"Yes," Zane smiled slightly. "Mr. Lucas wants to see you."

Ella took a deep breath. "Wait a moment, let me... change my clothes."

Zane smiled even more. "Sure, take your time, Miss Kane."

After saying that, Zane left the ward.

Ella looked at herself in the mirror.

Her face was haggard, her hair disheveled.

She quickly combed her hair, tied it into a low ponytail, washed her face, applied some moisturizer and blush, making herself look a little better. Then she put on a coat over her hospital gown.

After doing all this, she looked at herself in the mirror and felt much better. She then opened the door and said to Zane outside, "Let's go."

"Okay."

There was still some distance from Ella's ward to Lucas's ward.

While waiting for the elevator, Ella couldn't help but ask Zane, "Secretary Zane, where have you been these days?"

Zane smiled mysteriously. "Miss Kane will know where I've been after meeting with Mr. Lucas."

Ella: "..."

Alright, she'll just suppress her curiosity for now.

    "I just went to Mommy's ward to find her, but the nurse auntie said Mommy went to see Uncle Lucas and that Uncle Lucas woke up..." Kaia said, glancing unconsciously in the direction of the hospital bed. She then instinctively hid behind Ella when she met Lucas's gaze, but still politely greeted him, "Hello, Uncle Lucas." Although everyone thought Kaia was just a child and deliberately kept many things from her, Kaia was not stupid. On the contrary, she was very good at observing people's words and expressions. Although she didn't know why, she could clearly feel that Mommy had been cold towards Uncle Leo these past few days but had shown more concern towards Uncle Lucas, who was still in a coma. Although Kaia had always thought that Uncle Lucas was a bad person who always bullied Mommy, her attitude towards him had changed since she found out that Uncle Lucas had saved Mommy's life twice. However, she was still a little afraid of him. Lucas looked at Kaia's face, which was

  • Second chances: Love or revenge?   Chapter 141 Dylan is the father of Theo?!!

    Because Matt was closer to Dylan, Lucas’s understanding of Matt was mostly limited to himself. As for the affairs of Matt family... he only knew that Matt had a half-brother named Philip.A few years ago, Matt occasionally mentioned Philip, but his words were filled with annoyance and impatience. However, since Dylan's incident, Matt seemed to have grown ten years older overnight. Coupled with his decision to become a police officer and his falling out with his family, he hardly mentioned anything about his family.Therefore, Lucas was shocked to hear that Matt was also involved in the incident. " Philip always liked to compete with Matt since they were young. So when Matt became a police officer, that second young master also went against his family's wishes and attended the police academy. I heard that he was even selected to become a special police officer."Lucas was a little stunned by what he heard. The Matt family's business was so vast that if it were any other family, it

    "I understand, Mom," said Kai, his voice tinged with patience.Kai didn’t immediately argue with his mother’s words. Sure, he could listen to her, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t keep his own thoughts on the matter.He’d just spent a bit of time in Uncle Lucas’s room, and while they didn’t talk much, it was pretty clear to Kai that Uncle Lucas was "X."It all made sense now. That odd pattern where X only seemed to be online at night and then popped in briefly during the day? Now that Uncle Lucas had woken up, everything clicked. It wasn’t so hard to figure out—no one watched Uncle Lucas overnight. He could stir, log in for a while, and no one would be the wiser. But during the day? That was a different story. Waking up then would set off alarms for the doctors and nurses, and they’d catch on.At least with Uncle Lucas sticking around the hospital, Kai felt a little more at ease. Even if he wasn’t completely convinced about everything, he had to admit that Uncle Lucas was way mor

    However, in the next second, Lucas’s smile disappeared."My mom asked me to stay at home these two days and not go to the hospital. I feel like she's going to do something dangerous again. Can you keep an eye on her for me?"Lucas:"..."Does this brat sound a bit too familiar? If he really guessed his identity, shouldn’t he show more respect?"After it’s done, I can help you get my mom back." Lucas narrowed his eyes.This little guy is indeed smart, he actually learned to talk about cooperation with him.In the next second, there was another sentence in the chat box."Of course, the premise is that you haven’t cheated."Lucas: "..."Well, this time it can be confirmed that the little guy did guess his identity. But does this little guy know too much for his age?Lucas wanted to educate him a little, but then he thought that he wasn’t his real dad after all. It’s not easy for the little guy to abandon his own family and support the right side. If he educates him a little and makes h

    "Ahem, well, actually, I came to see Miss Amy," said Zane, instinctively denying that he came to see Leo.But as soon as the words left his mouth, he realized that this statement seemed even more dangerous...Sure enough, the next second, Philip said calmly, "I see. Mr. Lucas sent you, didn't he?"Zane replied, "No, I...""Since you've seen her, how is Miss Amy doing? Is she badly injured?" Philip interrupted him.Zane felt like crying, "Miss Kane, you’ve got it all wrong...""What did I misunderstand? Although Amy found someone to impersonate me and even tried to kill me, she did give birth to a child for Mr. Lucas. It's only natural for him to care for and pity the child. I can understand that," Ella said.Zane:"..."Zane wanted to kneel down on the spot."Miss Kans, you really misunderstood..." Zane tried to explain."Okay, okay, I understand. Let’s just say I misunderstood, okay?" Ella interrupted him again. "You must have other things to do as Mr. Lucas secretary, right? I won’t

    Seeing that she still didn’t speak, Leo reached out his hand to her again and said, “Come here.”Ella, of course, wouldn’t go over.She knew very well that the Leo in front of her was not the gentle and considerate " Leo" she remembered. He was a devil.“Leo...” Staring into his eyes, she finally spoke with difficulty, “When did you start to have murderous intent towards my father? Was it from the beginning of your acquaintance with him?”“Do we have to discuss such a serious issue right away?” Leo sighed, “I thought you would at least exchange a few pleasantries with me.”Pleasantries? Ella looked at him and felt a little ridiculous.“Dad treated you as a close friend, often mentioning you, and even took you in when you were in your most difficult time. But what about you? You’re like the snake in the farmer and the snake story! If you had a little bit of humanity, you wouldn’t have done such a thing!” Ella finally couldn’t hold back anymore. Tears shimmered in her eyes, and her vo

    Leo’s face turned pale, almost ghostly. For what felt like an eternity, he didn’t say a word. When he finally did, it came out as a bitter smile, one that seemed almost surreal. “Yes… I was too greedy.”His little sun—his Ella—was done with him. Tired of the darkness he dragged around like a storm cloud. He was a virus, an unshakable shadow, a rat skulking in the sewers. Even when he occasionally felt the warmth of her light, it was fleeting. He always returned to the shadows.Not everyone deserved to hold the sun.“You can leave now,” she said coldly.Leo lowered his head, and it felt heavier than ever. His eyes were hollow, devoid of life, like he wasn’t even a person anymore—just an empty shell.Ella didn’t feel pity for him. Not anymore. Only disgust. She knew he had reasons—good ones, even—but in her world, there was no excuse for the kind of hurt he caused. And Leo? He didn’t just hurt her. He tried to kidnap her and dress it up as “love.”Who gave him the right?Taking a d

    After asking the question, Matt finally got his answer and stopped being curious.But Ella suddenly remembered something.She turned her head to look at Matt and, imitating his tone, asked a riddle, "That child is not his, right?"Matt: "..."This riddle really stumped Matt for a moment.The child was easy to guess—it was obviously Theo. But who was the "he" in Ella's question? If she was referring to Lucas, then the answer was definitely no.But if she was referring to Theo's father, then the answer would be completely different!After thinking for a while, Matt scratched his head and said, "Didn't we already make it clear that the child's name was Theo?"Ella immediately understood. She guessed it right—or, more accurately, it was Kai who reminded her. The child was actually Lucas’s good friend, Theo's father, Dylan!Ella thought for a moment and asked again, "So he kept the child's identity a secret from me because he had his reasons?"This time, Matt immediately understood that th

    However, Ella suddenly thought of something and looked up. "Dante, the lawyer, did you hire him?"As expected, Dante was stunned before replying, "How did you know?"Although everyone knew that the mastermind behind the Montgomery family's fire six years ago was not only Leo, but also possibly involved the Lopez family, it was also known that it was difficult to bring down the Lopez family with their current momentum.Therefore, both Ella and Lucas did not act rashly.Yesterday, Leo's lawyer suddenly threw out evidence in court implicating the Lopez family, and Ella felt that the lawyer was suspicious, but she couldn't figure out who arranged it.Until just now, when she heard Dante's words, she suddenly understood that it could only be Dante.Ella suddenly felt warm in her heart.She looked at Dante and bowed deeply. "Thank you."DANTE was confused. "Thank me for what?" After a while, she suddenly reacted, "Wait, you don't think I hired a lawyer to save him, do you? You're wrong. I

    With this thought, Ella suddenly realized that Kaia not only had a poker face like Lucas, but also had some resemblance to Lucas in his facial features."This is...""My son," Lucas lowered his head and said to Kai, "Kai, call Uncle Dante."Kai obediently called out, "Hello, Uncle Dante."Uncle Dante said he was not good at all.He stared at Kai, his face full of disbelief. "This, this child is yours and Lucas'...""Dante I brought the child over for an exam, and time is tight, so I won't chat with you anymore. You can do as you please."Ella didn't want to discuss the issue of her child's identity with this half-stranger so early in the morning, so she smiled at Dante, then took Kai and walked away.Dante had finally run into her, how could he just let her go like this?But he also realized that Ella didn't want to discuss this topic, so after coming back to his senses, he quickly caught up and steered the conversation towards Kai. "Your son is so young and already taking exams? What

    Lucas asked again, "Is there anyone else at home while Amy is out?""There’s a nanny.""Does the nanny take good care of you?"Theo didn’t answer.Lucas frowned at his hesitant expression.If the nanny treated Theo well, he wouldn’t hesitate like this. But if she didn’t, with Theo’s tendency to complain and cause trouble, how could he possibly cover up for her?Could it be that this little guy, at such a young age, had already learned to be afraid of the strong and bully the weak?Thinking of this, Lucas’s expression turned cold."Stand up straight!"Theo trembled and tried to straighten his body like a small pine tree."I’m asking you, is the nanny good to you or not? If you lie, I won’t take care of you anymore."Theo panicked at these words.If Dad didn’t want him and Amy was gone, what would he do in the future?"Not good! The nanny hits me and says I’m a bastard, not Dad’s child! She won’t let me complain to Amy, or else she’ll sell me to a remote mountain and let Amy and Dad nev

    "What's the matter with me?"This mischievous child wouldn’t be able to harm her even if he wanted to.Ella paused and said, "Do you want to talk to him first? Otherwise, I'm standing here at the hospital entrance with people coming and going. It’s not good to block his mouth, but if I don’t block his mouth, I’m afraid he’ll say something harmful to you, Mr. Montgomery."As soon as Lucas heard her call him Mr. Montgomery, he knew she was in a bad mood again and immediately said, "Then give the phone to Theo."Ella handed the phone to Theo’s ear and took the tissue box out of his mouth."You little fox.""Theo, say one more word to her and see what happens."Theo’s fear of Lucas was almost innate, so even though Amy had been brainwashing him these days, saying that his father had been lured away by Lila, the fox spirit, and didn’t want them anymore, he still harbored resentment towards Lucas.But now, when he heard Lucas’s voice, he reflexively closed his mouth and even trembled slight

    Just then, Ella heard a commotion coming from the direction of the TV station entrance, and faintly heard a child crying."You bad guy! Let go of me, I want to find my mommy...""Your mommy doesn't work here anymore! If you keep causing trouble, I'll call the police!""You're lying, my mommy told me yesterday that she's coming to work at the TV station!"Ella listened from afar and felt a sense of familiarity. Could it be that she had just lamented that Amy wasn’t here, and now she had encountered Amy’s child again?She pursed her lips and originally wanted to turn around and leave. After all, even if the child had lost the protection of his mother, since Lucas had woken up, he should take care of him. It wouldn't be long before someone came to take him away, and it wasn’t her place to play the saint at this time.But just as she took two steps, the child’s crying became even louder, and the voice of the security guard didn’t sound as harsh as before, but rather panicked."You, you

    After leaving the court, Ella's mood was not very good.She had planned to go home and take a nap, but she received a call from the delivery company on the way. The furniture she had ordered online out of boredom while recuperating had been delivered in pieces over the past few days.The delivery company had been urging her to pick it up as the furniture took up space in their warehouse.Ella thought for a moment and decided to go to her new home to check on the furniture. She arranged a delivery time with the delivery man and headed to her new home.When she arrived at the doorstep of her new house, the delivery man had just arrived with the children's bed she had ordered. Even with two men carrying it, it took a lot of effort to move the pile of wooden boards.The online store had promised installation, but no one had come to install it even after half a day. Ella contacted customer service and was told that installation had to be scheduled separately. However, all the installati

    "Life-saving benefactor?" Ella remained calm. "I never intended to take him away from the beginning."Lucas, who couldn't fit into his outfit, clung to Ella's hand. "You promised to take me to see the trial together today."Ella replied, "Yes, but I also said last night that we need the doctor's approval. I asked the doctor for you this morning, and he said you have to rest in the hospital."Lucas' face twisted into a bitter gourd. He was about to speak, but the ward door was pushed open at that moment."Lila, the discharge has been processed."Mrs. Kane's voice abruptly stopped.She stared at Ella, then at Lucas, and then at her own precious daughter's hand, tightly held by Lucas.The air fell into a deathly silence.Finally, it was Ella who reacted first. She pulled back her hand and smiled awkwardly at Mrs. Kane. "Um, Mom, Mr. Montgomery has something to discuss with me."Mrs. Kane replied, "Okay, you guys talk first. I'll wait for you outside."With complicated emotions, she clos

    “Lucas?” Ella frowned. “Why did he come to me instead of resting in his own room?”Zane repeated, “Mr. Montgomery has something to discuss with you.”“Why couldn’t he just talk on the phone?”Zane hesitated for a moment before blurting out, “He needs you to answer the phone first.”Ella fell silent. She didn’t mean to ignore Lucas’s calls. When he called in the afternoon, she was on the phone with Officer Philip. After hearing about Kings Lopez’s confession and Leo’s desire to confess, she had no energy left to deal with Lucas’s matters.It was only when she ran into Matt at the hospital and was reminded of some memories from the past that she thought to ask a few questions.Ella rubbed her forehead and didn’t bother explaining to Zane. She pushed open the door and walked in.Mrs. Kane had been guided by Mr. Kane to watch less TV recently, so she still didn’t know about Leo’s car accident, let alone that he was a murderer.She thought Lila might reconcile with Dr. Leo. So when she h
