Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 1734

"I don't know anything."

Lucas instantly became serious, as if he wasn't the one Morty had just been talking and laughing with.

Morty's stomach ached in exasperation.

"Go down and get me a glass of water."

Lucas could also see that Morty was not feeling well, so he got up in a hurry and walked out.

Over the years, Morty had been in a high position and had actually had quite a few hidden illnesses, yet he could not let the outside world know. And he was only one of the few people who knew about the matter.

Seeing that Morty's face was pale and sweat was oozing from his forehead, Lucas didn't dare delay. When he got downstairs, Michele had already handed Lucas the warm water.

"My dad's stomach is acing again?"

"Yes, do you have any medicine?"

"In my room. Just wait a moment."

Michele quickly ran back to her room, and Lucas, who had always followed her in, now felt it was inappropriate. After all, he had a girlfriend now.

The corners of Lucas's lips curled up slightly at the thought of Yasmeen. But when he thought that Morty didn’t seem to be in a good mood, he stopped smiling again.

When Michele came out with the medicine, she saw Lucas standing there motionless with an indifferent look on his face. Her eyes couldn't help but darken while she felt a little bad.

"Here, I guess my dad still has something to say to you. I won't be going up."

"Okay."

Lucas nodded and took the medicine from Michele's hand, then lifted his feet and went upstairs.

Morty was already spasming from the pain, and Lucas quickly shoved the pills into his mouth before pinching his nose and pouring him a mouthful of water.

Lucas was the only person in the world who had the guts to do that to Morty.

Morty choked and coughed. He glared at Lucas, but Lucas backed off as if he hadn't seen it and sat there with a smile on his face.

Morty had a hard time calming down and said with a huff, "You've got a lot of nerve, kid. Aren't you afraid of me ..."

"No, Uncle Morty. I'm taking a holiday."

Lucas' sudden words caused Morty to freeze.

"What? You stirred up such a big mess for me, and now you're talking about taking a holiday? That hostage is now clamoring to see you. What are you going to do?" |

Lucas's brow furrowed slightly.

Penny was just looking for him because she liked him. He didn't want to bother with a patient now that he had a girlfriend.

Thinking about it, Lucas said indifferently, "The medical bills are on me. If that’s not enough, even her nutrition fees are on me and I will hire the best doctors and caregivers for her. Of the rest, I can do nothing."

"Aren't you afraid that she'll say you're despising her with your money?"

"No. What do I have to fear now?"

Lucas smiled bitterly. He could never have imagined that his military career could have gone so wrong.

But what went wrong went wrong, and he would take the blame.

"Uncle Morty, I know it's hard for you, and I know what's being said about me out there. You tell me to stay here, and I'll stay here. But will you take the people away? I promise I won't go anywhere. With all these people here, isn't it obvious to tell people I'm here?"

Lucas' comment did make Morty react instantly.

He hadn't really asked Lucas to stay here to keep him under house arrest, but to draw that man out. When he heard Lucas say that, he said with embarrassment, "I don't feel comfortable with you being here alone with your ears still deaf. How about this? Let Michele stay here with you."

"Let her go. I can't give her what she wants. Uncle Morty, I really only think of her as a sister. Even without Yasmeen in my life, she and I could never have been together. Instead of wasting time with me, you should let her go back to her post, and Edison can make her feel better."
