The Shotgun Marriage: She's the Apple of His Eye Chapter 170
"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

Sienna asked in a surprised tone, "Do you know Lucy?"She couldn't help but scrutinize Axel. She raised her eyebrows, noticing that he was dressed elegantly and was good-looking. She had an urge to set him up with Lucy. Lion had been running around in circles at the door. But now that Sienna was there, it instantly turned into a well-mannered dog. It looked at Axel with pleading eyes.Axel smiled faintly. "Yes, I know. I'm Axel Lyons, Ms. Everhart's neighbor. You seem to have forgotten, but we met each other once at the hospital. At the time, we were all rushing about and didn't have time to greet each other.""Really?" Sienna tried her best to recall, but she couldn't be sure if she had seen Axel before. Perhaps people were right when they said a woman's mind wasn't as sharp as it used to be once she got pregnant."How do I address you?""I'm Sienna Lewis."Axel said, "Can I go in and visit Ms. Everhart, Ms. Lewis? She fell off the cliff and got injured before. I took her to

The next day, Tobias woke up early in the morning. He was still feeling dizzy when he felt around the space next to him instinctively. He became wide awake when he couldn't feel the familiar warmth next to him. His eyes snapped open, and he sat up straight. It took him some time to remember that Lucy had left with Sienna the other night. He had a bad headache from staying up all night. Tobias scratched his head in frustration and went to freshen up. Just as he stepped into the bathroom, his phone rang. Lucy was calling him. On the other side, Lucy hadn't slept for a whole night. She knew she would keep feeling uneasy until she spoke to Tobias.So, she secretly dialed Tobias' number when Sienna wasn't looking. She wanted to get to the bottom of what she had heard that day. However, no one picked up her call, despite how long it rang. Lucy couldn't help but feel disappointed and imagine things. Back at Ripley Residence, Joey sat in the living room. She had been furious all n

Tobias hadn't lost his temper in a long time. Today, he was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on—he went ballistic."Tobias, put her down!"Tobias didn't put Maya down; instead, he tightened his grip and said coldly, "Mom, it seems like you have too much free time on your hands these days. There's a project that needs your attention at one of our branch offices. Please handle it immediately.""Branch offices?"Joey was perplexed. Since she and Zayne had gotten divorced, the Ripleys had never allowed her to touch any of the Ripley family's assets. She was confused yet surprised by Tobias' words. "Which branch office?"Tobias saw the excitement in Joey's eyes. He said with a sneer, "Faldoria."The expectant look on Joey's face was immediately replaced by disappointment and rage at being played for a fool.However, she swallowed it and didn't lose her temper with Tobias. She chuckled dryly and declined the offer. "Tobias, I haven't managed a company for many years. I don't t

"Walter, say what's on your mind." The only people Tobias treated warmly in that house were Howard, Lucy, and Walter.As he thought about Joey's arrogance, Tobias felt a headache coming. Yet, he felt also disappointed and heartbroken.Walter said, "Two nights ago, Mrs. Ripley…"Just then, Tobias' phone rang."It's Finn. I need to take this first."Walter nodded in assent. Finn was a competent assistant who had worked for Tobias for many years. He had probably called about work."Hello.""Mr. Ripley, something happened at customs when we tried to deliver the order to Faldoria. Now, the client wants to sue us for a breach of contract."Tobias furrowed his brows. "Talk to our lawyers for a problem as small as this."Finn said anxiously, "Mr. Ripley, it's the billion-dollar contract we signed with the Queen of Faldoria. To our surprise, when we delivered the goods, some of it was damaged during the transportation process through customs. "The queen is suing us for a breach of co

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
