Forced to Marry the Sickly Billionaire-Chapter 22 - If something happens to him, I’ll make sure you’re buried with him!
22: Chapter 22: If something happens to him, I’ll make sure you’re buried with him!
22 -22: If something happens to him, I’ll make sure you’re buried with him!
Serena Summers frowned, seemingly surprised that none of these people trusted her.
But then again, she felt it was understandable.
After all, she had never demonstrated her medical skills.
Still, as a physician, it was inevitably uncomfortable to have her abilities questioned.
“I know what you’re worried about, but Master Shaw’s life is hanging by a thread.
Are you sure you want to keep wasting time with me?” Serena narrowed her eyes and looked around at the people before finally fixing her gaze back on Elena Ryan.
Everyone fell silent.
Lucas Shaw’s life was at stake, and no one knew when Professor Parker might arrive.
If they kept dragging things out, no one could bear the consequences.
Serena let out a cold snort and stepped towards the room.
But just after she took a step, her arm was suddenly grabbed.
Serena turned to look and saw Elena Ryan smiling coldly: “I am Lucas’s mother; I have the right to decide who treats him!
I do not acknowledge you as my daughter-in-law, nor will I ever let you treat Lucas!”
Elena Ryan held onto Serena’s arm firmly, clearly determined not to let Serena step even half way into the bedroom.
Serena couldn’t help but laugh at Elena’s attitude.
She had never known before that there could be mothers who would rather see their sons die.
Compared to Mrs.
Summers, it was even worse!
The thought of Lucas Shaw being abandoned and hurt by his own mother made Serena’s heart feel as if it had been viciously stabbed by a sharp knife.
A dense pain welled up inside her.
She looked at Elena Ryan with scorn, her tone icy: “A mother?
Do you deserve the title?
Elena Ryan, if anything happens to my husband, I will make sure you go down with him!”
With that, she shook off Elena Ryan’s arm and strode into the room.
The room that used to be neat and clean was now in complete disarray.
A desk lamp had been thrown to the floor.
Expensive clothes were scattered all around.
The wardrobe had been struck open and was leaning against the wall.
On the bed, the man who was normally upright and stern-faced was now being held down.
His hands were cuffed by the bed, and his legs were tightly bound with rope.
Those jet-black, icy eyes were now blood-red with endless killing intent, like a wild beast losing its sanity and desperately struggling to escape the cage that trapped it.
A suppressed and deep roar kept rising, filled with indescribable pain.
This was Serena’s first time seeing Lucas Shaw experiencing an onset of poison.
He was unrecognizable compared to his usual self, who carried a gentle smile.
A sudden pain hit Serena’s heart, and she quickly walked to the bedside.
Two subordinates, seeing Serena enter, quickly voiced their concerns: “Young Madam, please get out of here.
The young master does not recognize anyone during an episode.
He attacks anyone he sees, and it took us a great effort to subdue him.”
Serena’s eyes reddened slightly, and she gritted her teeth.
She turned to pull out her suitcase from the wardrobe and took out an exquisite box.
“Hold him down.
I’m going to give him acupuncture.”
“This…”
The two subordinates hesitated for a moment, exchanged glances, and did not know whether to agree.
After all, acupuncture was no trivial matter.
Even the experienced Professor Parker would not attempt to needle during the height of their young master’s frenzy.
Should they trust this Young Madam?
“Do you have any other options now?” Serena quickly took out her silver needles, her gaze cold as she looked at them.
“Let her try.”
Just then, a deep and resonant voice suddenly came from outside the door.
It was Master Shaw’s heavy and certain voice.
“Let her try.
I will take responsibility if anything happens.”
Elena Ryan saw Master Shaw coming and hurriedly said, “Dad, do you really believe this naive girl has medical skills?
If something happens to Lucas, even her entire life wouldn’t be enough to compensate!”
Staring at Serena Summers’s back, Elena Ryan’s heart was filled with hidden hatred.
This shameless wench who emerged from God knows where, always managed to make her lose face time and again.
Today, she even publicly demanded her to bury with that despicable Lucas!
Seeing her approaching the bed, Elena Ryan clenched her teeth, wishing desperately to see Serena Summers overpowered and savagely bitten by the crazed Lucas right there on the floor.
Lucas in his madness recognized no one, ferocious like a rabid dog, biting anyone in sight.
Elena Ryan had witnessed such a bloody and brutal scene with her own eyes.
After that, she had nightmares for an entire month.
Every night, she dreamed of a blood-soaked Lucas coming towards her, his crimson eyes like those of a wild beast lurking in the forest, ready to pounce on its prey at any moment.
Since then, Elena Ryan was no longer willing to acknowledge that such a madman could be her son.
Master Shaw was not aware of the thoughts swimming in Elena Ryan’s mind.
He stood straight in place, watching Serena Summers’s back, his deep voice betraying a sense of helplessness.
“Let’s give it a try.
Think of it as taking a bet.”
In the room, Serena Summers took out a Spring Elixir and placed it into Lucas’s mouth.
Lucas on the bed glared at Serena Summers with bloodshot eyes, revealing a vicious expression as she drew closer.
Serena Summers tenderly touched his fair and handsome face, “Does it hurt?”
The struggling man suddenly paused, then resumed his violent thrashing.
Serena Summers touched Lucas’s face, certain that he had heard her words just now.
This meant Lucas’s condition hadn’t yet reached a point beyond hope.
She leaned down, kissed his smooth forehead gently, and cooed softly, “Don’t be afraid, husband, I’ll be with you all the way.
I’m going to start acupuncture now, try not to move, okay?”
The moment Serena Summers approached, a fleeting clarity passed through Lucas’s crimson eyes.
He gritted his teeth, the veins at his temples bulging from the pain.
“Go, get out of here…”
The fragmented words squeezed out from Lucas’s lips, followed by a groan of agony.
Serena Summers understood.
He was telling her to leave.
He was afraid of hurting her.

“I won’t leave!
Husband, I will definitely cure you!” Serena Summers felt a surge of emotion, hastily inserting the silver needles into Lucas’s acupuncture points.
Outside the door, everyone held their breath.
The acupuncture points on the human body were complex; any slight mistake could be fatal.
Yet, Serena Summers’s movements were astoundingly fast, without a hint of hesitation or doubt.
It was as if she had practiced thousands of times before.
Seeing this, Master Shaw frowned involuntarily.
Professor Parker had also given Lucas acupuncture before.
But each time, the professor hesitated for a long time, repeatedly checking before daring to insert the needle.
Serena Summers’s technique…
it was like child’s play, seemingly carefree as if she wasn’t saving a life.
“Dad, do you see?
Serena Summers is simply messing around!” Standing beside Master Shaw, Elena Ryan couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh after seeing Serena Summers’s technique.
She looked at Serena Summers’s back with full scorn in her eyes.
She was determined to drive this rebellious, humiliating wench out of the Shaw Family!
Hearing this, Master Shaw lost the last bit of confidence he had.
He began to reflect on whether he had been too impulsive.
