Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 1826

Right after Lucas landed safely, the door of Joseph’s bedroom was opened and Mr. Frye walked in with company.

Mr. Frye was observing around in the room as if he was in search of clues and traces. Seeing Joseph standing there with a sneer, Mr. Frye couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved. He could only endure it though.

“Why are you still up, Dr. Green?”

Mr. Frye spoke in embarrassment.

Joseph said coldly, “Right now you’ve put me under house arrest, but you assume I would have no trouble sleeping. How big-hearted do you expect me to be?”

Mr. Frye was a little ashamed of this.

“Dr. Green, you don’t have to clash with me like this, you know, I’ve treated you as my honorable guest.”

“Don’t you feel sorry about saying this? Just come straight to the point and tell me what you want from me.”

Joseph wasn’t giving Mr. Frye an easy time, therefore Mr. Frye was pissed off.

The smile on Mr. Frye’s face finally faded, and he said unemotionally, “What did Julian speak with you about when he was here just now?”

“Well, he came to beg for my help to treat his son. This is what you are here for, too. Am I right?”

Joseph used the word “beg”, which provoked Mr. Frye. Mr. Frye had a sulky look on.

“Julian begged for your help? How?”

“On his knees. He got the attitude right. Don’t you think?”

Joseph looked at Mr. Frye with a crooked smile.

Mr. Frye’s facial expression seemed funny and uncertain.

He knew Julian’s temperament better than anyone else. Julian seemed obedient, but he was really proud. And there was no way a proud person like Julian would kneel down and beg Joseph for help.

Considering the kid’s situation now, Mr. Frye wasn’t so sure anymore whether Julian would get on his knees for his son. After all, Mr. Frye knew how Julian felt about his child.

On the thought of this, Mr. Frye stopped beating around the bush and spoke, “What does it take for Dr. Green to operate on my grandson?”

“I did tell you what my terms were.”

“You are not going to sugar-coat it anymore, aren’t you, Dr. Green? Do you really think I’m running out of ways to get you to do what I want?”

Mr. Frye finally showed his true colors.

Joseph sneered and said, “What else can you do?”

“We can’t find Lucas. But it is not hard to locate Nicole and Samuel Green. I know they are capable and smart, and they are surrounded by bodyguards. But that isn’t 24/7, is it? Oh, and there’s your sister and the two brothers. What if I pick on them...”

“Don’t you dare!”

Joseph was enraged.

His bottom line was to keep his family safe.

Seeing Joseph’s anger, Mr. Frye then said with a smirk, “Dr. Green, think it through.”

After that, Mr. Frye left with his men.

Joseph was a bit worried, but he had faith in his brothers and sister that they would be able to protect themselves from Mr. Frye. But Mr. Frye was right, they were human and human made mistakes. He feared Mr. Frye would prey on his family like a serpent.

Joseph turned speedily and found Lucas was gone.

Since Joseph had decided to stay, Lucas wouldn’t sabotage his plan. Lucas evacuated his team as soon as he had landed. And he exposed the location of the villa immediately.

Lucas didn’t trust anyone but Michele and Edison. So he exposed the location to them.

Michele directly passed this info to Mr. Morty.

Morty sent a team to put the villa under their surveillance right away.

Everything seemed to be proceeding in an orderly manner.

Lucas made it to the Military Hospital right after he left the villa. There started to appear the light of dawn.

Lucas, who hadn’t slept all night, jumped into Yasmeen’s room through the window. It was such a relief for him to finally be able to meet her. Yasmeen was sleeping soundly.

Lucas took off his shoes quickly, got into bed, and wrapped his arm around Yasmeen.

The familiar scent of Lucas stunned Yasmeen. Lucas’s handsome face was so close and she looked at him with her eyes wide open. She had to pinch herself hard to see whether she was having a dream.

Why didn’t that hurt?
