long time ago! So I hope you’ll stop pestering me.”

Lucas froze for a moment and subconsciously felt an urge to retract his arm.
But after catching the hint in Grace’s pleading gaze, he understood that she was just trying to use him as a shield to fend off Liam, who kept pestering her.

After figuring this out, Lucas played along and stood still, allowing Grace to hold his arm while he smiled.

But Lucas’s smile was an eyesore to Liam, who immediately became enraged.

Liam hollered, “Grace Keller! You’re indeed a bitch! So much for thinking that you’re a virtuous woman with a clean background! How dare you hug another man in front of me now? You don’t take me seriously at all, do you? Aren’t you scared that I’ll throw your mother out of this hospital in anger?”

Lucas frowned.
“You’d better watch your words.
Also, Grace’s mother is a patient, and she’s rightfully undergoing treatment here.
You don’t have the right to throw her out at all.”

“Hmph, who are you to lecture me? If I demand that the hospital throw her out, they won’t dare to disobey me! If you don’t believe me, just give it a try now!” Liam pointed his finger at Lucas with an arrogant and menacing expression.

Lucas sneered.
“Hah, you’re just a wastrel who sponges off your family and throws your weight around because of your family’s power.
I suggest you stop putting on airs in front of me now, or else you won’t be able to afford to bear the consequences.”

“Damn it.
How dare you insult me, you bastard?!”

Being threatened and called a wastrel was something that the arrogant Liam, who had always had a sense of superiority, obviously couldn’t tolerate at all.

He shouted in fury, clenched his fist, and swung it at Lucas’s face.

“Ah! Watch out!” Grace immediately shrieked in horror when she saw the ruthless expression on Liam’s face.

But Lucas would never take a small fry like Liam seriously.
All it took for Liam to fall backward was a single kick from Lucas.

“Ah!”

But he fell right into an unfavorable spot by the edge of the stairs.
He tried to prop himself up from the ground using his arms, but he failed to do so and lost his balance immediately.
Then he rolled down the stairs while shrieking in pain.

Liam was in a terrible plight.
His face became bruised and swollen after rolling down more than ten steps of the staircase, all the way to the bottom of the flight of stairs.
He couldn’t get back on his feet for a long time.

Grace looked down worriedly and began to panic.
“Oh dear! He’s had a really bad fall, so he’ll definitely hold a grudge against you.
He won’t let you off! He’s one of the Wallaces! Lucas… run quickly! He doesn’t know your name and identity yet, so he definitely won’t be able to find you!”

She hurriedly pushed Lucas’s arm to urge him to run faster.

At this moment, Grace’s heart was also full of regret.
She merely wanted to use Lucas as a shield to make Liam back off after knowing that she had a boyfriend.
But she never intended for Lucas to get into a feud with Liam!

The Wallaces were a powerful family on par with the Sawyers, the Hales, and the Taylors!

If Lucas really offended a Wallace because of her, the powerful Wallaces would definitely not let him off the hook.
She would be a great sinner then!

But Lucas smiled and comforted her.
“Don’t worry.
The Wallaces aren’t significant enough to harm me.”
