However, Grace actually called over bodyguards to throw her out. As the future matriarch of the Luke family, she definitely couldn’t afford to lose this much face. She stomped her foot resentfully and left, albeit unwillingly…

James had been shot three times, one of which was very close to his heart. Coupled with the fact that he had ignored his severe injuries and swum in the sea for too long, suffering excessive blood loss and extreme physical exhaustion, by the time he woke up, it was already two days later!

He had a very sweet dream.

In the dream, Lily was waiting for him to come home to celebrate his birthday. She had even meticulously prepared a birthday gift for him.

The dream was somewhat hazy; he couldn’t see clearly what birthday gift Lily had prepared for him, but regardless of what she prepared, he was exceptionally happy and delighted.

This was the happiest birthday he had celebrated in his twenty–six years.

The two of them had a candlelight dinner together; it felt like their romantic life.

Bathed in the candlelight, he kissed her lips, full of emotion and tenderness.

She wrapped her arms around him, clung to him, and responded to him passionately.

She then took his hand and, with a hint of playfulness, placed it on her still–flat abdomen.

She smiled sweetly and brightly, saying, “Our babies kicked me.”

With trembling fingertips, he felt carefully, and it seemed he could also feel the two little rascals greeting him.

The him in the dream was so, so happy.

His beloved girl was right beside him, and in a few months, their two little babies would be born. He felt he was simply the happiest man in the world.

He sat up in bed, forcing his heavy eyelids open. As far as he could see, there was only a pure, deathly still white.

No candlelight, no gift.

He also slowly remembered that Lily hadn’t been able to celebrate his birthday.

On his birthday, she was kidnapped by kidnappers. He received the news and rushed over frantically, but he was already too late. He could only watch helplessly as she was cruelly thrown off the seaside cliff.

However happy and blissful he was in the dream, that was how much pain and desolation he felt after waking.

“You’re finally awake!”

James sat woodenly on the hospital bed. Hearing Ashton’s voice, his seemingly frozen eyeballs finally turned slightly.

Normally, Ashton paid great attention to his image–his posture was erect, he wore a suit and leather shoes, and the pair of gold–rimmed non–prescription glasses he habitually wore even added a touch of “refined scoundrel” to his temperament.

But Ashton, who usually kept himself impeccably groomed, was now unshaven, with dark circles under his eyes, and obvious stains on his clothes, looking like a wild man.

Seeing James wake up, Ashton relaxed slightly.

But thinking that they still hadn’t found Lily, his eyes couldn’t help but turn red again.

“We still… still haven’t found Madam…”

“I’m going to find Lily!”

James quickly jumped out of bed. After walking a few steps, he realized he was still on an IV drip.

He had moved so quickly that he didn’t even need to pull the needle out himself; it had already left the back of his hand, taking a few beads of blood with it.

He didn’t even look at the back of his hand, which was oozing blood. Remembering he wasn’t wearing shoes, he went back to the bedside to put on his shoes and continued to run outside.

“Sir…”

Ashton wanted to say that the back of his hand was bleeding. He also wanted to say that he was so badly injured, he almost didn’t wake up at all; now that he had finally woken up, he couldn’t just run around outside.

However, he knew in his heart that James loved Lily more than his own life. He couldn’t stop

There were still search and rescue teams salvaging on the surface of the sea.

However, after such a long time, Lily had certainly been washed far away by the sea, boats had gone into deeper waters to search.

Of course, Ashton had also considered that Lily might have been washed ashore,

He had also sent many people to search the nearby beaches.

But still no trace of her, dead or alive.

When James went over, it was high tide. The monstrous waves crashed against the shore, and the rolling billows looked as if they would swallow the boats on the sea.

Looking at the boundless deep sea, James felt a rare despair in his heart.
