The Shotgun Marriage: She's the Apple of His Eye Chapter 76
Tobias drove back to the hospital and headed to Lucy's hospital room. "As soon as he entered the room, he said, "I'm back, babe. You said you wanted dessert, right? I bought you something. Come and have a taste."But Lucy was nowhere in sight."Babe?" Tobias looked around. Thinking she was in the bathroom, he knocked on the door. There was no response."Where is she? I told her not to run around! Her phone's here, so I guess she hasn't gone far…" he muttered.He waited for over ten minutes, but she didn't return. For some reason, he couldn't stop feeling anxious and worried. He was restless and couldn't bring himself to sit down.When he couldn't wait any longer, he went to the nurse's counter and asked, "Have you seen my wife?"One of the nurses said, "A doctor took Mrs. Ripley to get a test done.""A test?" Tobias frowned. He headed to the doctor's office to check on things, but the doctor merely gave him a confused look. He claimed he hadn't asked anyone to take Lucy for an

Meanwhile, at Ripley Residence, Joey paced restlessly. When her phone rang, she answered it anxiously. "How did it go? Have you dealt with Lucy?""I was one step too late, Mrs. Ripley. She'd already been abducted when I got there!""Abducted?" Joey's eyes lit up. "So, someone else wants to take her out! This is even better than I expected. Tobias won't suspect I have anything to do with this!"She had hired someone to get rid of Lucy, but it looked like someone else had beaten her to it. She ordered, "Find a way to contact the abductor. Pay him more money and tell him to kill her!"Joey couldn't help being pleased with her intelligence.…Brett and Rhett were at the hospital to care for Anna. When she woke up, she started crying. "Why did you save me? You should've just let me die…""What's so great about the Ripley dude, Anna? Don't be so hung up on him. There's plenty of fish in the sea!""No, I won't marry anyone but him! If you guys aren't willing to help me, just let me di

Lucy was left alone in the room after Fred went to see Chad. She was scared but put up a calm front. When she didn't see any surveillance cameras after gazing around the room, she pulled out the key she had taken from Chad earlier and held it in her hand.Her gaze landed on some candles, and her gaze flickered as she thought of something. Ignoring the pain in her belly, she approached the candles and lit them. Then, she dripped the wax onto a piece of glass.Throughout this process, she kept glancing nervously at the door, afraid that someone would suddenly burst in. When she was almost done, she heard footsteps ring out.It scared her, and she quickly tucked the glass with the wax under her shirt. The wax was still hot, so it burned her when it came into contact with her skin. She hissed in pain.At that moment, the door swung open. Lucy hadn't had time to clean up the table and was so nervous that she could barely breathe. It took all her willpower to pretend to be unaffected

After Lucy went missing, Tobias immediately contacted his friend, Miles Chadwick, for help. Miles was a young and renowned police inspector. He was handsome and capable.Tobias asked urgently, "Haven't you found anything yet, Miles?"With every minute that passed, his heart felt like it was being torn to shreds.Miles said, "The situation's different this time, Tobias. Lucy didn't have any electronics on her when she got abducted, so we can't track her down just yet."Tobias slammed a hand on the table. "Damn it! I don't care what you guys do; you have to find her as soon as possible!"He had used so much force that the table splintered. His knuckles started bleeding. Miles stopped him and said, "Calm down. We have other ways of finding her!""Like what?" Tobias grabbed his shoulder in agitation."As long as she's appeared on any of the surveillance cameras on the streets, the system can identify her within three seconds. Then, we can track her down and save her."Tobias' gaze

Meanwhile, Martin and Rosa were worried about Lucy when they couldn't reach her. They sought Sienna and Faith out to ask them about her. The two women were shocked when they found out that Lucy was unreachable."Wait, you can't reach Lucy? Don't panic. I'll call her." Sienna dialed Lucy's number."We've already tried countless times. We can't get through to her!"Sure enough, Sienna found that Lucy's phone had been powered off.Faith said, "Maybe she's at Ripley Residence. Why don't we try asking Tobias?""I don't have his number," Sienna said."Shaun's an entrepreneur, isn't he? Call him and ask him. He should have Tobias' number."Sienna parted her lips. She didn't want to call Shaun."Oh, come on. Stop dilly-dallying! What if Lucy's in danger?" Faith snapped.That made Sienna spring to action. Lucy's safety meant more to her than her pride. She immediately called Shaun. It rang a couple of times before a woman answered it. "Hello?"Sienna's heart felt like it had been stab

During the press conference, Tobias announced that the Ripley and Eberhard families would form an alliance through a political marriage. The news shocked the world!…That night, Chad carried Lucy to the dining table and helped her settle in her seat. "The doctor said you can't move around on your own for now, so I'll carry you wherever you want to go from now on, okay?"She suppressed her repulsion and feigned obedience as she said, "Okay."He laughed tenderly at the sight of that. "Eat. I asked the kitchen to prepare a meal that's catered to a pregnant woman's nutrition.""Thanks." She lowered her head and started eating, but it was like she was chewing cardboard.After dinner, Chad carried her to the living room and placed her on the couch. Throughout the whole thing, Lucy acted like a distraught doll. Her hands and feet were chained, and her skin was bruised from the friction.Chad pulled her into his arms and turned on the TV, deliberately choosing a news channel so they

A dog barked. Faith put her things away, looking alert when she saw a burly man approach with a dog. He asked, "Who are you? What are you doing there?"Sienna cried out in surprise when she saw the dog. It barked at her, looking like it was going to charge at her and bite her. Faith immediately stood before her. Then, the dog pounced at them.Sienna screamed while Faith grabbed a thick branch and swung it around wildly to scare the dog. "You'd better keep your dog on a tight leash! We're just here for a hike. How dare you set your dog on us?""A hike?" The burly man pulled the dog back and appraised them. "You're hiking in the middle of nowhere and at night?""Heh. We've always been in the habit of hiking at night; who would've expected to see a villa here? How much does it cost to stay here for the night, buddy? Can we spend a night here?"The man snapped, "In your dreams. This is private property, and outsiders aren't allowed entry. If you don't leave, I'll get my dog to bite yo

A group of police officers quietly surrounded the hills around Chad's villa. Chad had no idea danger was approaching. All he knew was that Lucy had locked the door when he tried to return to the bedroom. "Open up, Lucy!""I'm already in bed. Go sleep somewhere else," Lucy said. At the same time, she tried to speed up what she was doing. She had already duplicated the shape of the chains' key earlier. All she had to do now was recreate it.Chad got a little angry. "Open the door now, Lucy! Let me in!"He tried to break in. Lucy said, "Don't force your way in. You've already chained my hands and feet, haven't you? Do you think I can go anywhere like this?"He thought about it and found her to be right. "Fine, then. I'll let you off the hook tonight!"He turned and left. Unbeknownst to him, a figure flashed past as soon as his back was turned.It was Tobias, who was dressed in dark attire from head to toe. He'd sneaked into the villa, but there were too many rooms. He could only

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
