickering in his deep-set eyes.

"I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?" Serena Summers’s lips curled with a mysterious smile.

Lucas Shaw thought for a moment, then said, "The good news."

Serena Summers handed over a folder and cleared her throat, "I’ve made a breakthrough with the antidote."

"Really?" Lucas Shaw felt a surge of elation at the bottom of his heart, and a rare smile appeared on his usually expressionless face.

But soon he calmed down.

"What’s the bad news?"

Serena Summers hesitated for a moment before saying, "The bad news is, to completely get rid of the poison in your body, we still need a few rare ingredients."

These rare ingredients were precious and hard to come by; collecting them all could take years.

Lucas Shaw composed himself and asked, "The ingredients you mentioned, are they the ones that Edward Selwyn has?"

Serena Summers nodded slightly, guiltily lowering her gaze.

She hadn’t dared mention this the last time she met with Edward.

The moment she brought it up, Edward would surely guess her intentions.

She didn’t dare take the risk.

In the next second, a warm palm gently rested on top of her head, softly massaging.

"Don’t worry, we will find a solution," Lucas Shaw’s deep voice resounded with a comforting tone.

Serena Summers parted her lips, wanting to say something.

But in the end, she didn’t speak.

"Alright, stop worrying about it, I’ll figure something out," Lucas Shaw whispered soothingly.

Serena Summers hummed agreeably with a buzz in her voice and decided not to think about it anymore.

The next day, when Serena Summers woke up, it was already noon.

The sample research was finished, so she didn’t have to go to the lab every day.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes and sat on the bed for a while when there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Serena, may I come in?"
