Forced to Marry the Sickly Billionaire

Chapter 111: Chapter 111: Lucas Shaw is the One She’s Chosen

Serena Summers was watched over by Edward Selwyn as she grew up.

He knew better than anyone how innocent Serena was.

She and Lucas Shaw were people from two completely different worlds.

Besides, a prominent family like the Shaw Family was a huge dye vat.

He had investigated Lucas Shaw’s background.

The birth of Lucas Shaw was unblessed, with both his parents not acknowledging his existence.

Although the second branch of the family appeared calm on the surface, they had always coveted the inheritance rights of the Shaw Group.

He could not bear to see Serena spend her life in such an environment.

Over the years, the master and the three fellow disciples showered all their affection on Serena, hoping she could live a carefree life.

"Big Brother, I know all of you are fond of me, and marrying him is my own choice." Serena said softly, her voice husky.

"I’ve been looking for him for over a decade, and it took me so much effort to finally find him. I don’t want to let go just like that."

Edward Selwyn creased his brow in surprise, "What did you say? Lucas Shaw is the person you’ve been looking for?"

"Yes."

"So the poison inside his body is the same as yours?" Edward Selwyn immediately became alert.

"Mm, not quite the same. He was poisoned while still in his mother’s womb, and later, he was captured by that organization and used for experiments."

As a disciple of The Divine Healer Victor Bennett, naturally, Edward Selwyn also had medical knowledge.

Upon hearing this, his heart sank heavily.

"No wonder there are rumors that Mr. Lucas Shaw is fated not to live past twenty-five. So, you plan to cure him?"

"Yes."

"Serena, have you lost your mind? Do you realize the poison inside Lucas Shaw’s body is dozens of times harder to cure than the one inside you?"

Edward Selwyn slammed the water glass onto the table; the ceramic and wooden surfaces collided, sending out a dull sound.

A jolt went through Serena’s heart.

She spoke, "I know, but my mind is made up. No matter what consequences arise in the future, I’ll take them on myself. Big Brother, please let me do this."

"Serena, with so many people out there, why must you fall for him!" Edward Selwyn rubbed his forehead, his eyes filled with a sense of helplessness.

"Liking someone is irrational, isn’t it?" Serena bit her lip and softly retorted.

Edward Selwyn managed a bitter smile.

"But to like someone who’s doomed, do you know how difficult the path ahead will be?"

"I know." Serena’s gaze was serene, but her eyes were exceptionally determined.

Lucas Shaw was the one she had chosen.

No matter what happened in the future, she wouldn’t give up.

Edward Selwyn lowered his gaze, his eyes brimming with bitterness, "If the master comes back and finds out about this, he’ll definitely break my legs."

"I’ll protect you, senior brother! Master loves me the most!" Serena cheerfully stood up and sat down beside Edward Selwyn.

Edward Selwyn pursed his lips, staying silent.

His handsome face darkened as though it was about to drip ink any second.

"Come on! Senior brother, good senior brother, my best senior brother..." Serena gently swayed Edward Selwyn’s arm, pleading softly with a tender voice.

"Alright!" Edward Selwyn, looking exhausted, rubbed his forehead, his eyes filled with resignation.

In this lifetime, he feared neither heaven nor earth. The only thing he feared was his little sister’s coaxing.

After a long while, he sighed softly.

"You may help him treat his illness, but I have a condition."

"What condition?" Serena’s eyes instantly sparkled, her gaze flickering with excited sparks.

"Don’t be too happy just yet. My condition is that no matter when or where, you must not harm yourself for the sake of Lucas Shaw. Also, remember to come to me first if you encounter any trouble."

"I promise!" Serena agreed without hesitation, her eyes glittering with fine light, "Senior brother, you are so kind."

"You know that, and it’s good." Edward Selwyn glanced at Serena and then looked at his wristwatch, "I have to go back now. I still have a meeting later."

"Senior brother, remember to have lunch, and don’t keep working on an empty stomach, it’s bad for your stomach." Serena Summers revealed a smile indicative of her understanding nature.

Edward Selwyn halted his steps, unable to resist retorting, "Ungrateful kid, why haven’t I seen you this considerate before?"

Serena Summers gave a sheepish smile and touched the tip of her nose.

After Edward Selwyn left, Serena Summers also got up and left the café.

She casually hailed a car on the road, intending to return to the Shaw Family.

However, Serena Summers did not know that right after she left, a person suddenly walked out from a corner.

That person stared intently in the direction where the car was headed, with eyes full of hatred and poison.

"Serena Summers, you caused me to lose all face, and now at last I’ve caught you red-handed, haven’t I?"

Clara Shaw looked at the photos on her phone and couldn’t help but curl her lips into a smile.

She was already imagining the scene of Master Shaw erupting with anger upon seeing these photos.

Since Serena Summers came to the Shaw Family more than a month ago, she has always been the darling of Lucas Shaw and Master Shaw.

Whereas she has been ignored by everyone.

Even though she is the only daughter of the Shaw Family, she feels like she’s merely an accessory to Serena Summers.

Serena Summers even publicly humiliated her, making her lose face in front of everyone!

She will certainly make Serena Summers pay the price!

After putting away her phone, Clara Shaw huffed lightly towards the direction where Serena Summers had vanished, then turned and walked in the opposite direction.

Returning to the Shaw Family, Serena Summers yawned wearily.

Sister Green hurried forward to greet her.

Seeing her carrying bags big and small, Sister Green quickly reached out to take them.

"Madam, why didn’t you bring any servant with you when you went out? Carrying so many items yourself, you must be exhausted."

"A bit," Serena Summers smiled and rubbed her slightly sore shoulders.

She had gone out to meet Edward Selwyn today and it was not very convenient to bring someone along.

Shopping is probably in every woman’s nature.

Serena Summers bought quite a lot of things back.

Sister Green quickly brought the shopping bags upstairs and went to the kitchen to pour a cup of warm water for Serena Summers.

"Madam, have some water, it’s the hottest time of the day right now, you must be overheated, right?"

Serena Summers nodded, smiling.

In fact, she has a naturally cold constitution, and even with today’s temperature over thirty degrees Celsius, she didn’t feel much.

In contrast, during winter, she would prefer to curl up in bed and not come out at all.

Her masters and senior brothers always teased her for being as lazy as a kitten.

After drinking the water, Clara Shaw came back.

As she passed the living room, she scornfully glared at Serena Summers, then went upstairs without looking back.

"Serena Summers, your good days are about to end."

Watching her leaving figure, Serena Summers was puzzled.

In the following days, each time Serena Summers saw Clara Shaw, she noticed that the looks she gave her were a bit strange.

As if taking pleasure in her misfortune, and also as if mocking.

But Serena Summers didn’t think too much about it and continued to busy herself with her experiments.

Perhaps it was because everyone in the lab had heightened their vigilance, the latest sample data had not been touched by anyone else.

But Serena Summers still did not dare to let her guard down.

The enemy was in the dark, she was in the light.

The opponent was like a venomous snake lurking in the grass, ready to strike at any moment.

Three days later, Master Shaw whispered during dinner, "I have to go abroad to take care of some things tomorrow. While I’m away, the Shaw Family will be left in the hands of Lucas to manage."
