“Dad, think about it! If you continue hitting him, Yasmeen will get really angry and ignore you later. You know how she is. She may throw a temper and don’t even want to hold the wedding anymore. She’ll probably just elope with Lucas, then you’ll regret this.”
Patrick said casually. Steven stopped whipping Lucas upon hearing that.
Lucas glanced at Patrick. Awesome! He had a nice future brother-in-law.
“Get out and go rest somewhere.”
But Lucas said nonchalantly, “I don’t have time to rest because I must take the plane back home later. I also told my brother to find a compatible kidney donor so that Yasmeen do the surgery tomorrow.”
“What?”
Steven was taken aback.
“It’s not that easy to find a compatible kidney donor. If you really love my daughter, you should just give the kidney back to her. Why go through so much trouble?”
Lucas looked at Steven and explained patiently, “I cannot give it back to her just like that. It’s risky for her health if we do so. Even though Yasmeen should be most compatible with her own kidney, but it has already been in my body for so long. It was compatible with me and my body didn’t reject it. It’s not necessarily a good idea to give it back to Yasmeen right now. It’s better to find her another donor. Not to mention that I’m afraid of dying now.”
“What?”
Steven thought that he was hearing things.
Lucas said that he was scared of dying?
Lucas was in the army for many years and was always risking his life. He did every mission even though some were dangerous. Steven had never seen him afraid of anything, but now Lucas was saying that he was afraid of dying.
Lucas noticed how shocked Steven was. He smiled and said, “Yes, I’m scared of dying. I never thought this way before, but my life also belongs to Yasmeen right now. I need to stay alive. My main priority now is to make sure that she’s happy for as long as she lives.”
“Such a smooth talker. Your father wasn’t like this.”
Even though Steven mocked Lucas, but the expression in his eyes and on his face looked gentler now.
“Ask Patrick to put some ointment on your wound, you should leave immediately after that. Also, I’m going with you after I settle some matters.”
Steven went out after saying that.
Patrick quickly went up and helped Lucas up.
Lucas was actually hurt quite badly.
It definitely hurt to get whipped on the body. Patrick had experienced this before, so he was awed at how Lucas didn’t even make any noises when he got hit.
“Brother-in-law, I’m counting on you in the future.”
Patrick talked very softly, but Lucas felt reassured hearing him referring to him as his brother-in-law.
“Okay. I will watch your back as long as it’s not something outrageous.”
“Thank you, brother-in-law.”
Patrick helped Lucas into the guest room.
Lucas wanted to go back as soon as possible, but he had to take it slow.
Steven got a doctor to look at Lucas, but before the doctor arrived, Lucas had already fainted from the pain.
Ashley heard from Steven that Lucas was looking for a compatible kidney donor for Yasmeen. She decided to go with Lucas. Steven suggested coming with her, but Ashley said no.
“You’re not only a father, but you’re also the king. There’s a lot of things that you must do here. Are you done preparing for our daughter’s wedding? That’s important too.”
Steven was unwilling, but he listened to his wife. Though, Patrick would be going with Lucas.
Yasmeen couldn’t get through Steven’s phone. As she was about to leave the room, she noticed Jaydon standing outside. Yasmeen was taken aback.
“Why are you here?”
“Young Master ordered me to protect you at all times, Miss Shaw.”
Jaydon said casually. Even though Lucas found out that she was a girl, she still dressed gender-neutrally.
Yasmeen nodded and asked, “Did Lucas go to my place?”
“Yes.”
Jaydon’s answer made Yasmeen feel troubled.
How dare he!
He tricked her!
“Why did he go there?”
“Young Master said that he went there to ask for your family’s blessing. I don’t know anything more than that.”
Yasmeen’s heart was beating fast upon hearing that.

Does the author have write the full names of the characters all the time...it's annoying...we are reading the book, we know their surnames already.......
What is it with Chinese authors. The characters are slow, he finally opened his mouth, it took him so long just to say two words...the house keeper would have put the person out before he even spoke....is this really how people are over there..the characters are always lost in thought, they might as well live in their heads.....
