Lucas had Jonathan accompany him to work the next day. Oliver remembered nothing from last night, and Lucas didn’t bring it up. \"The publicity film was changed and a different video was played. Everyone suspects that there was a ghost inside the company, so from today on, you must follow me anywhere I go. \"But I\'m not part of your company,\" \"But you’re mine.\" Lucas sat down and began to take out his work. \"I\'m just informing you, not asking for your permission.\" So, Oliver was forced to be in the office with Lucas Huo. Though he had his mobile phone with him, he couldn’t find the charger, and no one else there had a phone with the same charging port. Soon, the battery drained and he was left with nothing to do. Lucas refused to let him leave and told him to sit on the sofa. There was nothing for him to do, no books to read, and the only thing he could do was to sleep. However, as soon as he closed his eyes, Lucas
\"So let him check it, what should I worry about? I’m not one to do sloppy work. \"Son, you asked us to tamper with the hospital line and make the fire look like an electrical malfunction so Lucas would stop investigating it. You are now engaged to him. Will you turn your back on your father? Are you going to make me your scapegoat?” The old man’s face was red and he was very angry. Oliver was confused. Why would Lucas investigate it, and why would Jonathan Qiao prevent Lucas from finding out what happened? Joshua Qiao looked at his son, he suddenly felt strange. Jonathan was acting indifferent, as if he had changed into another person. The old man said nothing but insisted that he do something about the predicament that he had brought them all into. \"Joe, make sure Lucas doesn’t investigate any further, because we are all in the same boat. If I ever get caught, you’ll also be in trouble. Even if I keep my mouth shut, you’ll be associated with me. What mor
As he looked at the computer, Oliver hesitated. It was ridiculous. Lucas had forced him to give up his kidney. Because of him and Jonathan Qiao, his brother had died. Now that he can finally retaliate against Lucas, he hesitated. While Oliver was trying to build courage to go through with his plan, his mobile phone suddenly rang. The number was unknown, but Oliver had that number memorized. It was Dr. Anthony Shen. Oliver Shi quickly picked up immediately. Dr. Anthony Shen spoke in an anxious voice. \"Bad news, Oliver. We have a problem.\" \"What?\" Oliver Shi clenched the phone. \"Aren’t you sedating him everyday? How could he escape?\" \"His body must have started resisting the drug. This is normal. But because he is cunning, he waited and sneaked out when he found an opportunity.\" \"How long has he been gone?\" Oliver looked out of the window and saw the sky. It was afternoon now. \"It\'s been an hour since w
\"Oliver Shi, I will kill you!\" Jonathan roared, and his hand went for Oliver’s neck, but someone behind him took his wrist and twisted it. He fell over in pain, with his arm in between his legs. \"What the hell are you waiting for?” He hollered at the guards. “Take this madman away!\" He kicked Jonathan Qiao and went to check on Oliver. When he confirmed that he was not injured, he looked down at the man who had been pressed by the bodyguard on the ground and could not move. \"Who are you?\" Asked Lucas. Jonathan tried to say his name, but all that came out was a hoarse whisper. Lucas Huo was about to bow to see his face, but suddenly an ambulance came to the door and pulled up in the driveway. \"I\'m sorry.\" Dr. Anthony Shen, dressed in a white coat, walked to Jonathan Qiao and pulled him up. He apologized to Lucas as well as Oliver Shi. “He escaped from our facility.\" He didn\'t go back. He saw that Dr. Anthony and
Lucas Huo and Dr. Anthony Shen walked to where Oliver was sitting. \"Just a few scratches,\" Oliver said, trying to get them to leave him alone. \"He’s right. The injuries are superficial,\" Dr. Anthony Shen explained. Lucas took a look at it. Oliver’s wound seemed much more serious than he and Dr. Anthony Shen were making it out to be. They’d already applied disinfectant to it, and the swelling seemed to have worsened. Though Jonathan was only able to manage to scratch at it, it really looked like he was in a bad way. Though the injury would barely have damaged a normal face, this one had undergone extensive plastic surgery. Lucas felt the sideburns, and asked softly, \"does it hurt?\" It did hurt, but not as much as he had expected. Compared with the cuts he’d suffered for the sake of cosmetic treatment, these wounds are really just minor injuries. He’d been desensitized to pain, it seemed to him, but he offered no expl
As soon as he asked this, Ren Fei called and said he had lost the the car he was trying to follow. The “medical staff” seemed to have abandoned their car in the middle of nowhere. “From the looks of it,” Ren Fei said, “they switched to a different vehicle.” He went on, ”Just as I began to look around for their tracks, something came up. A spy reported that the Shi & Fung Group had joined the competition for the First Lady’s campaign.” After the incident in the hospital, Liam Shi had chosen to study in the United States. Mr. Shi also seemed to avoid attention, electing to remain low-key for months. Dr. Anthony Shen probably knows something, but there are better ways to find out, Lucas thought. In any case, it was simpler to have him followed. He was quite annoying, too. \"Mr. Huo,\" Dr. Anthony Shen began, unsure of what to make of all this. \"Let’s talk another time,\" Lucas said, and gave the medicine back. \"Are you sur
Oliver went downstairs for breakfast. As he drank the hot soup, his face suddenly changed. The soup had peanuts in it. He has been allergic to peanuts since childhood. But Jonathan Qiao, he isn’t allergic to peanuts. Not that Oliver knew of at least. \"What\'s wrong Madam?\" The maid looked at the Oliver, alarmed. \"Nothing,\" said Oliver Shi, dropping the chopsticks. He began to have a hard time breathing. \"I’m not hungry.” \"Back to the room?\" The maid was worried. \"Madam, we haven’t finished, I\'m afraid it hasn\'t been cleaned up yet.\" \"Don\'t you know, madam? This morning, Mr. Huo has ordered us to move your things into his room. He wants the you to stay in his room.\" \"What?\" When he first came in, Oliver had even used a snake to try to get him to share his room with “Jonathan,” but he wouldn’t budge. Why suddenly change his mind? Is it because he suspects Jonathan is actually Oliver?
Lucas said nothing, just stepped forward and hugged him from behind. The pleasure he felt at Lucas’s tight embrace made Oliver hate himself. Feeling his warm body from behind, Oliver knew that Lucas wasn’t the kind of person who hugs just anyone. Huo was raised in a traditional household. Often, he mistook affection for sexual advances. Has he grown up now, and learned to separate love from lust? Let’s find out, thought Oliver. He turned and kissed Lucas on the lips. Lucas returned the kiss, but broke away and gestured at the pile of wet clothes, \"How come your clothes are wet?\" Oliver lowered his eyes. \"I had a nightmare and it made me sweat. I showered with my clothes on, I couldn’t wait to take them off.\" \"Want to bathe in the tub?\" Lucas raised his lips, \"I’ll help you.\" \"No, I’m fine.\" ”Don’t be shy,” Lucas said and lifted him. He put Oliver in the bathtub \"I said, no.\" Oliver looked him
