A Heartwarming Marriage Chapter 399
Lucille remained calm. Of course, she recognized how implausible it was. She was a researcher, after all. Still, she couldn't deny that many strange things had happened that had challenged her belief.Now that she thought about it, she found it ironic because it had been more than 20 years. It simply was impossible.…At the Johnson residence, William had been calling Lucille repeatedly. However, she'd neither answered nor declined his calls.Since she'd blocked all their numbers, he'd assumed that she would pick up if he used another number. He would've known she refrained from answering a stranger's calls if he knew her well enough.Besides, the call was still from Whiteloop City, where she only had a few acquaintances. She would've saved the contact numbers of everyone she was close to.Johnson Group had been losing a few long-time clients lately. It was the end of the year, and they couldn't afford to be financially unstable. They needed to ensure the following year's revenue

The next day, Lucille sought out the two individuals George had mentioned the day before. Their address wasn't in the city but in the suburbs.She arrived at Villa No. 9 and rang the doorbell. Soon, an unfamiliar middle-aged man, possibly in his 50s, emerged behind the door.Andrew Callaghan was visibly startled when he saw the figure outside the iron gate. He wasn't shocked to see Lucille, given they had exposed the news. What caught him by surprise was how quickly she'd shown up.His son, Tobias Callaghan, and nephew, Draco Ferguson, had been summoned to the police station three days ago. They'd taken advantage of the situation and revealed their existence to Lucille through the police, hoping to avoid drawing attention from others.Lucille took in his subtle expression. After entering the villa, she discreetly scanned the living room and found it full of life. It seemed like Andrew had lived there for a long time.It was Andrew's first close encounter with Lucille, whose facial

Meanwhile, Bethany waited in the car. Lucille had instructed her to stay behind before leaving the vehicle.More than 30 minutes had passed, yet Lucille hadn't returned. Worried about her, Bethany descended the car but quickly saw Lucille approaching. The latter seemed occupied by her thoughts, judging from her solemn expression and lowered head.What happened to Lucille?"What's the matter, Mrs. Layton?" Bethany called out as she watched Lucille walk past her.Snapping back to reality, Lucille lifted her head and glanced at Bethany. She grunted in response and said, "Nothing. I was lost in my thoughts. Let's go home."…The soft morning glow penetrated through the gaps in the branches outside the villa and streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows on the second floor, casting itself on the floor.A person sat in the wheelchair before the windows, while Andrew stood beside them. Their eyes were glued on the Mercedes-Benz G Class driving away."Just give her some more time

"Mrs. Layton, the car behind us has been tailing us since we left the residential neighborhood," Bethany remarked solemnly after glancing at the rearview mirror.At that, Lucille also looked into the rearview mirror but remained calm. "Ignore it. They won't do anything to us."Although Bethany was confused, she refrained from probing. On the other hand, Lucille sealed her eyes shut to rest after feeling some discomfort in her stomach. She wouldn't have left the house had she not taken the injection last night.About an hour later, they arrived back at Sparrow Residence. Lucille immediately went to bed to get some rest, only to have a long, dreadful dream. Her body felt like it was sinking, as if something were trying to drain out of her.She also heard someone frantically calling her name. However, the person remained faceless even though their voice sounded particularly familiar. No matter how hard Lucille tried, she couldn't open her eyes.In a ward at Central Hospital, Lucas

It only natural for Bailey to behave like so. After all, Lucas had been very vague over the phone earlier. Hence, she'd been panic-stricken ever since she'd heard that Lucille had passed out and been taken to the hospital."How's Lucy? Is she okay? Why is she here at the hospital? I was just on the phone with her… Why didn't I notice anything wrong with her voice? I'm so—"Lucas was slightly startled at the sight of her teary eyes. Bailey had always been a happy-go-lucky type to him; he had never seen her upset or cry over anything.He interrupted her with some comforting words. "It's okay. You can calm down. She's fine. All she needs is a couple of days of rest." His gentle and steady voice immediately calmed Bailey's anxious heart.They headed to the ward, where Bailey saw Lucille lying serenely on the bed. She was troubled with countless thoughts at that moment. Truth be told, she'd never seen Lucille this frail and vulnerable."A-Are you sure Lucy is fine?" she anxiously asked

"Previously, we only tested Luce's special blood type. This time, I had a thorough re-examination done."Lucas gripped the report and explained, "Coagulation disorders are classified into two—hereditary and acquired. And this report…" He passed the document to Spencer, continuing, "shows that her condition was caused by the latter. More importantly, her blood now contains a rare component I've never seen before.""What does that mean?" Spencer knitted his brows. "What does it have to do with the incident this time?""To put it simply…" Lucas tried his best to speak in Layman's terms. "Her blood has started producing antibodies, so her specially formulated medicine is no longer effective. That's why she's bleeding more compared to before."But don't worry; she's not in immediate danger. She's losing more blood than usual, but it can be replenished."Despite Lucas' attempt to speak in simpler terms, he was met with a cold, warning glance from Spencer. As such, he cleared his throat
A Heartwarming Marriage Chapter 405
Bailey entered the ward with crossed arms while staring at the couple on the bed. She scoffed, and her voice dripped with mockery. "And here I was, worrying about how weak and uncomfortable you'd feel after you wake up. It seems like Mr. Layton is all the medicine you need!"You're not only fine but drenching in honey, aren't you? Gosh, I shouldn't have been worried sick. Are you trying to make me jealous?"Dumbfounded, Lucille was just about to say something when she saw Lucas embracing Bailey from behind.Bailey struggled briefly and glared at him. "What are you doing?"Lucas lowered his gaze and locked eyes with her. His smile seemed gentle, but his words irritated Bailey. "I can be your medicine too, babe. And I promise to be sweeter than Spence. "You don't have to be jealous of anyone; I can give you exactly what you want. Not only will it be sweet, but it'll also be nice and comforting."Bailey was astounded by the switch in his demeanor. Since she'd gotten to know him o

At Villa No. 9, Draco reported the recent events while drinking water. "Uncle Andrew, she was at the hospital for two days and was discharged today—"An irritated Andrew glanced at him. "Can't you drink after you finish speaking?"After gulping down the last drop, Draco argued, "What are you rushing for, Uncle Andrew? It's not like I'd run. I'm thirsty and need water to replenish before I can continue."Andrew was at a loss for words. After taking a breath, Draco continued, "I discreetly had someone ask one of the nurses at their station, and there's no useful information…"He quickly changed what he was going to say when he saw that Andrew was ready to raise his arm. "But I hacked into their computers and found this." He passed his phone to Andrew.After looking at it, Andrew headed upstairs.…Lucille rested for another two days at home. The following day, she was about to head out to Star&Ciel Group when she received a text message from an unknown number.The message mention

In the bathroom, Lucille was relaxing as she enjoyed the care she was receiving from Spencer. They had seen each other like this for too long, and they had gotten used to it by now. Of course, it had taken her time to get used to it. Every time she was injured, she would end up receiving this treatment, but… While she might have gotten used to it, it was still a kind of punishment for Spencer."Honey, your shirt is wet. Why don't you take it off?"She noticed that half of his black shirt was wet and sticking closely to his body. The wet shirt perfectly outlined his muscular build.She couldn't help but gulp. This was pretty deadly to her too.He was wearing a black shirt with two buttons undone, revealing a glimpse of his collarbone. Coupled with his handsome face, he looked simply irresistible. Her heart couldn't help but race. As he carefully wiped her arm, he avoided the injury on her right hand. It was already torture for him to help her bath. However, when he suddenly he

"So, you can't blame Eunie for not telling you, and you can't blame us for keeping you in the dark."In other words, Ian had brought it upon himself, and there was no one else to blame but himself.Ian was rendered speechless. He'd never thought that this was how Eunice saw him—a ruthless person who would get rid of his own child.He mocked himself inwardly. He also felt hurt, as if something were stabbing him.After Lucille was done talking, she saw Ian look visibly upset and didn't say anything. So, she whispered to Spencer, "Do you think I went too far with what I said earlier? Can he take it?"Spencer rubbed her head and said, "Don't worry. He can take it. Besides, what you told him is the truth. If he can't handle it, he isn't worthy to be our buddy."Lucille nodded in agreement after she heard that. What Spencer said made sense. She felt at ease after he comforted her.After a while, Ian finally spoke up again. "So, I shouldn't go and look for her?"Lucille was surprised

"I'm here for you!"Upon hearing that, Lucille was rendered speechless. On second thought, she realized this was fine too.Then, she looked at Spencer and blinked before she said, "Don't leave me. I'm injured right now, so I can't fight him."Ian glowered at her words, feeling at a loss for words. Did he look like someone who would lay a hand on a woman?Spencer looked at her dotingly and responded, "Okay. I won't leave you."Ian was just flabbergasted now."What's the matter, Ian?" With Spencer to back her up, Lucille felt at ease. Even if she hadn't said anything, she knew Spencer wouldn't have left her alone with Ian.Ian suddenly smiled. "It looks like you have quite the luck. The hospital is practically your second home."Lucille was rendered speechless. Then, she smiled and looked at Spencer before she provoked Ian. "My home is wherever my husband is. We're not like some people, for whom having a wife seems to make no difference whatsoever." She'd never lost to anyone b

Ian turned to look at Lucas. It was obvious that he seemed to be wondering why Lucas had asked that. When Lucas saw Ian's expression, he knew that Ian had never thought about it. In other words, he had no recollection of what he had done and said."I'm going back to be with my wife. You guys just carry on." Spencer stood up and smoothed out the creases on his clothes as he spoke indifferently. After all, it had been a while since he'd left the ward.With that, he strode toward the door without waiting for the others to say anything. Connor was eager to see how things would unfold, so he didn't leave.…Meanwhile, after Beatrice left, Spencer returned to the hospital ward. When Lucille saw him coming in, she asked, "Where have you been?"He took off his coat and put it aside. Then, he walked to the bed and sat down. "I went to investigate some stuff."Lucille figured out what it must have been about and asked, "You went to investigate Alexander and my mom?"Spencer, who wa

"Ian, what brings you here?" Connor had no idea about Eunice's situation in Arcania, so he was quite surprised when he saw Ian.Although he was surprised, he wasn't blind. He could see that Ian had a hostile air about him.Looking puzzled, Connor glanced at Lucas, who was seated next to him, for an explanation. After all, he knew Spencer wouldn't tell him.After Ian came in, he didn't even bother to sit and directly asked, "Where is she?"Last night, he'd received Lucas' message—the latter had told him that he knew Eunice's location and wanted him to come to Arcania immediately. That was why Ian had rushed to Arcania without any delay.Lucas hadn't told him the exact location. Instead, he'd just told Ian to come to the hospital. Ian had thought that something had happened to Eunice and that she was hospitalized. So, he'd rushed to the hospital as soon as he'd gotten off the plane. However, after he'd come to his senses, he'd gotten someone to check the hospital's patient list.

Before Beatrice spoke, she looked at the entrance of the hospital ward. After ensuring that no one was coming, she said, "Although we found out that all four of Mr. President's children's last names are Vonridge, they don't seem to be his biological children."Lucille widened her eyes, looking surprised. She cocked an eyebrow and asked, "What did you just say?""They were adopted from the orphanage. Our database has their information, and it's a 100% match," Beatrice replied.Lucille naturally wouldn't doubt that the information in Otearl Alliance's database was incorrect. However, she had never heard anyone mention this before.At the same time, Spencer, who had just left, had gone to investigate something as well.After they'd returned in the afternoon, he'd instructed Kent to conduct an investigation. The news that Kent came back with shocked Spencer to the core.Connor and Lucas were also there. They were in a lounge."Spence, how could Lucille's mom also know Alexander?"

Diana let out a long sigh. Her words were tinged with helplessness and regret. "This is your aunt. She hasn't appeared for more than 20 years. I never expected her to be gone for this long. There has been no news from her. She must hate me very much."Samantha had no idea what had happened. Her aunt's name and everything related to her had always been taboo in the Crawford family."Is it possible that Ms. Deer is my aunt's child?" Samantha asked.If that was the case, it was quite a coincidence.Diana looked at the photo album in her hands. After a brief silence, she said, "I want to meet her. Don't tell anyone about this for now."Samantha nodded. "Okay."…Meanwhile, in Arcania, Alexander also left the venue after Lucille and the others left.After Alexander left, he immediately had someone to investigate Lucille's past. Back then, after Jane had suddenly left, she had covered all her tracks. No matter how Alexander had searched, he hadn't been able to find her. There hadn't

When Diana took a closer look, her hands, which had been leisurely tapping on the armrests, suddenly froze.At first, Samantha didn't notice anything unusual about her reaction."Grandma, the best thing I got out of this trip was getting a photo with my idol." She went on and on. "It's the first time I got to see Ms. Deer's real face, and she's very beautiful. No wonder she always wears a veil. Although she looks aloof, I think the way she talks sounds gentle."By the way, she is married. Her real name is Lucille Johnson, and she's from Whiteloop City in Summeria. There was an unexpected incident during the competition, and it was quite despicable. I didn't expect her family to turn out completely different from how I'd imagined them to be."Samantha pouted as she stared at the photo of her and Lucille. She'd always thought that someone outstanding like Lucille would have a perfect family; she hadn't expected things to turn out like that.After the competition had ended, Samantha

Meanwhile, after Samantha had participated in the perfumery competition, she'd stayed in Whiteloop City for about a week before returning to Crawford Residence in Marvonia.She had been declared the champion of this year's perfumery competition. After she'd returned, she'd chosen to keep a low profile and hadn't celebrated or gone around boasting about it.However, she'd forgotten that Natasha Crawford, her mother, had a strong sense of pride.Since Samantha had been young, she'd had to excel in everything and come in first to meet Natasha's expectations. Only then could Natasha hold her head high and brag about Samantha in front of everyone. At the same time, she could enjoy the flattery from those around her.So, the day after Samantha had returned, Natasha had gathered everyone and thrown a party to celebrate her victory. The room had been filled with people she hadn't known, but they'd all been important figures. That night, after making an appearance, Samantha had left the
