Don't Try to Escape, My Wife!

"What?"

Joseph struggled to avoid Lucas's gaze. Although he kept strong and calm, the frequency with which he drank water nevertheless made it clear that he was a little nervous.

Lucas walked over step by step, looked at Joseph, and took the cup from his hand. He looked Joseph straight in the eye and asked, "Why are you doing this? Do you know the man who came to steal the kidney?"

"Yes."

Joseph finally looked at Lucas.

There was regret and distress in his eyes, but he never avoided him again.

"Why? Give me a reason."

Lucas didn't think Joseph would be a terrorist, much less help an outsider to harm his own family.

He was his brother. Joseph had done a lot of things over the years for his younger siblings, and even for him. He didn't talk about it but Lucas knew all about it.

One could not be so perfect in disguise, nor could one hide for so many years. Joseph was a member of the Green Family and his affection for them was clear for all to see. If anyone had said that Joseph had colluded with the terrorists, he would not have believed them. But at this moment, he desperately needed a reason.

Joseph pushed his glasses up his nose and whispered, "I owe her my life, and I have to repay that favor. I know I shouldn't involve you and Yasmeen in my own affairs, but she begged me, and I couldn't help it."

Lucas said nothing more. He placed the glass on the table and got up to leave.

Joseph suddenly became a little uneasy.

"Lucas, you can scold me, or hit me. What do you mean by being so quiet?"

"It means nothing. I'm going to check on Yasmeen."

Lucas didn't look back or even turn around, but just walked out. But if one looked closely, he could see Lucas's body trembling slightly.

Joseph wanted to chase him out, but when he got up, he found that he had neither the position nor the face to do so.

Lucas left Joseph's office and leaned against the wall in the corridor. He suddenly felt that his strength had been drained from his body. If he hadn't held on so strongly just now, he might well have collapsed in front of Joseph.

The result was too much for him to accept or face.

What should he say if he went to see Yasmeen now?

Was he going to tell her that the kidney had been stolen by someone and that his elder brother was an accomplice?

It was Lucas's decision to operate on Yasmeen, to buy a kidney from the black market, and to restore Yasmeen to her former self. He had done his best to plan everything, but he never expected this result. Lucas's mind was in turmoil, and he had a headache. He slid into a chair with his eyes staring in one direction, while a long hair was cupped in his hand.

It had been found on Joseph's shoulder and he had brought it out with him.

Perhaps he would be able to confirm what that person was after testing this hair. But he was a little scared.

Lucas didn't know what he was afraid of, but the feeling made him apprehensive and uneasy.

Lucas sat outside for a long time before regaining his strength. He took the hair and went to his room.

He actually had a lot of equipment here because of his work.

Lucas experimented for a while and the DNA of the hair came out. He hacked into the computer again to find the corresponding DNA and froze when he saw the person's information.

She was actually Nichole Flores, the daughter of Carlos Flores.

Lucas couldn't help but think of the time before when he had mistakenly injured the hostage.

His gun had been tampered with, and he and Nichole's brother, Ben, were in the same team.

Before, Lucas didn't want to suspect his friend. After all, they had lived and eaten together for so many years, even shared life and death together, and were friends who were ready to die for each other and could give their backs to each other when they went to war. How could such a thing happen?

But now that Nichole had come to steal the kidney, and Lucas had to think more about it.

His brow furrowed slightly.

Carlos Flores had actually always kept a low profile.

He was very steady in that position over the years and did things calmly, and Morty regarded him with respect.

If there was a traitor in the military district, anyone deserved to be suspected, but Carlos Flores was the least suspected one.

But now that his son and daughter were entangled with him, and Lucas had to think carefully.

He exited the computer and saved the hair. Then, as he got up to go out, he happened to see Joseph at the door as he was about to knock. Lucas was a little dazed.

He didn't know how to face Joseph, and for a moment, he just looked at him and didn't say anything.

Joseph gave a bitter smile.

He whispered, "Let's find a place to talk."

"Okay."

Lucas had actually been telling himself not to care, but he could never let it go.

The person could have been anyone and he could have accepted it. The only person he could not accept was someone from the Green Family, his brother who grew up with him. Joseph had taken off his lab coat and was dressed in a simple casual suit, looking like a teenager and making it impossible to for others take their eyes off him.

Lucas followed behind him. He was in a depressed mood because of the incident and exuded an air of indifference.

The two walked down the corridor and immediately attracted the attention of many people.

"Oh my, are they twins? They look alike."

"The two extremes of one indifferent and one gentle are really too eye-catching. I want to know them so much."

A few nurses and women looked at them with fascination. But neither Joseph nor Lucas thought much of this and walked out of the hospital without even looking at them. There was a cafe next to the hospital and Joseph took Lucas there, booked a private room, and walked up.

Lucas didn't say a word the whole time.

Once inside the booth, Joseph ordered two coffees and then asked the waiter to go out while he locked the door behind him.

Lucas watched this quietly and did not speak, but stirred the coffee in his hand. He had no more desire to drink it, and he didn't know what he should do or say.

The atmosphere was a little awkward and depressing.

Joseph returned to the table and saw that Lucas kept looking at his coffee as if he didn't have anything to ask. But the aura of indifference that he exuded still made Joseph a little uncomfortable. "Do you particularly hate me now?"

"Not really."

Lucas didn't look up and spoke blandly.

"You're my brother, my family. I can hate anyone, but I won't hate you."

Joseph's hand stiffened for a moment, then he smiled bitterly, "You wouldn't hate me? What would you have done if someone else had done that today?"

"I would have killed him."

Lucas lifted his head straight up with murderous intent in his eyes. And his bloodshot eyes were telling Joseph that he wasn't joking.

It was also at this moment that Lucas became clearly aware of his feelings for Yasmeen.

He didn't even know when he had fallen in love with her. Fortunately, it was not too late. But what should he do now in this situation?☐☐☐☐
