Forced to Marry the Sickly Billionaire
Chapter 137: Falling into the Water

Chapter 137: Chapter 137: Falling into the Water

Staring into those cold, indifferent eyes, Sylvia Lane felt a sudden stab in her heart.

She gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with hatred: "Serena Summers! You wait, I will never let you go!"

"Is that all you can say? I’m tired of hearing it even if you’re not tired of saying it," Serena Summers rubbed her ears, her eyes full of disdain.

"Serena Summers!"

"Shut up! You’re too noisy!"

Sylvia Lane was startled by Serena Summers’ sudden reprimand, standing stunned in place.

"Sylvia Lane, this is the Lawrence Family’s place, not a place for you to act wildly. You may have no shame, but the Shaw Family does, I advise you to behave yourself," Serena whispered warningly.

She coldly swept Sylvia Lane a glance, then turned and walked out of the hall.

In the courtyard of the Lawrence Family, there was a small lake, the breeze by the lake scattered the fragrance of flowers from the flower garden to this location.

Serena Summers slowly closed her eyes, quietly feeling everything around her.

If the banquet hall was bustling with guests mingling, then this place was a sanctuary.

It was so quiet that the only sounds were the wind through the leaves and the intermittent chirping of cicadas.

Suddenly, a sharp pain struck her chest, a bone-chilling cold seeped out from inside her body.

Serena Summers staggered slightly, quickly grabbing onto a tree trunk for support.

The intense pain hit like a violent storm, nearly drowning and engulfing Serena.

She clenched her dress tightly, biting down on her teeth to keep from crying out in pain.

Serena Summers, leaning against the tree, slowly squatted down, frantically searching for a Spring Elixir to eat.

The effect of the Spring Elixir was nearly negligible, Serena trembled as she took a silver needle from her pocket.

She had never administered acupuncture to herself before and suddenly felt nervous.

However, she had no other choice.

Edward Selwyn had not arrived yet, and besides herself, no one could help her.

Serena clinched her teeth hard, aimed the silver needle at her acupoint, her heart pounding to the extreme.

But before she could proceed, a commotion erupted not far away.

The voices of guests, once calm, suddenly became frantic and anxious.

Serena faintly heard the name Lucas Shaw.

She endured the pain from the poisoning and the piercing cold throughout her body, and suddenly stood up from the ground.

Before she could steady herself, suddenly a pair of hands violently pushed her from behind.

She had no time to react, her body fell straight into the lake.

The icy lake water enveloped Serena Summers’ entire body, mixing with the coldness of the poisoning.

Cold.

The bone-chilling cold almost engulfed Serena Summers completely.

Serena choked on several gulps of water, and the bag of silver needles dropped into the water during her struggle.

She frantically searched in the lake water.

Many people who heard the noise came over.

"What’s happened? I thought I just heard someone falling into the water!"

"Look, isn’t there someone in the water?"

"Hurry, save them, someone has fallen into the water!"

"The banquet was going so well, why has so much suddenly happened? I heard Mr. Lucas Shaw was poisoned, and now there’s this incident!"

Serena Summers suddenly emerged from the lake, incredulously asking, "What did you just say about Lucas Shaw?"

The people onshore were startled by Serena Summers, suddenly turning pale with shock.

"You, you..."

After stammering for a while, they couldn’t say a complete sentence.

Serena Summers trembled as she crawled out of the lake, her evening gown completely soaked, the thin fabric clinging to her body, outlining her curvaceous figure vividly.

Her hair was wet, water dripping from her tresses, looking very bedraggled.

However, it did not conceal her beauty in the slightest.

"What did you just say, what happened to Lucas Shaw?"

Serena Summers asked coldly.

The woman recognized Serena, snapped back to her senses, and pointed in the direction of the hall, "Mr. Lucas Shaw is poisoned, Old Master Lawrence is there right now!"

As soon as the voice fell, the person felt a chill breeze around her.

The person in front of her suddenly vanished.

She glanced sideways and saw Serena running towards the hall in a panic.

Her steps were unsteady yet filled with urgency.

Serena hurried into the hall, her heart in her throat.

She was still tightly clutching the package of silver needles.

These silver needles were specially made for her by Victor Bennett, a birthday present he gave her on her eighteenth birthday.

She had always cherished them these past two years.

Unexpectedly, today she fell into the lake and the silver needles also dropped in.

To retrieve the silver needles, she had stayed in the lake water for a long time.

Even now, having come out, her body still carried the cold chill of the lake water.

However, at this moment, Serena couldn’t care about anything else; her heart and eyes were filled only with thoughts of Lucas Shaw.

The hall of the Lawrence Family was now empty, many guests had been driven out, only a few members of the Lawrence Family were left guarding.

Two strong bodyguards were pressing down Lucas Shaw, who was on the verge of exploding, firmly on the sofa.

Lucas Shaw’s eyes were bloodshot, his teeth clenched tightly, as if he was enduring the pain.

His dark, deep eyes swirled with a storm, as if it might sweep over at any second.

Nobody dared to approach recklessly, only standing about ten meters away from Lucas Shaw.

Seeing this scene, Serena’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Her steps were rushed as she moved forward, her eyes filled with worry.

"Husband!"

Lucas Shaw, being heavily suppressed by two burly bodyguards, struggled fiercely with gritted teeth.

These two were evidently no match for Lucas Shaw.

Lucas Shaw lifted his foot and kicked one of them down to the ground.

With a slight exertion of his arms, he pressed that man down on the ground.

The hand that was usually well-articulated was now clenched tightly into a fist, swinging towards that man.

Everyone instinctively held their breath, their pupils suddenly constricting.

However, the expected bloody scene did not happen.

Just as Lucas Shaw’s fist was about to land on the face of the bodyguard, a crisp and pleasant voice suddenly came from outside the hall.

Everyone noticed that Lucas Shaw paused slightly when he heard the voice.

Taking advantage of his moment of stupor, the bodyguard forcefully flipped over, pinning Lucas Shaw down again.

However, Lucas Shaw’s rationality recovered only for a moment before being eroded again by the residual poison in his body.

Watching this scene, Serena’s eyes suddenly became somewhat sour.

She hurried toward Lucas Shaw.

However, halfway there, she was suddenly stopped by someone.

"Young Madam, Mr. Lucas Shaw does not recognize anyone now, it’s better for you not to go."

"Prepare the disinfectant tools for me, I need to administer the needles," Serena said in a low voice.

"What? Administering needles? This is no joke!" Mrs. Lawrence was the first to speak, her tone full of shock and astonishment.

It wasn’t that Mrs. Lawrence looked down on Serena, but Serena was too young.

Even though Old Master Lawrence had mentioned that Serena was a disciple of Victor Bennett, Mrs. Lawrence was still somewhat disbelieving.

A young girl, even if she truly had a medical gift, could she really compare to those highly respected seniors in the medical field?

Ridiculous!
