The Shotgun Marriage: She's the Apple of His Eye Chapter 280
Tobias was on the first floor of Ripley Group. He looked troubled. He checked his watch and looked at the distance from time to time, feeling restless. For some reason, his eyelids kept twitching. He couldn't shake off the sinking feeling in his gut.All of a sudden, an explosion sounded far away. Then, a mushroom cloud rose in the air and attracted a lot of onlookers. "What happened over there?""It looks like something exploded!"Tobias didn't know why, but his heart was pounding like crazy, and his eyelids kept twitching. The sinking feeling in his gut grew more intense. For some reason, he sprinted toward the explosion without a second thought.…The truck had crashed into Lucy's car, leading to a huge explosion. Fortunately, Lucy had run away quickly. She was merely propelled by the explosion's shock wave. Then, she rolled along on the ground and passed out with blood all over her body.A lot of people gathered around to look at the accident. Some of them pointed fin

Two hours later, Miles showed up in Lucy's ward. He held a stack of documents in his hands, which he gave to Tobias. "Lucy swung by the hospital today, Tobe. She paid a visit to Ms. Hawkins. An hour later, she went into the security camera's blind spots. However, she showed up in an elevator about another hour later. Not long after, I saw your mom in the same elevator as well."Tobias frowned. "My mom?""That's right."Tobias fell into deep thought. Both Lucy and Joey appeared in the elevator one after another. He didn't have proof to claim that they met each other directly. However, from what he knew about Joey's character, he had a strong feeling that she must have something to do with Lucy's car accident.If Joey actually did something wicked to Lucy… Tobias narrowed his eyes, wrestling with himself. On one hand, there was the woman he loved; on the other, his birth mother. He might not have loved Joey, but when all was said and done, they still shared a blood relationship

Tobias washed up and got changed. When he came out, he saw that Lucy was still unconscious. It made him feel so heartbroken that he lifted the blankets and lay down next to her. At that moment, he received a text from Cedric. "Joaquin was furious that we stood him up on signing the contract today. He wanted me to pass his message on to you. "He thought you weren't serious about the contract and decided to make investments in other projects. I think we might've botched this."I had to flatter him a lot to calm him down, Tobe. I arranged to meet him three days later to sign the contract. Don't stand him up again."Tobias could relate to Joaquin's ego and his reaction. After all, the latter was a renowned investor, and he had just stood him up. It was only natural that Joaquin was upset. He thought about how Finn had already gone to Amestria. So, he should probably hear from the latter pretty soon. He responded, "Okay. Sorry for the trouble, Cedric.""There's no need for formalit

What Tobias didn't know was that Lucy had woken up not long after he left the hospital. Upon gaining consciousness, she swept her eyes across the room she was in and realized that she was in a hospital.Lucy gradually recalled that she'd had a confrontation with Joey and found out a big secret. She had been about to tell Tobias about it, but she had gotten into a car accident. Her eyes were suddenly laced with coldness. She had no idea if it had truly just been an accident or if it had been orchestrated by someone.Lucy moved a little and felt that she could use her hands and feet, but she did feel a little pain. She checked herself and saw the signs of surgery. She sighed faintly.All of a sudden, there was some sound from outside the door. For an inexplicable reason, Lucy lay back down in bed and pretended to be asleep. "Lucy Everhart…"It was a voice Lucy had never heard before. There was nothing out of the ordinary with her. On the outside, she looked like she was asleep.

Maya was about to pull Quinton away, but he wouldn't have it.He bellowed, "Let me go, Maya. There's no need for you to be afraid of this scumbag. There are a lot of reporters here. He won't have the guts to do anything to you!"Maya appeared so fragile, and she was crying as well. In a matter of seconds, she won the sympathy of most of the people there. So, more and more people started to berate Tobias.Meanwhile, Tobias glanced at Maya coldly. No warmth could be seen in his eyes. Maya continued to pull Quinton away. "Let's leave, Dad…"Tobias roared, "None of you are leaving!" His voice was chilly. "The reporters are around. Let's seize the opportunity and lay everything on the table. You came to Ripley Residence and lied about having sex with me that day. Then, you went to the hospital for a test. Is that right?"Maya looked afraid; she hadn't expected Tobias to say all of that out loud. Tobias barked impatiently, "I asked you a question. Is that right?"Maya responded f

Lucy's eyes darkened as she watched the live broadcast. She turned off the phone and sighed gently. Emily had also seen the entire broadcast. She exclaimed in shock, "Gosh! I didn't see the twist coming at all, Ms. Lucy. I can't believe the Hudson family framed Mr. Ripley. He didn't do anything wrong, but he was berated terribly online. My heart breaks for him."Lucy looked out the window at the moon and sighed again. "Tobias and I are just trying to live our lives as any ordinary married couple does. But not everything in life goes according to our wishes. We're always haunted by such ridiculous scandals."Emily asked, "Judging by your tone, do you feel distressed about it?"Lucy nodded. "Yeah. We've been running into trouble every couple of days. It's as if the more loving we are, the more it bothers them."In the past year that Lucy and Tobias had been together, they had gone through too many hurdles. If today's incidents had happened to any other couple, they might've fallen

The next day, Tobias saw that Lucy hadn't woken up. He wanted to make it easier for himself to look after Lucy. So, he moved his office to the hospital and started working there. Lucy was pretending to be unconscious, but she could hear him clacking away on the keyboard. She couldn't move a muscle, even if she wanted to. Just as she couldn't take it anymore, she heard someone knock on the door. "Come in."Kate entered the ward with a fruit basket. "Hi, Mr. Ripley. I heard that Mrs. Ripley is in the hospital. So, I brought her some fruits."Tobias saw that it was Kate and put his document aside immediately. "You didn't come alone. Did you, Kate?"Kate shook her head and pointed at the door. "I came here with Mom."That was when Millie walked in and bowed awkwardly. "Hi, Mr. Ripley. Kate kept insisting on visiting Mrs. Ripley. I'm sorry for disturbing you two."Tobias turned his gaze to the bed and sighed gently. "It's fine. She's still unconscious. Go ahead and see her."Milli

Tobias saw that Kate was crying and felt a headache coming on. He exercised his patience and said, "Stop crying. I meant it when I said I can't do that."Lucy heard what he said and had an urge to get up to knock him on his head. He treated Kate so coldly that he was freaking her out.Kate continued bawling. "My friends are going to pick on me again." She wiped her tears. Now that Tobias rejected it, she had no choice but to leave. "Wait a minute." Tobias asked, "Do you often get picked on at school?"Kate nodded. "Yeah. They called me a bastard because I don't have a dad."Lucy was at a loss for words. How was it that children these days were this sharp-tongued? She was heartbroken when she heard what Kate said.At the same time, Tobias was also furious and heartbroken. However, he had no intention of impersonating someone else's dad. Tobias held Kate's shoulders and said, "You know I'm a public figure, Kate. Everyone knows Lucy is my wife. What would everyone think if I show
