Chapter 1556

The bodyguard pulled Luas out of bed. He was slightly unsteady on his feet. Just as he stood up, he was struck with a punch. With a loud thump, the punch landed on Lucas’ abdomen...

“Mmm!” Lucas was in so much pain that he let out a dull moan. It was as if his internal organs were all in the wrong places.

He was breaking out in cold sweat on his forehead. After his breathing was messed up, he lifted his shaking face, and his gaze was ice cold. “Other than these, what else have you got? Threw them all at me

“You're overthinking it. I won't kill you.”

"Are you afraid that Anne would question you?” Lucas sneered.

“That's a business between us as a married couple, and you have no place to poke your nose into it. Take him away!” Anthony's voice suddenly became deep.

The bodyguards did not dare to slack off for even half a second, and they forcefully brought Lucas away.

Lucas certainly has no way to resist. He was still limping.

After they left the hospital, Lucas went to another hospital. He was arranged to stay in a ward with a higher level of privacy.

After that, the bodyguards left.

Lucas sat at the edge of the bed. He felt a dull pain coming from his leg and his face was even paler. Even if Anthony did not say it, Lucas knew Anthony's intentions and also his worries

He was simply preventing Anne from coming to look for him, was he not?

How would he let Anthony have his way?

Lucas realized that his phone had been taken away as well.

Therefore, when Anne gave Lucas a call the day after, nobody answered the call.

Just when she was prepared to call again, she received a text. [I've gone back. Don't come looking for me.]

Anne was surprised. “Gone back? Why? His leg was still hurt, was it not? How could he walk?”

That was very strange.

Therefore, she went to the hospital and found out that he was truly no longer there.

The bed was nice and tidy.

When she walked out of the ward, she saw a nurse who happened to walk by. “Where is the patient in this

room?”

“He's been discharged from the hospital.”

“Wasn't he supposed to stay for a very long time?”

“His assistant came to pick him up.

Assistant...

Anne knew about that. Lucas had mentioned it before.

It was truly strange.

Was his assistant not here to take care of him? Did she come to directly take him away instead? For some reason, she kept feeling that something was fishy.

Just when she was about to walk out of the hospital, the phone she had on her vibrated.

She glanced at it and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. “Hello, who is this?”

“Hello, I am Amelia Wright, Mr. Newman's assistant. This is what's going on. Something has happened to Mr. Newman. Can you help?”

Anne did not return to the Royal Mansion. Instead, she went directly to the Archduke Group.

She pushed the door open without getting any permission.

Anthony was having a discussion with the high-ranking executives inside the room. When they saw her coming in, they fell silent.

The high-ranking executives were in a panic. Who has such a death wish to barge into the office of the person in charge of the Archduke Group?

After taking a look at who that person was, they instantly felt it was justifiable.

Besides, they saw that Mr. Marwood was not angry at all. Instead, he looked worried.

“Get out,” said Anthony.

Of course, this was not directed at Anne.

Therefore, the high-ranking executives, who were especially great at reading social cues, left the room.

They even greeted Anne cautiously when they walked past her. “Hello, Mrs. Marwood.”

“Hello, Mrs. Marwood.”

“Hello, Mrs. Marwood.”

Anne was not happy at all. She was looking at Anthony angrily.

Anthony walked up to her and held her hand. “What's the matter? What happened?”

Anne was so angry that she pulled her hands back. “What have you done behind my back?”

The lines on Anthony's face were tense, and he put his hands by his side. “What do you think I'm doing?”

“Did you lock Lucas up? What exactly did you do to him?”

"Are you so worried about him?” The air around Anthony has already turned cold.

"How many times have I told you that nothing is going on between him and me?!”

“I've also told you that there's no need for you to get involved in this matter. Why did you still go see him?” Anthony touched her face. “You clearly know I don't like it.”
