Chapter 391
“Lucas.” Tess could not help but call out his name.
Lucas turned around calmly
He said. “Let’s go back to the ward.”
“Are you blaming me for this? Tess asked him.
“No.” Lucas said calmly.
“But you look unhappy.” Tess looked at him. “Lucas, I love you so much. One small change in your expression, and I know how you feel. So is it because I told Kylie to keep a distance from you that you’re unhappy?”
“No.” Lucas denied.
“Our three years of relationship can’t compare to Kylie you just met not long ago?” Tess was getting more and more agitated. as tears streamed down her face.
Lucas looked at Tess and said, “I don’t want you to go against your conscience for me.
Tess froze. She did not quite understand what Lucas meant.
“Kylie didn’t push you, right?” Lucas asked, but his tone was firm.
“Do you really trust her that much?” Tess broke down and asked.
“I just know about her personality…
“How long have you known her? Why do you trust her so much? We’ve known each other for so many years. Why don’t you trust me?” Tess questioned. “Am I that despicable to you?*
The more Tess spoke, the more agitated she became. Her pale face flushed red.
Her breathing seemed to have become even more rapid.
Lucas looked at her and said in a gentler tone, “Forget about what happened today. There’s nothing between me and Kylie. You’re thinking too much.”
“Am I really overthinking it?” Tess was unyielding. “You’re cold and heartless to everyone except Kylie, just because Kylie is beautiful? If you like her looks, I can go for plastic surgery. I can become like her…”
“That’s enough, Tess. Lucas was finally pissed off. “I don’t want to quarrel with you. If you believe that I’m having an affair with Kylie and you don’t believe me no matter what explanation I give, then let’s break up.”
Tess couldn’t believe what she heard.
She froze
Trans flowed down her cheeks.
She looked delicate and had always given off a pitiful vibe.
She looked aggrieved, and it made her look sadder.
Very few people could reject her appearance and their hearts would soften.
However, Lucas did not relent this time.

“Do you want to break up with me for Kylie? What about our three years of relationship?” Tess snapped out of her shock, and she was so agitated. “No, I won’t break up with you, Lucas. I won’t break up with you. If you want to break up with me, you have to cross over my dead body…”
“Calm down, Lucas comforted Tess when he saw how agitated she was
However, Tess did not listen to Lucas’s persuasion at all. She became more and more agitated and fainted.
Lucas quickly held her and called for the doctor.
Fortunately, they were in the hospital. The medical staff quickly sent Tess to the emergency room.
The emergency treatment was timely, and Tess was admitted to the ward without mishaps.
That brought bigger trouble.
Everyone from the Ford family was there.
They were all worried about Tess’s sudden relapse.
Because of her health, Tess was always favored by the Ford family. Everyone doted on her.
“Tess, what happened? You’ve only been back for a few months. Why have you been in the emergency room twice already?” Ellen’s tone was a little reproachful, but in fact, she was concerned.
“I don’t know.” Tess shook her head and acted obediently.
Ellen said helplessly, “Could it be that Kenville is not suitable for you to recuperate? Grandma wants to settle down in Kenville after you and Lucas get married. I don’t want to go abroad anymore. Grandma can’t bear to part with you. If this is the case, I might still have to send you abroad.
Tess looked at Lucas in silence.
She seemed to be asking for his opinion.
Lucas returned to the country intending to expand his business there, although he had been in the research phase for a while.
Ellen looked at Tess’s gaze and turned back to look at Lucas. He smiled and said, “Lucas loves you so much. Of course, he goes wherever you go. Isn’t it, Lucas?”
Lucas did not answer immediately.
Ellen added, “If you hadn’t returned to Kenville, I’m afraid Lucas wouldn’t have come back.”
“Is that so?” asked Tess.
Lucas pursed his lips and replied, “Yes”
Back then, he had returned to the country partly because the domestic market had the potential for economic development and partly because of Tess.
“If I want you to go abroad with me, will you go with me?” Tess asked Lucas eagerly
“Your health is the most maportant thing right now. Have a good rest first. We’ll discuss the future” Lucas did not give a direct answer
Tess’s eyes were filled with disappointment
Ellen could naturally tell that her granddaughter was unhappy avoid embarrassment, she did not harp on this matter and even changed the topic to ease the atmosphere.

When Ellen was about to leave, she called Lucas out alone.
“Lucas, did something happen between you and Tess?” asked Ellen directly.
Elders were always experienced. Ellen could tell at a glance that there was something unusual between them today.
Lucas chose to remain silent.
He admitted,
However, he did not want to explain further.

“As an old woman, I shouldn’t interfere with young people’s matters, but you also know Tess’s health. She’s different from ordinary people. She can’t take the blow. You should have been prepared in this aspect when you chose to be with her back then. You can’t hurt her in this lifetime.” Ellen’s attitude was a little firm. “I don’t care if she’s on the wrong side or you disappoint her. In short, I don’t want to see Tess sad.”
“This is Tess and my relationship,’ said Lucas bluntly.
He was not angry because of Ellen’s attitude. It was out of respect for his elders.
He did not compromise because of Ellen’s warning because he had his principles.
“I don’t care about anyone else. Even if it’s my other grandchildren, I can ignore them. But not Tess. Her body is destined to be protected from birth. If you hurt Tess, I’ll make sure you regret it!” Ellen threatened.
Lucas’s gaze was cold and fearless.
“Of course, I hope there will never be such a day where I need to stand up for Tess.” Ellen did not need Lucas to promise her anything. When she left, she said, “Treat Tess well.”
