Chapter 197 Disturbance

Chapter 197: Chapter 197 Disturbance

"Do you know where we brothers found Serena? She was in a garbage can by the roadside. Barely alive, just hanging on to her last breath. Luckily, she was found by the master..."

Lucas Shaw listened quietly and seriously as Serena Summers spoke of the events that happened from when she was three until she reached the age of twenty.

The young Serena had been so well-behaved that it made one’s heart ache.

"When she first woke up, she was eager to work, and despite her petite size, she was very efficient. From childhood to adulthood, she never acted spoiled, except for the time she married you."

Lucas Shaw listened intently as he quickly drank down more than half of the bottle of liquor.

By the time Vincent Carter came to his senses, he discovered that only half of the bottle was left.

He quickly dodged the liquor bottle, hugged it in his arms, and watched Lucas Shaw warily.

"You can’t drink anymore. Wasn’t this prepared for me?"

Lucas Shaw raised his eyebrow helplessly, "Who said I got it for you? This is clearly for my own drinking."

Looking at Lucas Shaw’s indifferent expression, Vincent Carter was so annoyed that his teeth itched.

But, feeling helpless in the face of the other’s overpowering aura, even though Vincent had seen all sorts of people in the entertainment industry, he was still intimidated by Lucas’s cold and powerful presence.

He stood up straight, indignantly glaring at Lucas Shaw, "I am Serena’s family, you should be more polite to me, or else be careful I’ll speak ill of you in front of Serena."

Lucas Shaw scoffed, finished the last bit of wine in his cup, and glanced at him lightly, "Do you think my wife would believe you?"

Vincent Carter: "..."

Is it really good to flaunt your love publicly late at night? Can’t you consider the feelings of this old single guy?

Seeing that he couldn’t win against Lucas Shaw, Vincent Carter took out his trump card, grabbed the bottle and blew into it straight from the bottle.

Lucas Shaw raised an eyebrow and watched his actions quietly, without stopping him.

After Vincent Carter finished the bottle, Lucas slowly stood up, sorted out his slightly wrinkled suit, and walked towards the outside.

"It’s getting late. I should go."

"Wait a minute, you’re not fighting with me anymore?"

Lucas Shaw paused briefly, turned to look at him with a hint of confusion in his eyes, "Why should I fight with you?"

Vincent Carter locked eyes with Lucas Shaw, and suddenly realized he had been played.

"If you weren’t fighting with me, why didn’t you stop me just now? Such good liquor has been wasted by me."

"Why should I stop you?" Lucas Shaw’s expression was indifferent as his thin lips slowly curled into a smile, "Second senior brother, a favor received makes one subservient. I’ll be leaving now."

After Lucas Shaw left, Vincent Carter hugged the liquor bottle, his face full of distress,

Lucas Shaw, this cunning businessman, is truly a man worthy of contending with his senior! So ruthless!

If he remembered correctly, this bottle of liquor should be priced at around several hundred thousand.

Wouldn’t it have been better to savor it slowly?

He hadn’t even gotten a taste of it!

The next morning, Serena Summers opened her eyes and found herself being held in someone’s arms. Before her eyes was a sexy and muscular chest.

Serena looked up and saw that Lucas Shaw was still asleep, a sly glint passed through her eyes.

A fair slender finger slowly moved towards Lucas Shaw and finally landed on his well-defined abs.

His dense black eyelashes flinched slightly, and Lucas Shaw opened his eyes to catch the hand that was causing mischief on his body.

"What are you doing?"

Serena Summers blinked guiltily, "I didn’t do anything."

Lucas Shaw’s slender phoenix eyes stared at her for a while, then he hooked his arm around her waist and brought her into his embrace.

He flipped over, pinning her underneath him.

Serena Summers was startled by his sudden movement, gazing at the man’s sexy collarbone and abs, her eyes suddenly unsure where to rest, darting about.

"Like it so much? Then how about I let you touch to your heart’s content?" Lucas Shaw took Serena’s slender hand, laying it flat over the location of his heart.

There, it was scalding and searing, hot enough to melt Serena’s heart.

A blush slowly crept up her cheeks, like a perfectly ripened shrimp, lovely and enticing.

"Lucas Shaw, stop messing around, I need to get up and go to the hospital," she struggled, trying to break free from his clasp.

However, the man was too strong, and she couldn’t get away.

"Dean Carter said that you can go a bit later today, rest a bit longer, I’ve asked someone to bring breakfast in."

Serena’s eyes were full of confusion, "Aren’t there many patients today?"

"The treatments are largely done; the remaining few can be handled by the doctors in the hospital," Lucas Shaw relayed Dean Carter’s words to Serena.

Serena nodded in understanding, then asked, "Does that mean we’re going to the village today?"

"Yep."

After breakfast, Lucas Shaw escorted Serena Summers to the hospital and followed her inside.

The number of patients in the hospital had noticeably decreased, the line that once stretched to the hospital entrance was now only a few dozen people.

As Serena walked in, a relieved smile appeared on her lips.

But just as she entered the hospital building, a clamor could be heard from inside.

"Everyone come and see, this heartless hospital has killed someone! My husband just got medicine from the hospital yesterday, and at night he started vomiting and suffering from diarrhea!"

"The fever medication they hyped up on the internet, I bet it’s all fake!"

"Come on, everyone, help judge this, look at what my husband has become now, what am I supposed to do if something happens to him!"

...

Insults and noise erupted in the lobby, the patients who came for treatment all retreated two steps, fearing they might get implicated.

Their gazes involuntarily settled on the person in the middle of the crowd, the old man lying on the ground, his complexion dreadful.

The elderly man’s face was very pale, and he appeared weak and powerless, even his breathing was faint, clearly very ill.

Could it really be that there was something wrong with the medicine?

A hint of doubt sprang up in many people’s minds.

They came to the hospital for treatment, mostly because they heard it was free.

Moreover, they heard that the hospital had recently gotten a new batch of medicine which was very effective against fever and colds.

But now it seemed that things were not as they appeared.

The dean stood in the crowd, trying hard to calm the old lady who was stirring up trouble.

"Let’s talk this over calmly, are you here to cause trouble or to solve the problem?"

The old lady stood with hands on her hips in a fierce posture, "What do you mean causing trouble, which eye of yours saw me causing trouble? I’m just seeking justice for my husband, he started feeling uncomfortable after taking your medicine!"

The old lady was also dressed simply, looking lean and shrewd, even taking on the stance she’d use for quarreling on the village streets.

The dean, a man of learning, soon found himself overwhelmed.

Serena stood outside the crowd for a while, getting the gist of the matter, and immediately pushed through the crowd to enter.
