Chapter 566: Hope For Treatment
Lucas smiled. When he saw that there was no one else around, he reached out and gently pulled Cheyenne into his arms. Only then did he let out a long breath of relief.
Only he himself knew how flustered and vexed he had been when he lost track of Karen last night and even mistakenly thought that she had been killed.
He had been afraid that Cheyenne would bear a grudge against him because of Karen’s death. They had just reconciled a short while ago, and he had been afraid that their relationship might become strained again because of Karen and never go back to the way it used to be.
Fortunately, Karen didn’t die in the end. He was glad that Cheyenne would no longer bear a grudge against him.
He took a gentle whiff of the faint fragrance emanating from the top of Charlotte’s head and then told her about what he had talked about on the phone. “Charlotte just called to tell me that the Stardust Corporation has tided through the crisis, and we even obtained a lot of new contracts and business opportunities. It’s a blessing in disguise. This will also be beneficial to the future development of the company, which is good news.”
Hearing this, Cheyenne felt happy for Lucas too.
“That’s great. This is your company, and Charlotte is also the company’s general manager. I’ve been really worried. Now that things are resolved, I’m finally relieved for you guys!” she said sincerely from the bottom of her heart.
But she didn’t know that the matter today wasn’t caused only by the manipulation of the Taylors but also the Kingstons from San Francisco and the Huttons from DC.
In order to avoid making Cheyenne worried, Lucas didn’t even tell her that he had gone to the Kingston manor in San Francisco to confront them.
At this moment, Lucas looked at Cheyenne’s relaxed smile and said with a faint smile, “Yeah, I’ll have to trouble Charlotte. During this period of time, it’ll definitely be very busy at the office. I’m afraid that we won’t have much time to come and visit William.”
Cheyenne laughed. “It’s okay. Since she’s busy, she can go ahead with her matters. I’ll try to spend more time with Dad. That’ll be enough.”
All nestled in Lucas’s arms, she suddenly said, “Hubby, I’m sorry for what happened previously!”
Lucas froze for a brief moment, but he soon realized what Cheyenne meant.
Just this morning, Cheyenne had called Lucas and questioned him about Karen’s whereabouts right after Karen started the stream.
At the time, she didn’t believe everything Karen said. But she had also suspected that Lucas had something to do with her mother’s accident.
But Lucas didn’t mind it anymore. After all, Cheyenne was a kind and filial person, so it was only normal for her to be concerned because she still cared about Karen.
Lucas stroked her hair and said gently. “It’s okay. It’s all in the past.”
——
At this moment, far away in DC…
In an extremely gorgeous villa belonging to the Huttons, a young man was sitting in the study with a sullen expression. There was a video playing on the computer on the desk.
It was the scene of Frederick Taylor and Karen Turner making a joint clarification.
The comment section below the video was full of scoldings and criticisms for the manipulators behind the scenes and apologies to Lucas and the Stardust Group.
While the young man listened to the clarification of the two people in the video, his face became increasingly sullen as he looked at the infuriating comments.
Bang!
An exquisite, white porcelain teacup was violently smashed against the floor and shattered into countless pieces with a loud bang.
“Lucas Gray, I didn’t expect you, my good-for-nothing brother, to be somewhat capable. Despite the desperate situation, you could turn the situation around. I’ve really belittled you!
“But you can only rely on luck to pull these little tricks! You’ve long been driven out of the family, and not many people in the Huttons are aware of your existence. And I, Jace Hutton, am the most promising successor of the family. You are nothing in front of me!
“Since you’ve been abandoned, you should have stayed in your lane and continued being a good-for-nothing. Why did you suddenly return and create such a stir?!
“Just you wait. I have greater power and authority than you. Even if you can survive for the time being, it won’t be long before I trample you under my feet and make it impossible for you to make a comeback!”
Jace clenched his fists menacingly, and his furious roar echoed in the study without anyone else.

In the evening, Lucas and Cheyenne had just finished their dinner and were about to walk back to the hospital ward when Lucas’s phone suddenly rang.
As soon as he saw the number, his face lit up with joy.
“Lucas, I’ve finished my mission here and can come back tonight! You’re in Orange County now, right? I’ve already booked the earliest flight back!” Maddy said cheerfully over the phone.
Lucas said with delight, “That’s great. What time will your plane arrive tomorrow? I’ll go pick you up at the airport tomorrow.”
Maddy smiled. “If there’s no delay, I’ll arrive tomorrow at noon.”
“Okay, I’ll pick you up tomorrow at noon!” Lucas was still smiling after hanging up, clearly in a good mood.
“Lucas, who called?” Cheyenne felt a little sour because she had heard a woman’s voice on the other end.
Lucas had never talked much with other women. But now he was suddenly so delighted, and he even said that he would personally pick up that woman at the airport…
But before she could continue to be jealous, Lucas quickly explained, “It’s my former comrade. She’s an extremely competent medical expert. She is highly skilled in medicine and internationally renowned. I’ve already sent her information about William’s condition, and she said there’s a great chance that he can wake up again. But she just finished a mission abroad and won’t be back until tomorrow to check on William’s condition.”
“Really?” Cheyenne was immediately overjoyed, and she grabbed Lucas’s hand with great excitement. “Can Dad really wake up again? Can that expert really cure him?”
It was no wonder that Cheyenne was so excited.
Ever since William had suddenly gotten into such a serious car accident and was diagnosed to become a vegetable by the doctor, Cheyenne had been in great agony.
Who would want to see their father unconscious and bedridden forever?
Cheyenne was especially hopeless when she heard the doctor announce that the chances of William waking up were extremely slim and that they could only wait for a miracle to happen.
Now that she had received this piece of good news, she burst into tears of joy. “Can Dad… Can he really recover?”
Lucas smiled and nodded. “Yes, Maddy’s medical skills are very impressive, and she has cured countless patients with complicated conditions. As long as she comes to help William, there will be no problem!”
Cheyenne was so touched that she couldn’t contain herself and excitedly wiped her tears. “Hubby, thank you so much!”
She leaned forward and gave Lucas a loud kiss on his face.
Lucas was instantly stunned.
