Chapter 37 Ups!
Lucas was taken aback for a few seconds. His expression was complicated. “Really?”
Although his mother’s surname was Cameron, he inexplicably disliked the Camerons. On the contrary, he had always had a good relationship with Maggie, his cousin, with whom he had no blood relation.
Lucas always felt rebellious, and his aversion to the Camerons was inexplicable.
But he had no choice. Maggie liked them.
The Camerons hadn’t done anything wrong to him, so he had to pretend to like them.
Therefore, he was inexplicably a bit excited when he heard Joseph had died.
He shouldn’t feel this way.
This shouldn’t be happening!
As a human, he shouldn’t feel this way!
Lucas tried to make himself appear more grief–stricken. After a long pause, he slowly said, “I will buy him flowers to commemorate his death.”
Maggie couldn’t say anything.
After hanging up the phone, Maggie fell into deep thought once again.
Lucas’s grandfather, Owen Cameron, was Master Cameron’s younger brother. He only had one daughter, Sophia Cameron. However, Owen’s family was unfortunate. After Owen passed away due to illness, Sophia and her husband died tragically during an inspection trip. In the end, only Lucas was left, who was kindly adopted by Master Cameron.
In her previous life, Maggie never doubted Master Cameron.
However, even Lucas himself probably didn’t expect that a few months later, after he returned from graduation, he broke his leg in an accident at the Camerons‘ banquet and then became depressed.
His initially rebellious personality became even more distant.
Thinking of this, Maggie leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes, lost in thought.
Lucas, like her, grew up in the Camerons. But unlike her, he spent most of his time with the Camerons.
Master Finch, having lost his beloved son, naturally doted on his grandson.
Lucas was extremely talented in computer systems. In her previous life, after Maggie was disfigured and blinded, Lucas completely disappeared from everyone’s sight.
However, she later heard from Mia that the Camerons probably offended some prominent hackers. Whenever the hacker was in a bad mood, he would often expose the misdeeds of the Camerons.
chance to learn the truth, so she never thought those dirty deeds were true.
Maggie pondered for a while. Lucas‘ leg was injured when he climbed a ladder to install a light during one of the Camerons‘ banquets,
She couldn’t quite remember what the banquet was for, only that she was in charge of it. Master Cameron and his entourage cared a lot about it. But unfortunately, the main light in the house had a problem.
The banquet was imminent, but the workers couldn’t fix it.
So she had to find Lucas, who was playing games in his room, and ask him to fix it.
He had always been kind to her and didn’t refuse. But unexpectedly, the ladder had a problem. Then, Lucas fell straight down from seven or eight meters.
If that was all, it would have been fine. But unfortunately, there was a pile of miscellaneous items and repair tools under the ladder.
A knifehead directly pierced the tendons in his foot. From then on, he was disabled for life.
Thinking of this, Maggie smiled bitterly.
She had harmed a lot of people.
Thinking of this, Maggie found Lucas‘ number and sent him a message: ‘Remember, don’t install lights.”
Lucas, who had just climbed into bed to catch up on sleep, looked at the message, puzzled.
A few seconds later, Maggie received a reply: ‘Are you scolding me?”
Maggie was speechless.
Forget it. Things can only be taken one step at a time. Many things can’t be rushed.
Maggie looked at the clock and estimated the time at Nathael’s location. Then she dialed the hotel’s phone number.
“Hello, could you please help me order a romantic breakfast?”
“Sure. Are you sure you want to add a heart–shaped egg? Okay, thank you.”
