Love in the Limelight (Astrid and Elio) novel Chapter 453

"Oh dear, what on earth happened, Amanda?" Latonia and the others were so frightened they could barely speak, retreating in alarm.

Seeing this, Matthew calmly said, "This kid is always getting into fights at school, and look, he's gotten himself cut again. It looks bad, but it's nothing serious. Please, everyone, go home for today, come again some other day."

"Alright, alright, goodbye..." The ladies left one by one.

Roman stared at the injured Lucas Lampard on the ground, looking serious, "Grandpa, why did you lie?"

Matthew stiffened, "I didn't lie, Roman. It's getting late, go get some sleep. Your grandma and I will take Lucas to the hospital."

Roman bit his lip, hesitating for a long time before finally returning to the house.

Seeing Roman leave, Matthew Lampard sighed deeply, "Poor Lucas, he seems to be a carefree kid, but he has a kind heart. He must have gotten injured trying to stop someone's wicked plot."

"Hmm." Amanda nodded, "Let's have Lucas stay with us from now on. If we send him back, he might not survive."

"Alright." Matthew nodded, looking grave.

Half an hour later, an ambulance took Lucas away.

Roman watched the ambulance leave from a second-floor window, then took out his phone to call Astrid.

At the same time, Astrid was interacting with her online friends, playing a game.

Her phone was in Gracie's hands.

Seeing that it was Roman calling, Gracie answered, "Sweetie, what's up? Your mom is busy right now."

Thinking about Lucas covered in blood, Gracie became even more alarmed.

A few minutes ago, Astrid and Roman had just publicly acknowledged Roman as their son, and now Lucas was injured. This was no coincidence.

During their interactive session, Astrid came over.

Seeing Gracie's expression, she asked softly, "What's wrong, Gracie?"

Gracie grabbed Astrid's arm, whispering in her ear, "Roman just called, said Lucas was lying at the doorstep covered in blood. He said to be careful when you and Mr. Lampard come home."

Astrid's eyes turned cold, "Alright, I got it."

"Astrid, they say being in a wealthy family is dangerous and lonely, but this is too damn scary. They just cut people like it's nothing?" Gracie was frantic, "Maybe we should dump Mr. Lampard. Raising a kid on your own is feasible, and I can help you. To hell with the Lampard family!"
