“How did you know?”“So it is.”Desmond’s gaze sharpened.And in that instant, the doctor realized he had slipped.It was obvious now that Desmond had been baiting him, and he had walked right into it.Desmond stepped forward and drove a punch into him.“Talk. Who sent you? What are you trying to do?”The doctor spat a mouthful of blood toward him.“What’s it to you? This is my business. Mind your own and stop asking questions you shouldn’t be asking.”Desmond wiped the blood from his face as the two guards stepped forward.“Mr. Watson, are you alright?”He shook his head, taking a towel to clean his hands.“I’m fine. What matters now is getting him to talk.”The two guards understood immediately.“Got it, Mr. Watson. We’ll handle it.”They moved in on the doctor.At the same time, a chill ran through them.Thankfully, they had reported this in time.Otherwise, who knew what might have happened.If that injection had gone into Daniel, if it had caused irreversible damage, their careers

Aurora had always preferred to keep a low profile.So, this understated car was usually reserved for her.Realizing she might have returned, Desmond felt a quiet sense of relief.After all, she was the one most directly involved in all of this.If anything needed to be discussed, it would be far better to speak to her directly.At least then, he wouldn’t be stuck in the middle, worrying about the two of them disagreeing.In the end, Lucas would always side with her anyway.The thought made things feel almost effortless.As he stepped inside, his tone still carried a trace of urgency.“Mr. Carter, there’s something I need to report.”The moment he walked in, he saw Aurora seated on the sofa.A sense of certainty settled in him.He knew there was no way she wouldn’t be here.Now, whatever needed to be said could be told to her directly, without worrying about conflicting opinions.“Whatever it is, just tell her.”Lucas spoke casually, his gaze never leaving Aurora.Desmond couldn’t help

This was exactly what Desmond should be thinking about.A truly capable and competent employee should be figuring out how to ease their boss’ burdens, not add to them.So, Desmond left quickly.He didn’t even say much more to Aurora before leaving.Aurora felt a little puzzled.She couldn’t help scratching her head.“Why did Desmond leave in such a hurry?”“Maybe he has something of his own to take care of.”Lucas didn’t say much.In truth, he knew exactly why Desmond had left so quickly.At least the guy had some sense.He didn’t linger and get in the way.“No need to worry about him. We just need to focus on our own matters.”Lucas walked over to Aurora, a trace of concern hidden in his eyes.“While you were in Lakeshore, did you take good care of yourself? Were you able to adjust without me by your side?”Aurora felt a little embarrassed.She quickly shook her head.“I’ve adjusted quite well, don’t worry. I’ll definitely take good care of myself and our baby.“Besides, I’m not alone

At that thought, Aurora’s resolve grew stronger.Her gaze gradually turned firm.“Lucas, you’re right. I can’t just go with them without thinking.”Standing beside him, her eyes sharpened. “I should have my own stance and boundaries. If they tell me to go and I just go, wouldn’t that make me seem too easy to push around?”Lucas nodded, his eyes instantly filled with approval.“That’s exactly it. We can’t let others control us in everything.“Besides, they showed up wanting to take you away or search our home—how could I possibly stay indifferent?”Aurora felt it made complete sense.“Don’t worry. I won’t let them take me away just like that.”“That’s not even the main issue. Daniel’s still in the hospital, his condition uncertain and someone’s already shown up at our door. It’s obvious we’re being targeted.”Lucas’ analysis was clear and precise.On the other side, seeing how firm his stance was, the officers didn’t feel comfortable pressing further.“Alright, Mr. Carter, we understand

Lucas understood Aurora’s meaning and didn’t say anything further.It wasn’t that he was overthinking. Reality itself was pushing him forward.At that thought, Lucas gestured to the two officers, signaling that they didn’t need to stay any longer.After all, the two of them weren’t of much use here. Staying wouldn’t serve any purpose.Aside from making things more uncomfortable, they couldn’t help at all.The officers looked at Lucas and Aurora, and in the end, chose not to linger.They were husband and wife.Their presence here had only been an interruption.Thinking of this, the officers felt a sense of helplessness.Afterward, they also worried Lucas might retaliate, so they hurried to leave, not daring to stay any longer.Otherwise, there was no telling what that Grim Reaper might do.Just the thought of it made the officers feel uneasy, unable to understand why their superiors had assigned them such a task.After stepping outside, he even muttered to his colleague,“In the future,
