That was why Mr. Lucas was so furious and displeased when Ben so casually brought Jamie, an “outsider,” into his private space.
“Do older people all lose their sense of reasoning? I’ve already told you that Jamie isn’t an outsider,” Ben sneered, his tone sharp with ridicule.
“You dare talk to me like that?” Mr. Lucas nearly leaped out of bed, his face flushing an angry shade of red.
Ben let out a dry chuckle, his expression practically screaming, “You’re not just irrational, you’re deaf too.”
Though his words seemed harmless on the surface, their cutting undertone was impossible to miss.
Mr. Lucas turned an even darker shade, his face swelling like it might explode, as he clutched his chest and struggled for breath. “How did I end up with such a disgrace of a son!”
Ben’s pupils contracted slightly.
Jamie quickly realized something was wrong. She rushed to press the call button, summoning the medical staff.
The nurse arrived swiftly, using calm methods to stabilize Mr. Lucas and warning them, “The patient needs rest. No more emotional outbursts.”
Ben kept his gaze lowered, lost in thought.
Jamie smiled apologetically at the nurse. “We’ll keep that in mind. Thank you.”
Once the nurse left, Mr. Lucas, still lying in bed, glared at them, his tone icy. “You nearly drove me to my grave, you ungrateful son.”
“The law firm called me,” Ben suddenly said, his voice neutral.
A flicker of guilt flashed across Mr. Lucas’s face, so brief it could have been missed. But Ben caught it.
Seeing his father’s reaction, Ben felt both bitter and absurd.
Jamie, too, looked stunned, struggling to believe it.
It was really Mr. Lucas who had reported him!
“Why would you do this, Mr. Lucas?” Jamie demanded, her voice trembling with anger and disbelief.
