Chapter 553:

However, Lucas did not leave the hospital.

He made his way to Verena’s hospital room.

Upon entering, he found Verena in bed, her cries muffled by the bedcovers.

Despite Verena’s distress filling the room, Lucas’s face remained an expressionless mask.

Verena's expression turned to one of disbelief, her eyes wide and her lips quivering. “What... What are you

saying?”

Lucas settled into the chair next to Verena’s hospital bed, his long legs crossed with effortless poise. “I've given

But Lucas didn’t pause.
