Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO Chapter 2586
She had always known Lucas didn’t like being addressed by name.Under the weight of that warning look, she corrected herself immediately.“I really don’t know what my son has done. I’ve been here at the hospital the whole time, taking care of Philip. He can vouch for that.“And lately, I haven’t had much contact with him either. If there’s something going on, wouldn’t it be better to speak to him directly?”She tested the waters carefully.In her mind, Edwin was better equipped to handle this—he was younger, sharper, and far more experienced dealing with Lucas.If anything, this was his problem to resolve.After all, if there was a grievance, it should be taken up with the person responsible.There was no reason for it to land on her.She had no intention of taking the blame.Lucas let out a cold scoff.“Don’t think I don’t know what you’re trying to do. I’m warning you. This ends with you today. Not only will you know about it… your son will too.”“What are you talking about?”Philip

Philip didn’t believe a word of it.“If you’ve got nothing to say, then leave. Don’t stand here getting on my nerves.”He waved him off, already done with the conversation.“Why should I leave?”Lucas didn’t budge.If anything, he seemed more set on staying.He rose to his feet, phone in hand, and walked straight toward Maria.She stiffened as he approached, unease creeping up her spine.Instinctively, she shot Philip a look for help.But Philip was just as uncertain.He had no idea what Lucas was about to do.“What exactly are you trying to do?” Philip demanded. “Can’t you just say what you want to say?“Why are you going toward Maria?”“Maria?”Lucas let out a soft, dismissive scoff.“Grandpa, have you really gotten to the point where you’ll just take anyone in?”Maria’s hands tightened at her sides.That stung more than she expected.No matter how much time passed, Lucas never seemed to change.He was still just as sharp and cutting.But this felt different.There was something heav

But Philip couldn’t find any proof.Meanwhile, Lucas cast a brief glance toward Maria.She caught it and felt a chill run down her spine.Something about him today felt off.Like he hadn’t come here for anything good.And yet, she couldn’t think of a single reason why.She had been staying in the hospital, taking care of Philip day after day. She barely even crossed paths with Lucas.How could she have offended him?It didn’t add up.Still, under his gaze, she found herself at a loss.She hadn’t done anything wrong, so why was he looking at her like that?What she didn’t know was she hadn’t offended Lucas.Edwin had.And Lucas could deal with anything directed at himself.But the moment it touched Aurora, that was something else entirely.If he couldn’t even protect the woman he loved, then what was left of him?Lucas pulled out his phone and let it hover briefly in front of Philip.“Tell me something, what do you call it when family turns on family?”He moved to open the video.As he

“Look at you, what happened to basic trust between people?”Lucas draped an arm over Philip’s shoulder, casual, almost conspiratorial.“Grandpa, you raised me when I was young. I know better than anyone how good you were to me. How could I ever forget that?”“Save it.”Philip snorted, though the sharpness in his eyes had already begun to ease.For all his words, the edge of his irritation was softening.After all, Lucas was still the grandson he valued most.Hearing him speak like this, so measure and aware, how could he not feel a flicker of satisfaction?At his age, there were still many things he would have to rely on his children and grandchildren for.He still had some savings and commanded a measure of respect, but who could say how long that would last?A lifetime of striving, in the end, was only for a peaceful finish.That was all he wanted now.The pride he once held so tightly had faded.What mattered was easing things between them, not letting it grow awkward or strained.“

Lucas raised a brow, catching the look of contentment on Philip’s face.Who would’ve thought that, even at his age, he could still enjoy this kind of attention?Timing it perfectly, Lucas rapped on the door.The sharp knock shattered the almost intimate atmosphere in the room.Philip jolted, startled.When he turned, he saw the unmistakable amusement on Lucas’ face.He cleared his throat, already knowing the boy had done it on purpose.That glint of mischief in his eyes hadn’t gone unnoticed.“You little brat, are you trying to scare me to death?“At my age, you think I can handle that kind of shock? You know my heart isn’t what it used to be. Do you still want to see me alive or not?”Lucas smiled lightly.“Your heart seems just fine to me. Not everyone your age gets to enjoy this kind of attention.”“You—what nonsense are you talking about?”A faint flush crept up Philip’s ears despite himself.He hadn’t expected Lucas to grow this bold.Beside him, Maria didn’t dare make a sound.Sh

Sometimes, it came down to whether a person could endure the demands of the work and whether they could live with it.He and the doctor had stepped onto a path with no way back from the very beginning.And once they knew there was no return, there was nothing left but to keep going.The subordinate gently helped the doctor up from the chair.“Come on. I’ll take you to the basement. For your injury, I can give you a couple of painkillers. That’s about all I can do.”Even that was something he decided on his own.Before this, anyone injured would simply be thrown into the basement, left to fend for themselves.If Edwin happened to remember, they might be brought out again for questioning.But this time, the subordinate was willing to offer painkillers—if only because the two of them had crossed paths before.At those words, something flickered in the doctor’s eyes.He understood perfectly well that this was the most the man could do.Beyond that, there was nothing else to hope for.…The

At that moment, Lucas was alone in his office.He stared at the documents on his desk, a flicker of confusion crossing his expression.He hadn’t expected things to unravel into something this complicated.All Aurora wanted was to sort through her belongings, yet she had uncovered one of her family’s

Earlier, Grace still felt a little puzzled, convinced that her two daughters were similar in both temperament and ability.Now it seemed to her that Aurora wanted to compete with Tessa.When Tessa noticed Grace deep in thought, she knew her mother had taken every word seriously.But Tessa was the on

He never expected that the woman he once called a lunatic would now turn around and help him. The world really worked in strange ways.“Why don’t we exchange contact info?”Joseph offered first.For now, it was the only way to keep her tied to this plan.If she made a promise and he agreed—then how

“Madam Grace, I understand why you’re doing this. You’ve carried the Walton family on your shoulders for so many years.”Arnold had always admired Grace deeply.After following her for so long, he knew exactly what kind of person she was.That was why he chose to stay by her side.Many people never
