Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 1722

Lucas read Yasmeen’s message, and he was a little dumbfounded.

She claimed that she was behaving well all those years by his side?

As expected, she was still the Yasmeen he knew!

He didn’t know why, but all of a sudden Lucas broke into laughter. That faint curve at the end of his lips was so mesmerising that all of the scenery around him paled in comparison.

He was handsome, and he knew this for a fact.

He had inherited Samuel’s good looks, and he also had Nicole’s icy cold demeanor. It was just that all along, he didn’t think that his good features would bestow upon him any advantage or pride, but at this moment, he suddenly felt a consolation in his heart.

This Yasmeen was someone who went after appearances!

However, his smile didn’t persist. Upon recalling the fact about that girl being hurt by him, Lucas immediately felt something heavy in her heart.

At this moment, Yasmeen was so furious that she was going to blame this on him, but he couldn’t spare any time to entertain her. That girl was just getting discharged from the Intensive Care Unit, and she was in the same hospital as him too. No matter what, he had to go visit her.

When he thought of this, Lucas got up to head to that girl’s ward.

There was a breathing machine being plugged on to her, and a middle-aged woman was just beside her. Due to lengthy exposure to sunlight doing the farm works, this middle-aged woman had dark skin. This woman was sobbing silently beside the girl.

He heard that the father of this girl had long passed away in a car accident when she was still a baby. It was this mother who had raised her with much difficulty, but now that such an unwarranted disaster had fallen on her daughter, which practically ruined her life from now on…

A trace of agony flashed by in Lucas’ eyes.

He knocked on the door, and the woman opened it. She seemed a little caught off guard when she saw Lucas.

“You are…”

“I’m sorry, Lady, I am the sniper who was tasked with the responsibility to protect the hostage, I…”

Before Lucas could finish, a loud slap rang in his ears. The woman had slapped him on his cheeks, and she was so angry that her body was shaking non-stop.

“You still dare to show your face? You have caused my daughter to be in such a state, and you still have the nerve to come! How can you be a sniper and be sent on a mission when you don’t have good skills? This is a human life we are talking about here! Do you know that my daughter can’t give birth anymore in the future? Do you know how cruel does that sound for a girl?”

The woman was shaking uncontrollably.

Lucas couldn’t make out what she was trying to say as he couldn’t follow her talking speed, but he knew for a fact that she wouldn’t be complimenting him. For a mother who lived side by side with her daughter, what had happened was even more cruel than taking her life.

“I’m sorry.”

Lucas lowered his head while he felt his cheeks stinging. He knew that his cheeks were beginning to swell, but what else could he do?

Would killing him bring back what was lost?

“I will take care of her!”

“You’re going to take care of her? Who are you to take care of my daughter? Do you think you’re that great just because you’re loaded with money? Do you think the lives of the poor could be measured using money? Why don’t you just drop dead? Why didn’t the kidnappers just kill you at that time?”

The woman was so angry that she was starting to throw her fists and legs at him.

It was way easier for Lucas to dodge her, but he didn’t do that.

He was indeed indebted to this girl and this family!

The woman continued to bash Lucas like crazy, which was coincidentally saw by Yasmeen who had just arrived.

Yasmeen immediately felt a pain in her heart when she saw the man she loved getting beaten by a mad woman.

That woman was even scratching Lucas’ face, which left a few bloody marks. Yasmeen was upset and furious upon seeing that.

“What are you doing?”

Yasmeen initially wanted to push this woman away, but when she thought about the person staying in this house, she retracted her hands at the last moment and instead throw herself in front of Lucas. She exposed her back to that woman.

“You only know that she has accidentally hurt your daughter, but you never know about his heroics in saving countless lives in the past. Do you think that he should be condemned just because of a single mistake? He’s a man, not a god!”

Yasmeen’s eyes were stinging with tears.

The man he was hugging and protecting had such eye-catching and staggering bloody scratch marks on his cheeks, and they were like knives which were poking at her.

Lucas never deserved this in the first place.

He could complete that mission perfectly!

It was all because of her!

Yasmeen felt very sorry in her heart.
