The Queen Returns—And She’s Unforgiving novel Chapter 254

Evelyn's eyes widened sharply. Amid the sound of wind created by the propeller, the high-speed rotor approached rapidly.

She abruptly tried taking a step back, but a shadow suddenly loomed over her. In the next instant, she was swept into a warm, firm embrace, and the person holding her swiftly dodged to the side.

At the same time, a chorus of gasps rang out.

The drone was quickly brought under control and landed beneath the corridor.

Evelyn hadn't yet regained her composure when she heard Tiffany's anxious voice ring in her ears.

"Lucas! Are you okay?"

Only then did Evelyn open her eyes in shock to meet Lucas' gaze.

His brows were tightly furrowed, his expression was ugly, and his pupils were slightly dilated. This was the first time she saw Lucas with such a cold, terrifying expression.

He quickly released her upon seeing her surprise.

The moment Lucas stood up, Evelyn noticed the sleeve of his right arm had been completely shredded by the rotors. Blood streamed down his arm, pooling quickly on the ground. Even his palm and fingertips were marked with cuts and abrasions.

Tiffany ran over, face pale. "Lucas, are you seriously hurt?"

Mason and the others rushed over, their expressions dark.

"What happened? Why did you suddenly…" Mason glanced at Evelyn, hesitating mid-sentence as he looked at Lucas.

Why would Lucas risk his life to save Evelyn?

Brandon and the rest also arrived, their expressions finally turning grave.

"Ms. Moore was standing close to Evelyn just now. Mr. Grant must've grabbed the wrong person," Brandon mentioned, offering the only explanation he could think of.

Only then did those nearby begin to realize that Lucas had been standing close to both Evelyn and Tiffany.

The drone was plunging at them, blocking the light and his line of sight, so he could only rely on his intuition.

Lucas' brows remained deeply furrowed, but he didn't refute the claim. He turned slightly and looked at Tiffany, his voice lowered a few notches. "Are you okay?"
