A Perfect Lie Hides Behind My Billionaire Marriage novel Chapter 155

Anthony's eyes bore a clear hostility as he glared at Lukas.

Reese felt a sense of helplessness as she observed Anthony's demeanor. She realized that Anthony was likely just concerned about her well-being.

She was afraid that Anthony would say something she shouldn't in front of Lukas, so Reese quickly intervened, attempting to explain the situation. "Dr. Rivers, Mr. Strakovski came specifically to check up on me after learning about my car accident."

She then turned to Lukas and clarified, "Dr. Rivers was aware of my accident and arranged for me to have a thorough examination ahead of time."

Upon hearing this, Lukas maintained an expression devoid of warmth as he responded, "In that case, I appreciate your concern, Dr. Rivers."

Anthony's usual composed demeanor took on a somber tone as he stated, "Reese was involved in Alexa's car accident."

Lukas also seemed to notice something as he took a step forward, instinctively placing himself between Reese and Anthony. "If that's the case, it doesn't seem relevant to Dr. Rivers. His responsibility lies in saving lives and aiding the injured." He calmly stated.

Anthony's expression turned even more serious. "Lukas, some people are constantly creating chaos and causing harm, despite my best efforts."

Lukas raised an eyebrow, his expression cold and impersonal: "Is that so? In that case, I guess all of them are dead, and there's no need for you to save the dead and help the injured."

Anthony's face grew strained. "Lukas, you're admitting to it."

Reese swiftly interjected, addressing Anthony to prevent the situation from escalating. "Dr. Rivers…"

She was worried that Anthony and Lukas might engage in a confrontation due to a lack of evidence.

Anthony was taken aback, shooting an angry look at Reese and noticing her concern.

He took a deep breath and stared at Lukas with a gloomy expression. "Mr. Strakovski's perspective might be a bit extreme. I would recommend considering a visit to a psychiatrist." He said, his tone more biting.

Lukas sneered. "I've held this perspective since childhood, and I've never seen a psychiatrist. Yet, I'm still living a thriving life." He replied, his tone laden with indifference.

Anthony laughed sarcastically, "I hope you can continue to live a good life without any psychological burden in the future." He said.

Lukas retorted with a cold snort, not taking Anthony's remarks to heart. "I haven't done anything wrong, so I don't carry any psychological burden." He said.

When Reese saw these two going toe-to-toe, she hurriedly stopped Anthony from continuing to speak.

"Dr. Rivers, I’m going home now. If anything happens, I’ll let you know." She interrupted.

Anthony hesitated, wanting to say more but ultimately refrained from targeting Lukas further. "Then be careful on your way, I won't see you off." He said.

With a nod, Reese quickly ushered Ava and turned to leave.

Lukas maintained a stern gaze on Anthony, who met his glare head-on.

Lukas snorted and then turned to follow Reese.

Seeing the bandage on her forehead, he recalled his own regretful actions outside the operating room. He felt a pang of unease.

Clearing his throat, he asked, "How serious is your forehead injury? What did the doctor say?"

Reese met his gaze and replied, "It's not too severe—just a minor bruise and slight concussion. Nothing major."

Lukas hummed and said nothing more.

Reese flinched this time and didn't open her mouth to ask anything more.

However, those words of Anthony were still tossed around in her head.

Back at Hill Crest One Residence, she entered her room and took a shower, but she didn't feel like sleeping at all.

She felt that she would definitely not be able to sleep tonight if she didn't get to the bottom of this matter.

She went downstairs and drank a cup of water to bolster her resolve. She intended to go find Lukas and demand clarity.

When she put down the cup and turned around, she saw Lukas standing at the entrance of the stairs, looking at her, his face devoid of any emotion.
