Chapter 138: Chapter 138 Going to Horizon Group

If Lucas Shaw has an accident at the Lawrence Family, they cannot shirk their responsibility.

As the Lawrence Family Head’s wife, she absolutely would not allow such issues to occur.

Serena Summers saw through her thoughts and couldn’t help but scoff in her heart.

She coldly ordered Brandon Reese who stood behind her, "Since the Lawrence Family fears trouble, we are not unreasonable. Brandon, take the Second Master away. Once we leave this door, whatever accident befalls the Second Master has nothing to do with your Lawrence Family."

Upon hearing Serena’s words, Mrs. Lawrence’s face turned red in an instant.

She did not expect Serena to bluntly expose her thoughts.

She forced a laugh and said, "What are you saying? Our Lawrence Family is not afraid of trouble; we only worry about your lack of medical expertise."

"Since Grandpa Lawrence has entrusted the Second Master to me, it clearly shows his absolute trust in me. Grandpa Lawrence, we shall take our leave now. We have dampened the spirit of your birthday celebration, we will personally visit to apologize another day."

After speaking, she left without looking back.

Once in the car, Serena Summers frantically searched for the medical box.

The medical box was specially prepared by Serena.

Lucas Shaw, being outdoors, always faced various dangers.

Especially since he held a high position, he had offended many over the years, and was always subject to assassinations and pursuits.

Serena had prepared various types of medicines, ready for emergencies.

In it were both Chinese and Western medicines, each vial invaluable in the market.

She never expected that today it would come in handy.

Serena clenched her lips tight, her eyes cast down to hide the pain at the bottom.

For more than a decade, Serena had hardly ever stopped taking her medicine.

She never knew the absence of medicine could be so painful.

A bone-chilling cold seeped from within her body, penetrating even into her bones with extreme coldness.

Serena clenched her hands into fists, feeling as if every inch of her flesh was being thrown into a meat grinder churning wildly.

The pain was almost too much to breathe.

But she could not relax.

Nor could she cry out in pain.

Lucas Shaw still needed her.

Serena inhaled sharply and started to sterilize the silver needles.

Fortunately, the back of the chair was blocking her.

If Brandon Reese turned his head back now, he would definitely notice how badly Serena’s hands were trembling.

"Brandon, to Horizon Group," Serena ordered in a hoarse voice.

Brandon Reese was startled for a moment, not understanding at first.

"Lady, where did you say to go?"

"Ho-rizon-Group," Serena repeated through gritted teeth.

Even just four words seemed to deplete all of her strength.

She leaned back exhausted against the chair, holding Lucas Shaw’s hand tightly.

Lucas Shaw was now in a coma.

He leaned against Serena’s side, his eyes quietly closed, his face as pale as paper, without the slightest hint of color.

The lights outside the car window flickered, casting shadows over the man’s handsome and deep features, stripping away some of his usual coldness, adding a fragile beauty.

She slowly raised her hand, wanting to touch Lucas Shaw’s cheek.

Just as her fingertips were about to brush against his skin, Serena suddenly realized how cold she was, and that she couldn’t let her chill pass to him.

She decisively retracted her hand and placed the silver needles into his various acupuncture points.

Having done all this, a layer of cold sweat broke out on Serena’s forehead.

Practically all of her last bit of strength was spent.

At this moment, her hair was disheveled, still with traces of dampness.

Her face was unnaturally pale, resembling a delicate and fragile porcelain doll, as if the slightest touch would immediately shatter her.

Brandon Reese, looking at Serena through the rearview mirror, couldn’t help but be startled.

"Lady, why are you wet?"

Previously, Brandon had focused all his attention on Lucas Shaw and had not noticed that Serena was already drenched.

At the moment, Brandon Reese was silently berating himself in his heart.

He had been too careless, unable to realize it for so long.

"I accidentally fell into the lake, but I’m fine now," Serena Summers said lightly.

Brandon furrowed his brows and nodded, but doubt lingered in his heart.

Based on his understanding of Serena, she was definitely not someone so careless.

Could it be that Mrs. Lawrence is being bullied at the Lawrence Family?

Brandon wanted to ask, but seeing Serena’s wretched expression, he quietly swallowed his words.

Soon, the car stopped in front of Horizon Tower.

"Ma’am, we’ve arrived at Horizon Group."

"Mhm." Serena slowly glanced at Lucas Shaw and, seeing him still asleep, did not disturb him.

"Brandon, take good care of Second Master. I’ll be back soon."

"Yes."

Brandon watched as Serena entered Horizon Tower, a flicker of confusion crossing his eyes.

Why does the lady need to come here?

Isn’t treating Second Master’s illness more important right now?

Brandon turned his head and looked at the back seat.

Lucas Shaw was still in a deep slumber, his delicate and profound handsome face could not hide his sickly pallor.

Serena entered Horizon Group unimpeded.

Many employees had not yet left work, and they were startled to see Serena in such a disheveled state.

"Young Miss, why are you here?"

"Young Miss, why are you wet? Is it raining outside?"

Looking at their concerned and caring expressions warmed Serena’s heart.

"I’m fine. Where is Big Brother? I have an urgent matter to find him for."

The employees hesitated for a moment, then pointed towards the meeting room and said, "The President is in a meeting, discussing the new products for the next quarter."

Serena nodded and walked towards the meeting room.

"Eh..."

The employees instinctively wanted to stop her, but they couldn’t.

At this moment, Serena had no time or energy to consider the so-called consequences.

All she knew was that if Lucas Shaw was not treated in time, he truly wouldn’t survive.

The longer the poison remained in his body, the more severe it would become.

He had endured enough for the past twenty-four years. Since fate had brought her to his side, she would not allow him to suffer any longer.

Edward Selwyn was sitting in the meeting room, listening to his subordinates report.

The skincare product formula that Serena had given him last time had been researched by a professional team, and its effects were nearly comparable to the best acne products in the country.

And their biggest advantage was that the cost of the raw materials used in the product was extremely low.

Today’s youth pay great attention to skincare, makeup, and related concepts.

Almost all skincare products under Horizon Group could meet their comprehensive needs.

"Next, focus on testing the suitability for different skin types and side effects," Edward murmured his instructions.

Although he trusted all the formulas that Serena had developed, the basic procedures still had to be followed.

The employees nodded in assent.

Edward wanted to say something else when suddenly the door was pushed open from the outside.

Edward slowly raised his eyes, and his gaze abruptly fixed.

He furrowed his brow, looking at the newcomer with surprise.

"Serena? Why are you here? How did you get yourself so disheveled?" Edward sprang from his chair, striding toward Serena.

He hurriedly unbuttoned his suit, took it off, and draped it over Serena.

"Why don’t you take better care of yourself? Be careful of catching a cold."

Serena huddled into the coat and looked at Edward with red-rimmed eyes.
