My Husband Went Berserk After An Earthquake

Before the woman could finish speaking, I had already made my decision.“My mother-in-law is unwell. Take her with you.”At that moment, Josie gathered herself while being treated. She suddenly grabbed the hem of my top and insisted that she would not board the plane. “I can’t leave, Elise. If I hadn’t forced you to marry Lucas, we wouldn’t be stuck here today.“I’m getting up there in age, and I won’t live much longer. I can’t let you sacrifice yourself for me.”The warning siren for the earthquake rang out again. As the rescue team hurried us, I clenched my teeth and pried Josie’s fingers off me one by one.“Don’t say that, Josie. If you hadn’t helped me financially, I would still be farming in the valley.“In my heart, you’re like my own mother. The wrongs Lucas committed have nothing to do with you. Go. Everyone’s waiting for you.”My parents were servants of the Devine family. Back when Lucas and I were still kids, he got kidnapped, and my parents lost their lives savin

My back landed heavily against cement, and every part of my body screamed in agony. Lucas’s helicopter rotated above me before flying into the distance. Blood pooled beneath me. Terrified, I wanted to get up, but my leg seemed to be broken. It could not support me. Those who had envied me for getting saved were all stunned. It took a long time for someone to rally them. “Hurry, save her!”As this call came, all those strangers, whom I had only seen once, ran over to me with all their might. Some people helped me up while others brought water to my lips. Another kept asking how I was. I could hear the earthquake warning going off again and tried my best to speak. “I’m fine. You have to run.”Just as I said this, the ground started to shake again. Amid the noise, everyone gathered around me. No one was willing to leave me behind. At that instant, I let go of all that I had felt for Lucas. I could not deny that I truly did love him. He was born with a nobleman’s gr

With quick steps, Lucas came forward and pulled me up from the bed by my wrist. He stared into my eyes. “What do you mean by this, Elise? Do you think I’ll let you go if you try to make headway in this roundabout manner? I want you to make a statement and apologize to Shevonne. Tell people that you were just playing around and fell accidentally. Do you hear me?” In contrast to Lucas’s rage, I only looked at him quietly as I shook my head. “It wasn’t a game. Shevonne wanted to kill me.”Instantly, tears ran down Shevonne’s face, and she threw herself into Lucas’s embrace. “It was only a prank, Lucas. How could she blame me for it? Let’s forget it. Others can lecture me all they want. It’s fine for them to think I was in the wrong. Let’s go quickly. Let’s not make Elise mad, or she’ll say even more bad stuff about me…”Although she sounded helpless, Shevonne was blaming everything on me. Lucas was instantly enraged. He gripped me by the throat and hurled me from the bed to th

Lucas was overjoyed. He quickly rushed back to the ward. When he saw the assistant kneeling in the corner, Lucas was a little surprised. “Aren’t we getting a divorce? What’s going on here?”Josie did not even glance at Lucas. She glanced at the assistant with a lift of her chin. “Tell him what you told me clearly!”The assistant did not dare to keep the secret any longer. He told the truth. As Lucas listened, his expression turned colder and colder. “It’s impossible. Shevonne is kind and innocent. She would never hurt anyone!”As he said this, the person Josie had sent out returned. “I investigated carefully. The post about the show of affection on the helicopter trended because of Shevonne’s influence.”Lucas looked lost. He snatched the file from the investigator’s hand.Once he finished reading, Lucas’s legs went weak, and he fell on the floor. “How could this be?”Josie looked at him with disgust. “Didn’t you say that Shevonne is innocent and kind and not at a
