Chapter 463

Astrid quickly turned back to warn Elio, but found him already signaling her to be silent.

She was taken aback. Could Elio understand Morse code as well?

They carefully retreated, and before she could ask, Elio quietly explained, “I taught Lucas Morse code. He used to communicate with me using it.”

“Oh.” Astrid nodded. “Who do you think is hiding in the room?”

Elio said, “Jay Lampard’s people. He must have guessed that I would come back to rescue Lucas, so Lucas won’t be in danger as long as I don’t show up.”

“You wait here. I’ll go find a nurse’s uniform and check out the situation.” Astrid barely finished speaking when Elio grabbed her hand.

“What are you doing?” Astrid turned her head, her brows furrowing. “We are running out of time. Stop dawdling.”

Elio said, “We don’t know what the situation is inside. I won’t let you go in and take the risk. I’ll go, and you wait here.”

Astrid was hesitating, “I...” Before she could finish speaking, Elio suddenly leaned down, and through the mask laid a gentle kiss on her lips. “Trust me, Astrid.”

“This is a hospital, not a love nest!” A passing nurse grumbled. Astrid snapped back to reality, feeling her ears heat up. Damn it, it was embarrassing!

“You’re nuts!” Astrid grabbed Elio’s arm. “Jay knows you too well. Even if you disguise yourself in scrubs and a mask, he’d recognize your figure. He has never seen me, I should be the one to go!”

“Ding...” The elevator dinged once, the doors opened, and Amanda and Matthew walked out.

Amanda was still muttering and carrying a thermos food container, “You dawdle every day, look at the time. You must have starved Lucas!”

Matthew scoffed, “Me, dawdle? Who needs an hour to get ready just to step outside, and at your age, still dressing up like a young girl, who’s taking longer?”

“Oh, you just wait, Matt! Say one more word, I dare you!” Amanda instantly flared up.

Seeing the situation quickly spiralling, Matthew quickly backed down, “Alright, alright, I was wrong. We need to be quiet in the hospital, don’t make a scene, darling.”

“Hmph, I’ll deal with you when we get home.” The bickering couple walked past Astrid and Elio, completely oblivious to their presence.

Chapter 4596 Astrid burst into laughter, “Are you even their biological child? I get that they didn’t recognize me, but they didn’t even recognize you, their own son?”

Elio said, “I’m starting to doubt that myself.”

“We’ll wait them to go in and then we’ll follow. Even though Jay is ruthless, his target is me. He won’t harm our parents.”

“Hold up, they’re your parents, not our parents. We are not that close.” Astrid shot him a disdainful glance before quickly walking ahead.

Elio watched her slender figure, a warmth spreading in his eyes.

Meanwhile, Lucas lay in a hospital bed, tormented beyond belief. His biological father was trying to kill him just to inherit the Lampard Group. The irony was unbearable.

“Lucas, stop pretending to sleep!” A cold hand clamped onto Lucas' jaw, tearing open his recently healed wound. Blood seeped out from the bandage.

The wound hurt, but he felt numb.
