The Shotgun Marriage: She's the Apple of His Eye Chapter 166
Lucy had just laid down in the bedroom when her stomach felt funny. Tobias was brushing his teeth in the bathroom. She endured it for a long time until he came out of the bathroom. Then, she asked miserably, "Are you done brushing your teeth, Tobias?""Mm-hmm." Tobias responded, "I've filled the tub with water. I'll take you in there to wash you up."Lucy blushed. "That won't be necessary. You'll have to call a maid over. My stomach feels a little funny.""What's wrong? Should I take you to the hospital for a check-up?"Lucy shook her head immediately. "That's not necessary. I just had too many fruits, and my stomach feels uncomfortable. Will you please call the maid for me, darling?"Tobias chuckled and patted her head affectionately. He said, "Sure."Lucy let out a sigh of relief. Tobias went out and returned after a short while. He was alone when he came back.Lucy asked in a puzzled tone, "Where's the maid, Tobias?"He responded, "Mom says the maids who usually serve you

Lucy chuckled and said, "I'm not that fragile, Tobias. My hands won't suffer any long-term damage as long as I do the physiotherapy properly in the future."Tobias couldn't do anything about her; there was no way he could win against her in arguments. He said, "I just don't know what to do with you. From here on out, let me give you a hand with everything. Here, I'll carry you and wash you up."How could Lucy possibly let Tobias wipe her bottom for her? It was awkward, no matter how she thought about it.Firstly, she didn't want Joey's wicked plans to succeed. Also, she didn't want to show her embarrassing side to Tobias. That was why she would never let Joey have her way, come hell or high water.Lucy's face was red. She said, "I can handle it myself, Tobias."Tobias stared at her, his eyes gleaming dangerously. "We're a married couple now. Why are you this shy around me?"Lucy blushed. She couldn't even muster up the courage to look at him. "Um… You're so busy. I'm worried

According to medical experts, one would give off a subtle stench if they had a stomach or intestinal issue. The stench wouldn't go away until the condition had been treated. Lucy had never smelled so unusual before in her life. Hence, she didn't realize that her body was giving off a stench now, thanks to her stomach issue.Lucy saw the subtle change in Tobias' expression as well as the impatience in his eyes. She asked in confusion, "What's the matter, Tobias?""It's nothing. I'm going to work now. Get some sleep, Lucy.""Okay. I'll see you again."Lucy watched as Tobias left. Then, she picked up her phone with much difficulty and called Sienna. Once the call connected, Lucy asked, "Can you come to my place, Sienna? I really need you right now.""Sure. Send me your location. I'm coming over right away."Sienna had been working on a design, but when she heard Lucy's pitiful plea, she agreed to it without a second thought. Lucy ended the call and shared her location with Sienn

Sienna heard Lucy's voice and became nervous immediately. She asked, "Lucy?"Sienna followed Lucy's voice and came to the bathroom. She opened the door and found that Lucy had slipped and fallen to the floor in a pitiful manner.She immediately hurried over to help Lucy. However, the floor was slippery, so she almost fell in her rush. Lucy's heart jumped to her throat. "Watch out, Sienna!""Slow down, miss!"At the next moment, Walter caught Sienna swiftly. Lucy let out a sigh of relief, while Sienna was still reeling from the fear of her near-fall. If she had slipped and fallen, she probably would have lost her baby."Thank you."Sienna thanked Walter and went over to help Lucy immediately. Noticing that Sienna was pregnant, he moved ahead and helped Lucy to her feet first. Walter asked in confusion, "How did you fall, Mrs. Ripley? Where's Mr. Ripley? Why aren't any of your maids serving you?"Lucy said, "According to Tobias, the maids who usually serve me took the day off

"What in the world is going on with you, Ms. Everhart? Your injuries were serious to begin with, but you keep getting into accidents and coming to the hospital so frequently. "Are you trying to become permanently disabled? Are you sick of living? Is that why you keep torturing yourself like this?" The doctor sounded very stern as he scolded Lucy with a grim expression. He couldn't help but sigh when he looked at Lucy. This was the first time Lucy had been lectured by a doctor. She was so ashamed that her face turned red. "I'm sorry, but accidents keep happening to me.""Are you the patient's family? How do you guys look after her? Not only is she not recovering, but she has actually gotten worse. "At first, she had bone fractures on her hands and feet, so we put them in casts. Now, she has developed a new condition before her old injuries even had a chance to heal."Sienna asked, "What on earth is going on with Lucy, doctor?""Her bone fractures have gotten worse than before

Tobias was already annoyed that Maya had trespassed into his office. Now that she had spouted some incoherent nonsense, he was outright furious.At that moment, Tobias looked so terrifying that he looked like the devil incarnate. Maya was so frightened that she couldn't help but tremble, and her heart skipped a beat. She knew she had gone overboard. Her hands shook as she reached behind her and ended the call. Tobias said coldly, "I think you're asking to be put behind bars, Ms. Hudson.""I was just joking with you, Mr. Ripley. Don't take it so seriously. Joey asked me to bring some supper for you. I came in here to leave it for you without asking you first. That was my bad."Maya pointed at the food container on the desk and said innocently, "Joey made me come here. She would have scolded me if I hadn't done it."Tobias sneered. "Heh. Are you trying to say that my mom doesn't respect boundaries and that you're innocent and harmless?"He had an icy look in his eyes. In fact,

Tobias heard the automated reply on the phone as the call was rejected. He couldn't help but feel confused. "Why isn't she picking up the phone?"He checked the time and saw that it was already 1:00 am. He rubbed his eyebrows, feeling exhausted. Tobias murmured, "She probably went to bed. I'll call her again tomorrow."At that moment, Finn knocked on the door and came into the CEO's office. "We need you to take a look at these documents urgently, Mr. Ripley.""Alright. Leave them there." Although Tobias was exhausted, he gathered his wits and threw himself into his work. He ended up pulling an all-nighter.…Sienna had managed to hire a private nurse, Griselda Simmons. Since Lucy was satisfied with her, the three of them hailed a cab and went to Riverwood Residences. Griselda put Lucy to bed. She wiped Lucy's body down meticulously and helped her get changed into a fresh set of clothes. Then, she pulled the blanket over Lucy. It was already 2:00 am by the time she was done. "E

At first, Joey had intended to lie and make up all sorts of stories to mislead Tobias. However, she was intimidated when she noticed his sharp eyes and domineering demeanor. She no longer had the guts to lie to him. She said reluctantly, "I'm talking about Sienna. She came here in the middle of the night and took Lucy away."Tobias let out a sigh of relief internally. "Are you talking about Sienna Lewis?"Joey nodded. "That's her."Tobias felt completely at ease when he heard that. After all, Lucy and Sienna were best friends, so he believed that Sienna would take good care of her. Joey looked at the door. "Why isn't Maya here? Did she return to Hudson Manor after she brought you supper?"Tobias gave her a cold sidelong glance and sneered. "Please don't interfere in my private life anymore, Mom. I can't stop you and Maya from cooking up schemes, but I'm not going to let you have your way.""What nonsense are you talking about? I don't understand." Joey played dumb and asked ag

Lucy heard what Tobias said and didn't dare to look at him. She lowered her gaze, allowing tufts of hair in front of her forehead to conceal her emotions. "Why would I feel jealous? I don't love you."Tobias heard the last part of her sentence and felt as if countless insects were gnawing on his heart, making him feel itchy and painful. Both of them fell quiet, and things were a little awkward between them."The doctor's here, Prince Toddy.""Let him in."The doctor entered the bedroom and brought with him medical equipment of his own. He did a series of checkups on Lucy and said, "It's the same diagnosis as before, Prince Toddy. Her internal organs remain untouched, but she was wounded severely on the outside. "We need to apply a specialized ointment on her skin. Otherwise, she will have scars."Tobias said, "What are you waiting for, then? Get us the specialized ointment.""I've given you all of them, Prince Toddy. Use it wisely for now. The only person who possessed these sp

It seemed like Tobias was afraid that Lucy might reject him again. He added, "You haven't gone home for an entire night, Greta. Sully and Eli are extremely worried about you. I didn't want to alarm them, so I lied and said you're staying in the castle as a guest."If you insist on going back and letting them see you in this state, the twins would be worried and scared. Wouldn't you say?"Solomon and Elio were Lucy's weak spots. Initially, she was determined to leave. However, she hesitated when she heard what he said. Lucy lowered her head and looked at herself. Her limbs were injured, and her fingers were slightly bent. She was trembling ceaselessly as well. It looked as if her joints were distorted, giving off the impression that she was a disabled person. On top of that, Lucy's skin was cracked open from all the lashes. She looked absolutely terrifying. If she showed up in front of Solomon and Elio, looking like this, she would definitely traumatize them. With that said, Luc

Staying in the castle for the long term? Elio, who was a curious and mischievous kid, thought about the lavishing and magnificent castle, and his eyes sparkled. He responded to Tobias without any hesitation, "I do!"Meanwhile, Solomon wasn't interested in the castle that much. He wanted to spend some time with Tobias. On the other hand, he wouldn't be able to see Noah anymore if he went to the castle. So, he stuttered and said, "I don't."Elio looked at Solomon in confusion. The latter seemed to see through the former's bewilderment, and he asked, "Do you honestly think we can do whatever we want in the castle, just like the way we lived at the farm? "Moreover, we won't be able to see Noah anymore once we move there."Noah might've been a stepfather, but he took a huge place in the twins' hearts. Tobias was disappointed when he heard what Solomon said. "Do you two care about Noah very much?"Solomon responded, "Of course!" He considered his stepfather to be a good father. Tobia

Tobias used the military authority to his advantage and swiftly subdued Killian and all the leaders of his faction. All of them were incarcerated by the royal guards, and the signals were jammed. Not even God himself could help Killian and his ilk now. All they could do was sit on their thumbs in their respective homes. Moreover, Tobias revoked Killian's dukedom and stripped the latter of his military authority over Killian's negligence in Marie's education. After all, she drugged a prince. Now, Killian was nothing but a loser.Killian flew into a rage. "Damn it. King Samson had to show me some respect, but Toddy just disrespected me. How dare he lock me up at my home and make me a laughingstock in front of the entire world?""Marie has been imprisoned in the dungeon for a long time now, Kilian. What if she can't take it?""I'll never let her die!" Killian bellowed. "Did they think I command only the factions in the castle? They have grossly underestimated me."Killian couldn't

Tobias accompanied Lucy and looked after her carefully. News of Marie's arrest quickly made its way to Samson. Once he knew what happened, he was enraged at her actions. Before he had time to comfort Tobias, Marie's father, Killian Lemoine, rushed into the castle in a fit of rage. "King Samson. Prince Toddy actually ordered his men to arrest Marie for the sake of a civilian. Do you have no respect for me as a duke?" Killian ordered angrily, "Release Marie at once. Otherwise, I'll make you regret it."Samson slammed the table. "Are you trying to launch a mutiny, Killian?"Killian responded, "All I want is for my daughter to be safe and sound. If someone so much as touches her hair, I won't mind going up against the throne to the bitter end!""Why, you!" Samson was agitated. "You are feeling heartbroken for what happened to your daughter, but Lucy was also her parent's sweetheart. Why haven't you thought about how poorly you've educated Marie while she did those heinous acts?""I

Lucy cried out, "Get away from me!"The royal guards acted like starving wolves. They pounced at Lucy and tore her clothes to pieces, making her look even more miserable. At the critical moment, a figure flashed past them. A thudding sound could be heard as one of the royal guards was sent flying into the air. Every time Tobias swung his fist, he sent another royal guard flying. He bellowed coldly, "How dare you lay your grubby paws on what belongs to me? Death has come for all of you!""Prince Toddy." The royal guards immediately felt that something was wrong and fell to their knees, their faces drained of color. "Take all of them away!"Lucy was downright miserable. There were filthy liquids and blood all over her body. On top of that, her hands and feet were covered in bloodied welts. Her hair was disheveled, and her face was pale. It felt as if she was one touch away from passing away.Tobias' heart seemingly stopped beating. He was so heartbroken that the veins on his fo

Someone stole Duchess Lemoine's necklace.Tobias felt that this was something fishy, but he couldn't be bothered by it now. His head throbbed as he thought about how he had forced himself on Lucy. He said, "Dante, do you think Greta will hate me?"Dante stuttered, "Ms. Everhart was f-furious when she left and asked you n-not to look for her. Otherwise…"He stopped himself from finishing his sentence.Tobias asked, "Otherwise?"Trembling, Dante said, "Otherwise, s-she would beat you up each time she saw you."Tobias massaged his throbbing temple. "Prepare all the shoes, clothes, and accessories any woman would like. They need to be the best in the world. I'll apologize to her when dawn breaks.""Okay."Tobias stood by the bedside, heavy-hearted.Outside the window, the guards were scouring high and low. When Tobias saw what was happening, his eyes twitched for some unknown reason, as if he had an ominous feeling that something terrible had happened.After finishing breakfast a

At 3:00 am, Lucy felt like her bones were about to shatter.That damned man! How long had he been starving himself? He had come onto her seven times, devouring her completely.Tobias was sound asleep. Lucy lost herself for a second as she stared at his handsome face. At that moment, her heart beat wildly. When she regained her senses, she was so furious that she cursed him out internally.She wanted to help out of kindness but ended up giving herself to him. Lucy didn't want anything to do with him anymore and only wanted to remember this as an unfortunate event.Lucy got up, but her legs were so weak that she collapsed on the floor with a thump. She was even more furious.She turned to look at Tobias, who was fast asleep. She conveniently took her clothes from the bed and left while supporting herself on the wall.The corridor was still empty, but Lucy noticed the guards surrounding the entrance when she arrived on the first floor. Dante was also there. He was dozing off from wa

"Hmm… L-let go."Lucy tried to resist, but Tobias' kiss was like an ever-burning flame. She felt uncontrollably weak in her knees. It was hard for her to breathe, as if her mind was foggy from the lack of oxygen. She even kissed him back fiercely.Her kiss, in return, was like a fuse being lit, igniting the burning passion in Tobias. He aggressively ripped open her clothes, but the intricate design of her gown made it difficult to tear off. Lucy regained her senses and forcefully pushed him away.Tobias was caught off guard. With a loud knock, he collapsed on the floor. He moaned in pain as the back of his head hit the floor hard.His face flushed with an unnatural shade of red. He curled his body up in agony, and his voice sounded gruff. He had the last ounce of rationality in him. "Help me…"Lucy was blushing as well. In shock, she exclaimed, "What's the matter with you?"She walked closer to him and realized something was wrong with Tobias, assuming he had eaten something upse
