Chasing Back My Ex-wife

Chapter 196

Chapter 196

"I killed Mr. Johnson and then apologized to you. Do you forgive me?" Gail's nose and tears were streaming down his face. "Mrs. Johnson, why are you so cheap? You're married to Mr. Johnson. Why are you still pestering my brother and not letting go?"

Mrs. Johnson had hurt their family so badly. How could they still have the face to stand in front of her?

Lucy's face was completely drained of color. She had already tried her best to keep her distance from him. Even though she feared that she would implicate him, she still brought him great trouble.

"Watch your mouth!" Arthur's face was as cold as ice and snow. If it weren't for Maddox's forged photo of Lucy, he wouldn't have attacked the Pate family on New Year's Eve!

Gail's eyes were bloodshot. "What I said is the truth. Why don't you let me say it? Your wife is a cuckold for you. If you have the ability to divorce your wife, what's the point of dealing with the Pate family?"

"Gail, don't be unreasonable to Mrs. Johnson." Mr. Pate came out with a blank face and suppressed his anger. He asked them to leave. "My father didn't invite you to his funeral. Please go back."

Gail wiped away his tears and glared hatefully at Lucy, as if he wanted to poke two holes in her body.

The other members of the Pate family didn't say anything, but their gazes weren't friendly. If their gazes could kill, Arthur and Lucy would've been killed a thousand times already.

"I'm sorry." Lucy bowed ninety degrees with difficulty. His chest felt extremely stuffy. "Please give me a chance to apologize to the old man."

"Grandpa is dead. He won't hear you even if you apologize. Why don't you commit suicide? When you meet grandpa on the way to hell, you can apologize to him face to face!" Gail said in a strange tone.

The others didn't have a good expression on their faces—

"They are all dead, and the funeral will not let them live in peace!"

"It's fake. It's disgusting to look at it!"

"If you really feel sorry, then hurry up and leave. If Dad hasn't left yet, he will feel bad when he sees you!"

Every word they said turned into a slap on Lucy's face. Her face was burning hot and her head was so heavy that she could not lift it.

Arthur stood in front of Lucy and frowned. "I did it. It has nothing to do with Lucy. You don't have to make things difficult for her."

"Please leave, the two of you. We need to continue our funeral." Mr. Pate tried his best to hold back the urge to drive them away.

Lucy wanted to try to get another chance to apologize to the Old Master in the mourning hall. Maddox came out and said in a hoarse voice, "Lucy, you go back first."

His beard was bearded and his eyes were sunken. It had only been half a month, but he was already so thin that he didn't look like a human anymore.

His beard was bearded and his eyes were sunken. It had only been half a month, but he was already so thin that he didn't look like a human anymore.

Lucy looked at him, feeling so guilty that she couldn't say anything else. She would rather Maddox give her a slap like Gail so that she could speak to her with such a calm expression!

At this moment, a cursing voice suddenly came from the Pate family—

"Where is that vixen? She has harmed our Pate family to such an extent and killed our old man. I must beat her to death!"

"Mom, calm down!"

"Get out of my way! The old man died just like that. You are willing to die, but I am not! Where is the vixen? Let her come out! She seduced my eldest grandson and killed the old man. How dare she come to the Pate family to show off? I must kill her!"

The old lady with gray hair rushed out with a cane. At a glance, she locked onto Lucy, who was outside the Pate family's door. With a ferocious face, she rushed over.

Maddox's face turned pale. He wanted to stop the old lady, but was stopped by Gail, whose eyes were red and swollen. "Grandpa was killed by her. Do you still want to help her? Brother, Grandpa dotes on you the most. Do you have a conscience?"

Hearing this, his eyes were full of entanglement.

In just a short while, the old lady had already rushed to Lucy with her cane and smashed her head down. "A vixen like you should have died a long time ago!"

The walking stick got closer and closer to Lucy's pupils. She gently closed her eyes.

This cane could not kill her. At most, it would make her feel a little pain. If this could make the Pate family feel better, she would accept it!

"Are you crazy?"

Arthur's exasperated voice came to her ears, followed by his muffled groan.

When Lucy opened his eyes, he saw that the walking stick landed on his back, and his head was already covered in a layer of sweat.

She opened her mouth and wanted to ask him how he was doing, but she couldn't make a sound at all. Somehow, the corners of her eyes were wet.

Even though she knew that he was protecting her for the sake of her child, her heart was still soft and painful when she saw how he was protecting her.

The old lady didn't stop. She swung her cane and smashed it down again. She cried and shouted, "Boy of the Johnson family, the old man has watched you grow up. How can you bear to treat him like this? The old man is dead. What should I do?"

The Pate family hated Arthur and Lucy to the extreme, but they couldn't just let the old lady fight like this. They quickly stepped forward and pulled the old lady away.

The power of the Johnson family was definitely incomparable to that of the Pate family. If they really beat Mr. Johnson to a pulp, the Pate family would be finished!

"Lucy, hurry up and take Mr. Johnson home. I am afraid that my family members can't control their emotions." Maddox walked up to the two of them. When his eyes fell on Arthur, a cold light flashed across his eyes.

...

Lucy did not return to Lindbarry Chateau directly. Instead, he asked the driver to drive him to the hospital. Arthur had suffered quite a few blows for her.

However, when Arthur arrived at the ward, his face darkened and he refused to take off his clothes.

The doctor was very embarrassed and said carefully, "Mr. Johnson, if you don't take off your clothes, I can't treat your wound."

Arthur sat on the hospital bed coldly and did not respond at all.

"Auntie, can you treat my mommy's wound first?" Caden looked at the doctor with eager eyes. His father's skin was rough and thick, and he would be fine even if he got a little injury. His mommy's skin was white and tender, and her face was so swollen that his heart almost ached to death!

Seeing this, the doctor's heart melted. He quickly agreed and dealt with the swelling on Lucy's face.

"Arthur, you have been beaten several times on your back. Let the doctor deal with it quickly." After all,

Arthur was injured because of her, so she couldn't leave him alone.

Arthur spoke this time. "Let them go out."

He glanced at the doctor and the little fellow coldly.

The doctor quickly stuffed the alcohol cotton and medicine oil into Lucy's mouth, gave her a grateful expression, and then pulled the little fellow out.

Lucy looked at the thing in his hand, frowned, and said, "Lie on the hospital bed and take off your clothes."

Arthur's clear fingers landed on the buttons of his shirt, untied little by little, revealing strong chest muscles and abdominal muscles, and then lay on the bed.

Sitting at the edge of the bed, Lucy looked at the criss-crossed purple-black scars on his back. His heart trembled a bit as well. However, after just half a day had passed, the scars already became this color. Just now, the injuries should have been extremely painful!

And all these should have fallen on her...

"What are you waiting for?" Arthur urged impatiently. He wanted to make her feel sorry for him, but he was also afraid that she would think too much.
