Ashley also looked at Lucas in anger. However, she was more rational. She took a look at the three
men and gazed at Lucas coldly. “You accept her because she had donated a kidney to you, didn’t
you?”
A mother knew her daughter the most.
Yasmeen had made such a decision by herself and hidden it from Lucas. Hence, Ashley knew that
Yasmeen didn’t want to bind down Lucas because of her kindness.
Now, Lucas had known it and wanted to marry Yasmeen. Ashley felt quite frustrated.
On the one hand, she felt so sorry for her daughter and blamed her for being silly. On the other hand,
she was shocked by her daughter’s braveness.
Ashley had seen girls who could do anything bravely for their love. However, she had never expected
such a matter would happen to her own daughter.
Lucas paused a bit. He knew that everyone was gazing at him angrily. Once he had said or done
something inappropriately, he could end up miserably. However, he answered honestly, “Yes, that’s
true. I felt shocked and moved after knowing this matter. A girl can risk her life to love me. If I missed
her, it would be my life regret.”
“Hence, you are only grateful for her instead of loving her.”
Ashley’s eyes darkened.
“Lucas Green, my daughter can find someone who loves her easily. If you want to marry her not
because of love, you should get out of here. Even she has donated a kidney to you. You can take it as
the approval of the friendship between the Bradford and Green families.”
“No, I won’t go!”
Lucas panicked instantly.
Looking at Ashley and Steven, he said, stressing each syllable, “Uncle Steven, Aunt Ashley, I know
what you are thinking now. I also know what’s in Yasmeen’s mind. I have to admit that I was quite
shocked by this matter, so I was touched for a long time. Isn’t being moved part of the love? Because
of this matter, I looked back and found that except Yasmeen and Michele, I couldn’t bear to have
another woman around me in the past. I understood my love for Michele was only the family affection
between a brother and a sister. However, Yasmeen could make my heart skip a beat, and I have the
desire to spend the rest of my life with her. I’m not sure if it’s love, but Yasmeen is like the wind, the air,
and the water. She has become part of my life and occupied my heart gradually in the past years.”
Ashley frowned without speaking.
She looked into Lucas’s eyes carefully, only to find them twinkling.
If Lucas was lying, his eyes could rat him out.
Although Lucas had been in the military for several years, he was still a young man in Ashley’s eyes.
Ashley heaved a sigh and stood up. “Lucas, if you want to obtain our permission to marry Yasmeen,
you can’t just talk the talk.”
“No matter what punishment or consequences I need to bear, I’m willing to, as long as you can vent
your anger, Uncle Steven. We also have a princess in our family, so I understand how deeply the
parents love their daughter. If Zoe donated a kidney for her beloved man, I probably would kill the man.
Hence, I understand how you are feeling, Uncle Steven, boys. As long as I can survive, the rest of my
life will belong to Yasmeen. I can’t die now. At least, I can’t die before she does.”
Lucas expressed his thoughts aboveboard. Then he took off his shirt.
Ashley walked over hurriedly and covered Jasmine’s eyes. She whispered, “Go out with me. You can’t
stay here.”
Jasmine was quite surprised by how brave Yasmeen was in love. She was also worried about Lucas.
“Mom, what are Dad and the boys going to do to Lucas?” she asked.
“It’s none of your business. If he wants to marry Yasmeen, he must experience it. Otherwise, there will
always be knots in the hearts of your father and brothers. It’s a kidney. Do you know what it means,
Jasmine?”
After that, Ashley pulled Jasmine out of the room.
Right then, Lucas also took off his clothes and knelt in front of Steven with a naked upper body.
Steven was truly angry with Lucas, wishing he could kill this brat. However, his daughter donated her
kidney to Lucas, making Steven angry and sorry for her.
Seeing that Lucas knelt in front of him with such an arrogant look, Steven was enraged.
“Norman, get me my whip.”
“Yes, Father.”
Norman trotted out.
Patrick was silent. Looking at how calm Lucas was while standing aside, he admired Lucas a bit.
He believed Lucas was qualified to marry his sister regarding his aura, courage, and what he had said
that proved his personality.
Lucas could consider questions standing in the shoes of Yasmeen’s maiden family and was willing to
bear Steven’s anger. Patrick believed that he was a responsible man.
Shortly after, Norman came back with a whip.
Steve whipped the ground fiercely and said, “Lucas, have you made up your mind? Can you bear my
anger?”
“Please go ahead, Uncle Steven,” Lucas answered without creasing his eyebrows at all.
In anger, Steven raised his whip and whipped Lucas’s back.
The whip landed on his body while roaring in the wind. Lucas didn’t dodge at all. He tolerated it. It
caused an open wound on his body. Gritting his teeth, Lucas didn’t utter any sound.
Norman frowned slightly, while Patrick was still silent.
Steven whipped Lucas again.
He knew what he was doing. Although he looked fierce, he whipped skillfully. Otherwise, if he disabled
Lucas, Yasmeen would probably die for him. It wouldn’t be worth sacrificing a daughter for this brat.
Steven whipped Lucas forty times. Lucas’s back was torn open and bleed. A smell of blood filled this
room.
From the beginning to the end, Lucas didn’t utter any sound. However, he paled. Sweat dripped from
his forehead to the floor, gathering into a stream.
Patrick was a bit impressed, and he admired Lucas a bit. Secretly, he pulled out his phone and took a
picture. Then he sent it to Yasmeen quickly.
“Yasmeen, if you don’t come over, your boyfriend will be hit to death by Dad.”
Right then, Yasmeen happened to wake up gradually. She had a migraine. Then she heard the
message tone of her cell phone, which was set up particularly for her family members.
Yasmeen tabbed to take a look and was shocked by the photo.
She wondered what was going on.
Why was Lucas in front of her father?
Why was her father whipping him?
Hurriedly, Yasmeen dialed Steven’s number.
Seeing the caller ID, Steven glared at Patrick fiercely.
“Why did you do that? Which side do you take?” he shouted.
Patrick said in a dandiacal tone, “I only take my sister’s side. She cares about this man the most. If you
hit him to death, Yasmeen would fight against you desperately. In that case, it would become the family
conflict.”
Steven’s mouth corners twitched when he heard the words.
The longer he looked at Lucas, who was gritting teeth while kneeling upright, the more Steven hated
him.
“Do you think my punishment is too severe?”
“Not at all,” said Lucas hurriedly.
Steven said in a cold tone, “Look. He also doesn’t think it’s too severe. It’s just a minor injury, meaning
nothing to you, Mr. Green. My daughter has lost one kidney.”
As he spoke, he raised the whip and whipped Lucas again.
