Lucas suddenly shouted, "Get out of the car!""What?" Chelsey didn't know what he was planning but obediently got out of the car. She then joined the crowd and retreated to a safe place.She kept her eyes on Lucas as he revved the engine. He drove his Rolls-Royce Cullinan straight toward the white car that was recklessly crashing into people, effectively blocking its path.The white car, like a mad beast, continued to ram into Lucas' vehicle.Loud and thunderous crashes echoed, causing concern among everyone.Chelsey's heart clenched, silently praying for Lucas' safety.The white car briefly reversed but then quickly accelerated, attempting to ram into pedestrians once again.Lucas drove forward without hesitation and once again blocked the white car.A deafening sound echoed.The impact deformed the door of the Rolls-Royce Cullinan.The onlookers gasped at the sight.Regardless of which direction the white car wanted to break through, Lucas would rush to block it.The re
Chelsey hadn't expected Lucas to have the mind of a love-struck teenager. He was already severely injured, but he still wondered if she loved him or not.Was that important? Wasn't staying alive more important?Ignoring his question, Chelsey asked, "Do you feel pain anywhere?""My whole body hurts." Lucas was aware that he probably had multiple fractures.His car was severely deformed. His legs were trapped and likely bleeding, so he couldn't move.Upon hearing Lucas' answer, Chelsey couldn't help but scream, "Now you feel pain! Why did you have to play the hero? Aren't you afraid that you'll … you'll …"Chelsey couldn't finish her sentence. Covering her face, she cried with all her might.When she saw the white car accelerating toward Lucas over and over again, her heart almost stopped.Fearless to begin with, Lucas started to feel scared as he watched Chelsey cry so intensely. He was afraid that if he died, she would be left devastated.Lucas struggled to force a smile, at
The paramedics on-site quickly attended to Lucas, wrapping his wounds with bandages and administering a strong heart stimulant.As Lucas was being carried out, the onlookers erupted in enthusiastic applause, cheering and praying for his well-being.An elderly woman, who had been watching nearby, patted Chelsey on the back and said, "Miss, your husband is so brave. You've chosen the right man."Chelsey would rather Lucas not be so brave.Did he forget that he had already retired from the military? He was such a fool.Chelsey followed the ambulance to the hospital.Lucas was wrapped tightly in bandages, lying there motionless. If it weren't for the slight rise and fall of his chest, Chelsey would have thought he was ...She held on to his hand. Her clothes were stained with blood as well.His hand used to be warm, but now she felt like she was holding a block of ice.At this moment, Chelsey had no tears left.She watched as Lucas was wheeled into the operating room. After that,
Chelsey was pretty adept at caring for Lucas. After all, she'd done it for three years. She stuck a straw into the glass and held it close to Lucas' mouth so he could drink.His throat felt much better after sipping some water; he could speak smoothly now. But the words he uttered made Chelsey want to splutter. "Do you really love me?"Chelsey buried her face in her palms. Had the accident turned him into a hopeless romantic instead of killing him? He'd never cared for these things in the past.She looked at him helplessly. "Why do you keep asking such silly questions?""Because I want to know the answer. I have to stay alive, even if it's just for your sake!" Lucas held Chelsey's hand and looked deep into her eyes.His hand was bandaged in layers of gauze. The way he looked at the moment made Chelsey's eyes turn red. She felt a burning sensation in her throat—the tears threatening to spill. She sniffled and tried to keep her voice calm as she said, "Don't be so silly next t
In the past, Lucas never would've said such things. He used to have a bad temper and was always so cold to everyone. Now, however, he was a changed man. Chelsey wasn't quite yet used to it.He sighed and said, "My brain is fine. But since I've had a near-death experience, I want to treat you well. I was wrong for everything that happened in the past.""Are you sure this is considered treating me well?" Chelsey looked bemused. Lucas seemed to have the wrong idea about what it meant to "treat her well".He gave her an innocent look. "But of course. What else could it be?"Damn it, he was such a diva."Alright, that's enough!" Chelsey begged. "Please, save me from this torture!"Lucas suddenly looked downtrodden. He said wanly, "Okay. I won't say anything else.""Good." Chelsey finally had some peace and quiet. She still preferred the old Lucas, the one who was cold and didn't speak much. She couldn't really handle the new Lucas, who flirted with her at every opportunity.Chel
Chelsey had cared for Lucas for three whole years without him ever complimenting her. He even thought she'd only done what she was supposed to since she'd taken money from them. Now, though, he was starting to sing her praises.Once again, she couldn't help thinking of him as a changed man. She felt bittersweet as she said, "I'm not a god or anything. I can't make you recover with a few simple massages. It's the doctors' treatments that worked out. I only helped a little.""No, I think your massages were the key." Lucas transformed into the ultimate clingy husband; he refused to let go of her hand.As a creative type, Chelsey's hands were smooth and supple. Her fingers were slender and so delicate that they seemed to have been carved from the finest marble. Yet these hands had cared for him for three years.Lucas' heart twisted painfully as he looked at them. His thumb, the only finger free from the gauze, tenderly grazed against the back of Chelsey's hand. It felt even smoothe
There were all sorts of supplements and snacks piled outside the room.Timothy walked into the hospital room and placed the food he'd brought on the coffee table. When he saw how Lucas lay in bed like a mummy, he couldn't help laughing. "My, is this really the almighty scion of the Yates family? Are you sure it's not a recently unearthed mummy?"Lucas glared at him. It was too bad he couldn't move at the moment. Otherwise, he would've given Timothy a punch. The latter had to have come to stir up trouble.Chelsey suppressed her laughter and said, "I think he looks like a mummy, too. I just didn't have the nerve to say anything."She was afraid it would hurt Lucas' ego. When Timothy saw how haggard she looked, his heart ached. He asked gently, "You didn't get enough sleep last night, huh?""Yeah, I couldn't fall asleep." She rubbed her eyes, trying to wake herself up. She smiled at Timothy, but her eyes were still full of fatigue.Lucas wasn't too pleased to see Chelsey smile at
In the past, Chelsey wouldn't even have dared to dream about Lucas cooking for her. He was a bit of a male chauvinist; he didn't think men belonged in the kitchen. In his mind, men should either be suited up in boardrooms or donning military garb and charging on the battlefield.Aprons weren't meant for men. But when Lucas saw how happy Chelsey looked eating Timothy's cooking, he found himself wanting to cook for her. He supposed it wouldn't be too bad for him to put an apron on every now and then.Besides, he was a lot more considerate now. He could fill Chelsey's plate with food, too.Chelsey couldn't help giggling when she saw Lucas getting jealous. "Sure, I'll wait for you to cook for me when you've recovered. Don't let me down, alright?""I won't!" he said, looking serious.Timothy's expression hardened at what a suck-up Lucas was now being when he used to be such a bully toward Chelsey. He said to Chelsey, "You said you wanted to go to Vegviser Mountain with me, right?
Sandra flashed a satisfied smile as she wrapped her arms around Micah's neck and kissed him. "Please be gentle. I'm afraid it'll hurt… Mmm…"An hour later, Sandra lay limp in Micah's arms. Both of them were drenched in sweat.Although the car was not spacious, it did not affect Micah's performance. Sandra was very satisfied with him. He turned to look at the sleepy Sandra and gently asked, "Does it still hurt?""Yeah…"Sandra did not expect it to hurt so much to the point she'd cried in pain.Now, she was exhausted. She did not even have the strength to keep her eyes open.Micah reached out to gently wipe away Sandra's tears. "Are you satisfied?""Yeah," Sandra replied as she embraced him tightly. At that moment, all she wanted to do was sleep. Sandra then fell asleep. She had no idea how she returned to the hotel.When she woke up, it was already morning.Micah was lying beside her, and neither of them was wearing anything. Her eyes lit up at the sight of his hand
Micah's judgment may be somewhat clouded, but he was still aware that he and Sandra were in the car.It was their first time doing the deed. Wasn't it too intense for it to happen in the car?"Let's head back to the hotel. The car is too small," Micah said as he grabbed Sandra's hand, his voice hoarse but sexy. Sandra looked at him seductively. "Are you sure you can hold on until we return to the hotel? I can't stand it anymore. I want it now…"She stuck out her pink tongue and licked her lips as she spoke. Every move of hers was charming.Micah was both amused and helpless at the sight of Sandra's eagerness. He had never met such an unrestrained woman like her. She was indeed a lethal poison. Micah's throat felt like it was on fire. He swallowed hard and replied, "It's our first time. Let's not be hasty. We can enjoy it better in the hotel room."Sandra was not the only inexperienced one. It was also Micah's first time. He felt that doing it in the car lacked a sense
Sandra's suggestive tone caused Micah's heart to flutter, and indescribable images appeared in his mind again. His lips trembled as he nervously asked, "W-What do you want to do?""What do you think I want to do?" Sandra winked at him and then licked her lips. Everything was implied but left unsaid, understood without being spoken.Micah felt both excited and awkward. He cleared his throat before replying, "It's too fast.""We'll get there eventually. So, why not do it sooner? We can enjoy it in advance," Sandra said seriously.Once again, her logic left Micah at a loss for words.He took a deep breath to remain rational. Micah refused to let his instincts take the reins once more. "We've just started dating, and there's no guarantee we'll continue to do so. I don't want to hurt you if we don't work out."But Sandra did not seem to care. "Why is your thinking still so conservative in this day and age? I'm not concerned about it, so why should you?"She merely wanted hi
Sandra did not answer Xenia's question. Instead, she replied, "The crawfish here tastes good. It's big and fresh."But Xenia showed no interest in the crawfish. She was captivated by Micah, her eyes lingering on him."Sandra, is he your boyfriend or bodyguard?"Sandra shot Xenia an annoyed glance and answered, "He's my boyfriend. What's it to you?""Nothing much. Your boyfriend suddenly rushed onto the stage and disrupted the filming. Mr. Dodd was pissed. Tell your boyfriend he shouldn't do that again. Even if he wants to become famous, that's not the way."Xenia's words were somewhat sarcastic, leaving Sandra feeling uncomfortable.The latter retorted, "My boyfriend doesn't want to become famous. He rushed onto the stage because he saw I was feeling unwell. "If it weren't for him, I'd have died by now. And if someone dies, the filming can't continue, anyway."Sandra did not know hypothermia could be so severe. She thought she could have toughed it out.Fortunately, Micah h
Sandra could break up with Micah next month if everything went smoothly.She playfully winked at him and said, "It's your turn to feed me."Micah choked on his saliva upon hearing that.They were in public, so he dared not do it at all. However, Sandra had already opened her mouth."Hurry up and feed me."Left with no choice, Micah peeled a crawfish and fed her.After eating that, Sandra smiled and demanded, "I want you to feed me with your mouth.""Don't push your luck."At that point, Micah's face had turned red as a tomato.Despite being an upright person, Sandra had led him astray. His mind was now filled with unwholesome thoughts."I will push my luck," replied Sandra. She then pouted coquettishly. "Quick! Feed me!"She had thoroughly gotten the better of him.Micah became a man without principles, only capable of spoiling his girlfriend. He could not bring himself to refuse her demands.With a crawfish in his mouth, he turned to feed it to Sandra.She aggressi
Sandra did not want to order takeout at the hotel.So, she searched online for a highly-rated restaurant and asked Micah to drive there.Sandra had chosen an eatery that specialized in crawfish. Upon their arrival, she boldly ordered 22 pounds of crawfish, some side dishes, and beer. The crawfish soon arrived, and the plate was almost as big as the table. Sandra rolled up her sleeves and immediately dug in. She also poured beer for herself and Micah."I need to drive, so I can't drink," said Micah."Don't worry. We can just call for a driver. Let's drink together. It's no fun drinking alone."After saying that, Sandra picked up her glass and took a big gulp.She even put her feet up on the chair while eating, displaying her carefree demeanor.It was Micah's first time seeing a female celebrity who was unconcerned about her image. He suddenly found Sandra's bold and candid character rather adorable.As Sandra savored the crawfish, she paired each mouthful with sips of be
Trevor was even more handsome up close.He was a gentleman, smiling as he asked, "Can you stand steady?""I should be able to," answered Sandra.Initially, she was standing just fine, but then Trevor helped her. Sandra suddenly felt her legs go weak. Perhaps she could not stand steady now.Trevor helped her to the side and said, "You should sit here for a while. Continue filming when you feel better.""Alright."At that moment, Sandra hated herself for not bringing paper and a pen with her. Otherwise, she would have gotten Trevor to sign an autograph."He's so good-looking!" Sandra exclaimed inwardly.After that, Trevor returned to the stage. Owen dared not make a sound and only glared at Sandra, who innocently pursed her lips.How could Owen blame her? Trevor was the one who wanted to help her, after all. Suddenly, Sandra sensed an unfriendly gaze and instinctively turned to look. She immediately caught sight of Micah's darkened expression, his eyes gleaming with a hi
Sandra was not embarrassed by Micah's stare. Instead, she flirtatiously blinked at him and asked, "Do you want to join me for a shower?"Startled, Micah averted his gaze and quickly turned away. "Why didn't you close the door when you shower?"Sandra confidently replied, "Why should I close the door? You're not a stranger. Besides, you've seen every part of my body multiple times."Micah could not help but wonder if she was truly a woman. Why wasn't she shy or reserved? Sandra was bolder than any man. Micah gulped nervously before saying, "That's one way to put it. But don't you feel like you're at a disadvantage by letting me see your body?""If you think I'm at a disadvantage, why don't you show me yours? That way, we'll be even." Sandra then beckoned with her finger. "Come here. Let's shower together."At that moment, Micah felt that Sandra was up to no good, like a witch from a fairy tale.After hanging the shirt she requested on the wall, he turned to leave the b
Sandra burst out laughing after hearing that. She was surprised that Micah had a sense of humor and could crack jokes.Their relationship took another step forward without them realizing it.If it had not been for the filming in the afternoon, Sandra would have wanted to make love with Micah immediately. She wanted to get it done as soon as possible because she had been waiting for this day for too long. After giving birth, she could focus on her career without needing to worry about all these matters anymore.Sandra had made a deal with her parents. They would take care of her child, and she did not need to be involved. The child would grow up and inherit the family business, while she could do whatever she liked and live a carefree life.In actuality, Sandra had no desire to date or marry. She just wanted to be alone.She could find several men to accompany her if she ever felt lonely.Meanwhile, Micah was completely unaware of Sandra's plans. He was even planning to in
