Chapter 514
Betrayal At the Altar by Dolores Delia
Chapter 514 Rachel frowned slightly and comforted him, âBear with it for a while.â Lucas wanted to brag, but the moment his wound had contact with the disinfectant, he couldnât help but gasp, âTsk, that old man is ruthless!â
Rachel didnât say anything while she continued to treat his wound.
Lucasâs veins on his forehead popped out a little when the disinfectant was applied to the incision on his back. He looked up at Rachel and asked, âArenât you curious at all?â
âDonât move,â Rachel said coldly.
Lucas straightened his posture and rested his upper body on the chair back to make it easier for Rachel to apply the medication.
Her hands didnât stop moving. Her techniques were clean and neat as if she had practiced this a thousand times.
âDid you really just accept the little benefit David gave you?â
Rachel looked at the hideous wounds on Lucasâs body and couldnât help but frown.
Lucas was a wild and unruly child. Tom had him chastised by Old Mr. Johnson in an effort to shape his character.
However, Lucas still lacked the requisite convergent skills.
She remembered that once, Lucas had beaten up the eldest son of the Windward family in order to stand up for her. It was said that his leg had yet to recover.
Old Mr. Johnson was so enraged that he ended up physically assaulting Lucas over the incident. Lucas clenched his teeth and refused to make a sound while he was being cruelly beaten with a whip, maintaining his stance that he had committed no mistakes.
Later, she sneaked into Lucasâs room in the middle of the night to sneak him. some food.
She happened to bump into Tom.
Tom, who had never shown any emotion before, did so for the first time at that moment, revealing his eyes to be filled with sadness. He sighed faintly and told her, âDonât think that your grandfather is being too hard on Lucas. He knows what heâs doing.
Besides, we owe the Windward family an explanation.â
Judging from Lucasâs wound, the old man obviously did not show any mercy. If he had only accepted Davidâs R&D team, Old Mr.
Johnson wouldnât have been so angry.
âIâm your brother! Blood is thicker than water! No matter how much of a bas*ard I am, I wonât sell my own sister out!â Lucas suddenly sat up, turned around, and glared at her angrily. âYouâre actually accusing me? Rachel, cross your heart and tell me, have I ever done anything wrong in my life?â
Before he could finish speaking, Rachel pushed him back down and retorted, âI just find this strange. Why would grandpa be so angry over such a trivial matter?â
âSpeaking of which, Iâm also curious,â Lucas said. âCurrently, all the signs point to grandpa strongly opposing you being with David.ââ
Rachel raised her eyebrows slightly, glanced at him calmly, and asked, âSo?â
Lucas said, âI think you might want to reconsider it...â
Before he could finish, Rachel suddenly pressed hard on his wound. Lucas was in so much pain that he broke out in cold sweat.
He couldnât help but gasp, âDamn it, are you trying to murder your own brother?â
âIâm sorry. I was a little too rough.â Rachel looked at him and apologized with a fake smile.
Lucas knew that Rachel was deliberately taking revenge just now. He pursed his lips and couldnât help but continue his words, âToday, David said out loud that he would marry you in front of others just to support you. If this news gets out, you wonât know what youâre facing.â
âLetâs not talk about other things first. Instead, letâs talk about the remaining three families. If they find out about your relationship with David, youâll be a stepping stone in their eyes.â
