Secretary's Secret Lover
Chapter 564 A Sharp Pain in His Heart

Chapter 564: Chapter 564 A Sharp Pain in His Heart

The man seemed to have been soaked in cold air. His expression was unprecedentedly cold.

The false image of peace that had been maintained for more than a month was finally shattered at this moment.

Before Marvin could reply, the man’s voice filled with urgency and oppression sounded again. "Who is she going to marry?"

"I..."

Just as Marvin said the word ’I’, the man’s palm suddenly made a "click" sound, and the sound of his bone joints could be seen. It was clear how high the sudden pressure was.

And the pair of black eyes were like an abyss that could swallow everything.

Even if such a man were to lie on the bed, he would still have great lethality.

With a "pop" sound, the apple that Marvin had just peeled fell to the ground, and the juice splashed out.

"Shit."

Marvin grimaced and snorted, "She’s not going to marry me. I want to say that I heard it is Mr. Parker!"

The pressure on his hand finally dissipated. Lance released his hand.

"Fuck! It hurts."

Marvin swung his arm and thought to himself that he absolutely could not pause while talking next time.

He frowned and said, "Don’t you know that my hand is very precious? You grabbed my hand so tight!"

Marvin cared about his hands so much that he would get them insured.

Being pinched by Lance, it felt like his wrist was broken just now.

As a doctor, he forgot about the topic just now and commented, "I didn’t expect your hands to recover so fast though you didn’t do rehabilitation training for a single day."

He asked curiously, "Are you secretly doing it behind my back at night?"

"What time?" Lance asked coldly.

Marvin was confused.

What time?

"How would I know when you secretly practiced? Don’t tell me you sleepwalked when you practiced."

Marvin said with a puzzled face, "I have never heard that you sleepwalked before. Could it be that you have been in bed for a long time and developed a new problem?"

He suddenly stood up and stretched out to break Lance’s eye open, wanting to check if there was anything wrong with it.

But the man lifted his arm and stopped him.

Lance said concisely, "I’m asking you about her wedding date!"

Marvin said, "Wedding?

"The day after tomorrow."

Marvin picked up another apple and began to peel it.

He didn’t quite understand why this wedding was held so suddenly. He didn’t know it at all before.

"It is said that Mr. Parker brought his girlfriend back and said that he was already married in Ireland. However, isn’t the Parker family also a big family? They care about face, so they naturally have to hold another wedding for their youngest son in Iceland."

After peeling the apple, he handed it to the man and said, "Yvette is really fast. No one knows when she married Mr. Parker."

Before he finished speaking, the man on the bed suddenly lifted the quilt and got up from the bed.

Marvin widened his eyes.

What? He actually ... got up!

He hadn’t even rehabilitated himself for a single day, so why did he suddenly get up from the bed?

By the time Marvin reacted, the man had already wheeled himself out of the ward.

Marvin wondered, he went out just like that!

However, Marvin could still see that the moment he stood up, he was still a little lame. It was obvious that he was not completely recovered.

But even so, being able to get up from bed was a huge breakthrough.

He still needed late-stage recovery training. After all, lying in bed for a long time would lead to muscle atrophy.

His recovery speed was already several times higher than that of others.

Marvin sighed, "Yvette is truly a miraculous medicine."

"Click!"

Marvin bit the apple hard to calm himself down.

...

This was the first time Lance had left the hospital after he woke up.

He went to the elevator and pressed the button. He happened to bump into Frankie. When he saw Lance in the wheelchair, he first turned sideways.

But the next second, Frankie stopped and hesitated for a moment before turning back.

After seeing the man’s face clearly, his mouth opened in surprise for a full ten seconds before he spoke.

"Mr. Wolseley!"

"I’m going back to the company."

The man only said this before he wheeled himself into the elevator.

The elevator doors were about to close.

"Hey ... wait for me, Mr. Wolseley!"

Perhaps Frankie had not yet recovered from his shock as the pace when he spoke was very slow. He had lost his professionalism.

He hurriedly stepped forward, pulled the doors open, and stepped in.

The elevator doors closed again.

He looked at Lance and said, "Mr. Wolseley, why did you suddenly return to the company?"

"I have something to deal with." Ever since Lance woke up, he rarely spoke.

He would basically not waste a single word.

Sometimes, he did not say a word for two or three days, and the official business was handled as usual. When Frankie asked him about food, he answered with a simple "yes".

In this way, he became more and more taciturn.

Frankie was anxious, so he went to find Marvin and told him about it.

In order to study better elbow replacement materials for Lance, Marvin spent all day in the laboratory and did not come out.

Hearing Frankie’s words, he could only pause his research and come to the hospital to accompany Lance every day.

He was lively and talkative. Even if Lance did not speak, he would not feel embarrassed. Instead, he could start a topic and keep talking.

At least when Lance was annoyed, he would say, "Are you bored?"

Lance said that to chase him away.

With Marvin around, Lance spoke more. Although it was still just a few sentences a day, it was still much more reassuring than he had been the previous few days.

The elevator doors opened.

Frankie habitually stood behind him and pushed the wheelchair.

But he stopped Frankie and said lightly, "I’ll do it myself."

He pressed the button, and the wheelchair could move forward and backward and make a turn. It was very convenient.

When he arrived in front of the car, he once again refused Frankie’s support. He held the armrest of the wheelchair and slowly stood up.

Then, he took the walking stick that Frankie had prepared and supported himself into the back seat of the car.

His expression had always been indifferent, so it was difficult for others to see how he had recovered.

However, it seemed that he had recovered quite well. Only he knew that it was still very difficult for him to stand up and walk. Even if he relied on the walking stick, he still needed a lot of perseverance.

His legs, which had once been quite solid, had become atrophied after lying on the bed for a long time, and he would be in great pain if he stood for a while.

And when it was rainy and humid, his right leg would be in excruciating pain. Lying down would also hurt, not to mention standing up.

Rod liked to study how to make people disabled in the most relaxed manner.

So Rod seemed to simply crush Lance’s kneecap, but in fact, the position he crushed was not randomly done.

It was the angle he researched himself that directly led to the difficulty of connecting.

Now, not only was it difficult for Lance to walk on his right leg, but he also suffered from serious side effects.

It was just that he did not care about these things.

After waking up, the past made him feel like a dream.

He was not dead, but he was not alive either, like a robot.

He arrived at the company...

Marcus did not use Lance’s president’s office. Instead, he reserved it and found another office for himself.

When Lance appeared in his office, Marcus was also very surprised.

"Lance, why are you here?"

Lance got straight to the point and asked, "Marcus, do you know about Yvette’s marriage?"

What he asked was whether there was any inside story.

She was pregnant now. If she was to get married, how would the baby in her belly be dealt with? Would the Parker family accept it? And the Parker family...

To be honest, even if he was now half-disabled, he still looked down on the Parker family.

Outsiders all knew that the Parker family was big, and only they themselves knew how despicable they were.

In short, they didn’t choose to stay in New York but chose to establish themselves in Iceland.

The Parker family was not as simple as outsiders thought.

Stephen did not look that bad, but people would change with time the most. Now he loved Yvette. But could he continue to love her in the future?

Would he be able to resist the pressure of his family and not marry another wife and be wholeheartedly devoted to Yvette?

Marcus also knew what he meant. After learning that Yvette was going to get married, he immediately called to ask.

He had some friendship with Yvette. Back then, he had helped her a lot in New York, so Yvette did not reject his question. After a moment of silence, she told him that it was indeed the case.

Now, he did not know if Lance could accept the truth.

After some deliberation, he decided to tell the truth. "What I know is that there is no inside story. Yvette is indeed going to marry Stephen. The two have known each other for many years. Stephen is a good candidate."

Lance’s eyes dimmed. Marcus was more powerful than him overseas.

If there was no problem with Marcus’s investigation, it could only be said that there was really no problem.

He realized that Yvette didn’t get married because of a conspiracy, but because she was really going to marry him.

In an instant, his heart felt a sharp pain.

The man’s face also turned pale for a moment, and then it returned to normal.

"It’s good that there is no inside story."

After he finished speaking, he turned around calmly and was about to leave.

"Stop!" Marcus called out to him in a deep voice.

Lance stopped his wheelchair, but he did not turn around. His back was facing the man.

From the back, his back was still straight, and he didn’t seem to have any emotions.

"Lance, you have rested long enough, right?"

Marcus walked to the sofa to his side with his hands in his pockets. He leaned against the back of the sofa and asked, "I heard from Marvin that you refused to do rehabilitation training. What exactly are you thinking?"

"Training or not, the result is almost the same."

For the first time in so long, Lance revealed his thoughts.

So it was because he felt that he was disabled that he felt it meaningless to train.

"Nonsense!" Marcus scolded in a very dignified manner.

When Jaiden was still alive, he did not like Lance very much.

Marcus preconceived that Lance was very similar to Colton who was blinded by greed and had no feelings.

In the Wolseley family, only Aden was the most generous and benevolent. He was gentle to everyone, but he was sonless.

In the past, Jaiden had kept it a secret. Marcus was also not in the country all year round, so he did not know that Lance was actually Aden’s son.

He had witnessed that Lance had displayed astonishing business talent at a young age. However, he did not have any emotions. He was cold-blooded. He only cared about the interests of the Wolseley family and did not consider whether small companies would survive.

In his eyes, those small companies had to rely on large corporations like the Wolseley Group to survive. Whether they closed down or lost money was not his focus.

Even if some companies could not stand it and expressed their grievances, he was still indifferent and told them that he would choose someone else.

In his eyes, there was only profit and success. Sometimes, to achieve his own plan, he would resort to unscrupulous means.

It wouldn’t harm people. It was just some competition methods.

However, Marcus could not stand his way of doing things for the sake of profit.

So when he returned to the country and met Yvette, he gave Yvette some help when Lance and she were in a bad relationship.

He just wanted to dampen Lance’s arrogance.

But later on, he found that Lance seemed to have changed a lot because of Yvette. For example, he personally set up a powerful security system to safeguard his employees’ welfare which he had always ignored and the interests of the relevant companies that relied on the Wolseley Group to survive.

After marriage, he was more charitable. He cared for sick children and sick and lonely elders.

Some of Yvette’s kind behaviors had also subtly moved this cold man.

It drove him to make some changes.

In particular, Marcus understood that the reason why Lance was so indifferent was that he had been subjected to cold violence from Colton when he was young.

In that family, Lance could not feel any fatherly love. When he was unaware, he had always regarded Colton as his own father.

But Colton had ulterior motives and had been thinking of leading Lance astray since he was young. Unfortunately, Lance’s self-control ability was beyond his control.

Although Lance was cold-blooded, he would not commit adultery and harm others.

He failed to fulfill Colton’s wish.

After knowing the truth, Marcus felt that Lance, who married Yvette, became the real himself.

He was Aden’s son in essence. He had always been kind. It was just that his kindness had been hidden when he was young.

Now that Jaiden had passed away long ago, Marcus, as an elder of Lance, naturally had the responsibility to protect the head of the Wolseley family.

"Lance!"

Marcus looked at him and said gloomily, "The Wolseley Group is yours. I’m just temporarily running it for you. You can be dispirited, but you can’t choose to continue being dispirited."

The man’s expression was indifferent, still expressionless.

Marcus was furious. "In this world, there are people who die and get sick and injured every minute. People who don’t have legs will continue to live!"

He painstakingly persuaded, "People without legs and limbs can live well. What are you doing? You just have one leg that can’t move around. As long as you do rehabilitation seriously, you will recover to the same level as ordinary people. It is just a matter of time."

"Not about my leg," Lance suddenly spoke.

These words were an explanation to Marcus.
