Forced to Marry the Sickly Billionaire-Chapter 295: Explosion

Professor Parker ignored her curses and jeers, merely snorting coldly.

"Do you think... if I take you away, Victor Bennett will come to me on his own initiative?"

"You’re shameless!" Serena Summers’s pupils shrank as she finally realized what ghostly idea Professor Parker had in mind.

Her heart sank heavily, and she closed her eyes tightly, steadying herself, "Master won’t help you do atrocious things for my sake. You claim to be Master’s senior fellow, but you don’t understand him at all."

Professor Parker smiled and shook his head, stepping on the accelerator while speaking: "The one who really doesn’t understand him is you."

In this world, there’s no one who values relationships more than Victor Bennett.

Serena slowly closed her eyes, leaning on the passenger seat, lips pursed, falling silent.

Soon, the car came to a slow stop.

Professor Parker fetched a handgun from the car, pressing it against the temple of Serena Summers.

Feeling a cold hard object touch her skin, Serena slowly opened her eyes.

Professor Parker had driven the car to the seaside, surrounded by SWAT vehicles.

And there was one black car—it was Lucas Shaw’s.

"Get out." Professor Parker’s voice was a stern threat.

Serena’s heart clenched, and she reached out to open the passenger door.

She got out first and before she had a chance to walk away, her arm was tightly grasped by a strong hand.

Then, following her out, Professor Parker stepped out of the car and fiercely warned the people around: "None of you come closer, or I’ll shoot."

Everyone dare not make any rash moves.

Lucas Shaw’s deep and dark eyes were fixed on Professor Parker, "Mason Parker, just try to lay a finger on her! If she’s missing even half a hair, I’ll take your life!"

Professor Parker tightened his grip on Serena’s hand and laughed uproariously to the sky, "Oh? Is that so? I want to see whether your speed or my bullet is faster."

"Stop!"

Lucas Shaw halted in his tracks, not daring to take another step forward.

After a standoff, Lucas Shaw spoke again: "You just want to escape, holding anyone hostage is the same. How about this: you take me as the hostage and let Serena go."

Serena Summers’s pupils shrank, and she shook her head desperately, "No! Lucas, don’t come over!"

Lucas Shaw cast her a reassuring look, continuing, "Don’t you just want to get the antidote to find the formula of the drug from seventeen years ago? My blood is the antidote."

"Lucas Shaw! Shut up!" Serena yelled at him, her eyes instantly reddening.

Before this, even when someone pointed a gun at her head, she hadn’t panicked at all.

But when Lucas Shaw said that sentence, she began to panic... freeweɓnovel.cѳm

And in her urgency, she used Lucas Shaw’s full name.

Lucas Shaw himself was taken aback.

Before, Serena liked to call him husband, Mr. Shaw, and occasionally, Lucas...

But this time, he could tell that she was truly angry.

But he had no other choice.

As a husband, he couldn’t just watch his wife threatened with death and do nothing.

If he could only rely on a woman for protection, then he was truly unworthy of Serena’s love.

Professor Parker was also stunned, a trace of disbelief flashing in his eyes, "What did you say?"

Lucas Shaw’s gaze moved away from Serena’s face onto Professor Parker, repeating, "I said, my blood is the antidote. Let my wife go, and I’ll go with you."

Watching Lucas Shaw inch closer, tears uncontrollably fell from Serena’s eyes.

She shook her head at him, eyes reddening at the corners, causing Lucas Shaw to feel immense heartache.

He wanted so badly to hold her.

She must have been scared when she was nearly pierced by the syringe and now, faced with a gun.

He had failed to protect her.

Lucas Shaw stood tall and slender, pacing steadily forwards step by step.

Professor Parker stared at him in shock. For a moment, a wave of intense pain swept through his arm and he felt it being twisted behind his back by a great force.

Then, his wrist hurt.

The gun in his hand slid onto the ground.

In an instant, Lucas Shaw pushed Serena Summers towards Claire Lane’s direction and stood behind Professor Parker, his defined hands forcefully gripping the professor’s neck.

Just as in the lab, when he had done the same to Serena.

Before Professor Parker could regain his senses, he felt his throat being tightly clamped.

A suffocating feeling he had never experienced before struck him, and his face quickly turned red.

He coughed violently a few times, trying to block Lucas Shaw’s action with his hands.

However, Lucas Shaw suddenly bent his knee and thrust it forward, sending the professor’s body tumbling straight ahead.

At this moment, Claire Lane was completely flustered. Seeing Serena free again, she quickly stepped forward and pulled her to safety.

"Serena, are you alright?"

Serena shook her head, immediately turning to look towards Lucas Shaw, her expression frantic and anxious.

Then, Professor Parker bit his teeth and swept his leg towards Lucas Shaw.

Lucas Shaw stumbled and fell, tangled in a brawl with the professor.

Due to the fierceness of their movements, the tactical police could not aim properly.

Despite being choked, Professor Parker’s face was still swollen and red; he violently rolled over and delivered a punch to Lucas Shaw’s face.

The angular face was quickly bruised.

But he didn’t gain any advantage either.

For Lucas Shaw was not a man to be trifled with; he landed a punch to the professor’s abdomen, causing him to cry out in pain and curl up on the ground clutching his belly.

Lucas Shaw bent his legs and sat up from the ground, wiping the blood spilling from the corner of his lips and sneered, "Mason Parker, confess your crimes."

"Dream on, if you think I’ll confess," Professor Parker’s eyes flashed with a sinister look as he unexpectedly took something from his pocket and lunged at Lucas Shaw.

"It’s a bomb!"

A tactical police officer exclaimed.

Hearing this, Serena’s heart felt as if it was being tightly squeezed by an invisible hand, and she instinctively wanted to move forward.

However, she was barely half a step out before a hand stopped her.

"Serena, it’s too dangerous, don’t go over there."

Claire Lane had never seen such a scene before, and was so frightened that tears began to fall.

But she still retained a sliver of rationality, remembering what Lucas Shaw had said to her on the way here: "At all costs, protect Serena Summers."

Tears had already filled Serena’s eyes, blurring her vision so that she could only see the man’s blurred figure.

She desperately struggled to break free from Claire Lane’s grasp, and when someone shouted "Bomb," she had already lost her mind.

Before she could get there, suddenly, a bright and dazzling firelight appeared before her eyes.

"Bang—"

It was the sound of the bomb exploding.

Serena watched with her own eyes as Lucas Shaw was pulled by Professor Parker, leaping into the sea.

Following that, the bomb exploded.

The surface of the sea erupted into a tempest of shockwaves.

Serena felt a buzzing in her ears, her brain as if jarred by something deep, her whole being in a daze.

Slowly, the sounds around her grew more distant.

She thought she heard someone calling her name.

Like a madwoman, she used all her strength, running towards the seaside.
