NovelEnglishAstrid quickly turned back to warn Elio, but found him already signaling her to be silent.
She was taken aback. Could Eunderstand Morse code as well?
They carefully retreated, and before she could ask, Equietly explained, “I taught Lucas Morse code. He used to communicate
withusing it.”
“Oh.” Astrid nodded. “Who do you think is hiding in the room?”
Esaid, “Jay Lampard’s people. He must have guessed that | would cback to rescue Lucas, so Lucas won't be in danger as
long as | don’t show up.”
“You wait here. I'll go find a nurse’s uniform and check out the situation.” Astrid barely finished speaking when Egrabbed her
hand.
“What are you doing?” Astrid turned her head, her brows furrowing. “We are running out of time. Stop dawdling.”
Esaid, “We don’t know what the situation is inside. | won't let you go in and take the risk. I'll go, and you wait here.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAstrid was hesitating, “I...” Before she could finish speaking, Esuddenly leaned down, and through the mask laid a gentle kiss on
her lips. “Trust me, Astrid.”
“This is a hospital, not a love nest!” A passing nurse grumbled. Astrid snapped back to reality, feeling her ears heat up. Damn it, it
was embarrassing!
“You're nuts!” Astrid grabbed Elio’s arm. “Jay knows you too well. Even if you disguise yourself in scrubs and a mask, he'd
recognize your figure. He has never seen me, | should be the one to go!”
“Ding...” The elevator dinged once, the doors opened, and Amanda and Matthew walked out.
Amanda was still muttering and carrying a thermos food container, “You dawdle every day, look at the time. You must have starved
Lucas!”
Matthew scoffed, “Me, dawdle? Who needs an hour to get ready just to step outside, and at your age, still dressing up like a young
girl, who's taking longer?”
“Oh, you just wait, Matt! Say one more word, | dare you!” Amanda instantly flared up.
Seeing the situation quickly spiralling, Matthew quickly backed down, “Alright, alright, | was wrong. We need to be quiet in the
hospital, don’t make a scene, darling.”
“Hmph, I'll deal with you when we get home.” The bickering couple walked past Astrid and Elio, completely oblivious to their
presence.
Astrid burst into laughter, “Are you even their biological child? | get that they didn’t recognize me, but they didn’t even recognize
you, their own son?”
Esaid, “I'm starting to doubt that myself.”
“We'll wait them to go in and then we'll follow. Even though Jay is ruthless, his target is me. He won't harm our parents.”
“Hold up, they're your parents, not our parents. We are not that close.” Astrid shot him a disdainful glance before quickly walking

“Lucas, stop pretending to sleep!” A cold hand clamped onto Lucas’ jaw, tearing open his recently healed wound. Blood seeped out
from the bandage.
The wound hurt, but he felt numb.
