The Gorgeous Substitute Wife of Mr. President

Evelyn went to the ancestral hall directly.

Some middle-aged maid were asked to follow her. They pressed Evelyn down and said," Kneel!"

Evelyn threw their hands away and kneel down straightly.

Her pink white face was full of obstinate expression.

Those maids snorted then walked away.

The heavy door was closed with a creak.

A cold gruesome wind blew to her face...

Evelyn raised her head. Under the gloomy light, in rows and lines, a few dozens of black painted and golden outlined memorial tablets were setting trimly in front of her. Evelyn felt afraid in her mind.

Time past by seconds and minutes. After about half an hour, with a creak, the door behind her was opened.

Evelyn was frightened. Then she heard steps in hurry.

She turned her head to look. She saw a young maid taking a soft pad with her was getting in covertly.

Evelyn could not help frowning.

The young maid ran to her with few steps and she peeped to the door warily.

"Mrs. Hawk, Mr. Hawk asked me to bring the pad for you. Please mat this."

Evelyn was stunned. She was moved in her mind.

The young maid said with encouraging," The ground is hard and cold. Mr. Hawk is afraid that you will get ill."

Evelyn did not has any doubt with this and she put the pad under her body immediately.

She was undeserved from the beginning.

She was grateful with Lucas since he trusted her and sent a pad to her.

When she kneeled on it, a huge pain was felt.

Evelyn's face suddenly became pale and she could not help humming.

Sweat flowed down along her forehead immediately.

Evelyn tried to remove the pad hastily.

She did not make it and other two maids jumped in from the door with evil designs.

Two of them captured the arms of Evelyn and controlled her. Then they pressed her downwards hardly.

There were needles hidden in the pad!

"Let go me!"

Evelyn struggled hardly but those two did not have any mercy on her.

Evelyn was despairing in her mind.

She was trapped by someone.

The pain went through her bones and made her dizzy.

Evelyn clenched her teeth to endure the pain but her body went soft after a while.

Two maids were frightened when they saw that she was passed out.

They ran out of the hall hastily.

Lucas walked to the ancestral hall in hurry.

He frowned hardly and the worries were floating in his eyes.

He pushed the door of the ancestral hall. The light suddenly went through.

Lucas saw Evelyn was laying on the ground when he raised his eyes.

"Nora!" He ran to her with few steps. How could she be like this after only a short time.

Evelyn opened her eyes constrainedly after Lucas shook her several times.

"What's going on?"

The worries were put on his face rarely since his face was always calm.

He checked her body all over then he found something wrong with her knees.

It was bleeding there. Even a part of her dress was dyed in red by blood.

Lucas's face could not help growing gloomy. He pulled away the pad but there were still a dozen of thin silver needles. "Hold on."

Lucas's eyes were gloomy. He bent his body to carry Evelyn in arms and walked to outside with big steps.

He walked in hurry and his forehead was in sweat since he was worrying.

"Lucas."

Suddenly a sound came from the side of the front. It was Amelia.

She saw Lucas went to there and followed purposely.

Inexpertly they met on the half way.

Amelia felt pain in her heart like it was stabbed by a needle since she saw Evelyn was held in arms of Lucas.

Her nails were carving into her white hands and her sight was kind of crazy.

Nora Davis, how could she ask Lucas to hold her like this.

But Lucas did not even glance at her.

Amelia stood there and watched the view of the back of these two persons. Her sight in eyes were so gloomy that seemed condensing into water. Lucas went back to their villa directly without stopping his steps.

The maids were frightened by his momentum and took a few steps back when he came in.

"Go ask Dr. White to come here!"

The maids were so frightened. A few of them ran out one by one hastily.

Rest of them looked at each other's face and did not know what to do.

Evelyn was all right this morning when they left and after not a long time, the young mistress was back by holding in arms of the childe.

The flame of gossip was burning in the heart of them but they shut their mouth up simultaneously.

Dr. White arrived quickly.

He looked after Lucas's emergency situations, too, so he was very familiar with the way to Lucas's villa. He was even faster than the maid who went to call her.

Lucas put Evelyn on the large bed in the bedroom and stood beside her with a gloomy face.

"Mr. Hawk!" Dr. White came in leading by a maid quickly.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

His did not take time to prepare his tools since they were just used to Laura's daughter.

Dr, White had a look to the bed. He saw Evelyn laying there in pale since the pain.

"The injury is on her knees."

Lucas reminded.

Evelyn was in a white dress and there were a few needles still hanging on it flashing.

Dr. White's face could not help stunning for a second. This was the first time that he saw the vicious method in his career.

Women in royal family used this method a lot when they were striving for emperor's favor in the ancient time.

He did not expected this would happen in the modern time.

Dr. White took a deep breath," The wound made by this kind of needle was hard to find. I will check for Mrs. Hawk first."

He put out medical detecting device from his box as he was saying. He checked the wounds on Evelyn's knees quickly.

Then he pressed by his hand.

Evelyn hummed since the pain.

Dr, White sighed," There are several needles stabbing in deep. I'm going to take them out now. Please don't let Mrs. Hawk to walk these day or it may cause inflammation. Her bones will be hurt by the inflammation." Then he prescribed on a paper for Evelyn and asked the maid to fetch the medicines.

After that, he urged," When the medicines were here, take them on time after each meal and please have a good rest these days."

Dr. White understood which question was allowed to ask and which was not since he could stay working for the family.

He left after all the things were settled down.

Lucas nodded. The clever maid beside already brought a cup of warm water.

"Have the pills first."

Lucas supported Evelyn's body and fed her pills by his hand then helped her to drink water.

Evelyn frowned and swallowed the pills.

She didn't like to have the bitter pills but she had to eat them now.

Lucas got used to see her vivifying appearance. A nameless anger was lifted in his heart since he suddenly observed her debilitated appearance.
