Chapter 251

“I look like a ghost now… What’s the point of staying alive like this…? Can I even keep going…?” Layla sobbed, her voice breaking between gasps.William’s heart twisted in pain. He held onto her trembling body beneath the blanket, his arms tightening protectively. His eyes burned red. Taking a deep breath, he forced his voice to remain steady. “Layla, listen to me. You’re not going to die. You can make it through this.“I know it hurts, but you have to hold on. If you push through this, there’s hope. Trust me—things will get better.” But Layla was too lost in her own emotions to hear him. She cried, her sobs raw and gut-wrenching, until all that remained was a desperate, anguished wail echoing through the hospital room. *News of Layla’s emotional breakdown reached the doctor. By the time he rushed back from his rounds, she had already fallen into a medicated sleep. “This kind of situation is actually quite common,” the doctor said, looking at Layla with deep concern. “

Carter walked into the hospital room and immediately spotted the two people stuck in a silent standoff at the bathroom door. Curious, he asked, “Uncle William, Sis, what are you two doing?” Layla waved him over. “Perfect timing. Help me get Mr. Lucas out of here.” “Stay right there.” At William’s firm command, Carter froze on the spot, not even daring to lift a foot. Feeling torn, he suggested, “Uh… maybe you two should talk this out first?” “No need.” Without hesitation, William grabbed the wheelchair and smoothly pushed Layla into the bathroom. Layla panicked. “William Lucas! You’re being completely unreasonable!” He responded in an unhurried tone, “Letting a patient take care of herself—that would be unreasonable.” Layla was momentarily speechless. He used to be so respectful of boundaries. But lately, he was becoming more and more overbearing. Had his so-called gentlemanly behavior before all been an act? “I can do it myself.“Stay away from me.

“Even if they regret not spending more time with him, it’s too late now. Who are they trying to impress, crying so loudly? Weren’t they just as loud when they were arguing before?“Everyone knew they were doing it on purpose, making a scene so the old man would give in.”Carter had always hated how fake adults could be, and right now, he felt even more indignant on the old man’s behalf.“He’s gone…” Layla murmured, repeating the words as if in deep thought. Sensing the sudden shift in her emotions, William lifted his gaze and shot Carter a look. Carter instantly shut up. “Crap. Did I just say something I shouldn’t have?” he wondered.*Thankfully, Layla didn’t seem to dwell on the conversation. She continued her treatments and checkups as usual throughout the day. That evening, Carter returned with dinner, just as William stepped out to take a work call. He had just set the thermos down when Layla suddenly spoke. “Mrs. Lucas hasn’t gone back yet, has she?” Car

The next day, the moment William stepped out of the hospital room, Carter slipped a folded note into Layla’s hand. “Sis, I went home last night and thought about it for a long time. You rarely ask me for favors—how could I possibly say no?“This is Grandma Scarlett’s contact information. You can meet her in person or just talk over the phone, whichever you prefer. But…” Carter hesitated for a moment. “You absolutely cannot do anything else beyond that.” “Don’t worry.” Layla clenched the note tightly and smiled at him. “Would I ever set you up?” Carter didn’t reply, but internally, he was a wreck. Being a double agent was seriously exhausting. *That afternoon, William was in the living room, locked in a video meeting. Finally, Layla found the chance to message Scarlett. “Mrs. Lucas, this is Layla Xander. Do your words from before still stand?” On the other end, Scarlett received the message and scoffed under her breath. “What kind of trick is Layla up to no

Sean sniffled, then quickly composed himself. “Sorry, I lost my cool.” Scarlett, however, was unfazed. She cut straight to the point. “So what you’re saying is, if you see Layla, she’ll leave with you. Is that right?” Sean nodded without hesitation. “That’s right. William won’t let me see her because he’s afraid I’ll take her away.” Seeing how confident he was, Scarlett thought for a moment before nodding. “Good. Then I found the right person.“I’ll arrange for you to see Layla. Your job is to take her away for further treatment. I’ll keep William distracted. Whatever happens, I’ll take full responsibility. Do we have a deal?” Sean’s face lit up. “Of course! No problem at all!” “Good. Then it’s settled.” Scarlett picked up her phone and replied to Layla’s message. “I stand by what I said. What’s your plan?” Layla’s response came almost immediately. “Let’s go with what you suggested before. But it has to be done behind Mr. Lucas’s back. That part is up to you

With five days left until Thanksgiving, Carter had already returned to North City, but William remained by Layla’s bedside, just as he always did.Layla had been asleep all day. When she finally woke up, the hospital room was dim, lit only by a single warm bedside lamp. Outside the window, the night was deep and quiet. A sudden unease gripped her. She called out softly, “Mr. Lucas…” But instead of William, two men in black suits appeared. Layla’s expression darkened. “Who are you?” “Miss Xander, there’s no need to be afraid. We’re here under Mrs. Lucas’s orders. She sent us to take you out of the hospital.” One of them pushed a wheelchair forward. “Time is tight. Please come with us now.” “Where’s Mr. Lucas?” Layla blurted out without thinking. “Mrs. Lucas is keeping him busy. We don’t know how long she can hold him off.” Layla was silent for a moment, pressing down the sudden, inexplicable feeling of reluctance in her chest. Then, she nodded. “Alright, let’

Sean froze. “Layla, are you mad at me? I only ended up with Kiera because I had no choice.”“I don’t care who you’re with, or how it happened. And I’m definitely not mad about it.” Layla met his eyes head-on. “How many times do I have to say it before you finally believe we’re done?”“You chose Kiera, so be loyal to your choice. Don’t bring your fake feelings here and pretend they’re love—it’s disgusting.”With that, she turned to the two bodyguards in black, her voice sharp with displeasure. “Where’s Mrs. Lucas? Don’t tell me even this man was part of her plan?”“Layla, Mrs. Lucas asked me to bring you—”“I’d rather die than go with you!” Layla’s tone suddenly turned fierce. Her eyes stayed fixed on the guards. “Go ask Mrs. Lucas yourself—if she doesn’t want me dying in her hands, she’d better make sure this man disappears from my sight.”The two bodyguards exchanged uneasy glances. This wasn’t what Mrs. Lucas had told them to expect. “Layla, don’t be like t

Layla waited over an hour before Scarlett Lucas finally showed up.Scarlett walked in with a sour expression. “Why won’t you go with Sean? You haven’t even known William that long, and now you’re changing your heart already?”She stepped closer, her tone turning sharp. “Or maybe…” Scarlett narrowed her eyes. “Don’t think just because William made his feelings public that you actually stand a chance. Let me tell you, the Lucas family isn’t some place any random girl can marry into.”Hearing once again about William’s so-called confession, Layla looked completely confused. “What are you all talking about? What confession?”Scarlett blinked, stunned. “The entire world knows about it—how could you not? Don’t play dumb with me. You—”“Everyone knows?” Layla’s face was filled with genuine surprise—not a trace of pretense. Scarlett frowned. “You mean you didn’t know Chris came to the hospital to see you?”“He came to see me?” Layla looked puzzled. Scarlett fell s

“Mrs. Lucas!” Sean called out, but Scarlett didn’t stop. He clenched his jaw in frustration, teeth grinding. He couldn’t let Layla stay with the Lucases—not a chance. *As night fell, Scarlett arrived at Layla’s room with a full medical team behind her. She nodded to the guards at the door, who promptly opened it.“Layla, it’s time to go.”But when she stepped inside, her eyes immediately scanned the room and froze. Layla was gone.“Layla Xander!”Scarlett stormed around the room, checking every corner, then spun around and shouted at the guards outside. “Where is she?! Where did she go?!”One of the guards looked completely panicked. “She… wasn’t she in the room this whole time?”“Open your damn eyes! Do you see her anywhere? What, you think a terminally ill woman just vanished into thin air?!” Scarlett was fuming.Then the guard slapped his forehead like he just remembered something. “Right! It must’ve been Mr. Perry!”“What?!”“About half an hour ago, h

Chapter 260

Under everyone’s stunned gaze, William took out a diamond ring and slipped it onto Layla’s left ring finger.Scarlett was the first to react. She snapped, “William, have you lost your mind?!”She muttered under her breath, “Proposing to someone who's dying? Are you seriously planning to throw your whole life away?”William stood up slowly and said, “I’ve never been more clearheaded.”That night when Layla broke down and sobbed that she wanted to die, he had never felt so terrified in his life. In that moment, he had made up his mind. No matter life or death, he would marry her.He turned to Scarlett, his voice calm and steady. “She reached out to you a while ago to ask for your help leaving, didn’t she?”His gaze was sharp and composed, like a strategist revealing the final move in a game he had been controlling from the very start.Scarlett’s eyes widened. “You knew?”A realization struck her, and her fury rose again. “I knew she wasn’t up to anything good!
