Love in the Limelight (Astrid and Elio)

Chapter 465

Jay said, "I was just...too overwhelmed to process it at first. Thank you, Ms. Irvine."

With so many witnesses present, Jay had no choice but to follow the doctor and get the paperwork

done.

Amanda, seeing Jay's reluctance, decided to accompany him. "I'll go with you. Look at you, moving at

a snail's pace!"

As Jay left, his subordinates remained in the room.

Elio glanced at the remaining crowd, commanding, "Get out!"

Without a moment's hesitation, the bodyguards swiftly exited the room.

With only his close companions left, Lucas finally let out a sigh of relief: "Thank God you are here, Aunt Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Astrid, otherwise, I'd be dead meat."

Aunt Astrid?

The corners of Astrid's mouth twitched slightly, "I'm not your aunt, Lucas. Call me that one more time

and I might stop saving your ass."

Lucas: "You're too beautiful to be an aunt, but if we call you sister, it messes up the family tree, given

that Roman and I are tight!"

This reasoning was so solid that Astrid couldn't argue.

Elio: "Stop talking so much, rest up. I'll take care of your enemies."

Lucas pressed his lips together, "That day...never mind. It's all in the past. As long as you're all safe.

But I bet I scared Roman when I showed up like that, huh?"

"Not at all, Roman's braver than you might think." Astrid comforted him with a smile, "You just focus on

getting better. This is my territory, and no one can hurt you here."

Lucas said "Damn! Feels good to have a powerful friend!"

Matthew, overhearing Lucas' cursing, slapped his leg, "You need to watch your language, young man.

Every time I hear a swear word, you're getting a smack!"

Lucas didn’t dare to say anything.

Before long, Jay returned with the transfer paperwork, smiling, "All done, Astrid. Thank you for all your

help."

"It's no problem, don't mention it. Let's get going." After Astrid's words, Jay visibly paused.

Then he forced a smile, "Alright, it's just that we didn't bring any change of clothes for Lucas."

Astrid: "That's fine, patients usually wear hospital gowns. And don't worry about hiring a caregiver, I've

got it all covered. I promise, you'll get your son back in good health."

Jay was seething on the inside, but kept up the polite smile. He despised Astrid but had to thank her, "I

appreciate it very much, Astrid. Thank you."

Once Lucas was admitted to the military hospital, Jay would lose his chance to strike.

Lucas was taken to the hospital by Robb's people, and Jay's smile slowly hardened. Back home, Jay

took out his frustration on an expensive antique vase.

Johnnie stepped out of his study, casually asking, "What's wrong? Who's upset you now?"

"I failed at fishing and even lost the bait!" Jay was so angry he felt sick, "Astrid looks as harmless, but

actually she's cunning! She suggested transferring Lucas to the military hospital in front of the Lampard

elders and the hospital staff. As his father, I couldn't refuse. I had to watch helplessly as Lucas was

taken away."

"Oh?" A hint of amusement crossed Johnnie's face, "She's quite an interesting girl."

"I'm looking forward to our meeting tomorrow even more now."
