Her vision gradually blurred and her consciousness slowly dissipated. She felt that she was no longer herself. What she wanted was the man in front of her...
"Well, you — "
Lucas was about to stand up, when Jazlyn wrapped his neck with one hand, raised his head, and kissed him on the lips.
Lucas was flabbergasted and forgot how to react. 'What is going on? What is she doing?'
Jazlyn's mind went blank and she could not control herself at all. Slowly, she put her hands on Lucas's shoulders.
"You... What are you doing?" Lucas pushed her away, only to find out that her eyes narrowed deliriously. She was no longer as arrogant and domineering as before.
An idea flashed in his mind, and Lucas asked in surprise, "You... Were you drugged?"
Jazlyn nodded. She wanted to say something, but she was afraid she would start moaning uncontrollably if she opened her mouth.
"I... I'll take you to the hospital!" said Lucas. However, Jazlyn held him back and put her hands on the button of his shirt.
Lucas's eyes instantly darkened. The woman's hair was in a mess, and her shoulders were exposed.
His last defense line collapsed.
Lucas picked her up and walked into the bedroom while carrying her.
An evil thought flashed in his mind and he grinned. He was obviously saving a person!
In the Kary Villa.
Mary was lying on the bed with the two kids.
"Mommy, when will Dad come back?" asked Elissa.
"Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." Mary rubbed her head. In fact, Mary did not know it exactly. She had only received an email from William since he had gone abroad two weeks ago.
"I miss Dad so much!" Alick felt a little bit sad. "Why doesn't Dad have time to accompany me and Elissa?"
"I miss Dad too."
Mary sighed. 'I miss him too.'
"When Dad comes back, tell him that you guys miss him very much. Then, he will accompany you, understand?" Mary comforted the two kids but deep inside, she was comforting herself as well.
"Got it!"
"Let's sleep!" Mary checked the time and it was half past eight. "Go to bed. Maybe you can see your father tomorrow morning when you wake up!
"Really?!"
"Really?!"
The two kids looked at her with sparkling eyes.
"Yep." Mary nodded reassuringly.
Hearing this, the two kids hugged each other with a smile and quickly closed their eyes to rest.
Mary smiled and patted them softly, humming an unknown lullaby.
There seemed to be warm breeze blowing in the air, and even Mary fell into a sweet dream gradually.
"Mary, Mary, I'm back."
She felt as if a fluffy puppy was waking her up.
Mary opened her eyes, but she only saw darkness. However, there was not a puppy! It was a living person whispering in her ear.
"Ah! Help!"
Mary exclaimed. Could a thief have broken into her home?
"Stop shouting. It's me." A hoarse voice came from above her head. William turned on the bedside lamp and said, "Don't wake up the children."
"William? You are back!" In delight, Mary could not help but lift his face to look at him properly.
William had just entered the room and he did not have time to change his clothes. He looked worn out and it was as though he aged rapidly while he was away. His face was covered with stubble and his eyes looked tired as if he had not have proper sleep for days.
"Are you okay? Is everything fine?" Mary looked at him excitedly but also felt sorry for him at the same time. "It seems you lost some weight."
"Because I missed you so much." With a smile on his lips, William kissed on Mary's cheek slightly.
Mary blushed and asked, "Did you just come back?"
"Yes, I did." William nodded. As soon as he finished dealing with the matters, he rushed back home right away. He had not seen Mary for so many days, and he had missed her so much. "Then you should take a shower and have a rest!
"I'm not in a hurry." William touched her face and said, "Let's go out for fun!"
"Where are we going? It's so late! Aren't you tired? How about another day?" Mary raised a lot of questions one after another.
"It's Chinese Valentine's Day. Your movie has just been released. I'll take you to watch your movie."
