His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 2523

"Lie down, I'll apply some medication for you." Irene saw the medication on the shelf.

She took it and opened the bottle. She muttered, "Mr. Lucas, this time, I was the one who caused you trouble. You didn't want to go out yesterday, but I insisted on taking you out. I was the one being bullied; it had nothing to do with you, you—"

"Can you be quiet? I didn't sleep last night. I'm feeling dizzy." Lucas lay in bed and shut his eyes. "Later, if my dad speaks to you, don't say anything dumb. Just say that you were scared out of your wits and that you don't know anything. Don't let me get beaten up for nothing."

Irene initially had been holding back her tears. When she heard what he said, her tears began to fall.

"Why are you crying?" Lucas turned to look at her face filled with tears. He furrowed his brows. "Are you listening?"

"I am. Aren't you feeling dizzy? If you feel dizzy, go to sleep!" Irene wiped away her tears and pulled his shirt up. The marks on his back jumped at her. "You're wounded, yet you still say it's not painful. How stubborn can you be?"

"This is nothing. If I can't even bear this much pain, I'm not a man."

"What is the point of insisting on this?" Irene took out a cotton ball, wetted it with an iodine solution, and began disinfecting his back. "Your dad sure is ruthless. They were the ones to blame, yet he still wants you to apologize. He doesn't know between right and wrong."

"Don't talk about him. Let me lie in silence."

"Hmm. I won't bother you." Irene disinfected his wounds and applied the salve. When she saw him closing his eyes seemingly asleep, she tucked him under the covers and left the room.

Thinking about how Lucas was beaten up because of her, Irene felt worse the longer she thought of it.

She returned once more to the main kitchen. She wanted to find a chance to explain things to Mr. Woods.

The deterioration of the bond between father and son was not something she ever wanted to see happen.

At eight in the morning, Mr. Woods came downstairs for his breakfast. The butler passed on Irene's request to see him, and he agreed.
