Chapter 495 Mr. Lucas Is Coming?
"To be honest, is it really that simple between you and Mr. Quincy? Why do I feel like you two have
been up to something?" Suddenly, Elise appeared behind Madeline, startling her.
Her face was flushed, and she explained, "It was just a misunderstanding between us. Now that it's
cleared up, our feelings have naturally deepened."
"Deepened? You guys are already so disgustingly sweet to each other, how much more deep can it
get?" Elise teased, winking at Madeline.
At first, Madeline was a bit shy, but then she confidently retorted, "What, are you jealous? It's not like
you don't have anyone to be sweet with."
"I don't, stop making things up and ruining my chances of finding a good catch. I was hoping to take
Mia's cousin back." Elise leaned on the railing, feeling a sense of melancholy.
She should be happy for Madeline, so why was she feeling so down?
Elise shook her head, trying to push the strange emotions out of her mind. Then, she saw something
flash by in the bamboo forest ahead.
Rubbing her eyes, she whispered to Madeline, "Did you see that?"
Madeline nodded. "Don't make a sound and don't look over there. I'll go find Lone Wolf and you go get
the bodyguards."
Elise nodded nervously and turned to walk towards the bodyguards' room.
Madeline went to find Lone Wolf, who was already waiting at the door, with a raised eyebrow. "Finished
with the sweet talk?"

singing lullabies outside.
Lone Wolf patted her head and laughed. "You sing lullabies pretty well. But don't do it again."
"I wasn't singing for you anyway." Madeline hummed softly to his back.
"I'll go check it out. You guys wait here." Lone Wolf said to Madeline as he returned with a man a few
minutes later.
Madeline instructed the bodyguards to protect Mia's grandparents and Mia, leaving the two remaining
guards to watch the door of the children's room.
A few minutes later, Lone Wolf came back with a man.
The man was wearing a crumpled suit. Although dirty, he was well-made and not something an
average person could afford.
Lone Wolf lifted his head, his messy hair sticking to his face and his full beard almost hiding his proper
appearance. For a moment, no one recognized him.
"Speak! What are you trying to do by sneaking around outside?" Elise held a red-hot pair of tongs and
tried to scare him.
The man looked up at her but did not say anything.
"Hey, you dare to disrespect me?" Elise raised the tongs, wanting to scare him again, but when she
lifted them, she almost hit Gabriel's face.
She threw the tongs and looked up at Gabriel with concern. "Are you okay? I didn't mean to, I'm sorry!"
For a moment, everyone's attention was drawn to Gabriel.
Only Mia took a few steps forward, tears in her eyes as she stared at the man and whispered, "Mr.
Lucas?"
"Lucas? How did you end up like this?" Madeline stared at the man in front of him, who looked like a
wild man. When he brushed his hair away from his face and looked more closely, he realized it was
Lucas.
"Mia, I..." The bodyguard let go of Lucas, and he tried to hold Mia's hand.
Mia shook him off as if she had been electrocuted and ran away.
Lucas wanted to chase her, but Madeline stopped him. "Go clean up first, pull yourself together, okay?
How can you take care of her if you're not okay?"
"I..." Lucas knelt in pain, and Madeline saw two big tears roll down his cheeks.
She heard from Noah that Lucas personally interrogated those who bullied Mia and learned many
details that made him collapse. Then he chopped off their fingers and even the genitals of one of them.
Noah feared he could not handle the shock and had them all chemically castrated. They were all
desperadoes who could quickly be sentenced to death with a casual investigation. It was not a big deal
to castrate them in advance.
But did not Noah say that Lucas's mental health was not good and that he went to a convalescent
home for treatment? Why did he suddenly come here?
"Lucas, Mia has been emotionally stable, and you must not provoke her. Do you want her to live under
the shadow of those people for the rest of her life? She has finally managed to forget about them and
decided to start a new life. By appearing in front of her like this, you will only keep reminding her of
what she has been through."
Patiently squatting down, Madeline persuaded Lucas.
Lucas seemed to have heard the request and wiped his face. He looked at He said with his reddened
eyes, "Let me stay. I can stay away from her, but I want to watch over her."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"You were in the bamboo forest last night?" Madeline looked at the mosquito bites on Lucas with some
pity.
Lucas nodded.
Madeline sighed and asked Lone Wolf to bring a set of clothes for Lucas to change into.
"The past is not a big deal. The more you show that you care too much, Mia will be hurt. If you still want
to be with her, pretend that nothing has happened and stand in front of her with your head held high as
Mr. Lucas. Do you understand?"
Lucas's bewildered eyes gradually focused, igniting hope. He took Lone Wolf’s collar excitedly and
brought him to the third floor.
For the first time in his life, someone else carried the Lone Wolf away. He was so angry that he wanted
to fight Lucas, but Madeline glared at him, and he went back.
"I tell you, that girl, I like her! I'll fight you for her!" Lone Wolf's mischievous mind started working.
I can't beat you up, but I'll make you regret it.
Lucas was initially filled with uncontrollable anger, but suddenly, it disappeared. He looked down and
said to Lone Wolf, "If you want to pursue her, go ahead. Don't force her, or I'll kill you."
"I'm afraid of you! Humph!" Lone Wolf rolled his eyes and threw his favorite petite clothes at Lucas.
Madeline went to find Mia when she saw that Lucas did not fight with Lone Wolf. Mia was in the kitchen
helping Gabriel prepare breakfast when she found her. Elise was squatting in front of the stove, making
an "OK" gesture to Madeline.
"It smells so good. What are we having for breakfast?" Madeline breathed a sigh of relief and casually
asked.
"We're having rice noodles made by Gabriel. It's a local specialty and so delicious, right??" Elise
proudly introduced it before Gabriel had the chance to speak."
Gabriel took a glance at Elise but quickly looked away without staring. He then poured a large spoonful
of soup into his bowl.
