F1 Champion's Perfect Crash: When Love Takes The Final Turn novel Chapter 77

I couldn't quite fathom Lukas's reaction, but I chose honesty. "Ava."

Observing my unease around the two men, Anthony intervened with a timely inquiry. "Aurelia, who are these two?"

"This is the CEO of Strakovski Jewelry, Mr Strakovski, and the injured gentleman is his friend." I glanced at Anthony and swiftly explained.

Upon hearing my introduction, Elias arched an eyebrow, and his gaze unconsciously shifted to Lukas. He wondered why I appeared unfamiliar with them, considering I and Lukas had already obtained our marriage certificate.

I paid no heed to Elias's reaction and calmly introduced Anthony. "Mr Strakovski, Mr. Schmidt, this is the director of Rivers Health Medical Center, Director Rivers."

Calm and collected, Lukas extended his hand toward Anthony. "Ah, Director Rivers, your name has reached my ears long before our meeting."

Anthony shook hands with Lukas. "The same goes for you, Mr Strakovski. Your reputation obvious precedes mine."

Their handshake was brief but impactful.

"If Director Rivers ever takes an interest in jewelry design, you're welcome at Strakovski." Lukas looked at Anthony squarely as he spoke.

Anthony responded with a smile, "I'll keep that in mind. And naturally, if anyone from Mr Strakovski's family requires medical treatment, they are welcome at Rivers Health Medical Center. I'll ensure they receive the best care from our finest doctors."

A flicker of amusement played on my lips. I sensed a depth to Anthony that went beyond his polished demeanor.

Lukas, however, chose not to respond to Anthony's offer.

On the other hand, Elias displayed his discontent. "Is that how you talk to people? Wishing them to hurt and then come to the hospital for treatment?!"

Anthony gazed at Elias with minimal alteration in his expression. "Ah, my words were a tad clumsy. My apologies. What I intended was that life's journey contains highs and lows, and certain circumstances are inescapable. Should someone find themselves in need of hospital care, I'd extend my assistance, especially when Miss Lopez graces us with her presence."

I didn't expect Anthony to be gentle and kind, yet also sharp-tongued in his speech.

In response, Elias coldly snorted, which was met with a glance devoid of any emotion from Lukas. Elias wisely decided to stay quiet.

I didn't know why but sensed that Lukas was displeased.

I chose not to dwell on it. "Mr Strakovski, Mr. Schmidt, if there's nothing else, I'll go see Ava with Director Rivers."

Lukas remained silent, his face cold.
