Yasmeen hastily pinched Lucas, while the doubt in her eyes made Lucas laugh.
"You want them to come in and see me like this?"
Yasmeen looked at Lucas's firm pecs and subconsciously shook her head.
She didn't want anyone to see Lucas like this.
Lucas was hers!
Seeing Yasmeen shake her head, Lucas smiled and said, "Bring my clothes. There are in the
cupboard."
Joseph had gotten someone to buy Lucas some clothes earlier, otherwise, he wouldn't really be able to
handle it with the speed at which his wounds stuck to his clothes.
Yasmeen hurriedly went and found some clothes for Lucas to put on.
Lucas went out like that and opened the door to his room without fastening the buttons.
Outside were the man from the military district with his team. Seeing Lucas' pale face and taking a look
at his upper body, the man asked nervously, "Mr. Lucas, are you injured? Was it from being injured
earlier?"
"No. It was my father-in-law who hit me. It was a wedding expedition."
Lucas's comment made Yasmeen feel a little awkward.
The man, obviously not expecting Lucas to bring up something so shameless and with a smug look on
his face, froze in his tracks.
The others also looked at him with varying expressions.
Lucas was a celebrity in the military district and had become a god to many people because of the
many military medals he had earned.
Now this high and mighty god had become so ordinary that he also had to endure his father-in-law's
harshness and tests in order to get a wife. They instantly felt that Lucas was very close to them.
A few of the bold ones even asked, "Mr. Lucas, will you send us invitations when you get married?"
"You guys probably won't be able to go even if I send them. But when the time comes, I'll be sure to
send the wedding candy to the military district so that each of you can eat it. Here, take a look. This is
your future sister-in-law."
With that, Lucas pushed Yasmeen to the front.
Yasmeen's face instantly turned as red as an apple, and she was even more a little nervous.
"Hello."
Yasmeen spoke in a whisper.
"Hello, sister-in-law!"
Their voices were so loud that the timid could probably be intimidated by them, but Yasmeen was
happy.
To be recognized by Lucas' comrades made her feel that all her efforts were worth it.
"Alright, go do what you need to do. I am fine."
Lucas knew that they were on a mission, so he didn't want to delay them for too long and simply spoke
up and kicked them out.
Seeing Lucas say that, the man didn't show any suspicion or dissatisfaction and led the men away.
It was not until Lucas closed the door behind him that Yasmeen reacted. Didn't Lucas not want his body
to be seen by others?
Besides, why would Lucas need her to find clothes for him if those people were going to see it?
"What the hell are you up to again?"
Yasmeen felt that she had never read Lucas before.
Lucas laughed, "You'll see later. Are you tired? Don't stress about the surgery. With your mum and my
brother around, the kidney is absolutely safe too. Trust me. It's okay, I promise."
"Okay."
Yasmeen was a bit reluctant about the operation earlier, but she knew Lucas was doing it for her own
good. She also wished she had more of the rest of her life to go with Lucas, so she agreed anyway.
Perhaps everyone was selfish when it came to love.
She wanted to live well. For Lucas's sake, and for the sake of a happy life ahead, she wanted to live
well.
The two of them were about to say something else when there was another knock on the door outside.
This time, Lucas was a little upset.
Who was it this time?
He went to answer the door, but Yasmeen stopped him.
"I'll go. You're wounded, so you should behave like a patient. Don't move around. Just sit there."
It feels good to be ruled by Yasmeen.
Lucas sat there with a gentle smile as Yasmeen went over to open the door.
When she opened the door and saw that it was Joseph, Yasmeen was slightly stunned.
"Joseph?"
"Is Lucas here?"
"Yes."
Yasmeen hurriedly opened the door and let Joseph in.
Joseph didn't say anything more and went straight inside. Seeing Lucas's top undone, he guessed that
he had already treated the wound. His brow furrowed slightly and his eyes twinkled as he looked at
Lucas and said, "I need to talk to you. Shall we talk in private or here?"
Yasmeen caught the meaning of Joseph's words and said quickly, "I'm going to go to my room. My
mother and my brother are probably worried about me."
"Yasmeen, you stay."
How could Lucas not see that Yasmeen was avoiding arousing suspicion?
But for him, there was nothing to avoid Yasmeen right now.
Seeing Lucas like this, Joseph understood his attitude and choice, then looked at Yasmeen and said,
"Yasmeen's operation may have to be postponed."
"What do you mean?"
Lucas' brow suddenly furrowed.
He found the kidney in the quickest time possible and then scheduled Yasmeen's surgery just so that
Yasmeen would have less post-operative rejection and ensure the success of the operation. Now that
Joseph suddenly said that the surgery was delayed, and he couldn't help but be worried.
"Has something happened?"
Joseph nodded with a grim face.
"Did you hear the gunshots earlier?"
"Yes."
Lucas walked over to Yasmeen and took her hand in his tightly.
She liked to ramble when she had nothing to do. She had only just agreed to undergo the operation,
and if she backed out now because of some other external factors, he was afraid that next time
Yasmeen wouldn't be so quick to agree.
Yasmeen's heart sank when she heard that the operation had been postponed, and she felt a little
uneasy. At that moment, Lucas took her hand and his dry, warm palm suddenly soothed her anxiety.
Her heart gradually settled down too.
She looked at Lucas and smiled lightly.
Lucas breathed a sigh of relief when he noticed that she was unaffected.
Seeing them like this, Joseph really didn't want to talk about it, but Lucas needed to know about it.
He whispered, "Someone came to the hospital to rob the kidney for Yasmeen and ran into the soldiers
on patrol when he escaped. They clashed and the person fired his gun and escaped with the kidney.
So now there's no kidney for Yasmeen's operation."
"Did the man just come for the kidney?"
Lucas's eyes suddenly deepened.
If it was just a terrorist, he could safely leave it to the men of the military district. After all, with so many
people around, it was as easy as pie to catch a terrorist.
He had only had a chance to spend some time with Yasmeen and did not want to disturb their sweet
atmosphere with other things, but he had not expected that the man had come for the kidney.
He had found Yasmeen the kidney, which was almost equivalent to the rest of Yasmeen's life. And
someone actually snatched the kidney. It was outrageous!
A vicious glint crossed Lucas's eyes.
"In which direction did he flee?"
When he finished, Yasmeen knew what he was going to do, but she just didn't want Lucas to risk his
life for her.
