Forced to Marry the Sickly Billionaire
Chapter 271: Two Boxes Seem Not Enough

Chapter 271: Chapter 271: Two Boxes Seem Not Enough

"It’s okay now, Grandpa, I’m back." Serena Summers tightly held Old Master Lane’s hand, her eyes slightly blurry.

It’s nice to feel valued by family indeed...

Not all relatives are like Henry Summers and Jeanette Lane.

Grandpa and two uncles are good to her, and that’s enough.

"Good child, it’s good you’re back, good you’re back!"

Watching the warm exchange between the two, Justin Lane and Julian Lane, who just came back, exchanged a smile, their eyes filled with relief.

Serena placed her fingertips on Old Master Lane’s pulse to check, and slowly sighed in relief.

"Grandpa, you are still weak. No matter what happens, you can’t get angry anymore."

It’s fortunate that medical care was provided in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

Old Master Lane sighed, his face turning gloomy, "Is Jeanette still in the Imperial Capital?"

Upon hearing this, Julian instantly said, "Dad, why do you still care about her? Have you forgotten what she did to you?"

Jeanette, the ungrateful wretch, is simply detestable!

If he had any remaining sympathy for Jeanette before, now it has turned into resentment.

He could never imagine his own sister to be such a person!

Old Master Lane slowly shook his head, his expression cold, "Justin, have someone go to City S and investigate Henry Summers. Henry has ambitious intents, and over these years, he must have been unsavory."

Justin Lane briefly pondered and then instantly understood Old Master Lane’s intention.

It seems Henry might have kept a mistress outside.

Such a scheming person wouldn’t leave himself without a backup plan.

Probably only Jeanette truly believes in Henry’s absolute loyalty.

"Alright, I will investigate immediately."

Justin Lane whispered a few instructions to Julian Lane and then left the ward.

Lucas Shaw had been silently sitting on the sofa, his gaze never leaving Serena.

Old Master Lane slowly turned his gaze towards him, his eyes scrutinizing.

Frankly speaking, Lucas Shaw, from every aspect, counts as top-notch.

Not only does he have a robust family and prestigious background, but he is also exceptionally talented, managing the Shaw Group and improving the Shaw Family’s standing at such a young age.

Moreover, Justin Lane had already shown him the agreement.

Indeed, the young man is ambitious.

Most importantly, he’s calm and sincere toward Serena.

No matter how people change, eyes are the windows that never lie.

Old Master Lane, having dominated the business world for many years, still has the knack for judging character.

"Lucas, come over here."

Old Master Lane beckoned Lucas Shaw.

Lucas, slightly startled, then stood up and walked to the bedside, "Old Master?"

"I heard Serena married into your family to ward off bad luck? That’s not a good title."

Lucas Shaw, with a calm demeanor, earnestly explained, "The Shaw family has never considered Serena as anything but my wife, Lucas Shaw’s wife, for life."

Old Master Lane asked again, "Nice words are easy to say, but who knows if it’s the same behind the scenes? I, an old man, don’t have many years left, and I hope my descendants find a good place to belong."

"Of course." Lucas Shaw placed his hand on Serena’s shoulder, his deep eyes full of sincerity, "Grandpa, I will treat Serena well, please believe me."

Lucas Shaw knew that the Lane Family would definitely oppose this marriage, just did not expect it to come so suddenly.

Old Master Lane spoke quite tactfully, but Lucas could hear the protection and affection he had for Serena.

Before Old Master Lane spoke further, Lucas Shaw said emphatically: "Everything that belongs to Serena, whether it’s the wedding or the dowry, nothing will be missed. I have already arranged for someone to tailor the wedding dress, and soon, you will see us get married."

Serena Summers looked at him with surprise, a wedding dress? Getting married? When did this happen? How come she had no idea?

Facing her bewildered gaze, Lucas Shaw chuckled lightly and whispered in her ear, "I’ll explain it to you later."

"Serena, what do you think? Are you satisfied with this marriage?"

Old Master Lane turned his gaze towards Serena.

He had previously asked Justin Lane to investigate Lucas Shaw and found that apart from the rumor that he wouldn’t live past twenty-five, there really was nothing particularly bad about him.

It was said that he had already cured the poison in his body.

In truth, his and Justin Lane’s thoughts were the same; they were Serena’s relatives, but they hadn’t watched her grow up from a young age and had never really provided anything for her,

So, they had no right to meddle too much in her marriage matters.

As long as the other person’s character was satisfactory and he wasn’t shameless and despicable like Henry Summers, they could accept everything else.

Lucas Shaw was undoubtedly the best choice.

Lucas Shaw also set his gaze on her, waiting for her response.

Serena lifted her head, looking back at him.

Under everyone’s expectant eyes, Serena nodded vigorously, "Satisfied."

Old Master Lane couldn’t help but laugh out loud, and Julian Lane joined in.

"The girl has no airs about her, not knowing how to be reserved," teased Julian Lane.

Serena, however, didn’t mind, and grabbed Lucas Shaw’s hand firmly, saying, "I’m already married, no worries about finding someone else, why bother about appearances. Besides, if I’m not thick-skinned, my husband would have run away!"

Serena recalled the first day she met Lucas Shaw, if she hadn’t brazenly hitched a ride, how could the two of them have gotten their marriage certificate so quickly?

So, being thick-skinned wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.

Lucas Shaw gripped Serena’s hand back, also recalling the scene from that day.

Back then, he hadn’t recognized Serena.

She had asked him, "Are you my husband?"

At that moment, he was completely flabbergasted, almost thinking he had encountered a scam.

Luckily, he hadn’t coldly walked away.

So, everything was destined.

Their fate started long ago.

Heaven let them reunite after seventeen years, and from that moment on, Lucas Shaw never wanted to let go of her hand again.

"Good! Well said!" Watching the interaction between the two, Old Master Lane was in a great mood.

A smile graced his lips.

After leaving the hospital, they went to a supermarket.

Today, they were going to see their new home.

To be exact, a house they had just bought.

The villa was fully furnished when it was first opened for sale and was ready to move in.

She and Lucas Shaw were going to stay in Imperial Capital for a while and would also come to live here permanently in the future.

On the way home, Lucas Shaw stopped the car at a supermarket.

The two of them wandered around for most of the day, buying a lot of stuff, including snacks, vegetables, fruits, meats, and some daily necessities.

At the checkout, Serena focused on packing the bags.

Lucas Shaw’s gaze inadvertently swept over to a small box on the shelf, his eyes pausing for a moment.

His fingers, distinct in their knuckles, gently pinched and took two small boxes from the shelf, "Add these two as well."

After a moment of thought, Lucas Shaw picked a few boxes of different flavors and added them in as well.

Two boxes... seemed not quite enough.
