Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 1723

“No way!”

Yasmeen was the first to react, and she was very emotional.

She held Lucas’ hands tightly while her heart was in a frenzy.

Would he really agree to that?

Although the two of them had feelings for each other, they didn’t come out and say it just yet. Based on how well she knew Lucas, he was someone who valued responsibility very much.

If he really agreed to it, he would marry her without hesitation. And in his lifetime, he wouldn’t have anything to do with another woman anymore even though he used to love her very much.

No!

That couldn’t be!

He was too responsible to the point that he would only marry one woman his entire life. He would marry someone he loved or someone he was indebted to.

And at the moment, Penny was the one who would make Lucas feel sorry.

Yasmeen’s hands were shaking now, and a film of sweat even formed on her skin.

Lucas froze too.

He clearly see what Penny meant by reading her lips.

Marry her?

Lucas’ brows slightly furrowed.

For some reason, he was against this notion deep down in his heart.

Without thinking, Lucas spoke, “When I pulled the trigger, the robbers had thrown a bomb. My ears are hurt now, and I can’t hear things clearly at the moment. The doctor said that there might not be a day I can regain my hearing.”

Penny suddenly froze.

He was deaf?

She initially thought that she would not be worthy of Lucas, but now that she heard it from him about his condition, Penny could only feel relief in her heart.

One of them was infertile, and the other had become a deaf. They would make a good pair.

She coughed slightly while clasping her hand over her stomach. She looked like she was in pain, and there were even cold sweat on her forehead.

Her mother hastily put a pillow behind her to support her body, “Your womb was destroyed, how can you still speak so much now? Just shut it. If this man has a conscience, he would marry you even if you didn’t mention it. Otherwise, there won’t be any use for you to bring it up too. How can your life be so difficult from back then until now?”

She was saying those words with her back facing Lucas, so Lucas couldn’t understand anything. However, this was not the same for Yasmeen when she heard it.

Her face instantly became pale.

Lucas saw the colors of her face draining away and could guess that those two must have said something bad. He held her hand tight and said to Penny, “I will be responsible for your injuries, and after you are discharged, as long as I can help, I will do my best. I know that I might be giving you the cold shoulder here, and I know that normally speaking, since I’ve caused you to be unable to be a mother anymore, I should have married you. However, I am sorry to say that there is someone that I love. My wife could only be her.”

Penny was instantly stunned.

She never imagined that this handsome man in front of her would say something like that.

“You said you have someone you love, but doesn’t that hold true for me too? My boyfriend left me because of this incident! And it might be very likely that no one would marry me anymore! How are you going to make that up for me?”

She was so riled up that her wounds were affected, so she produced an agonized expression too.

Her mother felt so sorry for her daughter that tears began to fall.

She turned around and warned Lucas, “Stop provoking her, will you? She has just returned from death’s door, and her body is still weak. I know that you can understand me because you keep staring at my lips. You can understand me by reading my lips, right? You have the right to your marriage, but don’t you think my daughter has that same right too?”

Yasmeen suddenly felt a little angry. A while ago, her sympathy and compassion towards this mother and daughter tandem was now replaced by her fury. She wanted to say something, but she was pinched hard by Lucas at this moment.

So painful!

This damned man!

He was pinching her palms!

Didn’t he know that this would be so painful?
