Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 1814

Joseph looked at Lucas, gave him the spoon directly in his hand, and said indifferently, "Do it. I know what you can do. Even with just this spoon, you'll be able to kill me."

"You're my brother!"

Lucas suppressed and held back his emotions, but his low growl sounded like a wounded beast. He struggled and was angry, but helpless to do anything about it.

Joseph suddenly got a little sad.

He turned his head and looked out at the weather. It was bright and sunny, but now he felt like he was in an abyss.

Lucas was very protective of his family. Even because he was not Samuel and Nicole's biological son, each of them could not wait to give him all their heart.

But what had he done?

Joseph despised himself.

"I will find a kidney that matches Yasmeen and ship it over as quickly as possible. No delay in her surgery, I promise."

Lucas bit his lower lip and whispered, "I never doubted your abilities or connections. You know that's not what I want to hear."

"You want to know about what happened between me and Nichole?"

Joseph's words made Lucas understand that Joseph had already known about the things he had done.

The two had grown up together and both knew quite well what each other was like. So Lucas didn't hide it from him and nodded straight away when he heard Joseph say so.

"Yes, I want to know what Nichole is to you. Aren't you with Kylie? Don't you like her? And now you can turn your back on your family's bottom line to help Nichole, so she's the one you love?"

Joseph shook his head. He had wanted to use nicotine to numb himself, but he could never get used to the choking taste. He had to take the gum out of his pocket and chew on it bit by bit.

Lucas didn't rush him either.

There were times when one needed peace and quiet.

He was sure that Joseph would naturally say something when he asked him out, but in fact, he couldn't force him to say anything.

Joseph ate three pieces of gum in a row before he settled down.

He said in a low voice, "I don't have any feelings or friendship with Nichole. It's just that she saved my life and I owe her one."

"Brother, you're a doctor. What did you mean when you said she saved your life?"

Lucas had a hunch that there was something about Joseph he didn't know.

All these years, he had lived in the military district, and all he could think about was protecting his family and country, and he had never worried about his family at all. Hearing Joseph say this at this time, Lucas suddenly felt a little guilty and remorseful.

But Joseph waved his hand and said, "Don't think too much about it. I'm not in much danger. If you want to talk about danger, it's more dangerous for you to be on a mission in the military district. I've been to South Africa before to do volunteer work and I was attacked by terrorists. There was a terrorist who was wounded and they kept looking for a doctor to treat him and happened to know that I was a doctor, then they caught me."

Joseph paused for a moment, as if he didn't want to remember the scene but had to because of it, making Lucas feel a little uncomfortable.

He was aware of such things.

Although terrorists would take hostages, a doctor was the best hostage to take if a terrorist was injured.

Joseph had encountered terrorist attacks on more than one occasion when he went to South Africa. In the past, when he was younger, he would not have resisted when he met a terrorist attack or anything. But in previous years, Joseph had been a grown-up and was also very good at fighting. If he was being held hostage, it could only mean one thing - that he was doing it on purpose.
