Forced to Marry the Sickly Billionaire-Chapter 19 - Grandpa’s Boasting

I will make a trip to Horizon Group right away.

No matter what, the young master’s illness is what matters.”

Having said that, he walked away from the Shaw Mansion.

Serena watched Mr.

White’s receding figure and slowly breathed a sigh of relief, yet she also felt a twinge of guilt.

If it were not inconvenient for her to reach out, she would definitely go plead with her senior brother personally.

Serena lowered her lashes, her fair little face filled with loneliness.

As soon as Lucas Shaw came downstairs, he saw Serena looking dejected.

“What’s wrong?

Did someone bully you?”

Lucas’s first reaction was that Serena had been bullied when he wasn’t paying attention.

Otherwise, why would the little one who was always chattering non-stop show such a look of loss and helplessness?

Serena shook her head, looking up at Lucas Shaw, “Husband, if one day you found out I’ve been hiding something from you, would you be angry?”

Lucas shook his head, his deep voice tinged with a hint of tenderness, “I wouldn’t.

You have your reasons for not telling.”

Serena blinked her eyes in confusion, deep in thought.

Lucas raised his hand and ruffled Serena’s hair, saying, “Everyone has secrets, and I am no different.”

In the eyes of Lucas Shaw, Serena was like a child who couldn’t even hide her emotions.

Innocent and naive.

Clearly very well protected.

Although he had not met Victor Bennett, he could guess that Victor treated Serena very well.

This slightly eased Lucas Shaw’s mind.

“Thank goodness…” Lucas murmured to himself.

“What?”

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.

Serena didn’t hear his words clearly, and looked up to ask, “Husband, what are you thankful for?”

Lucas chuckled and shook his head, “It’s nothing.”

Thank goodness, Serena had met the kind Victor Bennett.

Thank goodness, heaven sent her into his life again.

Thank goodness… it was still possible to make up for the promise once null because of their missed opportunities.

In the study.

Old Master Shaw sat on the sofa, looking leisurely and comfortable.

He turned on the video call to chat with an old friend.

While talking, he lifted the teacup and savored it carefully.

His posture contented, eyes slightly squinting, a face of enjoyment.

Totally lacking his usual stern and icy demeanor.

Old Master Ryan and Old Master Lawrence looked at the person in the video with confusion, wondering if Old Master Shaw had been swapped by someone.

Old Master Ryan: “Mr.

Shaw, what’s happened to you?

Why are you so happy?”

Old Master Lawrence: “Yeah, you’re not yourself today, very much off.”

Master Shaw chuckled and took another sip of tea, making an emphasized “slurp” sound.

He waved his hand dismissively, “Nothing’s wrong.

What could happen to me?

It’s just that our Lucas got married, I’m happy,”

Old Master Lawrence laughed: “I’m afraid that’s not the only reason?

We all know about the joyous event, but you were frowning worriedly just the other day.”

Master Shaw laughed a few times, pointing at the screen with Old Master Lawrence on it, “You have a good eye!”

So, Master Shaw excitedly recounted the story of how Lucas Shaw ran into Serena Summers and decisively whisked her away to the civil affairs bureau.

He narrated with animated vivacity.

Of course, there were quite a bit of exaggerations thrown in.

Lucas Shaw walked in just in time to hear his grandfather proudly saying, “That’s my grandson for you, resolute when he likes someone, no hesitations.

Just like me!”

“See this?

This tea is the Calming Tea personally made by my granddaughter-in-law.

I had two cups after dinner and had an especially good nap.”

Hearing Master Shaw boasting, Old Master Ryan and Old Master Lawrence could not help but twitch at the corners of their mouths.

They had known Master Shaw for forty or fifty years, but had never seen him this boastful.

If he had a tail, the two elders had no doubt that Master Shaw would be wagging it up to the sky.

Curious, they asked, “This Serena Summers is really skilled in medicine?

How did such a coincidence happen?”

Master Shaw’s expression turned serious, his imposing face moved closer to the tablet screen, pretending to be profound, “Our granddaughter-in-law is no ordinary person!

Have you heard of Victor Bennett, the renowned Doctor Bennett?”

Sitting on a chair nearby, Lucas Shaw’s handsome face revealed a hint of helplessness.

He raised his hand to the center of his forehead and couldn’t help but inwardly chuckle.

If those people outside knew how Master Shaw was behaving at home, their jaws would probably drop, right?

After all, Master Shaw was even more terrifying than Lucas Shaw himself.

Years ago, he single-handedly established the Shaw Group, securing the Shaw Family’s position among Corland’s noble families.

His decisiveness was fear-inducing.

Lucas Shaw suddenly thought of himself.

Since he took over the Shaw Group, those people in secret called him “Demon,” “Cold-faced Yama.”

They couldn’t help but show fear upon seeing him.

Unlike Serena Summers.

She’d approach him in a silly way.

Baring her heart to a dying man.

Thinking of Serena Summers, Lucas Shaw’s usually stern heart softened momentarily, just as Master Shaw said, “Lucas, you have to treat Serena well in the future.

Don’t be like your father, abandoning his wife and child!”

“And don’t forget the family teachings of the Shaw Family.

Now that you’re married, you can only have one woman for life.

If you turn out like that bastard of a father, I’ll break your legs!”

This was the first time in over twenty years that Master Shaw warned Lucas Shaw.

After Lucas Shaw was born, his parents abandoned him, indifferent to his survival.

Out of anger, Master Shaw took Lucas Shaw to his side to raise.

All these years he doted on him, rarely speaking harsh words.

The warning he just gave was probably the sternest thing Master Shaw had ever said to Lucas Shaw in twenty-something years.

Mentioning Vincent Shaw, the malevolence around Lucas Shaw dispersed, and a dark glint passed through the depths of his eyes.

He straightened his spine and nodded firmly to Master Shaw, “Grandpa, don’t worry, I won’t.”

He had enough with just Serena Summers.

Hearing his promise, Master Shaw nodded in satisfaction, “That’s good.

It’s hard to find such a good granddaughter-in-law as Serena, even with a lantern.

Lucas, you’re really lucky.

Just stay at home for a while, and about your mother…”

Master Shaw paused in his speech, and saw Lucas Shaw’s face visibly darken.

He sighed heavily in his heart and said helplessly, “You don’t need to bother with her.

She hasn’t had an easy time these years either.”
