Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 1718

A trace of panic flashed through Yasmeen’s eyes, but shortly she covered it.

“What are you talking about, Lucas?”

“Stop pretending. Yasmeen, I thought you’ve changed better in the past years. It turned out it was just my illusion. You are still the arrogant, willful daughter from the Shaw family without caring about others’ feelings, aren’t you?”

Lucas shook off Yasmeen, feeling a slight pang in his heart.

In the past several years, Yasmeen had been graceful and gentle. She treated others with good manners and was exceptionally hard-working. For the sake of the Green and the Bradford families, he had to take care of her after she came here to study.

In the beginning, Lucas refused to do so. Later, he found that they could get along well, and he gradually had a crush on her. After all, they had a lot of hobbies in common. However, he kept wondering why she had appeared in the place where he carried on his mission.

An ordinary person wouldn’t be able to get up there.

Lucas didn’t want to wonder if Yasmeen had anything to do with that terrorist because he wouldn’t be able to face that hostage as soon as he thought about it.

He was highly shocked, so he was entirely focused on Yasmeen, who showed up on the scene all of a sudden.

Lucas recalled what he was thinking at that time.

He was worried that Yasmeen would be found by others.

Hence, he hadn’t heard clearly what the kidnapper said. When Yasmeen was almost exposed in his colleagues’ sight, he pulled the trigger in a hurry. Since he wasn’t concentrated, he didn’t calculate the distance and the wind direction accurately, so the kidnapper grabbed the hostage to block his bullet in a panic.

The hostage was only twenty-three years old.

Due to his absent mind, his bullet went through the hostage’s womb. She wouldn’t become a mother all her life.

That was the first time in his career that he missed the target. However, it ruined a girl’s life.

Lucas didn’t deny his mistake. Probably, God also wanted to blame him, so the kidnapper threw a bomb at him. He dodged it, but his eardrums were injured. Now he was deaf.

Since he woke up until now, he kept wondering why Yasmeen had shown up there.

Yasmeen had a particular identity. She should know what consequences there would be when she was found at the scene. Any clear thinking person would avoid it. Besides, the scene was already surrounded by the military force and the police. No one else could enter, but Yasmeen had entered.

He had known her for so many years, so Lucas didn’t think he had mistaken her.

Moreover, the trace of panic in Yasmeen’s eyes just now also took away the last hope in his heart.

“What’s your relationship with that terrorist?” Lucas asked.

He gazed at Yasmeen without a blink, hoping to find some clues from her expression and eyes.

The aggressive aura emanated from him made Yasmeen feel so hard to breathe. Sweat oozed in her palms. However, she bit her bottom lip without uttering any word.

She knew that she had harmed him.

When he pulled the trigger, she knew that she had made the trouble to Lucas.

She didn’t want to cause such a problem, but...

“Tell me. What’s your relationship with him?”

Lucas suddenly grabbed her shoulders. His gorgeous eyes were reddish, looking so horrible.

His fingers were like iron hooks, and they sank into Yasmeen’s flesh. The pain made her pale, but she still didn’t utter any sound. Lucas increased his strength, and she could feel how much he wished to crush her bones.
