My Weak Wife Is a Real Goddess novel Chapter 152

Hidden Emotions 

Lucille raised her eyebrows in amazement. Suddenly, she heard Joseph speak. His voice was heavy and muffled as if he was restraining something. 

No one knew what hidden emotions there were in those eyes of his. His gaze was like a surging undercurrent, deep and bottomless, yet slightly cold and lonely. 

He murmured, “Don’t be afraid of me, Bobo.” 

Lucille was stunned. What was there to be afraid of? 

Under her puzzled stare, Joseph took off his shirt completely 

The man’s strong and buff chest was covered with scars of various sizes. Some were deep, and some were shallow. Even after several years, one could tell that those scars were once. wounds that were nearly fatal. 

Lucille sucked in a cold breath. 

Most people would only have bruises on their bodies. 

On Joseph’s body, there were gunshot wounds, whip wounds, and other injuries from torture devices. 

Joseph, the son of the Collins family, was born into a comfortable life. He was proud and noble with ant extraordinary status. With a snap of his fingers, he could change Shein City’s destiny. Nobody would have thought that someone like him, who had the world in the palm of his hand, had experienced something that would leave so many horrible. 

scars. 

Could it be that… the people from back then were the ones. who injected the toxins into his body? 

Lucille was shocked, but she didn’t ask anything. 

Everyone had their secrets. 

It was just like how Joseph had never asked her anything. 

Lucille took out some tools and sat cross–legged across from Joseph. 

She began treating him seriously. At the same time, she answered, “It’s not that scary.” 

That was how her body looked like in the past, too. 

Lucille pursed her lips. She didn’t finish her sentence. 

Joseph looked up. The girl in front of him was calm, with a sense of serenity that did not match her age. She used the tools with skilled fingers. In just a few minutes, he could feel the cold poison in his body flowing around. 

With her treatment, the toxins were trapped and then sealed together. 

The process took about half an hour. 

When she removed the last tool, Lucille heaved a sigh of relief. 

It had taken her a lot of effort to concentrate on it for such a 

long time. She raised her hand to wipe away the sweat on her forehead, and then carefully put away the tools. She stated, ” You can’t come into contact with water for two hours after the 

treatment.” 

“Okay,” Joseph replied. Then, he put his shirt back on. 

“You’ll probably feel a little uncomfortable after the treatment. Take a rest first. I’ll go down and see if Madam Grant has 

come back.” 

Lucille left the room as she spoke. 

Joseph lay on the wooden bed, with Lucille’s faint fragrance lingering at the tip of his nose. It smelled good and was especially soothing to him. 

He grinned and closed his eyes, feeling a sense of longing. 

When Lucille went downstairs, she found that not only did 

Madam Grant come back, but there were also a lot of new furniture and appliances in the house. They were brand new, including things like a refrigerator, TV, and the like. 

In the living room, Madam Grant was at a loss when he saw how generous Culver was. “How can you give me all of these things, Sir? T–This won’t do. I haven’t done anything to earn this. I can’t accept it.” 

“It’s okay. We’ll be staying here for a few days.” 

Culver waved his hand and then told Madam Grant which food 

she had to avoid eating on a daily basis. Madam Grant, who was both surprised and delighted, listened carefully. She was 

afraid that she would not be able to remember it, so she wrote 

it down on some paper. 

Lucille raised an eyebrow. 

It seemed that Culver had already talked to Madam Grant, so there was no need for her to say anything. 

There was another problem, though. 

She had to make Bernard give up on buying the land and take the initiative to leave Talford Village. 

Once he left, she would have a chance to go to the old house and find out what was inside. 

Sent by Him 

Lucille walked out of the courtyard with the title deed. She was about to look for Bernard when she heard a rumbling sound coming from behind her. 

She turned around to take a look. At the end of the small path, 

she saw around half a dozen excavators and bulldozers 

approaching from afar. 

Bernard was waiting by the road with his men. 

It was obvious that the machines were sent by him. 

Many villagers gathered at the side of the road. When they saw what was going on, they looked at each other and then asked Bernard, “Sir, are you going to start demolishing the village 

now?” 

Bernard opened his mouth slightly. Just as he was about to answer, they heard another clear and pleasant voice first…. 

“No. Talford Village’s land will remain untouched. He’s just going to build a new site here. 

Lucille slowly stepped forward. 

She answered in the simplest and most direct tone. 

Bernard was a little dissatisfied. He frowned and said, “Stop 

talking nonsense, kiddo. This isn’t something you can get 

involved in. Go back.” 

“You’re wrong, Bernard. I do have a say in this,” she retorted. 

As Lucille spoke, she waved the title deed in her hand. A sweet smile appeared on her face as she vividly played the part of an innocent and arrogant girl. “This is a wonderful place for retirement. I think building a home would be quite fun.” 

Bernard’s eyes darkened. He asked, “Why do you have all the deeds for Talford Village?” 

“It’s a gift from Mr. Joseph,” she replied. 

Lucille blinked innocently. Not only did she want Bernard to think that she had borrowed Joseph’s power, but she also wanted him to think that she was still the simple–minded, useless girl that the original owner was. 

Thus, Lucille raised her eyebrows and confidently declared, “I said I wanted it, so Mr. Joseph gave it to me. Is there a problem?” 

Bernard was speechless. 

He knew that the land was in Joseph’s hands. He had thought that he had a big chance of being able to buy it, but right then, it seemed impossible.
