Forced to Marry the Sickly Billionaire
Chapter 146 Is It Worth It?

Chapter 146: Chapter 146 Is It Worth It?

Elena Ryan supported Sylvia Lane, patting her shoulder worriedly as she asked, "Sylvia, are you alright?"

Sylvia Lane’s legs went weak as she felt an immense relief the moment of her rescue.

She couldn’t muster any strength and could only lean most of her body weight on Elena Ryan.

Hearing Elena’s question, she glanced at Liam Shaw with panic, quickly averted her gaze, and said, "I, I’m fine auntie. Let me take you back to your room first."

"Are you really alright? Do you need me to call the family doctor?" Elena Ryan was still not reassured, as Sylvia Lane’s complexion was terribly pale without a trace of color and did not look like she was fine at all.

"No need."

Sylvia Lane shrugged off Elena Ryan’s arm and walked hurriedly in the direction of her room, her steps desperate and rushed, as if she was fleeing disaster.

"Sylvia, wait for me. That girl..." Elena Ryan hurriedly followed them.

Looking at their departing figures, Liam Shaw slowly closed his eyes.

Unnoticed by anyone, his hand by his side was still trembling slightly.

It had been a long time since he’d been physically violent with anyone. It was inevitable that he felt a bit rusty, and for a moment during the heightened emotions, he really did want to kill Sylvia Lane.

But to dirty his own hands for such a person, it wasn’t worth it.

Three days later.

Lucas Shaw finally awoke.

Worried that something unexpected might happen to Lucas Shaw, Liam Shaw had canceled all his work and stayed by the bedside without leaving.

Lucas Shaw slowly opened his eyes, his head that had been dizzy for a long time finally began to clear, and he felt an unprecedented lightness in his body, as if he had been reborn.

He took a deep breath and struggled to sit up from the bed.

Maybe it was because he had been lying down too long, his body felt a bit weak and he almost fell back.

At that moment, Liam Shaw, who had been dozing off with his arms propped up by the bedside, suddenly snapped back into consciousness and exclaimed with joy, "Lucas, you have finally woken up!"

"Master, you’ve finally woken up, I was so worried," Brandon Reese’s eyes tinged slightly red, his face full of excitement.

Lucas Shaw gently coughed a few times, a sickly pallor still on his handsome face, his voice carrying an indescribable weakness, "Serena?"

Liam Shaw and Brandon Reese exchanged glances, their expressions suddenly stiffened.

Liam Shaw swallowed, pondered for a moment, and slowly said, "Lucas, don’t get agitated, listen to your brother..."

Lucas Shaw sensed something was off, his eyebrows furrowing deeply, "What happened? Where did Serena go?"

Liam Shaw pressed his lips together, looked down, and stayed silent.

There was a look of desolation and guilt written all over that deep and handsome face.

Brandon Reese also found it difficult to meet Lucas Shaw’s gaze and did not know how to respond for a moment.

"Brandon Reese, tell me the truth, where did madam go? Did something happen to madam? Also, how long have I been unconscious?"

"Master, madam she..." Brandon Reese stammered, truly at a loss for words.

"Lucas, Edward Selwyn is Serena’s senior apprentice; did you know about that?" Liam Shaw suddenly asked.

Lucas Shaw pondered for a moment, then slowly nodded, "I knew they were close, but I wasn’t clear on the specifics."

Now, however, he understood.

No wonder, after that banquet, Edward Selwyn rushed over suddenly, saying his Serena bore a striking resemblance to someone from his past.

So there was such a connection between them.

Liam Shaw looked at his brother’s pale face and suddenly felt a bit heartbroken.

But there were things he had to tell Lucas Shaw.

"Lucas, listen to me, there’s something you might not know... Serena was with you during the kidnapping, so she has the same poison in her body as you."

Lucas Shaw’s upturned mouth corners suddenly froze as his mind blanked in an instant, "What, what do you mean?"

Liam Shaw sighed deeply and explained, "I didn’t expect this either. Serena is The Divine Healer Victor Bennett’s apprentice, so I never thought the poison in her body was never really gone. Those medicines... were actually what Edward Selwyn gave to Serena to..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Lucas Shaw had flung aside the covers and swung his legs off the bed.

Liam Shaw’s eyelids twitched fiercely, and he immediately reached out to stop him, "What are you doing?"

"I need to find Serena."

Liam Shaw helplessly said, "Even if you go now, Edward Selwyn may not be willing to let you see her."

Lucas Shaw’s expression grew heavy, veins on his temples bulging fiercely, "Brother, are you saying Serena was taken away by Edward Selwyn?"

"Yes. Edward Selwyn said he hopes there will be no further contact with the Shaw Family from now on." Liam Shaw’s brows furrowed tightly, worry filling his eyes as he looked at Lucas Shaw.

Lucas Shaw was about to get out of bed, but upon hearing this, his body suddenly felt weak, nearly tumbling off the bed.

"The poison in my body is resolved?" Lucas Shaw gripped Liam Shaw’s sleeve tightly, asking urgently.

Liam Shaw hesitated for a moment, then lightly nodded his head. Such a big matter could not be hidden, even if he wanted to.

Lucas Shaw slowly curled up, covering his face with his hands, his deep eyes filled with bloodshot lines.

"Why is she so foolish..."

Serena.

Why so foolish?

No wonder the Shaw Family came asking for the medicine time and time again, but Edward Selwyn refused to give in.

It turns out the medicine could have been used to save Serena’s life.

But now, she had used all those medicinal ingredients on him.

Why is she so foolish?

Was it worth it?

For him, a doomed soul not long for this world.

Liam Shaw sighed helplessly, lamenting, "I finally understand why Edward Selwyn refused to sell those herbs to us, because they were prepared for Serena."

Lucas Shaw’s body staggered, falling back onto the bed.

He stared blankly, not responding for a long time.

Liam Shaw, worried about his reaction at this moment, nervously comforted him, "Lucas, calm down first, perhaps things are not as serious as they seem. Serena has always been prudent in her actions; she wouldn’t be so impulsive."

"Calm down? How do you expect me to calm down?"

Lucas Shaw’s eyes were blood-red, his gaze filled with bloodshot lines, gritting his teeth tightly.

Liam Shaw, seeing him like this, for a moment did not know how to comfort him.

Brandon Reese also hung his head low, silent.

He couldn’t believe that his wife had concealed such a big matter from him.

It was all his fault.

If only he had asked more questions at the beginning, perhaps he could have stopped his wife.

But...

Brandon Reese’s hands, hanging by his side, slowly clenched into fists, biting his teeth hard.

Even knowing the truth, he couldn’t guarantee he would have stopped her.

Because he couldn’t just stand by and watch Lucas Shaw die.

Lucas Shaw had shown him kindness.

If it weren’t for Lucas Shaw, he wouldn’t be alive today.

Knowing this made Brandon Reese feel even more guilty.

Just then, a series of footsteps came from outside the door.

Liam Shaw and Brandon Reese turned to look, seeing Professor Parker walk in carrying a medicine box.

With a solemn face, he placed the medicine box on the table nearby, asking with concern, "I heard that the Second Master got poisoned again?"

Liam Shaw nodded, immediately saying, "Professor Parker, please take a look at Lucas right away, see if there is any residual poison in his body?"

"Residual poison?" Professor Parker was stunned for a moment, then quickly returned to normal.

The brief moment of astonishment lasted only half a second, and no one noticed it.
