Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Shotgun Marriage: She's the Apple of His Eye: Kabanata 281 - Kabanata 290

Two hours later, Miles showed up in Lucy's ward. He held a stack of documents in his hands, which he gave to Tobias. "Lucy swung by the hospital today, Tobe. She paid a visit to Ms. Hawkins. An hour later, she went into the security camera's blind spots. However, she showed up in an elevator about another hour later. Not long after, I saw your mom in the same elevator as well."Tobias frowned. "My mom?""That's right."Tobias fell into deep thought. Both Lucy and Joey appeared in the elevator one after another. He didn't have proof to claim that they met each other directly. However, from what he knew about Joey's character, he had a strong feeling that she must have something to do with Lucy's car accident.If Joey actually did something wicked to Lucy… Tobias narrowed his eyes, wrestling with himself. On one hand, there was the woman he loved; on the other, his birth mother. He might not have loved Joey, but when all was said and done, they still shared a blood relationship

What Tobias didn't know was that Lucy had woken up not long after he left the hospital. Upon gaining consciousness, she swept her eyes across the room she was in and realized that she was in a hospital.Lucy gradually recalled that she'd had a confrontation with Joey and found out a big secret. She had been about to tell Tobias about it, but she had gotten into a car accident. Her eyes were suddenly laced with coldness. She had no idea if it had truly just been an accident or if it had been orchestrated by someone.Lucy moved a little and felt that she could use her hands and feet, but she did feel a little pain. She checked herself and saw the signs of surgery. She sighed faintly.All of a sudden, there was some sound from outside the door. For an inexplicable reason, Lucy lay back down in bed and pretended to be asleep. "Lucy Everhart…"It was a voice Lucy had never heard before. There was nothing out of the ordinary with her. On the outside, she looked like she was asleep.

Lucy's eyes darkened as she watched the live broadcast. She turned off the phone and sighed gently. Emily had also seen the entire broadcast. She exclaimed in shock, "Gosh! I didn't see the twist coming at all, Ms. Lucy. I can't believe the Hudson family framed Mr. Ripley. He didn't do anything wrong, but he was berated terribly online. My heart breaks for him."Lucy looked out the window at the moon and sighed again. "Tobias and I are just trying to live our lives as any ordinary married couple does. But not everything in life goes according to our wishes. We're always haunted by such ridiculous scandals."Emily asked, "Judging by your tone, do you feel distressed about it?"Lucy nodded. "Yeah. We've been running into trouble every couple of days. It's as if the more loving we are, the more it bothers them."In the past year that Lucy and Tobias had been together, they had gone through too many hurdles. If today's incidents had happened to any other couple, they might've fallen

Tobias saw that Kate was crying and felt a headache coming on. He exercised his patience and said, "Stop crying. I meant it when I said I can't do that."Lucy heard what he said and had an urge to get up to knock him on his head. He treated Kate so coldly that he was freaking her out.Kate continued bawling. "My friends are going to pick on me again." She wiped her tears. Now that Tobias rejected it, she had no choice but to leave. "Wait a minute." Tobias asked, "Do you often get picked on at school?"Kate nodded. "Yeah. They called me a bastard because I don't have a dad."Lucy was at a loss for words. How was it that children these days were this sharp-tongued? She was heartbroken when she heard what Kate said.At the same time, Tobias was also furious and heartbroken. However, he had no intention of impersonating someone else's dad. Tobias held Kate's shoulders and said, "You know I'm a public figure, Kate. Everyone knows Lucy is my wife. What would everyone think if I show

Emily racked her brain and couldn't work out the logic behind Maya's actions. "I guess Maya's the only one who knows about it."Lucy asked, "Which police station is she in now?"Emily responded, "She's at Blackford Police Station. The officers are still interrogating her and looking into the case. What's your plan, Ms. Lucy?""Faith has been going to the police station recently. She was quite close to Miles. Maybe…" Lucy's eyes sparkled. "Make some arrangements, Emily. We need to get to the bottom of this as soon as possible. Remember, we need proof!""Alrighty!" Emily added, "This is Joey and Mr. Ripley's parental test result. Also, I have the information about everything Joey did while she was overseas. Lastly, I secured the statement from the midwife who delivered Joey's child."One more thing. This is the paternal test result for Ms. Hawkins and Mr. Ripley."Lucy flipped through the test result, right down to the last page. Tobias and Fiona were confirmed to have blood ties.
