Lucy guided Lisa to the bed and covered her with a blanket.

"Rest well, Mom."

"Lulu." Lisa held her hand and asked, "Where did you train medically?"

Lucy said, "Mom, I learned it from my mentor but wasn't interested in medical studies. My mentor forced me to learn it, so I learned a thing or two."

Brett and Rhett looked at each other, flabbergasted. Lucy was being too humble. She could cure an illness that had been around for decades in a few days.

She would be a miracle doctor if word got out. Yet, she said it was only a thing or two that she learned.

Lisa remarked, "Lulu, being too humble is also prideful. You are so skilled medically. Treating your infertility should be a piece of cake."

Lucy blushed and said, "Mom, I'm not being prideful. I'm telling the truth. My mentor forced me to take medical studies. My theoretical knowledge of the subject is poor. If I want to treat my infertility, I would need to flip a book for reference from my mentor."

Lucy appeared humble, but n

    Lucy fell into a deep slumber. She wouldn't have woken up if Lisa didn't enter her room to call for her.Lisa said with concern, "Lulu, are you exhausted? You've slept the whole afternoon. How are you going to sleep tonight?"Lucy's voice was fragile, barely carrying any strength. "I'm okay, Mom. I think I've caught a cold. I feel weak and tired."Lisa said, "I've asked someone to get some medication for your cold. You should come and have dinner. Once you have food, you can sleep after taking the medication."Lucy thought about it and nodded. "Okay."Lucy held Lisa's hand and said gently, "Mom, what do you want to eat tonight? I'll make dinner for you."Lisa held her hand and said, "You have a cold now. I couldn't bear to let you make dinner. I'll ask the helper to prepare our meal. Why don't you watch TV with me in the living room?""Okay."Lucy and Lisa sat on the sofa in the living room while the helper prepared their dinner in the kitchen. The current trending family drama

    Lisa knew Lucy was infertile, but after witnessing Lucy's exaggerated reaction to meat, she was convinced Lucy was pregnant."Lulu, why don't we get you checked at the hospital?"Lucy thought Lisa was overthinking it. She went to prison to ask Rosa. Rosa mentioned that Lucy would never get pregnant again after consuming the infertility drug, so Lucy thought she must have gotten a cold.However, Lucy didn't want to upset Lisa and said, "Don't worry, Mom. Don't forget that I know medicine. If I'm pregnant, I will surely be able to know from my pulse." Lisa thought about it and said, "You're right. Remember to check your pulse after dinner."Lucy hummed in assent. She held Lisa's hand and said, "Mom, let me bring you to the dining room."Lucy guided Lisa to the dining room. When she saw the food on the table, she lost her appetite. Then, she received a call from an unknown number.Lucy hesitated for a moment and answered it. "Hello.""Hi, is this Mrs. Ripley? I'm Avery. Mr. R

    Millie cooperated with the hospital staff and allowed them to get a blood sample from Kate again. Lucy passed Tobias' blood sample to the doctor. When everything was done, it was slightly past 9:00 pm."Please return to collect the DNA report in ten days," the doctor said.Lucy looked at Millie, who looked down. Lucy said, "Thank you for the trouble, Ms. Robertson. I'll ask Avery to send you home."As Lucy spoke, they arrived at the entrance of the hospital. Avery was waiting for them by the car.He opened the car door. "After you."Millie felt awkward. "It's okay. We can call a cab. There's no need to trouble you, Mrs. Ripley."Lucy didn't insist and said, "Sure." Then, she got into the car, and Avery drove away.As Lucy left, Millie stared at her car blankly. Kate remarked, "Mom, Mrs. Ripley isn't as fond of me anymore since everyone knows I am Mr. Ripley's daughter."Millie rubbed Kate's head and smiled wryly. "Let's go."Who would treat an illegitimate child well? Lucy did

    Tobias' voice was laced with disappointment. Lucy felt guilty. "Darling."Lucy held her phone and said coyly, "I've overlooked the crucial point of this matter, but I've regained my clarity now. I've been discreetly investigating this. "Any other woman would have flipped out on you if they were in the same situation. You are a gracious and forgiving man. Please don't be angry at me anymore."Lucy hardly acted coy with Tobias. Her voice was sweet and high-pitched, tickling Tobias' ears. Tobias snorted. "No, I'm still furious. If you don't make it up to me when I return, I'll find someone else."Lucy stomped her feet. "Don't you dare!"Tobias snorted. "I'm just teasing you. I wouldn't dare!"He smiled and softened his tone. "I'm hanging up. Get on a video call with me!"Lucy instantly blushed as she recalled what Tobias had said suggestively the last time. She hummed in assent and called Tobias on video. Tobias quickly answered. Tobias was in the car. He saw Lucy through

    Hannah Lane?When Tobias heard her name, he instinctively looked at Hannah. Images of Anna surfaced in his mind.However, Anna and Hannah looked nothing alike.After observing her through the rearview mirror, Tobias realized how similar Hannah looked compared to Lucy. If he looked closer, she looked like Lucy's long-lost sister.Tobias frowned, feeling unsettled by Hannah's sudden appearance.However, he contemplated longer. Why would Hannah, a stranger, be unsettling for him? He must have been overthinking it.Tobias drove Hannah to the hospital.After the doctor checked on her, he said, "There is a fracture on the right leg that needs to be cast. We'll remove the cast in a month and check on the condition of the fracture."Hannah said, "Thank you, doctor."After the doctor left, Hannah said, "Sir, you must take full responsibility for the hospital fees. Plus, you need to compensate for the mental distress you've caused me."Tobias was annoyed and said, "You can contact my l

    "Get lost!" Brett yelled in fury at Maya's sudden hug.He pushed her away. Maya swayed and fell on the sofa. She held her stomach, looking pale."Maya, you disgust me!" Brett said, "Do you think you can use the baby to enter the Eberhard family? Think again! If you don't get rid of the baby, I'll sue you for plotting against me."Then, he turned, ready to leave.Maya chased after him and hugged Brett's leg, pleading, "Brett, I beg you. I've been convicted. If you sue me, you'll add to the crimes I'm paying for!"Maya cried out, "My hands were tied too. I've been mistreated in the Hudson family, and I did those things because someone forced me to. I only have my eyes for you… I know you don't like me, but I beg you. Please let me keep this baby, okay?"Brett said indifferently, "Get lost! You decided to plot against me because of your own misfortune? Isn't it equally unfortunate for me that you've plotted against me? Why should I pity you?"Brett shoved Maya aside and left. Her f

    They arrived at Larkhaven after a day's drive. Then, they spent another half of the day hiking before they arrived at Benedict's house. He was Lucy's mentor.Misty clouds shrouded the mountains. A house sat among the trees like a land one could only see in fairytales. A light floral fragrance permeated the air, bringing a sense of joy to everyone."Mr. Jones!" Lucy shouted. Benedict, who was watering his flowers in his garden, heard her voice and realized Lucy was standing at the entrance of his home with three other people."Lucy!" Benedict greeted her with joy. "I see you've brought your parents."Lucy had previously called Benedict to inform him about her parents' visit, so Benedict was not surprised to see two elderly folks beside Lucy.Lucy nodded. "Yes."Lucy introduced, "Mom, Dad, Rhett. This is my mentor, Benedict Jones.""Mr. Jones. " Lucy continued her introduction. "This is my mom, dad, and brother."She introduced each of them. Benedict sized each of them up as Lucy

    Lucy and Benedict arrived at the vegetable garden. It was autumn, and a variety of vegetables were planted in the garden. The two of them picked vegetables while engaging in conversation.Lucy said, "Pops, why did you treat my family so poorly? They are going to misunderstand you. Can you be more easygoing with them?"Benedict retorted, "Do I need to be easygoing?"Lucy was rendered speechless. She rolled her eyes. "Yes, you are stubborn and feel no need to care for how other people feel. However, they are my family. I am your mentee, so my family is your family. Can't you be more kind to them?"Benedict snorted and did not respond to her. He ordered in a demanding tone, "Pick the vegetables. I have something to handle."Lucy shrugged. "Okay."Benedict lived alone in the mountains. He grew his own vegetables for food, planted many herbs, and raised animals at the back of the mountain. As Lucy was picking the vegetables, Benedict went to the back of the mountain and returned aft

    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
