Once Joey and Maya returned to Ripley Residence, Joey headed to the study and handed the report to Tobias.Tobias read the report and said furiously, "How is this possible? I never touched her. Something is wrong with this report!""Maya and I went to get her checked and waited for the results before coming home. How could there be anything wrong with this report?" Joey argued, "No matter what, you must take full responsibility for what you did to Maya. I will handle that Eberhard girl."Tobias stood up with a loud thump. He coldly inched closer to her, his body exuding an intimidating air. "If you dare touch even a strand of her hair, I will make sure you never step foot in this place again!"Joey shuddered at Tobias' threatening tone.Joey's voice was shaking as she immediately softened. "Tobias, don't get so worked up. I never said I'd hurt Lucy. I'll speak with her nicely and see what she thinks. Then, we'll decide what to do."After Joey assured him, Tobias restrained of the

"Lucy?" Noticing her slight movements, Tobias gently called her name.Lucy didn't seem eager to answer him. She pursed her lips, providing no response.Tobias felt as if someone was tugging his heart. He touched Lucy's face and said gruffly, "Babe, I know you're awake. Don't ignore me. Let's talk, okay?"Tobias lowered his head, attempting to kiss her forehead. However, Lucy turned away, avoiding his kiss.Tobias was stunned.Lucy's eyes were closed, while her eyebrows were furrowed and her lips were pursed tightly. Anger was flowing through her.Tobias's temper started to flare up when he noticed her behavior. He said coldly, "What are you trying to do?"Did she despise him? Why wouldn't she let him kiss her?Lucy was in agony. She opened her eyes and looked at Tobias coldly. She uttered, "Tobias, you betrayed me. Since I can't have children anymore, there will be no future even if we continue to stay together. Why don't we save each other the pain and…"Lucy opened her mouth

Lucy was devastated. Her heart hurt so much that she struggled to breathe.Sasha noticed how devastated Lucy was. Without saying a word, she pushed Lucy away in her wheelchair, but Rhett went forward and stopped them. He said, "Lucy, the DNA results may have come as a surprise, but I've already treated you as my own sister. If you're willing, you can recuperate with us. We will take good care of you.""Rhett!" As Rhett finished speaking, Brett protested to stop him.Rhett looked at him, confused. "What's the matter, Brett? Don't tell me you hadn't been treating Lucy like our sister the whole time."A guilty look crossed Brett's eyes. However, he stubbornly said, "I only believe in science. The results stated that she isn't our sister. You can't grow soft-hearted and treat everyone well."Brett's statement was cutthroat enough. Then, he added, "Plus, our house isn't a shelter!"Initially, Lucy had felt comforted by Rhett's thoughtfulness. However, Brett's statement made it feel

Walter paused for a moment. He didn't want to share the address of Tobias' private villa with someone else. However, out of nowhere, Joey appeared and said, "I know where Tobias' private villa is.""Why aren't you asleep, Joey?"Joey gave Maya a look and said, "How can I sleep when your situation hasn't been settled yet? Since Tobias is heading to his private villa, you should head over to care for him."Maya tried to appear shy. "Thank you, Joey.""Madam Joey, I don't think this is appropriate. Mr. Ripley doesn't like anyone barging into his private villa without permission."Joey glared at Walter and reprimanded him coldly, "Is Maya an outsider? She will be the lady of this household from now on. We don't need you here. You can go now. Also, I will send someone to take Lucy to the private villa."Walter wanted to say something, but Joey shot him a warning look. He had no choice but to leave.Joey wrote the address of Tobias' private villa on a note and handed it to Maya. She s

Tobias' heart started to palpitate at the sound of Lucy's voice coming from outside the door. He had done nothing wrong, but he was afraid Lucy would misunderstand. So, he immediately covered Maya's mouth and gave her a warning look."I'm showering, babe. Wait a minute."Tobias's voice calmed Lucy's anxious heart. However, she was worried that he was too sick to open the door, so she suggested, "Tobias, Walter told me you were sick. You must feel awful. Why don't I come in and take care of you?"As Lucy spoke, Tobias grabbed Maya in one hand while covering her mouth with the other, frantically looking for a place for her to hide.He thought it wouldn't be appropriate to hide her under the bed.He wanted to hide her behind the curtains but feared she would be discovered. At this moment, Tobias was like an ant on a hot pan. His nerves were frazzled.Maya, on the other hand, was as cool as a cucumber. She didn't like Tobias, but their situation made it look like they were about to
