All Chapters of CEO's Forbidden Love: Chapter 161 - Chapter 170

"What are you saying, old man? Are you trying to get under my skin? Trust me, it's not going to work," Lucas said, trying to stay calm. But as he looked at Grandpa Lu's face, he saw something serious in his expression. This wasn’t a joke. Grandpa Lu wasn’t someone who played around with words. Lucas knew that.Still, he shook his head and added, "I don’t care about whatever you just said. Amaya is the only woman I will ever recognize as my mum, no one else. The doctor said I need to rest. Guess I’ll see you when they discharge me from this hospital."****************They had been sitting in silence for a few minutes, and Angelie still hadn’t said a word. Paul was sipping a smoothie like he had all the time in the world. He looked relaxed, even cheerful, but Angelie’s mind was far from calm.Finally, she took a deep breath and spoke up. "I wanted to talk to you. We should have had this conversation a long time ago. I just didn’t know how to say it, but now I have to be honest, I won’t

Jeff raised his head slowly from Grandpa Lu’s lap and let out a light laugh, trying to ease the tension he was starting to feel. "Come on, Grandpa. You’re not that good with jokes. Don’t worry, I can beg Angelie to allow you to spend some time with your great-grandkids. Meila and Keila are just adorable. They’ll melt your heart, I swear. They already charmed me completely. And I think I should just say it now, we’re expecting another baby. Yes, yes, it’s true. Angelie is pregnant."He smiled widely, expecting Grandpa Lu to join in the excitement, but his grandfather’s expression didn’t change."I’m not joking, son," Grandpa Lu said quietly. "Morris moved out because Amaya’s secret finally caught up with her. I’m sorry for keeping you in the dark. When I first found out, I couldn’t believe it either. That’s why I went ahead and did the DNA test. I’ve been doing a lot of that lately." He tried to give a small smile, but it faded. "It’s not my story to tell, but you deserve to know."He

"The cancer cells had spread too far, and Mr. Lucas didn’t begin chemotherapy early enough despite our advice. Unfortunately, he is late now. I’m truly sorry, Ma’am, Sir," the doctor said, bowing slightly before walking away.Amaya stood frozen for a second, then suddenly burst out laughing. But it wasn’t from joy. It was painful. She covered her mouth, laughing through her tears."Did he just say… did that man just call my son ‘late’? Like, he's some kind of report card? Is he joking with me right now? Is he trying to push me over the edge?" she said, tears falling from her eyes. Her laughter turned into gasps of breath as she stumbled toward Grandpa Lu. She gripped the front of his shirt with trembling hands, her voice breaking."Please, Grandpa… please. If I’ve ever wronged you, punish me. Take it out on me, but don’t let this be true. Ask the doctor to bring my son back. Bring back Lucas. He was just here yesterday. He said goodnight to me, he ate my food, he kissed my cheek, and n

Lizzy opened her eyes slowly, blinking a few times as her sight adjusted. Everything felt blurry at first, like someone had poured water over her vision. Slowly, the room became clearer, and she saw Samson sitting nearby, watching her quietly. He stood and walked over, gently helping her to sit up."Easy on that," he said, keeping his voice calm. "You’re not strong enough yet."She looked around the unfamiliar hospital room, trying to piece everything together. Then her eyes widened. She reached down and touched her stomach. A wave of panic rushed through her."What happened? I remember I was in the kitchen… and then the blood," she said, her voice picking up.Samson came closer, took a seat at the edge of the bed, and rested his elbows on his knees. "Calm down, Lizzy, please. You don’t have the strength for this right now. We’ll talk later."She pulled off the thin hospital duvet, determination rising in her face. "No, I’m fine. Just tell me. What happened? Why are you acting like th

Jeff leaned closer to Fred, his voice low and careful. "We can’t talk about this here," he said, glancing upstairs. "Let’s meet at home in the next three hours. I don’t want to take chances. Angelie is here, and she might overhear us."Fred gave a short nod, his expression serious. "Okay, I’ll be there."Just then, Angelie’s cheerful voice floated down from upstairs. "Come, my love! I want to show you the magic I’ve created."Jeff gave Fred a small pat on the shoulder. "Duty calls," he said with a half-smile. "I have to attend to my woman now."Fred gave a soft chuckle as Jeff walked away.************Samson opened the door, and his eyes widened in surprise when he saw Antonia standing there. She wasn’t in her usual pink. Instead, she wore a long black gown that made her look somber and different."Hey… you’re here," he said softly.She walked in slowly, her eyes unsure. "How are you? I heard about Lucas. I’m so sorry, Sam. That must’ve been hard for you.""It’s fine," Samson replied
