Thinking of these, Yasmeen hesitated.
She knew better than anyone that Lucas had been looking for the person who donated the kidney
these days. If it was not because of her background, Lucas might find out it was her.
Did she really need to tell Lucas the truth now?
Let him know that he owed her a kidney?
Yasmeen suddenly felt bitterly perplexed.
Everyone knew she liked Lucas, but she wasn’t sure if he liked her.
Perhaps he reluctantly accepted her just because she had been bothering him all the time and their
families were getting along quite well.
Yasmeen was always confident and proud, but now she was fearful and suspicious of her relationship.
She felt upset when Lucas didn't accept her before, but he was her boyfriend already, and she was still
distressed.
She hoped that the relationship with Lucas had to be pure. He accepted her only because he liked her.
If Lucas knew the fact that the kidney inside him was donated by Yasmeen, he must feel guilty and give
her whatever she wanted, even something that was beyond his ability. However, a relationship based
on gratitude was not what Yasmeen wanted.
What she wanted was a relationship of equality and love.
But if she didn't tell the truth, she had to keep telling lies to cover the previous lies, and she also didn't
want things to go in that way.
It really drove her crazy now.
Lucas felt his eyes sore as he had been checking the bill for a while, and he suddenly noticed that
Yasmeen was in the bathroom.
Did she lock herself in the bathroom because of embarrassment?
Lucas launched himself off the chair and strode over to the door of the bathroom. He knocked and
asked, "Yasmeen, are you all right?"
“Oh! I’m fine.”
Yasmeen then realized that she had stayed in the bathroom for long.
Well, she would just have to accept what it was now, for she could do nothing about it.
She took a deep breath and opened the door as though she was going to do something huge.
Lucas put his head on the door. All of sudden, Yasmeen opened it, and he collapsed into her.
It happened that there was a pool of water right behind her. As Lucas dived himself into her, she
slipped, and both of them fell.
Lucas felt his heart sink. He unconsciously held Yasmeen's waist, whirled around, and push her out.
As to him, he tumbled down on the floor.
“Damn. Yasmeen, you can’t wait, huh?”
At that moment, Tanner happened to come in. He didn’t know what’s was going on, but at the sight of
Lucas lying on the floor, he misunderstood Yasmeen.
Yasmeen was still in shock, and Lucas cast a dark look at Tanner.
“Get out!”
He growled testily, and Tanner was frightened. Without another word, he turned and ran away quickly,
as if he was afraid to be killed.
Had he interrupted Lucas and Yasmeen making out?
Tanner thought of it restlessly. He was surprised.
He never expected that Lucas liked the lying-down style.
Yasmeen came to her sense after Tanner got out, and her whole face was blushing.
“Lucas Shaw!”
Yasmeen stamped her feet, turned, and wanted to rush out. In the meantime, Lucas's low voice came,
"Pull me up. I hurt my back."
Yasmeen stopped.
“Does it hurt badly?”
People might think that he wouldn't be so easy to hurt, for as a soldier, he was strong. But Yasmeen
understood that he was quite vulnerable now because he had surgery about half a year ago.
She trotted back, reached her hand to pull Lucas up, but she was hauled into his arms.
“Ah!”
Yasmeen cried out in alarm. And next moment, he kissed her lips.
She felt the heat spreading across her body immediately, and her mind was blank. She had no clue
what was going on now.
Dimly, she heard Lucas's gentle voice. "Was it a good kiss?"
Yasmeen was so shy that she was in a trance and didn’t know what she should say.
Lucas smiled and said, “How did you know Julian?”
“It was half a year ago when you were injured. I was not allowed to visit you. He helped me to check if
you were all right.”
Yasmeen spoke unconsciously. And then she realized something was not right.
She pushed away Lucas instantly, looking unhappy.
As to Lucas, he didn’t feel anything wrong.
Yasmeen was not willing to tell him the truth definitely because of him.
Yasmeen was indifferent to anyone except Lucas. She was passionate about him and cared for him so
much.
Lucas had speculation, but he never thought that she knew Harden because of his injury half a year
ago.
Lucas was touched.
Yasmeen bit her lower lip and snapped with fury, “Lucas, did you use the same way to interrogate
female prisoners?”
“No, I usually beat them up and interrogate them.”
Lucas got to his feet, for the floor was a bit cool.
Yasmeen didn't help him up but strode out of the bathroom furiously.
Lucas knew she was angry. He walked out, held her slim waist behind, and said softly, "Are you mad at
me?"
“What do you think? I told you that I will tell you the truth. Why did you force me?”
“Did I force you? You misunderstand me.”
He questioned her back. And it made Yasmeen feel more offensive. She wanted to go away, but
couldn’t not because she was held tightly by Lucas.
“Let go of me!”
“No. It’s very difficult for me to find a wife. If I let go, I will have no wife at all.”
Lucas was torn between annoyance and a desire to laugh.
“It’s nonsense. You have Michele Hawk.”
“Are you jealous? I can feel it.”
Lucas’s lips slightly lifted into a smile. He looked complacent. It irritated Yasmeen, and she trod on his
foot.
“Showing off? I will make you jealous.”
“Don’t you dare!”
“You can try.”
They just made out and now they put themselves into a stalemate.
“Take it back.”
Lucas looked a bit mad.
“No!”
Yasmeen actually was a bit repentant. Since Lucas was so aggressive, she refuted on purpose.
Lucas now looked extremely dark.
They glared at each other as if they both were waiting for the other to give away.
Yasmeen couldn’t take it anymore. She was about to say something, and Lucas spat out first, “Sorry.
It’s my bad. It won’t happen again.”
Eh?
Yasmeen was petrified.
A man so arrogant as Lucas would apologize to her?
It must be an illusion.
