Chapter 071 ~ Idiot

071.Fear gripped Janette as her hands trembled. She was about to shed a tear when she recalled that she was a doctor. Her instincts kicked in immediately and she rushed to her feet and stormed out of the office. She quickly called the male and female nurses.“Bring a stretcher to my office immediately!”A few minutes later, they were rolling Lucas into a ward room. When they were in, Janette wanted to check but one of her doctors stopped her.“You are all flustered right now. It wouldn’t be right for you to check on him and treat him yet. Why not allow us to handle it? You can go out and calm down.”Janette shook her head. “I have a fast seat of relieving him. I’m not flustered. I’m so calm right now,” she said but the fear could be seen on her face.The nurses exchanged curious looks. They’d never seen her worried over a patient like this before. Could it be personal? The doctors tried to talk Janette out of it but she refused and decided to calm herself down instead. When they wer

Chapter 072 ~ Butterfly Tattoo

072.CALIFORNIA…“It’s done?” Liam asked.“Yes,” the person answered from the other end and Liam hung up the phone with a smile. Finally, Lucas was taken care of. He would be returning home in five days. He was sure Lucas would still be asleep before he came.Thankfully, they didn’t use just peanut butter but there were also sleeping drugs induced in the sandwich he took; one that would be hard to detect. He was sure that would keep Lucas knocked out until he returned and proposed to Janette.He was sure that Janette was going down memory lane by now, and she was going to hate Lucas even more. He’d heard about what happened a week ago—how Lucas had sey up a dinner date and Janette became very angry.He had simply called to know how Janette was doing after that, and he didn’t want to say he was happy she looked devastated, but that gave him the hope that he had a chance with her and Lucas had lost that round.He chuckled and crossed his legs. “Don’t worry, my Princess. I will be back t

Chapter 073 ~ Stupid emotions

073.Liam couldn’t believe what his father just said. “What are you talking about? You know I can’t hurt Janette.”Reynold scoffed. “What? She can handle it. It’s not like you love her or something. We’ve been doing this because of what we tend to gain.”Liam shook his head. “Yeah, I might have done this because of what I wanted to gain by marrying her, but I love her genuinely, Dad. Besides, after our marriage, she’s going to be with me for the rest of her life. How do you want her to like me if I do that to her?”Reynold smacked his head. “You fool!” he snapped. “I never said you have to do it by yourself. Get someone to get it done for you. And you know who I am talking about. If she does it, no one will even suspect you. After all, both of them are already clashing.”Liam sighed and ruffled his hair. “But you do know I love her right? She’s going to go through pain—““Put your stupid emotions aside and do what I ask you,” Rey

Chapter 074 ~ Someone is after Lucas

074.Janette quickly moved away from him like she had been harassed and blinked at him. Her cheeks turned pink immediately and she quickly looked away from Lucas.Her head buzzed with embarrassment. She couldn’t believe he heard everything she said. And the kiss… her hands went to her lips and she touched them—soft, moist—as a result of the Kiss. Her heart beat accelerated.She tensed up when she felt someone wrap his arms around her. Her body relaxed when Lucas kissed the crook of her neck.“Jane,” he called, his voice barely above a whisper. Janette felt the tingles in her neck as a result of his breathing, but her throat felt like it was clogged and she couldn’t bring herself to say anything else. She felt if she opened her mouth, it might come out as a croak instead. Her throat had already dried at this rate.Lucas pulled back and turned her to face him. “Did you mean everything you said?”Janette opened her mouth to speak bu

Chapter 075 ~ Marry her immediately!

075.“What do you mean?” Alan asked, his face already showing that he was worried.“You know when you felt the peanut butter was added to his sandwich due to a mistake?” she asked and he nodded. “I don’t think it was a mistake because not only was that intentionally added to trigger his allergy, but it was also poisoned.”Alan’s eyes widened. “Poisoned?”Janette nodded. “That’s what we just found out. So I need to know if he has any enemies or anything.”Alan massaged his temple as he thought of something. Lucas might have various business rivals, but they hadn’t done anything yet. They were only looking for what to use against him, and so far, they have gotten nothing. So the main enemy or rival he knew Lucas would have now is Liam. But Liam wouldn’t stoop that low, right?Alan sighed. “I can’t think of anyone right now, but I’ll go check where the delivery came and see what they have to say about this.”Janette nodded even though she was not fully convinced. Alan bowed and walked in

Chapter 076 ~ He hurt you and I healed you

076.Next Day…When Janette woke up, Liam was already dressed for work. She hadn’t been able to sleep the previous night. Even the blood testing she wanted to do, she couldn’t do it either. Her mind was racing with different thoughts about her conversation with Liam, and she could only turn and toss in bed. She was only able to get some sleep after a few hours, and it wasn’t even up to forty-five minutes before her alarm went off again. She got down from the bed and walked to where Liam stood, trying to fix his tie. She took it from him and began helping him. “I’m sorry about what happened between us yesterday. You know, I’m not trying to make excuses, but you know how much I love chocolate perfumes. I even began using chocolate perfumes before I dated and married Lucas, and I only attached importance to it after Lucas told me he loved how the perfume smelled on me. After lie divorce, I still wore it because I loved it and even though it reminds me of what he says about it sometimes,
