His Eagle Eyes on Me

Mr. Woods' expression turned grave. "I cannot allow Lucas to marry a woman like her!"

Mrs. Woods sneered. "I doubt he'll listen to you."

Mr. Woods retorted, "If he doesn't listen, I'll go to his company and talk to him!"ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

In the afternoon, Ivy, accompanied by Caspian, arrived at the hospital with gifts for Lucas' mother.

Lucas' mother beamed when she saw the new clothes, shoes, bags, and cosmetics that Ivy had bought for her. "Ivy, you've bought so many things for me. I've been sick for so long and haven't bought things in ages. It's a waste of money. You must have spent quite a bit, right?"

"Aunty, you don't need to worry. My parents gave me a lot of pocket money. Would you like to try on these new clothes? I can help you change," Ivy offered.

Lucas' mother, with a gentle smile, said, "It's fine. I'll have the nurse help me later. Didn't Lucas come with you?"

"He's at work! I didn't want to disturb him."

"Ah, I see. In the early days of his business, he was indeed quite busy. Sometimes, he would come to see me at night without bothering to have dinner first. He's really working hard. Unfortunately, I can't help him. I've become a burden to him." Lucas' mother's smile faded. "He spent quite a lot of money on my treatment. We could have bought a house with that money, but he insisted on buying those expensive medicines for me, and they didn't even work. Money wasted..."

"Aunty, please don't worry about the money. He'll earn it all back in the future," Ivy comforted. "The fact that he's willing to spend money on you shows how important you are to him. You should be happy about that."

Lucas' mother's face lit up again. "I've always known he's filial. My only regret now is that I didn't listen to his wishes and sent him back to his father's place. It was the only major conflict between us. Although he doesn't blame me now, I still feel sorry for him."

Ivy smiled. "Don't blame yourself. When he was with his father, I took care of him, and he was doing well!"

"Hahaha! I don't regret it now. If he hadn't gone back to his father's place back then, he wouldn't have met you."

"I agree."

After adjusting his expression, Mr. Woods strode toward the bed and stared at Ivy. "Are you Irene?"

Ivy nodded. "Are you here to see Aunty, Mr. Woods?"

"Not entirely... I didn't expect to see you here. I came to ask her about you and Lucas."

"You can just ask me about it. Don't

with Mr. Woods. I will drop

by again."

Worried, Lucas' mother said to Mr. Woods, "Don't you dare pick on Ivy, or Lucas will get upset!"

Mr. Woods sighed. "Why would I pick

on her? I just want to know more about her Lucas is my son, so I can't just let him marry any woman out there. The Woods might not be as successful these days as before, but we should still look for a suitable match for Lucas."

"Get over yourself! Ivy's family is of much higher status than yours!" Lucas' mother said.
