Chapter 762
A Life Debt Repaid
Because of that⦠the entire Lynd family turned up at the hospital.
They were anxious about Nanaâs sudden attack.
Because of Nanaâs condition, she has always been heavily doted upon in the Lynd family. Everyone indulged her every whim and fancy.
âWhat happened, Nana? Youâve only returned to the capital for a few months, yet youâve been sent to the emergency room twice!â Jean said reprovingly, but her eyes were filled with genuine concern.
âI have no idea, either.â Nana shook her head, putting on her image of the obedient girl she had always been.
âPerhaps you really arenât suited for the capital after all. I was just thinking that you should settle down in the capital instead of migrating overseas after getting married to Lucas, since I might miss you too much,â Jean said helplessly. âBut now, it seems like sending you overseas might be a better idea?â
Nana looked silently at Lucas, as if seeking his opinion.
Lucas came back with the intention of expanding the business, although he was still under probation during this period.
Jean followed Nanaâs line of sight and also turned to Lucas with a smile.â Lucas loves you so much, Iâm sure heâll go wherever you go. Isnât that right, Lucas?â
Lucas did not immediately respond to her.
Jean went on, âIf you hadnât returned to the capital, Lucas might not even have come back.â
âIs that so?â Nana pushed Lucas for a confirmation.
Lucas pursed his lips. âYeah.â
Back then, aside from Nana who was indeed a reason for his return to the capital, another reason was also that the market showed great growth potential.
âThen, if I want you to go abroad with me now, will you?â Nana looked ardently at Lucas.
âYour health is a priority right now. Focus on recuperating and weâll talk about this next time.â Lucas did not give her a direct answer.
Disappointment flooded Nanaâs eyes.
Jean could naturally sense how upset her granddaughter was, but to avoid making things more awkward, she decided to let things go and change the subject to lighten the atmosphere.
It was only until when Jean was about to leave that she singled Lucas out for a chat outside the ward.
âLucas, are there issues between you and Nana?â Jean cut to the chase.
Old is indeed gold. At one glance, she could sense the difference in the air between the two of them.
Lucas kept quiet, a silent admission to Jeanâs guess.
But he did not want to explain too much.
âAs an old woman, I really shouldnât interfere in the matters of the heart between you youngsters. But you know Nanaâs health isnât the best and she cant withstand any blows. Back then, when you decided to be with her, you shouldâve been prepared for this, that you cant afford to hurt her your entire life,â
Jean said firmly. âI donât care whoâs right or wrong in this case. Whatever it is, I donât want to see Nana upset.â
âWhat happens in our relationship should remain between the two of us,â Lucas said curtly.
He was showing respect to her as his elder by not flaring up at her meddling in their affairs.
But at the same time, he did not want to compromise on his own principles just because of Jeanâs domineering aura.
âI donât care about other people, perhaps even my other grandchildren, but not Nana. Her health condition means that sheâs fated to be under my protection. If you hurt her, Iâll make sure you wonât be able to survive in the capital!â Jean said emphatically as she issued her threat.
Lucas looked fearlessly at her.
âOf course, I donât ever wish to see things end up like that between us,â Jean didnât need Lucasâ
agreement and simply left him with a final warning. âTreat Nana well.â
