The Shotgun Marriage: She's the Apple of His Eye Chapter 211
The doctor was stunned by Tobias' words. "Do you already know about it?"Tobias responded coldly, "I do!"The doctor sighed and said, "Your wife's condition is quite serious. She begged with me sincerely and asked me to keep it a secret from you."He took out the actual medical report and handed it to Tobias. "This is the real report."Tobias checked it out. He didn't understand the medical terms. So, he asked, "Exactly what condition does she have? Why are her hands trembling so much that she couldn't even hold anything?"The doctor responded, "Your wife has the essential tremor. It is a neurodegenerative condition. It's different from Parkinson's disease, which would cause loss of muscle functions and render her unable to walk, in addition to her hands trembling."Tobias grew nervous after he heard what the doctor said. "Your wife's condition hasn't escalated to Parkinson's disease. In fact, we can treat her hand with the current medical technology."Tobias let out a sigh of

Then, Lucy saw Tobias in the kitchen. He was brandishing the kitchen knives as he chopped bones. The chopping sound came incessantly, but Tobias didn't manage to cut the bone. Instead, he almost split the chopping board in half. The kitchen was shrouded in smoke. Lucy could even smell something burning."What are you doing up, Lucy? Yikes. This is bad. My dishes are burnt." Tobias growled and hurried over to turn off the gas. Lucy asked in a shocked tone, "Why are you preparing dinner by yourself, Tobias?"Tobias was a prestigious man who lived a wealthy, comfortable life and was above such mundane matters. What had come over him and made him want to prepare dinner?Lucy coughed fiercely and asked, "Why didn't you turn on the kitchen vent? The house is shrouded in smoke!"Then, she pinched her nose and walked into the kitchen to turn on the kitchen vent. After that, the smoke in the kitchen gradually went away. "I'm sorry, Lucy. This is my first time cooking. I didn't think

Tobias and Lucy stood by the sink. She was washing the vegetables while Tobias stood behind her. He wrapped his arms around her waist and held the vegetables for her. The water kept flowing as his mind wandered far. "My parents were always occupied with work when I was young. When they finally had off days, I wanted to have a happy weekend with them, much like any other child did. "However, they started fighting as soon as they saw each other. They even resorted to physical violence. Once, they fought in front of me. I saw with my own eyes how my mom wielded a knife and hacked away at my dad…"Tobias' voice choked up toward the last part of his sentence. Lucy was heartbroken after she heard what he said. Some people had such a blissful childhood that it allowed them to deflect any harm in adulthood. But there were others who had been traumatized in their childhood and ended up being scarred for life. Tobias undoubtedly belonged in the latter group."My mom used to take it out

"Heh. It turns out the CEO of Ripley Group had a female childhood friend. If we go by the cheesy soap operas, you guys should've reunited with each other. "Then, you two should've fallen in love and gotten married with a couple of kids. So, why didn't you marry her instead?" Lucy grunted and said in displeasure, "It looks like I got in the way!"She pouted as she spoke. Then, she turned her head sideways and ignored him. Tobias looked at Lucy as she got jealous, and his lips curled into a wicked grin. He cupped her face and turned it back gently. "Are you jealous?"Lucy huffed and turned her head to the side again. Tobias turned it back toward him again. "Look at me, babe." His voice was both deep and seductive. "Why bother looking at me? I'm not as pretty as your childhood friend!""It's true. I'm very grateful that she consoled me when I thought back to those moments. However, we were both so young. How were we supposed to know anything about love?"Tobias stared deeply int

It was already 9:00 pm by the time they were done with cleaning up."You've kept me company for the whole day, Tobias. Go ahead and do your work if you have to."Tobias checked the time and said, "Okay. I have a video conference later. What are you going to do after dinner?""I'm feeling a little tired. So, I'm not going to move around. I'll just sit on the couch and watch a movie.""Alright."Tobias turned around and went into the study to get his laptop. Lucy got comfortable on the couch and pulled up an application on her phone to watch a horror flick. Tobias came around and saw the cover poster for the movie. He said in a shocked tone, "Won't you spook yourself if you watch a horror movie at night?"Lucy shook her head and smiled. She said, "I won't be afraid if you're around."Tobias' lips curled into a grin. He placed his laptop on the table and sat on the rug before he crossed his legs.Lucy heard him making a video call and plugged her earphone into her phone. She wat

The next day, the golden rays of the sun shone through the glass and fell on the bed. Two figures were hugging each other and sleeping on the bed. Tobias was the first one to wake up. He had slept in the same posture for the whole night, and his hand was numb. He endured it longer before he finally couldn't take it anymore and pulled his hand out from under Lucy's head. Lucy woke up when he did that. But she was too tired from all the unspeakable things they had done last night. It felt like her body was drained of every ounce of energy. So, she was content to keep her eyes shut and continue sleeping. Tobias' phone vibrated. He slipped out of bed and answered it outside."Hello.""Today's Her Majesty's birthday party, Mr. Ripley. The presents have been prepared. Have you prepared formal clothes for Mrs. Ripley and yourself?"Tobias didn't remember it until Finn brought it up. He had forgotten to buy the formal attire yesterday. He checked the time and saw that there were sti

Lucy scanned Felicity from head to toe. The latter was a Faldorian. She was very pretty. Her warm smile made people feel comfortable. Lucy raised her eyebrow and said deliberately, "I'm just browsing. I might not be able to afford the stuff in your store."Felicity smiled graciously and said, "That's fine. Go ahead and browse. I can help you if you have any questions.""Alright."Lucy proceeded to point at several hair accessories. "This one and the other one. Also, the one over here."Daisy sneered and said sarcastically, "Good eye, ma'am. These items are the top-selling accessories in our store. They suit you just well—"Before she could finish, Lucy clicked her tongue. Felicity looked at the hair accessories Lucy had pointed at and said, "You made a mistake, Daisy. These accessories were part of a consignment from several years ago."Daisy gave her a sidelong glance, as if telling her to shut up. "I don't want all of these."Daisy rolled her eyes and snorted coldly. She

Tobias and Lucy got into the car. His phone rang when they were on their way to the palace. He realized that Joey was calling him, and the blissful smile on his face vanished instantly, only to be replaced by a cold expression. "Hello."Joey spoke in a seemingly concerned tone, "How are you holding up in Faldoria, Tobe? I heard from Finn that you're having trouble acclimatizing over there. You're already done with your business there. Maybe you should come home sooner—"Tobias frowned. His attitude and tone were very cold. "Get to the point."Lucy sat next to him and heard Joey's voice from the phone. She noticed his expression getting colder and reached out to hold his hand affectionately. It was as if she was giving him warmth wordlessly. In a matter of a second, Tobias' cold heart was filled with warmth by Lucy's small gesture. He turned his head sideways and flashed her a smile. Lucy smiled back at him. Back on the phone, Joey said, "Um… Here's the thing. Your dad and I ha

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
