Zoe wondered if this matter was good or bad. Looking at Lucas’s calm face, she slightly frowned.
“Lucas, so you’ve accepted Yasmeen because of this matter, haven’t you?”
“If a woman was willing to sacrifice her own life to me, why couldn’t I accept her? In this world, I’m afraid no other woman will love me with her life as she does.”
“Then, do you love her? Or, will you love her?”
That was the question Zoe was concerned about the most.
Yasmeen only loved Lucas all her life. However, if Lucas accepted her only because of her kindness, Yasmeen would never accept it as she was so proud.
Lucas said without hesitation, “Yes. Although my change was quite sudden, I knew what I was thinking after changing my mind. In fact, I had already accepted Yasmeen quite a long time ago, but my habit made me turn her down all the time. Over the years, she has been like my shadow. No matter what I’m doing or where I go, she’s always following me no matter how difficult it is. As soon as I look back, I can find her. It’s already my habit. When I was dying, I subconsciously looked for Yasmeen, but she wasn’t there at that moment.”
As he spoke, Lucas paused, looking a bit upset.
“That was the very first time I didn’t find Yasmeen behind me. For some reason, I panicked. I was afraid I would never be able to see her in the future. I was afraid I couldn’t leave the operation room alive. Honestly, I wasn’t missing you guys instead of her at that time. I was wondering what Yasmeen would do after I died during the operation. Would she go to heaven with me? At that moment, I suddenly realized Yasmeen had already entered my heart in the past years. She was like the air and the water, naturally, but I could never live without her. Hence, no matter if it was her kindness or other matters, I can’t tell at all. I only know this woman loves me with her life, so I must repay her with my life as well. Since she doesn’t want me to know it, I’ll pretend not to know it, as long as she’s happy. Actually, after she fell in love with me, she didn’t seem to be quite happy.”
While talking about Yasmeen, his eyes were incredibly tender, quite naturally. It was like the feeling between Samuel and Nicole.
Seeing that, Zoe was utterly relieved.
“All right. I’m relieved to hear you say so. Otherwise, I would always be worried about you guys. You are my older brother, and she’s my bestie. If you didn’t treat her well, I wouldn’t know whose side I should take at all.”
“Not necessary. I’ll never betray her.”
Lucas flicked on her forehead. Then he gave Zoe the newly made Pu’er tea.
Zoe took it over. Thinking about Julian’s matter mentioned by Yasmeen, she told him about the deal between Yasmeen and Julian. She didn’t tell Lucas earlier because she was afraid Lucas might not know the renal donation, but now she didn’t need to hide it.
Upon hearing it, Lucas frowned slightly.
“No wonder she had appeared on the kidnapping scene. It turned out it had something to do with me!”
“Of course. As long as the matter is about you, Yasmeen can’t think properly. However, her appearance will make the top management investigate her. If that happens...”
“I’ll deal with this matter,” said Lucas flatly.
He took a sip of the tea, and his eyes darkened.
He remembered Julian’s name.
Julian was so bold to set him up by using Yasmeen.
Lucas decided to give him a dose of his own medicine.
“By the way, Lucas, Penny wanted to blackmail us in the afternoon. Did you delete the wildly spread video clip?” asked Zoe.
“Ehn.”
Lucas didn’t deny it.
Zoe’s mouth corners twitched.
“You’re doting your wife with such a high profile. Aren’t you afraid others will criticize you?”
“I dare them. If they want to do it, they’d better shut up or kill me.”
Lucas’s arrogant tone made Zoe unable to continue her conversation with him any longer.
“I’m headed up to have a shower. Lucas, I’m so impressed.”

What is it with Chinese authors.
