Chapter 2577: Chapter 50: Mr. Lucas Nearly Beat Ben Lucas to Death
"Godmother, what are you saying..." Molly stood still, almond-shaped eyes frozen as she looked blankly at Lily, who was gently holding her hand and speaking softly.
Her almond-shaped eyes sparkled, filled with disbelief: "I...me and Abbie..."
Molly could almost hear the sound of her own heartbeat.
Thump, thump—faster with increasing anxiety.
Her first instinctive reaction was whether her private relationship with Abraham had been discovered by her godmother?
"Godmother, I..." Molly’s tone was urgent and flustered, wanting to explain, yet not knowing where to start.
However, her words led others to misunderstand.
Lily had always thought Molly and her eldest son Ben Lucas were a perfect match, and had always considered Molly her future daughter-in-law.
She loved her like her own daughter, treating Lulu and Yana no differently.
At this moment, seeing Molly’s flustered and helpless expression, Lily assumed she was heartbroken and stunned by the sudden news.
Lily quickly comforted her: "Godmother knows this has wronged you. Molly...if possible, godmother would drag Ben back for you to get engaged. But, Harrison, to save him, is still lying on the hospital bed with his life uncertain. Ben refuses to leave, even if I persuade him, it’s useless...
You know, since childhood, Ben was closest to me. He would never want to see me sad, never want to see me shed a tear, never wants me to be unhappy even for a moment. Among the children, he cares for me the most.
But this time, he is determinedly standing on the other side, even when I beg him personally, he wouldn’t turn back.
Molly...godmother is sorry to you, it’s godmother who failed to educate her son. Ben...he has fallen for Harrison. He has fallen for...the younger brother of Benjamin Lucas IX..."
Lily spoke almost choking on her words.
Especially at the last part, when she revealed the truth, she couldn’t help but tremble, tears rolling down from her radiant almond-shaped eyes.
After all, he is her son, suddenly falling for a man without any warning is truly unacceptable.
Aidan Lucas encircled his wife’s shoulders from behind, his expression extremely cold.
The sternness in his almond-shaped eyes was enough to lower the room’s temperature to freezing point.
Their family lingered in City Y for ages because of this matter.
Upon arriving in City Y, Ben had just returned from leading a mission.
During the mission, Ben’s team was ambushed.
The opponents came prepared, and in the chaos, Harrison, who had always been by Ben’s side from childhood, took a fatal bullet for him to protect his master.
Although they were eventually rescued by the arriving reinforcements.
Harrison, however, due to falling off a cliff with Ben after being shot, did not receive timely treatment and subsequently remained in a coma and feverish.
Ben brought Harrison back, but also brought back shocking news for the Lucas family.
He, Ben Lucas, decided to cancel his engagement.
In this life, the only one he wants is Harrison.
Such a major decision couldn’t just be canceled, or taken lightly.
Furthermore...the one Ben Lucas had eyes for, was a man!!!
Lily was almost shocked into fainting on the spot.
And Aidan Lucas, upon seeing his wife’s dizziness, directly grabbed the whip nearby and lashed it across his son’s back.
With Mr. Lucas’s disposition, no matter his own biological son, he couldn’t let his wife’s heart be broken.
He was beating Ben Lucas to near death.
Yet Ben Lucas, seemingly to atone, and to give Lily an explanation, despite being whipped, just stood firm and kneeling silently in front of Lily.
Luckily, Lily soon steadied her thoughts, and with Yana obstructing, the two of them together prevented Ben Lucas from dying at his father’s hands.
[To avoid misunderstanding, I’ll clarify a bit. Previously mentioned, Harrison is a girl, disguised as a man. The main text had hints, a bit in Chapter 842, and other scattered places that I couldn’t locate specifically for now. Here, it’s not revealed she is a girl because this is Abbie and Molly’s side story. Ben’s part won’t be fleshed out until their own plot when it will be detailed.]
