Love in the Limelight (Astrid and Elio)

Chapter 464

Lucas closed his eyes, not wanting to look at Jay’s nauseating face. This man was a saint in public and

a devil in private, just like his son. Like father, like son, because Lucas could never be as vile as they

were, he was destined to be cast aside.

Jay looked at Lucas' furrowed brows, a trace of annoyance flashing across his face. "Lucas, I am your

father. Why are you acting as Elio's lapdog? What can he offer you?"

Lucas clenched his teeth and remained silent, which only seemed to annoy Jay more. He increased his

grip, "If it wasn't for the fact that you can be used as bait to trap Elio, you would be long gone."

"Matt, hurry up!" Amanda's voice echoed from outside the door, causing Jay to immediately straighten

up.

He put his blood-stained hand in his pocket and instantly wore a hearty smile, greeting the two who just

walked in, "Oh, my dear, how come you are here? I told you not to bother, I could take care of Lucas © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

myself."

"Good heavens! Matt! Get the doctor, Lucas is bleeding!" Amanda seemed to ignore Jay's words,

shouting directly, "Doctor! We have an emergency here, come quick!"

The doctor who was checking a patient in the next room rushed over. Seeing Lucas’ blood-soaked

wound, he turned to Jay, "I told you to take care of your son and keep him from moving around. What is

this?"

Jay humbly apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of him."

Lucas squinted and looked at Amanda, his eyes stinging, tears falling down the next second, "Granny, I

missed you so much!"

Seeing him cry, Amanda's eyes also reddened, "Don't cry, dear, I made you some chicken soup."

"Lucas, how are you feeling?" Astrid's voice came. Jay's voice faltered, but quickly returned to normal.

The doctor came in to re-dress Lucas's wound. Seeing this, Astrid seized the opportunity and asked,

"Doctor, can we transfer the patient to another hospital?"

The doctor was taken aback, "Why would you want to transfer him?"

Jay chimed in, "Yeah, this hospital is good enough, there's no need for a transfer."

Astrid continued, "The thing is, doctor, as you know, Lucas’ condition is very serious. It seems like he's

out of danger, but in reality, he could still pass away at any moment. This hospital, although top-notch

in the state, still doesn't compare to the medical team at the Military General Hospital, which is

internationally renowned. If we transfer him there, Lucas’ chances of recovery would increase."

Lucas thought to himself, “women are deceitful. Astrid had texted me in the morning saying that I was

fine and now she was saying I’m on the brink of death.”

But he knew Astrid was trying to save him, so he kept quiet.

Hearing that the Military General Hospital was willing to take in Lucas, the doctor's eyes lit up, "The

expert team at the Military General Hospital is willing to take him? That's excellent, he's still a child, he

has a long life ahead of him."

"At our hospital even if he could be discharged, he would still be left with physical disabilities in several

places, but if he goes there, the situation would be different!"

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and come with me to handle the transfer procedures!" The doctor

thought Jay was a slow person, and couldn't stop muttering, "How come you don't seem happy at all?

Your son has a real chance of full recovery, how can you not be excited?"
